steve scott - "empty orchestra" (1994 twitch records)

this instrumental album is often easily & quickly underestimated. that is, of course, quite the mistake.
13 tracks

xiphoid Dementia - "Wounds Never Heal" (2002 soulworm editions)

ltd.ed. of 50

Ω (clean rip from 2003 in 192 kbps)

*link removed* (i did  a new rip of this cd in 320 kbps, and despite trying a few times, the release bears that oh so familiar 'sticker label sound' which plagues almost all releases which used this method. we all made such a HUGE error in using these labels back then.)

Tourette - "Parmi Les Pierres Éclatées" (2005 Harshnoise)

typically great release from the Harshnoise label. (<--buy tons of KILLER stuff here on the cheap!)
this time its the dynamic harsh noise of tourette, one of his best, imho.
i've always liked tourette, and you're about to see why.
(as if being labeled 'emo-noise' myself wasn't strange enough, it was weird, a year or so later, to see tourette referred to in the same manner.  kinda cool? *shrugs*)

Internal Empty - "the stench of evil beneath my dreams" (2003 alOne productions)

‎'if only', 'lamentation', 'the end of life won't come soon enough', 'wasting my entire life' are all at the very ambient end of the spectrum. the rest of the tracks exist in a space between industrial and harsh noise.

a quite old (and glowing!) review from Ballistic test zine (further evidence that i have always been annoying):

Even if you aren't an experimental noise fan you've probably heard of Twitch because of his appearances on some key compilations such as Machines in the Garden and Escape the Furnace. The Industro/Noise Experiment is an apt title if I ever heard one for an album. Loads of mechanical rumblings, hydraulics, screeches and other noise blasts form a thick wall of sound in this album along with the intensive use of familiar samples such as gun shots, a motorcyle, running water, and a crying infant. "Beneath the Cloak" (incorrectly listed as "The Insane Creatures of My Mind" on Escape the Furnace) is one of the most memorable tracks for crashing serene dark ambient with brutal mechanical noise blasts. The most unbearable part of this tape is when the crazy, freakish, gutteral or wailing vocals deliver indecipherable lines in a few songs. Be ready to fast forward when it hits unless your brain has a high tolerance for punishment. A couple of cool tracks towards the end of this lengthy tape mesh techno programming with harsh noises which helps to elevate this tape above abysmal mediocrity and into "interesting if you can stomach it" status. Not for those easily annoyed because the Industro Noise Experiment is tough to digest.
