under midnight - "cybernetic remixes" (1992 wonderland)

this should have been called "cybernetic remix" instead of "cybernetic remixes" because all you get is one remix.
that's right, ONE.  the album version of babylon usa as well as its remix appear on the A side, and both are good tracks, but again, only one is new here.

side B should come with a WARNING.
it seems to have been constructed solely for fans of reading the last page of a book first, or those who frequent moviepooper.com as it adds a mix of snippets from the rest of the tracks from the album.

still. hard to find and the one remix is cool, so here it is.

rebro - "no one gets out of this trip "alive"" (1997)

review from Blatant Propaganda:

Rebro"No One Gets Out of this Trip Alive"
Lots of transient ambient sounds flicker in and out, occasional trip-hop and other beats, acoustic 'world music' percussion, acoustic and bass guitars. Mostly, these are sound-track kind of pieces. Soundtracks to anything you like I s'pose - your daily adventures? A professionally composed and produced album, by far the most polished set of music I've received on cassette for this issue.

The album (which is available on CD) is dedicated to Frank Zappa, Jello Biafra & Jim Morrison, though the music is all instrumental & unlike any that they have produced - to my knowledge. You can download sound samples from the below web-address.

Po box 160746 Miami FL 33116-0746 USA.

Monastery - "Plena Sunt Celestia" (1999 self)

kind of in the same musical territory as fata morgana/mortiis(era1).
its that keys & synths sort of neo-medieval ambient stuff.
i've been enjoying alot of this stuff lately...
maybe its time to finally get back to a hymn for her.

situation taboo - "digitalis" (1997 flying tart records)

[click to enlarge]

old review from ballistic test zine (which i don't necessarily agree with, but here you go):
"Things start off really well with this CD - nice artwork, 12 songs listed. Unfortunately, a closer look at the titles reveals that I've heard three of these songs on previous releases. I pop it into the CD player where more bad news awaits me - it's only 33 minutes long. Let's not judge a book by its cover, though. The opener, "Fear" is a couple minutes of very cool, very dark, ambient material. From track 2 to 11, things fall into a more typical-sounding SitTab vibe. A great writer once described them as "like the Beastie Boys in outer space". Their songs range from laid-back electro-funk to hardcore industrial-rap. The final song, "Step", adds a nice twist with some interesting piano work. Unfortunately, there are only six real songs on this CD; the other six pieces being instrumental fillers. With the exception of "Fear", each consist mostly of looped percussion and/or synths accompanied by a load of samples. And while these are cool enough, I really would've preferred more new songs. If you're a Situation Taboo fan, get this. If you've never heard them before, but want to, this is a good overview. Otherwise, the low quantity of real material here is quite a strong knock against this.

various artists - "ballistic test error" (1997 flaming fish music/ballistic test productions)

considering that the tape tore from the spool & i had to open the plastic casing, cut & reassemble the cassette & then rip, i sincerely hope someone appreciates my effort.  Even more i would love for someone else who has this tape to make their own (alternate) rip. i'd be thrilled to post it here.

old (and quite naive) review from btzine:

---

track listing:
Bonescan - Out of the Grave // Signal Bleed - Unidentified: Specimen 1 // Fester - Leashed // White Trash Inc. - Gun Rack for My Pick-Up (Live) // Weltwasher - Bart's Nightmare // Powerlab - Jerusalem 2000 // Anaphylaxis - Furnace (A Well-Oiled Machine) // Twitch - Blame (Frail Pre-Mix) // Dendrography - Kinderscopic TransfigurationOut on the fringes of the musical universe there is an industrial subgenre known as experimental/noise. Consisting mostly of samples of various machinery, unusual electronic effects, and minimal, heavily distorted vocals, this is industrial music in its purest, most literal form.On this installment of the Ballistic Test series, the listener is treated to a sampling of eight up-and-coming experimental/noise bands. While not as diverse as genre big guns Blackhouse or Mental Destruction, the bands here are impressive nonetheless. Personal favorites include Bonescan's ethereal "Out of the Grave," "Gun Rack For My Pick-up", a live recording by White Trash Inc., and Powerlab's "Jerusalem 2000," which features some interesting chanting. Other notable tracks include Weltwasher's "Bart's Nightmare," which features dance beats and samples from "The Simpsons" TV show, and "Furnace (A Well-Oiled Machine)" by Ananphylaxis, which sounds just like its title.
While this strange sound may not be for everyone, the bands on Ballistic Test Error provide a good starting point for those interested in the experimental/noise sound.
