PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[FreakAnimalFinland]

DERNIERE VOLONTE "Obeir Et Mourir" 2xLP
Hauruck
Probably like this more now than before. I still think some of the drum machine marching beats are pretty cheap, but well... Martial music. I like noble historical speeches, gloomy atmospheres and that it has noisy moments. Too bad this reissue is just the tape, while noble looking 2xCD box on N&B had several bonus tracks.

ATRAX MORGUE "In Search of death" LP
Urashima
Great. Just great stuff. Lethal synth tones, grim vocals, movie samples. In a way, simple stuff what "anyone with synth could do" (haha!), but reality shows nobody has done it quite like Atrax Morgue did!

MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA "Anal Perversion" LP
Urashima
Especially A-side is phenomenal. Even better than I remembered. Or perhaps its that I've mostly listened old bootleg LP made out of who know what kind of tape instead of master. So rough, so fierce. Just insane. B-side is much more of feedback noise than utmost distorted harshness. I like how quality of sound is so raw, that even some surface noise of vinyl doesn't bother at all.

DAMIEN DUBROVNIK "Patterns of Penetratuon" 7"
Alter
Great 7"! Kind of power electronics meets techno, but managing to involve good elements of these genres. Crispy sound. Highly electric noises. Nice vocals.

PUCE MARY "Persona" LP
Posh Isolation
Great! Some tracks are full on "euro PE", some more gloomy and atmospheric, with nasty sex noises here and there. Moaning, strangulation, good spices from field recordings. Needs more listening! Tomorrow again...

[FreakAnimalFinland]

More of the Puce LP. Yep, it is less aggressive, less noisy, more calm, erotic, suffocating. I like.

CONTROLLED BLEEDING " Songs From A Sewer Of Dreams" 4xLP +7" box
VOD
Jeeesus christ what a load of CRAP!!!! One side of "lost versions" of Knees & Bones material doesn't save from facts that 7 other sides are SHIT. Opening track, in all honesty, is pretty good. 2007 industrial works. But rest is 1) utterly without any red line 2) generally inferior in context of any type of genre they could be placed. If its free jazz, it's crappy. If its space rock, its crappy. If its ambient, its crappy. etc etc. At worst you'll be listening (as membership gift) band jamming Doors cover song. Fuck Doors and fuck this box. Apparently quite a lot of people feel the same and discogs seems to be cluttered with boxes for sale... Good luck for anyone trying to get rid of this.

KARJALAN SISSIT "Misere" LP
Eternal Soul
Neoclassical/martial music with amusing samples from comedy, b-rate action, themes of drinking and violence etc. Sometimes still pretty good, occasionally this 10 year anniversary edition has doesn't have the same impact it may have had long ago.

Jason Lescalleet - Much To My Demise (Kye)

Surprised to see no one mention it yet, would probably appeal to many on this board. Really blown away by this record. Can't stop playing the b side, really effective use of stops and starts, and general mastery of the tape machine.

-STELVIO CIPRIANI: THE GREAT ALLIGATOR (soundtrack) LP
[

total cult. love especially the German version of the main song

[Jaakko V.]

Olympic Shit Man - Supercharge (2LP, Harbinger)

Perfect harsh noise! Rough sound, nice dynamic range, rusty but "colourful" overall atmosphere. Electronic and metallic sounds, crude feedback, some mangled speech sounds, loops, etc. Lot of stuff happening, but all the layers are kept clearly audible. The distortion is not an all-consuming wall of buzz but rather the sounds are damaged, blown out and shattered in the way that they're still recognisable. Side four is live stuff. One of the greatest noise records I've heard in a long time. Got not idea how this compares to the tape it was released originally as, but sounds wild and good on vinyl.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Good day of industrial sound:

EINTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN "Fuenf Auf Der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala" LP
Some Bizarre
Good mid 80's stuff from EN. Metal percussion, sound quality, songs that are good overall. I don't like all EN, but the good ones, most definitely!

VIVENZA "realites sevomecaniques" LP
Rotorelielf
First Vivenza what I heard and I got the original LP, but when this reissue came out, I felt somehow tempted to take it, although trying not to be "collector" who hoards different versions of same stuff... It's great LP busy of industrial clatter. Not heavy or bassy or crushing. Quite treble dominated clatter, lots of loops and tape manipulations. Excellent.

S.P.K. "Dokument III0" 6xLP + 3x7" box...
Great stuff, still under process of listening... This will probably take rest of the day, perhaps even more..!

[Levas]

K2 - Concerto Grosso: Hate Piano nice CD from Untergeschoss, dedicated to John Cage. I still have to hear an album of K2 that would be disappointing. Good, dynamic noise

Masokismi - Elaminen Kohti Kuolemaa ultraraw black metal/noise. Good

[martialgodmask]

Not been on much of a noise/PE/industrial trip the last couple of days, instead seeking out some new flavours and giving some old metal/grindcore discs a run-out for a change:

Blown Out - Solar Queen (http://blownout.bandcamp.com/)
Very good psychadelic/space/kraut-style jams, from UK. LP coming on Riot Season I believe, features Mike Vest (Bong) so will likely be above reproach (nothing against Mike, never met him, but there seems to be that feeling in some places) but I really like what I've heard so far.

Napalm Death - Smear Campaign
The last ND album I bought, enjoyed it at the time but going back to it now it doesn't hold a lot for me. Well-written enough, but production is too "big" to do it justice. Not as relevant to modern-day grindcore as they once were.

Napalm Death - Enemy Of The Music Business
Later-mid-period ND, a welcome improvement over the 2-3 albums that preceeded it as they found their teeth again.

[cr]

Over the last couple days:

- Death Squad: Porcelain Fuck Machine
- Death Squad: Radium
- Umpio: Muelas
- Jaakko Vanhala: Feral Earth
- Jaakko Vanhala: Here be lions
- Macronympha: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Puce Mary: Persona
- Ride for Revenge: Dream Inferno
- Whiteswan: Insatiable Lust
- Wertham: Tell me the truth
- Alfarmania/Proiekt Hat: Astral Slaktmask
- Hippycrack/SSRI

I'm always sad about having not more time to consciously listen all those great records I buy - but my work schedule doesn't really allow this. It's of course good to earn the money, so that I can effort the records, but otherwise it's all just a waste of time, one could use to listen to great music/watch an interesting film/read a book. - So what about you? How do you organize and arrange your leisure time? (Maybe a topic worth of it's own?)

[ConcreteMascara]

V/A - The Lost Tapes of Bestial Burst cassette - eclectic material unified by a consistent primitive approach. really dig the S.A.D.O.S. track.

Ride For Revenge - Enter The Gauntlet cassette - going back to King of Snakes level monotony with a more gruesome guitar tone. The Fog is Green and Pungent is an instant classic.

Essential album, apex of their sound for me. I was not 100% thrilled with a couple of recent releases (SADOS split, Below split), but this is definitely a massive return. Great Acapella at the end, too.

Superb album that has gotten many, many plays here!!

I have the same problem: not nearly enough time to listen to the stuff I keep buying. I haven't been able to figure out a solution. I envy those on this forum who seem to have much more time to listen to music or read books than me.

Well, I am lucky that I get to listen to music pretty much all day at work, apart from attending meetings etc (it's an office job).  With headphones I can listen to 5-7 albums a day at work and of late have been listening to artists' entire discographies back to back.  I then probably get to listen to another 2-4 albums of an evening, but my home listening is more 'tailored' when my wife is at home, noting that it will be more ambient/ electronics/ rock stuff, rather than the agressive industrial or metal stuff.  On top of that I spend my time on public transport to/ from work reading books and listening to the music, as well as a bit more reading at home.  Also when I am out being active I have an ipod shuffle going.  All in all most of my waking hours involves music being listened to - sometimes intently, sometime background, but with all the listening I do it means with anything I end up reviewing, I will be listening to it a minimum of 5 times, and more than likely 10+ times.
