[Bloated Slutbag]

MNEM - For Delta Relics CD (Kaos Kontrol)
A choir of abandoned machinery and antiquated electronics with just enough voltage left in them to keep going.

Perfect description of the project.

Toshiji Mikawa – Radio Code cd reissue
   Keep in mind, too, that the material is already otherwise released, under the guise of Incapacitants. (Which we have learned more recently via the good graces of the Pariah Tapes boxset). Properly said: Radio Code (1988) is Incapacitants Pallo 1 (1985), tape the 1st on the Project Pallo '85 set, with Side A repping "Jaapsoc" and Side B "Leprosy" and "Manic-Depressive".

I had no idea... where is it stated that Radio Code is in fact a re-issue of Pallo 1? I'm glad you said this as I contemplated buying Radio Code, but looks like I already own it in the Pariah Tapes boxset.

Per the full and overwrought commentary, I'd say you don't (already own it) even if you've got the Pariah Tapes set. Truly, the net recording qualities are drastically removed. I can listen to the one, then the other, several times, and feel no direct overlap. At least as far as texture. But I say this as a maniac too far gone to care. Honestly, I'm infinitely overjoyed to have them both, just to endlessly compare and contrast. Like the sick fuck I am.

Pray for pain.

Solid dynamic harsh noise

Toshiji Mikawa – Radio Code cd reissue

Thank you for the thoughtful review. I was just trying to wrap my head around this one yesterday and you beat me to the review. The "B-side" is certainly brutal with its unrelenting ultra repetitive sample. But the "A-side" is so damn good, it can be forgiven.

Vile Vulgar - "Private Art" (Freak Animal)
One of my favorite new project tapes this year. Harsh and heavy sound, but with well structured dynamics of crashing and dragging objects as well as mutated, gurgling and mangled sounds. Was listening to this one and a Worth tape back and forth, and it was perfect pairing.  

Kakerlak - "Pyrethroid Buzz" (Trash Ritual)
Can't go wrong with Kakerlak. Brutal, dense harsh noise with so much depth and layered textures. Collage is perfect because through it sounds like he's beating scrap metal against a chainlink fence.

One of his best works. "Temporary & Successive Stages" is probably my favorite, and of course the TF/PE release "Crawling to Objectify" was brilliant. As erratic and shifting as Kakerlak material usually is you always feel like its building up to something. Devloper has a similar type of climaxing momentum. Wish either of them would put some new material out.

Bathory - Bathory
In my opinion the best metal album of all the time.

Kakerlak has a new track on the prose nagge  comp that just dropped

Wow, there is a ton of good stuff on that comp. glad you pointed it out I would've missed it.

I remember i had read here Collapsed Hole was about to do a Kakerlak boxset. No details if it was reissues or new material. And i have no idea if this is in the making, postponed, or cancelled.

[collapsedhole]

since it was mentioned here, and several people have asked throughout the past year or so, i'll explain a bit about the endless delay with the kakerlak box....

the kakerlak box is/was to be 3x tape reissues.

the first problem i encountered was i had bought 300 c62s. "hung + abandoned" ended up needing to be a c45 which is just too much missing time to be comfortable with dubbed onto a c62. second issue was "temporary & successive stages" + "crawling to objectify" needed to be a c70... and since the tf/pe cs was cut short, no way was i making the same mistake, and the material surely warrants every minute as intended.
third - i started dubbing "the heat of the hole" + "life in walls" , but the tapes must be defective as they playback at very very low volume, despite the level checking just slightly in the red while recording.

fourth problem was my own stupid, incompetent asshole self. i'm an honest guy so to those that don't know me, i will divulge that i got very carried away with opiates and alcohol. this not only drained what little $ i had, but led to several arrests/jailtime/related issues during which my stuff got fucked with, resulting in a lot of broken/lost equipment, including the tape deck & materials for the art, and my good printer. i still have not fully recovered from that situation since it came to a bad head last year. since i'm out of personal possessions to sell there really isn't a remedy to replace things until tax time when i get $$$ for my kids and disabled wife. i fucked over a bunch of banks so i have no credit cards and can't get any until i pay about 2K$ back. even though i've been sober for over a year now, i'm uneducated, have a criminal record, and live in the middle of nowhere with few employment options, so my meager paycheck goes to keeping the family afloat, its gone days before the next one comes, so when i say i have no money, i mean it literally - i have no money, which is unfortunately needed to do cool things like release noise tapes.

so, there. ideally it will happen when my personal situation stabilizes. i still have the vhs boxes, at least...

[Theodore]

I wish things to improve for you, and when they do we all celebrate it with that box which will be a bomb !

Yes, there are more important things in life than noise. I conclude not many, hah, but staying alive and family, yes they are.

"Insidious and Alone" - Mania

I think that someone above mentioned that Mania evokes a sense of being a blindfolded captive of a serial killer, and after listening to this recording I can clearly see where they are coming from.  However, I also got the sense that this album was intended to capture the internal mental state of a serial killer or extreme hermit.  The combination of junk and generated noise created for me a divide between the world external to the first-person subject of the album, and their own internal state of mind.  The echos and reverberations made by the junk create the atmosphere of a decrepit and isolated hovel, while the lack of depth on the electronically generated noise pushed it to the foreground - as though representative of a mental haze through which one views the world.  This was my first proper listening to a Mania album, and I enjoyed it a lot.  Any recommendations of what to check out next by this project?

"Yellow Trash Bazooka" - The Gerogerigegege

I really liked the noisecore/noise for its general harshness and extremity.  The vocals on this reminded me a bit of Reek of the Unzen Gas Fumes, so I wonder if Reek might have taken some inspiration from The Gerogerigegege.  The only thing that I did not care for was the yelling out of the track titles and the countdown before each song because it disrupted the flow between each piece.  I get that the music is intended to be jarring and fragmented, but that aspect was just not to my taste.  I liked it a lot.

This was the first Mania release I heard and still one of his best, along with Decrepit (highly recommended) and Grim Conditions. However i'm yet to hear 'All Aftermath' and the other two releases which came out this year on total black & the tape with agonal lust.
