DUE PROCESS "Combine XXIII-XXXV" LPPhage
hmm.. so how many of you guys listen Due Process?? I admire greatly some of the stuff, but some is just not quite as noisy as their best ones. Due Process here is Ron Lessard, John Wiggins, Thomas Dimuzio and Zanstones. But in reality part of the stuff is John Wiggins solo work and other stuff is Dimuzio works where he uses 2005 radio live of him and Lessard as source sounds. It's more of electro-acoustic/experimental kind of stuff here. Lots of effects, lots of odd cutting & twisting the sounds. Pretty good LP, but cover art is a bit turn off for me. It's pretty much never, when I see this projects name appear on any talk...
NEVAI_NONET "String Oktet In A" 12"
Devils Fork
This is totally odd. I remember one member said that it is stuff unlike anything else. I was kind of "yeah, right" as it's not that easy to bring in table something completely unheard. Of course it's up to debate whether this is it, but lets say, you don't find records like this too often. I'm kind of out of my words, but saying free form metal band playing scott Walker string songs with drums what are either leaning to free jazz or lets say noisecore - hah... While all the musical references are somehow more elegant and arty, it really is more chaotic and odd. Distorted vocals add more oddity. Sometimes one wonders is this done as humor or is it plain serious, but who knows? Occasionally it sounds like band with attempt to create gothic symphonic industrial metal failed and something went terribly wrong. To press 45rpm heavy vinyl full color gatefold release of THIS, got to admire a bit!

1991 Italian some sort of gothic leaning stuff. Think of digital piano and cheesy "angel choir" pre-set keyboards and reverb drenched etheral female vocals. I have no idea when and why I have bought this. Few moments I like, most things I feel embarressed for this due, which seems to be sister & brother?
CURRENT 93 "Honeysuckle Aeons" LPCoptic Cat
Felt tempted to check out more later days C93. I have actually bough more of later days LPs but just shelved to "later use", as didn't feel like listening, but didn't want to miss them if they are good. This passes me without leaving any mark. I'm not fully prepared to really listen what Tibet is saying in his lengthy monologue throughout each track, but as merely phonetic element of track, Tibets voice gets... ehm.. well, lets say he is not THE most charismatic speakers in world. I don't get irritated for listening LP, but neither there is anything what is really indicating I should be returning to this anytime soon. I'm confident, next time I do so, it would be with bottle of whiskey, armchair and holding lyric sheet in my hand.
