Cool Crap
"Cool crap" is an impressive, highly infectious, catchy and totally twisted electroclash debut album from Judah: cold and analogue minimal electronics plus really toxic and vicious vocal parts!!!

Aérobruitisme Dynamique
There's a growing consensus that the term "guilty pleasure" is an unhelpful one. It holds that we should embrace the music we love, that if we are pure of heart then all our faves should be unproblematic. Should should should. It is not a consensus to which I subscribe.Aérobruitisme Dynamique is an extraordinary piece of music by the French composer Jean-Marc Vivenza. His work sometimes gets classified as industrial, but he sees it as continuation of the bruitisme of Russolo and the futurists. T…
