la pastilla - "that naive noise / that pretty feedback" (late 90's, self released)






















the work of a man looking for 'beautiful noise' in the late 90's...i wonder if he ever found what he was looking for...
it didn't have a label when i got it, but i think it may have been released on churn tapes at some point.
been meaning to post this since i started this blog, glad i've finally gotten around to it.
side a:
that naive noise
side b:
that pretty feedback

sometimes you get an urge of out of nowhere to listen to something in particular...this is that

*great couple of albums if you can hunt 'em down*

c.p. (christian plumber) - "love without hate" (199late Rodent Rocket Records)


after i decided i was going to upload this..i listened to it MANY times and tried to cut it several times...
in the end, my attempts are flawed...
the last track of side A COULD be 3 tracks...or maybe a part of the previous track. either way, all of the original release is here.  if i screwed up, well whatever, at least its preserved somewhat.

Cornucopia - "disease industry (2001 ataxie disques)

Cornucopia presents somewhat of a dilemma.
in the beginning there was just jorge castro.
he made harsh noise.
and lo, it was good.
then claudio chea joined and cornucopia became more experimental, ambient industrial drone and included found sound. 
here's the problem...
both are wonderful. i know...how terrible.
anyway, here's an early Cornucopia release, a 7" released  in a limited edition of 200 copies in 2001 by ataxie disques.  much love to the C-crew.
enjoy the lovely wash of noise.

tracks:

A1 Disease Industry A (3:01)
A2 El Tercer Cielo (Disease Industry B) (2:12)
B Disease Industry C (5:43)

fear of faith - "blind" (1995 running dog records)

fear of faith took a left turn here...but a VERY good (and VERY interesting) one.
without a proper box to put this in, let me just say, i've never heard anything like it.  another reason why FoF was one of my fave bands.

1. dying for one    4:21
2. blind                 4:57
3. withdrawn         5:26
4. i and those        3:38

from the original post:









fear of faith was so exceedingly awesome...i'm tempted to re-rip some tapes and repost...

i feel like the very lucky duck who got a copy of this particular release (thanks to andy/running dog)
far different from the early speed/death fear of faith stuff and also the later 'more conventional' industry XI stuff...this shit here is great in its own right.  one of the few cases where we find a strange juxtaposition...making for some great ends.
hard as can be...softly...#1.


here's a very old review from ballistic test zine....
"A year after knocking the socks off the metal and industrial underground crowds with their two extreme industrial-metal demos Dredge and Tension, Fear of Faith released their third demo, Blind, with a surprising change in style. Gone are the blazing guitars and hard-hitting percussion, while the harsh, distorted vocals and liberal use of voice samples remain relatively untouched. In comes mostly melodic acoustic guitars, minimal use of electric guitars, and a deliberate vocal attempt to convey a greater range of emotion, albeit still behind a guise of distortion.There are four songs here: the title track "Blind", "Withdrawn", which was featured on the Electro Shock Therapy compilation, "I and Those Who Were", and "Dying for One". The easy-listening, mellower music and the harsher vocals provide a stark contrast, but the band effectively turns them into complementary elements instead of the expected conflict or mismatch. The four songs sound rather alike with similar guitar progressions and vocals but this is hardly a problem as the melodies the guitars emanate are quite nice. The song I like best off Blind is "Dying for One", with its cool industrial underlayer of mechanical pistons and bass rumblings.
On one hand, FoF may have lost some fans of their early material with this relatively tame, metal-free release. On the other hand, their creativity and ability to progress musically beyond the confines of an industrial-speed-metal approach earn them greater respect. As it is, Blind is the most distinctive and accessible of the band's three demos.

fear of faith - "tension" (1994 running dog)

https://www.discogs.com/Fear-Of-Faith-Tension/release/7896844

one of my favorite bands -----ever..... too bad they never got the production values and studio time they definitely deserved...

*the band DID go on (if only for a little while)... it morphed into Eleven and then Industry XI, producing one demo and one full length pro-cd which i carried in my old distro a.i.musick.... it was all quite good i must admit, but a different animal from fear of faith...*
