Best/Worst Of 2017

[david lloyd jones]

10 new
Sissy Spacek - Slow Move CD Good and heavy.  Concept done well, like deep and genuine.
Sissy Spacek - Rip 4XCS+7" Aesthetic and concept contribute to the evaluation, all great sound, but the whole thing noise rules
Kakerlak - Resembling Actuality CS His noise goes where the best sensation of the sound can go.  Texture surge and caress
Aaron Dilloway / Jim Morrison - Fear Swept The Poolsides CS fun to be confused by an album
Roland Kayn - A Little Electronic Milky Way Of Sound 16XCD I consider the ultimate composer, fuck I'm mad other people will hear this...
The Gerogerigegege - ST 12" sound is shit, but I respect how this is total crap
The Rita - Journey Of The K-Verband (Throat Lure) 7" I like this stuff.
Various - Tokyo Flashback P.S.F. - Psychedelic Speed Freaks 2XCD Greatest gathering of heroes for fallen comrade.
Ryoji Ikeda - Code Name: A to Z 12" military grade tone worship eternity.
Vis A Vis Audio Arts (Well I guess I like the idea of it, how much even exists?  I've taken the bet. Waiting.)

I also would prob like but dont have The Rita - Toe Cleavage box, all those reissues of mainstream Japanese 80's elevator music, I'm sure the new White Poppy album is good, haven't bought much "2017" music this year.

10 reissue
Dendö Marionette - 傀儡電伝 LP Fave area of sound, weird japan 80s.
Gaseneta - ST 7" Hearing EVERY version makes more sense, but this band just has like these 4 songs, god band
Nord - ST 2XCD Obviously.
Poison (Germany) - Hölle Und Vernichtung - Complete Discography '84/'87 5XLP+2XCD True savagery, at least to my ears, ideal characteristics
Atrax Morgue - Early Experiments Of Intense Pathological Sounds 7XCS I hail it for existing.  Proper inserts is appreciated.  Ideal.
Morbid Opera - Collection LP 80s girl goth punk
Mauthausen Orchestra - Anal Perversions LP GOOD COVER version
Knud Viktor - Ambiances / Images 2XLP God style, I copy this forever.  Perfection.
Peppermint Lounge - Perfect High 12" SO fucking glad this got reissued...
Diesel Guitar - box 3XCD still need a copy, I'm cheating

I also would probably love but dont have Merzbow reissues on Menstrual and that Witcyst 4XCD box.. also The Mover - Selected Classics (Remastered 2017) 2XLP, that Fleurety comp, the Genocide Organ set.  I could put Yasuo Sugibayashi LP, but I already have the better CD ver from 2014.  I would want that Emperor box, but I don't understand how to get that, it seems dumb, too many huge boxsets, ok I want it, but can we be done now with these?  Gunner Møller Pedersen ‎– Stoned LP probably rules, Siddeleys ‎demos CD prob rules... lots of reissues.. overwhelming.

the sense of being overwhelmed her is true, whatever your faves are

No idea, I'm far to slow to keep up with new releases but Plus Une Main À Mordre is a sick fucker. Also liked Feberdröm latest releases.

[absurdexposition]

There's a lot I didn't keep up with this year but this is where I ended up:

BIZARRE UPROAR - Sikioasento 2LP (Filth & Violence)
DEATH WORSHIP - Extermination Mass 12" (Nuclear War Now)
THE NAUSEA - Requiem Aeternam CS (Absurd Exposition)
NEANDERTHAL - A History of Violence 12" (Deep Six)
NYOGTHAEBLISZ - Apex Satanist LP (Iron Bonehead)
RIDE FOR REVENGE - Thy Horrendous Yearning LP (Hells Headbangers)
SHIFT - Abandon LP (Unrest)
COSEY FANNI TUTTI - Time To Tell LP Reissue (Conspiracy International)
WEREGOAT - Pestilential Rites of Infernal Fornication LP (Iron Bonehead)
ZOS KIA / COIL - Transparent 2LP Reissue (Cold Spring)

[Tommy Carlsson]

best of 2017

Säkert! -- Däggdjur LP
Kristian Olsson -- Genfärd tape
Tusen År Under Jord -- Sandhavens Genklang LP

Plus I am sure some more stuff that I just haven't had the chance to listen to yet.... Still don't have my copy of Worth's Blinder album, but I'm reasonably confident it would fit on the list. Also the Linekraft CD on Aussaat might be a contender, but I only got it a couple of days ago you know.

While I'm at it, assumably best of 2018

Buck Young LP
Young Hustlers LP
Arbiter tape
Paranoid Time LP
Proiekt Hat long delayed 3LP finally gets a release somehow, after what -- 13 years or something? Ridiculous.

[Goat93]

Proiekt Hat long delayed 3LP finally gets a release somehow, after what -- 13 years or something? Ridiculous.

Who will release it and when?

Whoever does it will be right to do so, that is all I can say.

yeah man, sick and crazy packed shows. Some of my fave as well last year.

[holy ghost]

These lists always boggle my mind, I got a whole batch of tapes that could be contenders in the mail other day. I barely have time to listen to the tapes I bought in 2016....

K2 CD on Oxen is fucking stellar.

       - I would say this was true hypnosis. 45 minutes, maybe an hour long set. I wish it went all night. Fucked up my life for a few weeks from seeing this set.

Worst of 2017:

Noisecore as nothing more than comedy to new jacks.
