Some recent stuff that came out, would be for example:
KARTIO "Liskoaivo" tape
Neko release with 60 min full tape of modular synth noise. It is the zip zap blib blob kind of thing, but with that type of stuff, when recorded with decent sound, perhaps even merely dubbed on tape, and suddenly it starts to became good. Kartio former release on Satatuhatta was very nice and if you liked that, you'll like this.
IMPAKT "Burnout" CD
Stinkfinger + Umpio = Impakt! I would assume Finns and people know what this is, if you combine these two fellows. If you have no idea, I would think that if 1994 Ramirez solo noise would be source for John Wiese collab, results could be surprisingly close? Very good CD that mixes in hard blunt noise and advanced modulations and digital tech.
MASKHEAD "A Taste of shiny fetish" CD EP
about 20 mins length harsh noise, could be best or among best Maskhead? Beginning sounds a bit like Harsh Ways live material was, but added filtering / electronic start to appear. Listened few times thinking that IF he'd doubt this loud on tape, could be better, but question is, would it become too much similar to approach others have had? Keeping it totally brutally "as is" may have its benefits in long run.
THE NEW BOYFRIENDS "Universal Noise" CD
Starts with such a thunder sound, if you turned volume too loud, it'll surely striking surprise, hah.. Some more almost "Hands To" -moments of carving more quiet natural sounds, but no worries, the gentlemen will turn it all in max during the disc. It must be the most carefully crafted "album noise" by TNB, and not in negative way by any means!
TOUCH STARVED / BIOFILM split tape
more of arkinoise category where no complaints, but also this is more like Tuesday afternoon noise, that is rotten and simple and works just fine, but for weekend you'll be looking something like...:
MOGAO "Hidden God" CD
Arkinoise from very top shelf level. He is offering 3 songs, that are basically mic'ed amp, and loud harsh noise blasting from it. Just good stuff I listened couple times instantly, just thinking got to listen more. It has a lot of things going on, neat sound, but still remains harsh noise, not like audio fireworks trying to display all the tricks artists has.
STINKFINGER "Secret and inward ejaculations of the heart" CD
I was thinking Ramirez 90's recordings where he appears to have like distortion pedal and delay... and very little besides that. You'd be hearing delay pedal being fingered in frenzy and always harsh, always focused on very clear and solid elements. Always going on, but the spectrum of sound is what it is for entire duration of each song. Like Mogao, this is very good CD for lovers of harsh noise and if you were familiar with Unclean, there isn't anything like that on this album. All harsh!
