LE SYNDICAT "Festing D'acier" LP
hmm... sale speech mentions this is closest to industrial what LS has done.. but should it say closest to techno? I mean, drum machine beats that drive forward, are more common from slower tempe techno music - whatever it would be. But some beats wouldn't be out of place from some thug throwing rhymes over it. If it sounds bad, no worries. Actually this is pretty good. If you do get over the certain type of beats, suddenly there is abundance of physical noise, huge amount of distortion and later days Whitehouse type of fast delay meets sound stretching. Not by any means to be compared to early 80's Le Syndicat, but if they can come up with this stuff in 2009, it makes them much more relevant than many of the old names who have utterly fucked up, what comes to quality.
Beyond some of these French machine noise guys, latest playlist is dominated with Finnish hc/punk. Kaaos/Gadgers 7", Vox Flatus 7" (more humoristic postpunk even with Neubauten/Missing Foundation wibe occasionally), Massacre 7", Massacre split 7", Rattus "rajoitetty ydinsota", Maho Neitsyt "jne" 7", Bastards 7",... I think some of this stuff still not seen re-issues, so luckily the vinyl is in shelves! Have piled up some old finn & us hc-punk ready to go to turntable...
