after RABID EYE MOVEMENT became MAIM....the first maim cd came about...and a pretty good introduction imho.
HAIRLINE FRACTURE
harsh noise concepty goody hoobity hoo
my poor record keeping and failing memory keeps me unsure of the release date of this thing, but it was 01/02 somewhere in there, i think. pretty darn hard to find now days so it seems.

i know people crave the maim and who knows where jonas has been for the last couple of years...his stuff isn't as easy to find as many would like...so....enjoy. there's nothing quite like the first time...

1.fissure : the surface of reality
2.hairline fracture 1 : lesions on glass
3.hairline fracture 2 : separation of matter from time
4.cracks begin to appear : gaining momentum
5.breach : opening the mouth

masonna - "shock rock" (2002 midi creative / noble)



31 untitled tracks, which is pretty normal for masonna.
this album was supposed to be a bit of a 'return to form' for masonna, going
back to his erm...more "raw", "lo-fi" recordings of the "old days".
you know what to expect.


T.E.F. - "Saturn Ring Plane Hazard" (Xerxes)

ltd.ed.75cdr
t.e.f. is among the best harsh noise composers out there.
it should be no surprise then, that the compositions on this cdr are killer.

Fallen - "a tragedy's bitter end" (2004 Aftermath)

another great cd with less than stellar artwork. excellent atypical funeral doom from norway with deep droning gothy vocals and orchestral elements.

...and review from The Metal Crypt: (http://www.metalcrypt.com)

"This was a surprise. I got this with the latest Runemagick in the promo envelope from Aftermath, and I was like "hmm", because normally Funeral Doom is not really my thing, but I was just blown away by this release. Fallen are from Norway, and they have apparently been around for a while, but this is their debut. And I have never heard a better release in this genre. This album once again points up the idiocy of doing top ten lists every year. If I had heard this, it would have been on there easily for last year.

The major gripe that I and others level at badly done Doom is that it's boring. "Slow" replaces "Epic", and rather than melancholic music, you get somnolent. Well this is veeeeerrry slow music, but it is nothing short of captivating. From the first sweeping chord of the magnificent opener "Gravdans" I was just caught up in this, and I could not stop listening to it. Huge, booming riffs backed by beautiful orchestral keys create a beautiful, compelling soundscape that rises to towering heights of keen despair. There is nothing uptempo, happy, or accessible about any of this, and yet I was caught from the first note. The vocals are a pleasant surprise, as they are not harsh but a low, deep clean voice that is less singing than intoning the lyrics. The vocals actually sound a bit like Big Boss of Root held to a low moan. It's very distinctive, and very cool, and it adds a whole other dimension to already excellent music.

If you like Funeral Doom or depressive music like Agalloch, then you have to have this, as it is just the best album of its kind I have ever heard. A huge, involving, sweeping work that is never anything but bleak, and is too beautiful to stop listening to. Being on a small label, I doubt many people will get the chance to hear this, but they should. A magnificent album."

Crashdog - "The Pursuit of Happiness" (1992 Grr/Word!/Ocean records)



one of those releases that i bought twice(cass. & cd)... i bought the cassette and for many years i kinda liked parts of it, but i don't think i really 'got' the aesthetic. with time, and after seeing them live...where there was an electrocution on stage, plenty of following tech problems, prayer circles and false re-starts, it began to sink in a bit more.*BACK WHEN SPIKE NARD WAS THE VOCALIST* some 17 years later i'm quite comfortable saying that this album totally rocks. Many of their albums (this is their 3rd) are relatively easy to find with the internet, but this one...not so much. its good though. grab it.
