Groupe de Recherches Musicales - Musique Concrète (1960) [FLAC/V0]

"Following the emergence of differences within the GRMC Pierre Henry, Philippe Arthuys, and several of their colleagues, resigned in April 1958. Schaeffer created a new collective, called Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) and set about recruiting new members including Luc Ferrari, François-Bernard Mâche, Iannis Xenakis, Bernard Parmegiani, and Mireille Chamass-Kyrou. Later arrived Ivo Malec, Philippe Carson, Romuald Vandelle, Edgardo Canton and Francois Bayle"

This release features a couple of very obscure composers that still measure up, as well as some more known such as Iannis Xenakis and Pierre Schaeffer. Being released 1960, classics like these still far outdo most dark ambient / other modern music made with today's technology in terms of pure atmosphere.

A1 Iannis Xenakis - Diamorphoses
A2 Luc Ferrari - Étude Aux Sons Tendus
A3 Michel Philippot - Ambiance I
B1 Henri Sauguet - Aspects Sentimental
B2 Pierre Schaeffer - Étude Aux Sons Animés
B3 Luc Ferrari - Étude Aux Accidents
B4 Pierre Schaeffer - Étude Aux Allures

Note: This rip was made from a old (obviously) vinyl that was very crackly / poppy, personally I don't alter rips with healing / restoration software, you may do so yourself if you'd like.

Note2: I made a mistake in the tags, I wrote Musique Concréte as album title, it's supposed to be Musique Concrète of course. I noticed it just now as I was listening to it, can't be assed with reuploading for such a mundane fix.

Note3: This is a mono recording, I saw no purpose in keeping the files stereo, hence the small file / archive sizes.

Boris - Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 4 [7"] (2009) [24.96FLAC/FLAC/V0]

Here it is, surprise. Unlike the others this is just one song. Despite being very pop-rockish, mellowing out towards the end, it's actually quite listenable, nothing I'd keep on repeat for too long though. Wata shares her very average singing voice, sorry, she's a great guitarist but I really don't see why so many of the Boris fans want her to do more vocals.

At first I thought this whole 7" series was quite ridiculous, it seemed more like a folly to print expensive exclusive releases without actually much content. Now, I'm actually quite glad they didn't make an album out of these, it would've been a horrible album. Being a series of 7" singles it never really aroused much anticipation or expectation and is therefore a great excuse for being less than stellar. I understand that sometimes you just want to release material without having that perfectionist burden hanging over your shoulders, at least that's how I'd feel. I wouldn't pay 100$ for this on ebay myself, am I really that bad for wanting to listen to it anyway? Perhaps I am.

More post-rock than the previous two volumes. I enjoyed this one more than the horrible vol.2 but this is still nothing fantastic. I was however requested to post the links to all volumes. After being threatened to a lawsuit by southern lord I feel all the more tempted.

Krister Linder - Metropia (2009) [FLAC/V0]

Saw the premiere screening of this movie at Stockholm film festival, where they gave me the soundtrack as a gift. Thought I'd share it as an universal recommendation, not just music-wise. The soundtrack is ambient, sometimes venturing into darker moods, sometimes a little too cheesy for my taste, it's catchy though. Script/story-wise this movie is nothing fantastic, rather hollywoodian. The main enjoyable factor in this movie is the visual atmosphere it creates through it's innovative 2-d animation, how it depicts the bleak dystopian not-so-far-future world. Check it out.

Still - Remains (2005) [FLAC/V0]

Still, former Dälek member's solo album Remains. Still is mostly associated with earlier Dälek days when they embraced a much darker sound, most prominently heard on "Absence". Remains is a album of harsh, dark soundscapes. In a way it's very much what you'd expect from a solo album from Stills, kind of like Absence without the creative influence of the other members, isolated.

Boris - Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 2 [7"] (2009) [FLAC/V0]


The first track of Vol. 2 is actually quite appalling, it tries very hard to become avant-garde or ironic or something and it just turns out to be as bad as it actually is.

Second track doesn't try very hard to be better, but it's a much more subtle experience and a much stronger one as well.

Overall I found it very disappointing, but the second track is listenable. I never really had much expectation on this series at all, but vol.1 at least came off as very catchy. After reading the comments on the first volume, I'm sure there are plenty of you that want to hear this for yourselves though, so here it is.

I admit I did raise some expectations of this being some new drone release as I was listening to the intro, however this punky mix of psych rock, noise rock, bordering on pop at times, is still listenable. Reminiscent of Smile and Pink but with somewhat more detailed songs.

This is volume 1 out of upcoming 4 volumes, which I will probably post too if they turn out to be good.

Karlheinz Stockhausen - Helikopter-Quartett [Arditti String Quartet] (1996) [V0]


Uploaded by request.

Helicopter quartet. A string quartet recorded with each musician in a separate running helicopter mid air, with the noise of the engines and the blades. Not Stockhausen's best but does build up a tension, an anxious atmosphere. Might be a good starting point if you're looking into Stockhausen, it depends on where you're coming from, though I'd anyway recommend Elektronische Musik over this. 

The Youtube clip above is from the film about Helikopter Quartett which I can more heartily recommend. I'm considering uploading an encode of it here later. Stay tuned.

8 Eyed Spy - Live (1981) [320]

One of the very few Lydia Lunch-related projects with actually redeemable qualities, none thanks to her however. It is also said that she hated the band while she was in it. A very short lived story, literally, the bassist George Scott III, probably better known for his efforts in James Chance & The Contortions, died of a heroin overdose the same year as they released this live recording on cassette and the band split up.

The Bear Quartet - 89 (2009) [V2]

The new album of Bear Quartet. It delivers a little of that darker experimental stuff we hear on Eternity Now but it's mostly in a much more accessible pop or rock format which I don't care for much. Anyway Bear Quartet is a band I respect despite releasing albums like these, and I'd listen pretty much anything they'd decide to release anyway.

Karlheinz Stockhausen - Elektronische Musik 1952-60 (1991) [FLAC&v0]

Even if it does feel a bit cliché to post this album I feel a responsibility to do so. Stockhausen was one of the first to create music that can be considered an art of sound. By super-imposing sine waves he managed to construct the sounds themselves from their very basic structure. This is a compilation from some of his work during the years 1952-1960. The somewhat chaotic series of sounds create a rather mellow atmosphere despite their unpredictability and can still be compared to the modern noise music of today. An absolutely must-hear album. Genius or garbage, you decide.

Aluk Todolo - Finsternis (2009) [V2]

Much more obsessive in it's rhythms compared to it's predecessor "Descension" (go to post), keeping the same drum pattern throughout most of the album, making it feel like a ritual that you are taking part in. Starts out with feedbacking dissonant improvisations which almost take on an epic feel at times, works it way to lose form and shape and be crushed by the walls of sound of shrieking amps and distortion pedals by the end of the album.

Aluk Todolo - Descension (2007) [V2]

Neurosis & Jarboe - S/T (2003) [V0]

I just recently saw Neurosis live and it reminded me of this album, and how many Neurosis appreciators are completely ignorant to it's existence. Metalheads who only like Neurosis for their riffs or "brutal" sound will not like this album. People who listen to Neurosis in appreciation for the combination of dissonance and ambient to heavier, crushing even epic sounds, will probably love this album. It revolves around much more synth with drums rather than the guitars, with Jarboe's very dynamic voice giving it a gothic feel. I really can't pidgeonhole this into a genre but it has elements of post-punk, sludge, doom metal or even post-rock.

Fripp & Eno - (No Pussyfooting) (1973, 2008 remaster) [V0]

Uploaded by request.

Robert Fripp, Brian Eno. Two legendary names in development modern avant-garde music. This album has proved to be one of the absolute most influential albums to the development of modern drone and ambient music. It features two tracks, The Heavenly Music Corporation, Swastika Girls and edited versions of those tracks, reversed, half speed etc. This is the 2008 double disc rerelease/remaster featuring even more versions of the tracks on CD2 and has the tracks split up in random parts, I guess the label figured it'd sell more that way. I never really liked Swastika Girls that much but I guess it's a decent loop-experiment for it's time. The Heavenly Music Corporation never seems to fail to take you away though.

Gridlock - Formless (2003) [CD&Vinyl-V0]

Probably Gridlock's most sophisticated album, shows a great deal of maturity yet still contains the distinctiveness of their earlier more straight-forward industrial / rhythmic noise material. Perfectly merging harsh abrasive, indeed formless, rhythms with beautiful ambient soundscapes, this being their last album leans more toward IDM. But in a way IDM feels like an insult to such a mature album like this, just glowing of analog warthm, in difference of the digital clones, who just relish on cheap software, and are otherwise found in the genre. Do not let the word IDM scare you off this fantastic record, this is unlike any other IDM.

What I post here is both the 2xvinyl version and the CD version. The CD version was the one I fell in love with. The differences aren't big. The track order is different. Some tracks are about 10-15 seconds longer on the vinyl, and the last ambient outro track is extended by about 5 minutes. The CD version has these interludes which are missing on the vinyls. I don't reckon either one is the "best" so to speak, the vinyl one feels tighter, while the CD has lower bass and clearer high end.

Throbbing Gristle - The Third Mind Movements (2009) [FLAC&V0]

Here's the new Throbbing Gristle if anyone missed it, was exclusively sold at live performances in US, April 2009. The first five minutes I was slightly sceptic, but I'm definitely not disappointed. This feels great after "The Endless Not", which itself wasn't bad, it just didn't feel TG, it felt Coil-ish. TTMM is more subtly powerful, eerie, creepier and probably better, slightly reminiscent of some of their early stuff. I don't think they could ever outshine their earlier years though and I don't think that's what they're trying to accomplish either.

Instrument Normal - Audible Incarnations of Shapeless Entities (2009) [V2/V0/320/FLAC]

Shameless self-promotion. Instrument Normal is Disexistentsium (me) and Hypochondriosis, and this is our collaboration. We are perhaps most coherently described as noise, with sound manipulation and distortion recurrent through the album, influence from industrial music. Elements of dark ambient can be clearly heard on some tracks. At times with hints of drone doom metal.

AISE is an experiment in extreme expression. Broken undefined soundscapes crafted through destructive processing on sound or body. Self-indulgent with lesser interest in accessibility or existing formulae. An attempt at creation through destruction. Uncompromisable, devoid of hope. Is it music? What is the point of music?

A loud disagreement with "musicality". How could you express anything if you restrict yourself to it? It seems cowardly, or perhaps you're just that uninteresting. I think I've misunderstood what it is to "express your feelings" if it means to play the exact same chords on the guitar the ones that came before played.

Shining - III: Angst - Självdestruktivitetens Emissarie (2002) [V0]

More black metal?

Shining is pretty famous, and even though I try to make a point out of not posting albums everyone already heard I decided to post this one. One of Kvarforth's earlier works released when he was only 19~ years old. While he is extremely notorious for his album "V: Halmstad", extremely acclaimed by fans and critics alike, I almost still prefer this one. I don't think everyone has heard this earlier album. It's more black metal ("Halmstad" actually being doom metal rather than black metal) similar to atmospheric black metal and mid-burzum ("Hvis Lyset Tar Oss", "Filosofem" etc.) through almost ritualistic repetetion, highly distorted guitars which almost only become a soundscape while still having legible melodies and riffs. With screams/growls on top. Simple yet effective production. It almost comes off as minimalistic. It definitely has a glow his other albums lack. In the same way it lacks some of what his later albums offer.

Speaking of Kvarforth as a person, I think he is hilarious. Not in the sense that I am laughing at him, rather I am laughing with him at all the little fuckers who take him seriously. He is the greatest troll ever to have existed.

Vrolok - Resurgence III: Order of the Sphere (2007) [V2]

Okay, about time to actually make a post. Even though this album is so recent it feels very nostalgic to me, giving me flashbacks to teen years when I used to be "into" black metal. Today practically all black metal feels outdated, franchised or otherwise ridiculous. The first black metal bands did something interesting for their time but it quickly grew stagnant. For me Vrolok is something like rediscovering black metal all over, how it was supposed to be today, tortured, dark, dirty. Call it depressive black metal or call it industrial black metal or whatever, Vrolok is the epitome of black metal.

Mental Destruction

Here's a few Mental Destruction uploaded mainly for a friend. They refer to their music as "Orthodox Industrial", their inspiration for lyrics lies in their devotion to Christ. A notable work of theirs which is not posted below is "The Intensity of Darkness" released 1991 on Cold Meat Industry, which my friend already had. It should be available on other blogs if it interests you. With releases dating back to 1990 they were indeed part of the growing early Swedish industrial scene. What is it with christian swedes and death industrial anyway?


Mental Destruction - When Madness Strikes (1995) [V0]
A '95 CD reissue on Cold Meat Industry of their somewhat infamous early '90 cassette.

Mental Destuction - Before the Night (2001) [24/96FLAC&v0]
A 2001 7" LP released on Ant-Zen. This is Side A only.

24/96 FLAC

CoH - Enter Tinnitus (1998) [FLAC&V0]

Shaping sounds with the help of the synth. CoH will remind you of Ryoji Ikeda, yet being surprisingly listenable, at times even catchy. The odd minimal synths, the clicking, popping and bleeping rhythms together become an eerie soundscape.

Piirpauke - Piirpauke (1975) [256]

"Piirpauke is a Finnish band that combines folk music, ethnic and jazz in their music."

I uploaded this for a friend who couldn't find it, I haven't heard it myself yet, so I can't insure you that it's any good. I still thought I'd put it here for anyone else who couldn't find it.
