Here’s a very limited coloured vinyl thing by Cicciolina Holocaust. There’s one of those photocopied pictures on the front where I’m pretty sure I don’t want to look at it for long enough to figure out what’s going on, much like Urashima seem to specialise in - it looks like some people are doing something very bad to another person. The tracks here originally came out on cassette in 1984 and have been remastered for this release.
It’s dark industrial droney harsh noise type stuff, varying from an uneasy layered hum to full-on crackly blown out nastiness, but either way it’s clear from the beginning that this is not supposed to be an easy ride. I can't tell if it's supposed to play at 33 or 45 (my guess is 45) and after a few minutes it’s making me feel genuinely a little bit queasy. It should go without saying that this is not for everyone, in fact it's barely for anyone at all, but it's a numbered edition of 150 so only the quickest of harsh noise fanatics will be able to get their mitts on this socially alienating audio nasty.
Recorded 1980-1984, Firenze (Italy). Previously released as private cassette. Digitally remastered directly from analogue tapes.
First edition 150 numbered copies, coloured vinyl, xeroxed insert (genuine old yellowed east-Berlin Volkspolizei paper), housed in stickered plastic sleeve.
