Adam Tied To Stone
If there's one person I revere when talking about noise it's Dominick Fernow, better known to the shadowy corners of the noise world as Prurient. There's something about his approach to the sound which for me puts him at the top of the tree, forcing music that could easily be simple, throwaway distorted jams into so much more. His last full length album proper 'Pleasure Ground' cemented this for me as Fernow buried layer upon layer of woozy synthesizer melody beneath his token screams and distor…
Steel Night 29.11.01
"As a surprise on the night, and impressed with the line-up, Douglas P of DEATH IN JUNE approached and asked if he could open the show with an acoustic set. All four acts were digitally recorded by Stephen Meixner (CONTRASTATE). For this set, each CD is packaged in its own card wallet, in its own camouflage, inside a shrinkwrapped `clamshell` style box. The set is made complete with a foldout poster of images all the bands that played this STEEL NIGHT."Limited edition four-disc box set of…
Compuesto De Hierro
"The rhythms, hypnotic and very elaborated, are combined with mastery with lots of manipulated voices, analogical electronic sounds, and oriental (mostly Chinese) music recordings." lable press
Bagirwa Hymn
Two dense obscure messes, from one of the most sacred and funeral masters of the new mystics. A tribal funeral ode. This is great material from Burial Hex - alot more subtle and mature than his early material. Two side-long pieces of rather melodic ambient that turns more and more industrial as the pieces progress. Sometimes the changes are abrupt, sometimes more gradual, but always with nice detail. Ltd x 300 copies with a full-size insert.
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.
Condensed Death
RESTOCKED amazing 7": a wall of sound, predominantly on some 'obscure' and distorted machines, creating a terror noise music, originating from metal, a conceptual and extreme musical journey.
Machofucker
Formed in 1989 by Richard Ramirez, Black Leather Jesus has become Texas (and one of the United States) best known harsh noise groups around. Sadomasochism, gay porn, and depraved topics are themes seen in their works over the years. Best known for their work in the underground tape culture, BLJ continue with their perverse sound. The group also consists of members of T.E.F., In the Land of Archers, Respirator, and others. As usual the LP comes in a deluxe silver silkscreen on black cardboard sle…

Circle X
Formed 1978 in New York, Circle X was born out of the ashes of No Fun and the I-Holes as Louisville’s first punk rock band. Once the lineup of Circle X solidified, the formerly-punk band lunged headfirst into weirder, artier territory. Whether the big city’s burgeoning No Wave scene influenced Circle X or they influenced the scene is unclear; what is clear, though, is that Circle X was the most unique, most mysterious, and most un-heralded band hailing from that place and time.In France for nine…

Fini!
Introducing the debut collaborative release from sometime Nurse With Wound/Current 93 member, Andrew Liles and Jean Hervé Peron of Faust. Neither of these artists needs any introduction and all expectations are overtaken with this incredible album. Here is something that sounds like both a Krautrock album and also like nothing else you can imagine. Its twists and turns keep surprising and thrilling you several listens on from the first. The words "classic" and "masterpiece" would not be out of p…
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…
Sissy Spacek
Just arrived, stellar release as usual! FIRST EDITION ON VINYL!!! In 1999 SISSY SPACEK made their first recordings as a more or less "conventional" blur/grindcore duo consisting of CORYDON RONNAU (vocals) and JOHN WIESE (bass and drum machine). Shortly after, the band entered a recycling period in which Wiese produced a number of albums and EPs, the first of which was this s/t CD (originally released on Helicopter), transforming their original source material into hardcore musique conc…

Always Wrong
f you're wondering whether record labels still matter, consider the case of Wolf Eyes. Their last two widely distributed albums, 2004's Burned Mind and 2006's Human Animal, came out on Sub Pop and got lots of media attention, even landing the band on the cover of The Wire. Three years later, Wolf Eyes return with Always Wrong, a follow-up of sorts after reams of smaller-run releases. It came out on Hospital in May, and I can't find a single review beyond a few blog entries and tweets. Even The W…
