Lovebrrd & Italics - split volume – 2 (3" CD-R)


 I love listening to split mini CD-R`s!  it serves as a good introduction for unknown bands \ projects \ collabs \ artist. And if you send this by old snail mail it`s usually dirt cheap too. We open things up with:

Lovebrrd - tect (9.30 minutes),:  it begins with some type of tribal electronic beat, which slowly becomes noisier and noisier. Good stuff. Definitely not recommended with headphones on folks. We now end this split with Italics – foil vs scimitar (9.48 minutes):  this is gloomy, doomy, claustrophobic, apocalyptic experimental noise works. An aural nightmare indeed. This is definitely not for the pop music fan out there. Painstakingly wrecking, a noisy masterpiece.

Extreme Chafing - Sand In My Crack (3" CD-R)


Extreme Chafing is the solo project of one Joe Stache (Hoggle, Pig Shrapel, Dungeon Attire). There`s one track on this mini CDR;  recorded 19-08-2012. EC delivers a 14 minute piece of blistering, relentless, unforgiving wall of noise mixed with some high pitched distortion works. Damned, my ears are bleeding again. Are you talking to me? You talking to me? I`m talking by myself here and no one`s listening. Extreme times calls for extreme noise. Indeed. Have a beer the end is near. Limited edition of 24 copies.

Zone Tripper & False Flag – split (cassette)


A split tape with Justin Marc Lloyd`s `False Flag` (power electronics)  and  Florida  \ Philadelphia  (  Sikora and Hal Harmon) science-fiction noise duo `Zone Tripper`. Each project records one track. This is a rather short tape, 16 minutes long.  And what does it sounds like? Here goes:
1- Zone Tripper – you have the right to remain silent (8.38 minutes): modulating, evolving experimental noise with some growling near the end. I think I need some Tylenol.

2- False Flag – police, child, child, child (7.24 minutes); grating \ grinding noise , screams, cutups and various demented insanities running in the background. I think I need more Tylenol. Limited edition of  God knows how many copies. Contact them for availability:  http://foreverescapingboredom.bandcamp.com/album/zone-tripper-false-flag-split-c18

Nexus Monkey – the negative effects of listening (CD-R)


This is a new Florida collaboration \ duo from the minds behind `Vasectomy Party`(harsh noise solo artist) and the `Black Beast Of Arrrghhh`(noise \ experimental noise). There`s one track on this here CD but it`s a long one indeed (+ 30 minutes). Raw noisy dirges mixed with some minimally dark and spacey synth running in the background. I`m getting squashed by a  gigantic wall of noise, while at the same time some spacey synth is slowly, but surely puncturing what`s left of me poor brains. I love this!!! Good stuff indeed. Give me some more. I want it, I want it, I want it!!!  Limited edition of twenty copies. This baby`s long gone for sure, sorry about your damn luck..

Forecast & Toxic Bliss (split tape)


I recently got my filthy hands on this rare, highly limited edition 25 copies cassette. This tape has two  sidelong tracks. Lets start with: `Forecast` which is the minimalist, natural disaster themed project of Sisto Rossi ( of Houses In Texas, Wallkeeper and Hatred). The track `stormclouds` (8.22 minutes)  sounds like a thunderstorm  recorded at full volume. He then `normalized` the track to make it even louder than before. It sounds like harsh noise with acoustic \ almost analogue undertones, brilliant stuff. Last but not least we have `Toxic Bliss`, a noise wall onslaught of Mitchell Rotunno (of Tjere and Untitled Productions).  The tracks name is `untitled`(11.29 minutes). It starts nice and  slow with some relaxing ambient noise , then it becomes louder and louder, harsher and harsher, damned my poor ears. Relentless harsh noise. This is not my cup of tea. It`s not bad, don`t get me wrong. But I heard soooo much noise which sounds the same. I like some variety in me noise menu. I recommend this if  you like old Merzbow,  MSBR, The Haters, GX Jupitter-Larsen, Con-Dom, and Sonic Disorder. More info here:  http://foreverescapingboredom.bandcamp.com/album/forecast-toxic-bliss-split-3

Breakdancing Ronald Reagan & Whitey Alabastard (split tape)


This is a short tape (under twenty minutes)  with a limited edition of 36 copies (it`s probably sold out as we speak). On side one we have `Breakdancing Ronald Reagan - he though everything was people`  (9.42 minutes).  It`s experimental noise with lots of fluctuating moments (orchestral electronic music, noise, spoken word, ambient noise, and lo-fi noise).  You never get bored because there`s always something moving, evolving, mutating, happening. This isn`t your typical harsh, repetitive redundant noise. Great stuff. I have to find some more. Next, we have `Whitey Alabastard  - I don`t like it `(9.47 minutes). This track offers a potent mix of ambient, almost lo- fi noise and weirdo experimental noise. The perfect soundtrack to gory, vile, violent, deranged, crazy,  post-apocalyptic movie. Hey, I would produce it (if I had cash).
