[CODE/NEDA] - Tomorrow Double The Body Count. cassette, Unrest Productions. I bought this after I heard the YouTube preview on Facebook. For some reason I like playing it in the evening a lot. It's not like a lot of the simmering slow stuff I hear, sounds a haunted and ominous. The more I play it, the more I bond with it. I definitely want to get The Death of Neda. Really builds up brilliantly as it progresses.
Very good tape. Only thing it suffers, may be the quite abundance of solid heavy electronics releases done during recent years. It doesn't make this less great, yet excitement was somehow bigger when this good releases were rarely done. Still, I'd say that some of industrial labels should look example of Unrest who pulls out these quite unheard projects to make releases that crush most of the veterans...
SMELL & QUIM "Your Enemy's Balls" CDRed Stream
What is quite rarely done, is albums like this. First of all, by label who profiled mostly on metal. Even S&Q didn't manage to be this good so often. First couple albums solid. They are darker than this. This is funny, yet musically innovative and unsual. There are few noise tracks and sort of retarded "PE", but most stuff could be lumped together with some NWW type odd sound collages. Just with extra dosage of perverse humor, like naming tracks "Honey I butt-fucked a pig".
HALO "Guattari" CDRelapse
It's been ages since I listened to Halo. Out of some of these slow and heavy bands, bordering music and experimental, Halo seems to stand out in test of time.
BLACKHOUSE "Five Minutes after I die" tapeLadd-Frith
I recall man saying that in scene where "everything goes" and nothing is too vile, when band expresses christian faith, people get agitated. Perhaps this was in the 80's. Now pissing off people barely requires bold crusaders. This is probably favorite of Blackhouse releases. One long more experimental piece on a-side, intense, noisy and energetic beat oriented tracks on other side.
LE SYNDICAT FACTION VIVANTE "The cph sessions" tapeBacteria Field
another very good session from the live electronic duo. I feel repeating myself, but must conclude dubbing on tape added good extra spice to this. Material itself, very vivid and lively sound-collage/cut up in live situation. Even the typical kaos-pad type things work out for me with this project.
THE FORTIETH DAY "Pelusium 540 AD" tapeCipher
Perhaps my least liked tape of the project. Several tapes been listened during recent months. Not bad, but less good than some of the other tapes. It took years to really appreciate this project.
SCREWTAPE "Day of hell" tapeNearly ten years old tape, starting ultra monotonic HWN, but going further to more active and "experimental" side too. Not his best, but good to listen to.
MACRONYMPHA "Heavy Weird" tapeMother Savage
Includes live material and assorted clips from 1992-3. Live material pretty good, other stuff hit & miss. Seems like misc recordings and left overs where just assembled on C-90, which is very far from the best Macronympha works that have utmost care on crafting the sound, not just ... heavy weird stuff.
MACRONYMPHA "Naked Denunciation of infrasonic exchange" tapeMother Savage
Vastly better tape than Heavy weird. This is the mid 90's, and its heavy, brutal, yet always tasty and interesting sounds!
A.M.B. "Autotoxic Mental Bizarrerie" tape1995 Japanese noise from the gutter. Handmade package with aluminium foil wrapped over tape box. This has kind of same feel as MO*TE, that unlike many famous Japanese noise artists of the time, there is no hi-fi sound. It's muddy, hand made, slightly clumsy... yet has its own aura to it. Stuff that back then didn't necessarily appeal to me as strong as the ripping power of infamous projects... but now, couple decades later the handmade rugged harsh noise may crush.. especially the overt digitalia of later era of harsh noise.
