Thanks everyone also for the VERNICHTUNG DURCH ARBEIT descriptions, added to the long list of 'to buy'.
I wouldn't add it to very high on such list. Out of F&V catalogue, this release is perhaps among least interesting ones. Of course it could be satisfying to those who seek the exact style it offers, but release is far far away from what it
could be.
Theoretically, there's nothing bad in suffocating & snotty noises and extremely extensive documentary samples and some good ol' WWII photo relics on cover... but there is utter lack of "artistic" creativity in the combination of these two. Sound of noise ain't that powerful, but neither that raw. On top you got the crystal clear document dialogue. It's almost as if you try to watch document from TV but someone listens noise on other side of wall. With just a bit, very very little extra tweeking and creativity, release could have been 10x better. So when F&V catalogue generally is almost exclusively hit, very rarely miss, it's odd choise to put out as CD. For example in case of RAPE releases, F&V would get involved into tweaking sound to desired level of rawness. This release would have probably benefitted from same treatment.
As comparison, for example, listening
NYRKKI & KYRPÄ from CD, fuck, what a great compilation! It was good as tape, but could be even better as CD. This modern style F&V color scale adds little bit more kyrpä to the sleazy and tasty graphic look. Sound pressure and great contributions demands instant replays. Too bad some of the bands have already ceased to exists... I think?
