"i started putting this compilation together in 2004 while residing in providence. at that time the climate of noise was rather hi-fi, technological, and cold. This was the start of noise as entertainment rather than entertaining. personal communication became lost. noise becam…
To Noisetherion
Obscure artist from Italy, harsh noise with not so dynamic structures, junk abuse, no space for field recordings or concrete parts. A brutal assault, perfect mix between early Bastard Noise era and 90s Japanese scene.
Gesamtkunstwerk - Dokument 81-86

Switch Hitter / The Machines Of Infinite Joy
The first new material from the legendary Ramleh since 1998 and it doesn't disappoint. Powerful droning intensity, motorik rhythms and warped guitar riffs dominate these two songs with one containing Ramleh's distinctive distorted vocals weaving in and out of this inventive chemistry. "Switch Hitter" could almost be described as a full on dissonant rock track, but Ramleh's desire for experimentation and improvisation lifts it way above the general rock mindset. Ramleh have not lost any of their …
CD box
Abe at his best! Crudely generalising a contrast in free jazz tendencies between AMM/SME/MIC/FMP and AACM/ESP, it's hard to say if Abe's closer to the gentle, bearded intellectualism of some European improvisation, or to the gutsier funk of more US freedom fighters. Up there with the best of both Western sides of the sea, but unlike any one from either, his stroppy, razor-sharpening alto style mixes tousled emotionalism with dogged puzzling, like an amalgam of Anthony Braxton and a sadder, angri…
Distant
Newest Nico Vascellari trio (WW stands for Women in the Woods), an amazing hypnotic industrial soundscapes housed in a beautifully packaged tape box, released in a handful of copies
Gene-P
'Gene P' was released as a cassette in 1980, and among the true Bianchi devotees old = best.On the first track (both tracks are untitled) Bianchi uses tape-loops of what could vaguely sound like gamelan music, or wind chimes. Its music with not many changes, music that is not loud and actually quite pleasing.The other side is more experimental. It uses vinyl, scratchy vinyl that is, with the needle jumping all over the place. Its a bit much experiment for the sake of experiment for me here. A mo…
Vague Maze
Pain Jerk and John Wiese are two titans of noise. Their collaborations are not a new. This is the stunning prologue, the first one, dated 2005. 7 minutes of synthesizers, electronics, noise. This is what a 7inch must be. Fast, violent, harsh. Play it at 45rpm as loud as possible you can. You know you need it. Artwork by John Wiese. Limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies, one time presssing
Commiseration/Blood Temperature Pool
Primitive guitar riffin', synth's drone and effects. Raw beauty and energy in it's primal.
Compound
The cooperative of composer/improvisers John Wiese (Sissy Spacek) and C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) presents in a terrific session recorded in August 26, 2007 at The Compound, San Francisco. The work reveals further unexpected developments and strategies of this ongoing partnership. Familiar machineries were primed, but an increasingly alien attitude was fed through and processed into churning and bewildering shapes.
Limb
Subtitled Minimal Compositions, Instrumentals, and Experiments 1980-1983, J.G. Thirlwell's CD-DVD retrospective casts an entirely new and surprising light on his already diverse and infamous Foetus moniker. Some of these songs are close to being 30 years old, however they share more in common with Thirlwell's Manorexia and Steroid Maximus projects than with anything found on albums like Hole or Nail. Steeped in the theory and aesthetics of modern composition, Limb is a revelatory collection th…
Valediction
The First all new Ramleh album since 1997, and the first new power electronics recordings from the project for 25 years. And yet Valediction is no ordinary “power electronics” record, nor is it anything as straightforward as simply a return to their roots. Valediction is very much an entity of its own – both consolidating and expanding upon everything Ramleh have touched on in the past, but also digging into entirely fresh ground for the band. Valediction is, perhaps, Ramleh’s most bleakly psych…
quicksilver logic / ekati
Finnish artist Tommi Keränen deliver 4 minutes of blasting harsh noise a la Bats In The Attick era. Fierce movements and an insane composition which this time seem even more focused and compressed. Lettera 22 on the other side play a fast and frantic track made by mixer shortcuts, feedbacks and tape saturation. Always in balance between noise and electroacustic with an unique proto-industrial feel.Cut at 45rpm.Edition of 100
Merzphysics
This 10xCD box set composed of previously unreleased recordings from 1993–95, it focuses on pure noise from before the introduction of synthesizers and other electronic instruments. The noise is described as being linked to grindcore, having a sense of speed, and was recorded live to cassette. Merzphysics can be considered to be a sequel to Merzbient, which also features unreleased vintage cassette recordings.As with some of the tracks on Merzbient, the titles are taken from cassette brands: AX…

Fortune
An on going project of prolific artist JOHN WIESE, SISSY SPACEK has taken many forms: intricate collages of the small, quiet, details that trickle through in between “sound”, drums spliced and severed, 18-piece “noise” orchestras, performances that included nothing but the act of shattering glass as source sound to ones that result in broken basses and bleeding throats, etc. On “Fortune,” Wiese has assembled a trio with CHARLIE MUMMA (drums) and CORYDON RONNAU (vocals): crafting twenty-six…
