Blackhouse - "lawnmowerman" (1998 Nowhere arts)

my copy is hand-marked *92/150 artwork made by peter lundstrom and is called "farrah"

the attached painting is lovely, each package different from the next and the art apparently has nothing to do with the music or blackhouse itself.

Jeph Jerman - "instability studies" (2003 Anomalous)

Jeph Jerman (perhaps better known as Hands To) goes at it again.
this one isn't the found sound stuff, you might even call this rhythmic ambient....
or not. its experimental by nature. whatever. i dig it.
if you like older AUBE stuff you will too.

Created from the interaction of ceramic sugar bowls and other objects upon a vibrating "shaketable" apparatus.

Released in an edition of 300 copies with original handmade covers in mixed media.

Circuit Wound - "detriment" (2007 chondritic sound)

track one is a sparse mix of various noises...all of it being a tease.

just when you THINK that track two is going to blast you off into crazy harsh noise (with track 1 serving as an intro) you just get more 'tease'.  This works to GREAT effect because it does eventually explode into ferocious harsh noise, just not when you expected.

this play makes for an ever better listen.  sorry, very sorry, to spoil the surprise.

Fell Venus - "@" (1995 via records)

this album was marketed as a christian industrial album. this is how i came to buy it back in the 90's when it came out.
it is, in fact, neither.  its about as 'industrial' as machines of loving grace, nin, and marilyn manson.  it seems that a ton of stuff came out in the 90's wearing the industrial name which wasn't in fact really industrial.  

tracks 3, 6, 10, 27, 36, and 37 are definitely experimental industrial & ambient (the latter 3 being cd only bonus tracks).  the rest of the album is good rock music with odd vocals, samples, electronic elements and synths, some tracks wearing the 'industrial' label much more comfortably than others.  it is a good one that nobody knows anything about, so please give it a try.

this went out of print AGES ago. aside from a promo cassette with alternate versions of some tracks and remixes this was, sadly, Fell Venus' only release.

btw... track 27 is either an homage to the movie 'true romance' or a declaration of 'i hate this gd movie!' you figure it out :)

Willem deRidder + Crawl Unit - "voice and sound" (1995 povertech industries)

from VITAL WEEKLY:
"WILLEM DE RIDDER & CRAWL UNIT - VOICE & SOUND (7" by Povertech)
The voice of Willem de Ridder could be familiar to you. He once released two stories on CD with a musical intermission by The Hafler Trio. The famous storyteller and radio artist has an awful (but very well cultivated) accent when speaking English ( De Ridder is Dutch). He lets the words come out of his mind and Crawl Unit adds the sound in the background and borrow musical ideas from The Hafler Trio: stretched drones with repetitive sounds over them. Not bad, but I can handle 3 listenings of this at the most."

Mental Destruction - "the intensity of darkness" (1992 Cold Meat Industry)

easily one of my fave bands of all time. can't wait for the follow up to their 1996 album 'straw', which they are working on now.
first cd release from Cold Meat Industry and limited to 2000 copies.
from ballistic test zine:

"... I do know that they have been sold out by the label and the band for a while now, making it an ultra-rare collector's item.
The attraction of MD can be explained by their adherence to being the embodiment of all that is industrial in the purest sense of the word. In a way, they are an old-school noise band, but that description fails to convey that the industrial noise that MD puts out consists of well-constructed, planned percussive blasts, rhythmic machinery, and heavily distorted, harsh vocals. It's like being inside the operations of a steel factory or a construction site where every noise you hear is deliberate rather than random."

Rackets & Drapes - "love letters from hell" (2003 selfreleased)

fourth and final (i think) Rackets and Drapes cd.   this sucker still has that rackets and drapes sound...but a very, very, very different one from the previous releases.  this isn't metal anymore, its some sort of synthy, gothy, dark electro thing.  i have to say, i'm glad that the album went this way...its a very refreshing change for the band.  still, its so different from the older material that its unfair to compare.

DCLXVI - "HARE" (200? Bivouac)

from bivouac:

"DCLXVI creates some of the most extreme noise we have featured on Bivouac. Watch your speaker levels and enjoy.

Description: "DCLXVI is a Montana based experimental/harsh noise/audio/visual project which began in 1998. The project began as a solo vocal only harsh noise project. Since then, DCLXVI has collaborated with many other artists and used many different sound sources to create a unique audio experience. In 2001 DCLXVI also began The Pi Project, which is a collaborative effort to somehow put the code for pi into an audio form using many different interpretations by many different artists. Past DCLXVI releases have included collaborations with Chicago based artist/filmmaker Kristie Alshaibi, photography artist Asya Schween, harsh noise artist Pop Culture Rape Victim and visual artist Fleeky Flanco to name a few. The DCLXVI project continues to expand and evolve providing a very unique and interesting audio and visual experience.

Maim - "blood & breath" (business card cdr 200? SSR

painfully limited to 24 copies on SSR.

get it here, because you can't get it anywhere else.

from WORM GEAR Zine:

This is a Business Card CDR that comes in a sleeve with transparent artwork that has the information printed on it. There are three tracks here, starting with the title track. It is a caustic deluge of saturated heavy frequencies and rumbling low end with some intermittent biting hi's. It's only a little over a minute long, but has some nice shifts in it. "Axe Grinder" is next, also barely over a minute. Again the noise is dense and corrosive, and the track moves well combing the crushing low in with stabs of higher frequency and a nicely handled mix. "Scavenger Tools" closed the disc, again barely over a minute, it is a bit more reserved bringing the rumble to the forefront and surrounding that with some more ambient hums with the biting frequencies are spaced out a bit. This is nice stuff that is reminiscent of something from the Lefthandeddecision and Immaculate:Grotesque school of dense, abrasive noise that is harsh but controlled and crafted, while paying attention to atmosphere and dynamics. This isn't even 4 minutes long, but it feels longer because the tracks do evolve even though they are all quite brief. - Scott

MAIM / PEDESTRIAN DEPOSIT - "split" (2006 iatrogenesis)

incredibly short & sweet c-10 (told you), limited to 100 copies.

the always incredible maim rips through "obersturmbahn frenzy" with some loud and active start stop jump rip cut noise harshness.

the impressive pedestrian deposit continues to play around with the successful juxtaposition of ambient loops and fast & dynamic harsh noise on "lurking behind doors", a fitting title.

great split as each artists track compliments the other without sounding the same.

each artist easily retains their own sounds...and what a brutal, awesome thing it is.

definitely buy up some stuff from both of these artists if you can find it! (which you should have no problem doing)
