Boris - Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 1 [7"] (2009) [24.96FLAC/FLAC/V0]

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.

Printed on purple vinyl.

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.

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?

M.S.B.R. & Iuchi Kengo - One (1998) [256]

"We are finally releasing our long spoken of collaboration between Tokyo’s Koji Tano, AKA M.S.B.R., and Kengo Iuchi. The release features three live duets nested between a solo studio track from each artist.

Tano’s Molten Salt Breeder Reactor opens the disc with the epic Psychic Blue. Excellent harsh noise with strong influences of musique concrète and electro-acoustic. The great production on this 22 minute track makes it so powerful that it is frightening at times.

Kengo Iuchi’s style is the polar opposite to that of M.S.B.R. He describes it as death folk. It incorporates maniacal guitar clanging and insane banter in a style comparable to elements of Keiji Haino or Diamanda Galas in their most demanding moments.

During the collaborative work M.S.B.R. lays low providing spacy electronics with streaks of noise between the insane banter of Kengo Iuchi."

Mars - The Complete Studio Recordings NYC 1977-1978 (2008, flac & mp3)

Back to posting some no wave. Mars is another one of those no wave bands who never actually properly released anything major, in this case just an EP, and we'd need some compilation later on to actually be able to have something to listen to. Even though we love these studio recordings, most no wave bands considered themselves to be live bands, which is possibly why they never really released much studio material, or maybe it's because the capitalist interest in no wave was ZERO, and I guess it's far too late to experience them in their full live glory. This is as close as we get. From parts similar to that of DNA's noise rock to a more purely post-punk sound and even sometimes as far as some weird soundscapes.

Hyped? Yes indeed. Here it is anyway, for all of you who've waited.

Kazumoto Endo - Brick and Mortar (2003)

So yeah, here I am uploading some Kazumoto Endo. I was talking about him so much in the last post I thought it was the only possible course of action. I haven't seen this around on any blogs so that's why I decided to upload this one which is just an EP. But "While You Were Out" is a fucken great album if you'd like to check it out. Kazumoto's noise is explosive, intense as fuck, destructive, yet in moments somewhat upbeat and cheerful, but in a sick, twisted way.

Shitty 224 kbit/s quality, but I haven't found any better.

VA - Nietzsche's Electronic Music (2001, flac)

Normally I wouldn't post something like this, but Nietzsche makes me look so post-modern and existentialist, fuck yeah. Anything featuring Kazumoto Endo must be worth having too. I thought it was gonna be more noisy though, but this is just tracks of glitch / experimental electronica with only a few noisier parts.

I dislike compilations, I do, some forms of compilations are all right, when it's mostly unreleased material by bands who never really released any albums, like DNA on DNA or a Mars compilation (I will post one later). Worst of all are the "best of" compilations though, it's unbelievable how people buy those.

Anyway this album is from Japan dedicated to Nietszche. Since it's a VA and most of these artists are really obscure, the quality is of course unpredictable, but most of them were at least decent. I was expecting more from the Kazumoto Endo one though.

Flux Information Sciences - Private/Public (2001, FLAC & mp3)

TITS!!!!!!

Anyway, if No Wave really was a genre and not restricted to a certain time, I'd definitely call this this a No Wave band. Since this industrial noisy (post-)punk album was released in 2001 it's not, but it certainly gives you that no wave vibe. Cryptic vocals, abrasive outburst, bizzare & schizophrenic soundscapes, while containing a spirit of post-punk.

DNA - A Taste Of DNA (1980) & DNA on DNA (2004)

DNA is one of the best things ever happen to no wave. This particular EP is incredibly short, just about 10 minutes long, this could make it a lot easier to digest for people to typically acquainted with such dissonant music. Sadly this is the only "real" release by the band. The compilation album released in 2004 "DNA on DNA" is great too, and it actually has this EP on it anyway and it lacks this EP's only weakness, the length. So unless you're a wimp who wants some easy listening, just download the compilation album instead.

Instead of playing their instruments in an traditional manner. They set out to make weird sounds and sounding as different as possible.

A taste of DNA

Features the track off No New York and A Taste Of DNA as well as plenty of other good stuff.
