Yeah, I know about FA obviously, and I buy from him too, but he doesn't stock everything still, or things get sold out while I'm waiting for Mikko to restock other stuff, etc... Anyway, thanks for the input.

VAINOT tape. Some quite obscure project from Finland. Who plays in it? Don't know. Member of Chestburster gave it to me at one gig. Best of the tracks are droning and eerie noise works, but most of songs feel like they could come out if band like LOINEN would team up with obscure side of some Bestial Burst's bands. Repeating bass riffs, slow bounding drums, screaming through extensive delay... Not bad, but it's kind of "jams" what don't give that much to me. If only the few noisiest and most abstract pieces would be put together, it would have been much better.

Another project which perhaps doesn't qualify as proper "noise", is UNGEZIEFER. In some ways you could perhaps classify this under "Black Metal", but as it manages to evade almost any trace of metal, perhaps could be mentioned.
Drums remain subtle minimalist blasting you barely hear below layer of guitar/keyboard/feedback drone and processed vocals. No riffs. It's more about creating multilayered harmonic tonality.  Sound of tape release is not as "hifi" as sample below. It adds neat decayed feel to otherwise quite crisp high pitched sound. I am not sure, but my guess is that this has something to do with SINK or/and JUMALHÄMÄRÄ.

Was re-listening this tape and noticed it is not mentioned among finnish stuff...
KATHARSIS TRANSSI MEDITAATIO tape
Originally 3x tape box self financed by artists in ridiculous edition of merely 8 copies. Another version is C-60 tape on Ikuisuus. Experimental synth works, drone, guitars, percussions,. collecting 4-track tape recordings between 2006-2012 together. More atmospheric music that leans towards kraut experiments, old hippie synth muzak, cosmic psychedelia etc. but nevertheless surprisingly good most of all due charming analogue sound and that it is still very abstract, barely "music".

XXXX "Decay Music" tape
There wasn't much from them. Some live non-action with their minimalist lo-fi electronic noise. This tape has utmost gutter sound, hand made cover. Or lets say, no cover, but small 4x5cm size folded piece of paper where is one printed image, but basically just titles/info typed with typewriter. I mean physically typed to each copy.
Lots of hiss and distant noise rubbish in utterly minimalist form. Below the surface, you start to hear and feel lots of subtle changes. Despite wall of noise, tt's not like VOMIR or such. Not pedal distortion oriented. Something closer to radio static or such primitivism. 3rd track of tape makes giant leap in style and is multi-layered squealing pigs. At first I wasn't so interested in this tape, but returning to it revealed strength. This needs focus. Not background music.

Also returned to Ejaculating Lutwaffe. Review originally posted on playlist, but just to collect Finnish informations to one topics... still think about the same. Maybe Streicher reference ain't exactly accurate.
Ejaculating Luftwaffe "Third Reich Cocaine" tape
Supreme Analog Torture Records
Supposedly 9 songs in c. 7 minutes on this tape, but it really is non-stop noise rubbish. While certainly juvenile humor pasted on top of everything, think about Annihilism era Streicher. Raw, non-effect plagued noise rumble. Nothing neat, nothing fancy, but nevertheless good stuff. Due being limited to mere 13 copies, I guess this is hardly meant for large circulation? Sample online sounds VERY different than the sound on tape.

I'm quite confident that H.Ö.H is continuation of XXXX. The first tapes of XXXX were indeed "decay music" but the split with Half Mile Down sounded a bit like the better Swedish noise projects of the time. After that split no more releases were made and then H.Ö.H appeared. Similar approach as on that HMD split, getting better after each release. Total worship for this project and their way of handling "business"!

does H.O.H is wall ? radio static and primitivism sound very good to me !

Mikko wrote quite fittingly about XXXX which also matches to the first H.Ö.H tape: "It is like wall of noise re-dubbed on shitty tape so many times until only hiss and distant rubbish is present." The band themselves advertised it as lo-fi noise somewhere in lines of Haters / Chop Shop. I wouldn't say it's exactly "wall" noise, just very primitive and stationary sounds. Not really progressing or going anywhere... Just... Decay music!

The releases from 2014 onward are bleak droning noise minimalism, a bit like Blodvite but more stripped down. Just perfect imo.

Thanks for clearing that up... and YES!

Where can I get some XXXX stuff, please? New HÖH tape is indeed great (I love the B side), as well as all the other releases.

Half Mile Down split is very affordable on Discogs and has the best XXXX material (HMD is great as well!). Think of early tapes of Amph as reference... maybe?
