not sure should it be done at reviews of playlist, but since intent to do short comments, I guess playlist is accurate to comment..
KONTRAST 5x7" box
Toy Bizarre 7" = very nice. It's the artist who have decent releases out, but you never hear anyone mention the name? At some occasions, the blend of relaxing ambient textures bursting into harsher noise makes me think should this be recommended to some who prefer modern days J.Crumer or even such? Is contrast the ongoing musical direction here? Perhaps. It goes from very quiet to loud, from hectic to slow.
MSBR 7" = playful electronics? It has steady backing of warm and playful electronics, and harsh bursts of electronic noise hammered on top. Contrast of volume and sound pressure is hard. It doesn't present MSBR's noise wall. Other side is slowly moving electronic ambient-noise. Which is even less aggressive, yet texturally much more interesting. Length of 7" is great for this. Transitions are done quite often, and many good sounds are happening.
Aube 7" = In the noisy and pretty fierce era of Aube. Some parts of the material ends up in highly distorted electronic damage, while the traditional layered loops and slow modulations of sound are naturally present. Again, I think 7" is favorable format for Aube, since it forces to make compositions more compact. If you'd extend Cleft Tubing to 20 minutes, it would not be the same as it is now in... 5-7 minutes. The climax of the end with roaring bassy loop rising below crude distorted sound works as perfect ending. Possibility to extend moment into 3x longer would have probably ruined it. Flutter Collop starts with high pitched silent test tone type of sound. Vinyl surface noise is pretty extensive when all of sound happens only in the highest of the high frequencies. It takes until 3rd of song is gone, when other things start to happen. Calm yet heavy loops of sound crawl beneath the high pitched sound. It's disturbing song. Very good!
Contagious Orgasm 7" = least noisiest, yet among the best! Highly reverb drenched industrial sounds. No musical form, rather abstract collage of metal screech, loops, voices,.. Knowing this is probably recorded not so distant from C.O. cd on Tesco, it's nearly 100% guarantee of supreme sound!
Schloss Tegal 7" = continues in quite similar atmosphere as CO, but noisier. Clang of strangely vibrating metals, like flutter of to-be-broken analogue tape. Drenched in reverb with extensive layering. Other side with more distant and abstract humming, with overall similar atmosphere. Probably might have listened sides in wrong order in first place, since this seems like it would be building atmosphere heard on other side, but I guess works well this way too. Massive sound of song slowly increases over the side.
Great box - something what isn't done anymore, is it?
