Merzbow - Akasha Gulva

Long out of print Merzbow release for Alien8. One seventy-four minute live track. Long, harsh and pretty cool. Generally thought of as one of his better releases. Also hello to you all, I'm new here.

Internal Empty - Peril, disgrace, and enlightenment

Latest release from our friend Internal Empty. It's harsh noise/wall noise but that repetitive and simplistic as some other bands I could mention (ahem :P). Anyway, two long songs with a lot of interesting layers of sound mixed with some extreme metal loops(?). Enjoy!

Tracklist:

01. Peril (30:06)
02. Disgrace & Enlightenment (48:18)

Part 1
Part 2

Zbigniew Karkowski - Consciously Unconscious Unconsciously Conscious

Some more minimalist music. This one is not so organized as in the previous post but it's also very interesting to listen. The sound is not so loud so you might want to raise the volume up a bit to hear everything in the track. :D

Tracklist:

01. Consciously Unconscious Unconsciously Conscious (19:45)

Cyclo. (Ryoji Ikeda and Carsten Nicola) - Cyclo

Very interesting release composed from mostly short static hiss and glitch electronics.

Tracklist:

1. C0 (1:25)
2. C1 (5:26)
3. C2 (5:26)
4. C3 (1:09)

Astro - Astral Orange Sunshine

Track 1 was recorded at Astral Orange Echo Studio on August 2004.
Track 2 was recorded live at Tokyo Keizai University on January 2007.
Track 3 was recorded live at Yahiro Highti on July 2006.

In case you didn't know Astro is a side project of Hiroshi Hasegawa who also plays in C.C.C.C.. The sound between these two bands are in some points similar (long tracks, phasers etc.) but Astro is much more quieter and calmer then C.C.C.C.

Tracklist:

01. Incubation (29:57)
02. Still Water (11:18)

Double Leopards / Mouthus - Tour Split LP

Someone asked for Mouthus splits in the comments so I finally I uploaded the one I have. I hope you'll like it. :P

Double Leopards here play some kind of eerie noisy ambient I really enjoy this track it really delivers that atmosphere, lo-fi quality also enhances this feeling. Mouthus is some kind of improvisation I guess with drums and everything don't know how to explain it really. :D


Tracklist:

Side A Double Leopards Untitled (13:00)
Side B Mouthus Growing Up The Giants (13:00)

Matt Henshaw - 320 & Hollow Stone Space

Quite good music from Matt Henshaw. His works are varied he does lots of different genres but he suggested these two releases for me to post here. The first one is called 320 which is an field recording. Judging from the cover photo I guess the field where it was recorded looked very nice. It's just one long song with lots of different sounds of mostly clicking and drumming with delay effects.

The other release is called Hollow Stone Space which is entirely different from 320. This one is guitar driven noise (or so it sounds) and later edited with programs.

320

01. 320 (23:07)

Prurient - Cocaine Death

Cocaine Death is a compilation of three of Prurient's finest Hospital cassette releases as well as two unreleased tracks. The previously released material forms a triptych exploring the relationship between futile pleasure, substance and escape; escape being a myth. This collection of cassette material is perhaps the biggest clue in the development of Prurient. This is where the edges blur and advancements reveal themselves. When Prurient material is released in the ether its shock-waves often take on a life of their own. For the first time, listeners of all levels can revel in their abstract longing and tension. For the diehards, two unreleased tracks of Prurient. There's a reason why these releases continue to live on long after the cassettes disappear. This CD shows the power and depth of Prurient in the cassette world. For those whose spindles still spin and those who have moved on, Cocaine Death shows revelation. Digipack CD with 16 page booklet.

Fuck, the Retarded Girl - Abuse

Quite lovely harsh noise I received a few days ago from the Hoarse label. It's limited to 20 copies and already sold out I'm afraid so you can only download it (unless it gets reprinted or something). The only bad side is that it's too short. Also, great name.

Tracklist:

01. L'auréole de Merde (7:46)
02. Asphyxiophilia (7:02)
03. Ritualised (2:17)
04. Unrepentant (4:13)

Karjalan Sissit - Karjalasta Kajahtaa

[Sweden / 2004 / Cyclic Law / lim.1000]

"3rd full lenght from Markus Pesonen who now dove deeper into total Melancholy, Anti socialism, Bitterness, Disintegration and Alcoholism. Filled with what has defined KARJALAN SISSIT's sound thus far; Bombastic outbursts of Neo classical arrangements entwined in traditional Finnish Humppa and deep industrial sonorities. The songs were this time fiercly enhanced with some added vocals giving the whole album a much more agressive touch. Again produced by Peter Bjärgö at Erebus Odora, this new album definitely stands above it's predecessors."

1 Heili Karjalasta (2:48)
2 Sika Seta (3:16)
3 Kunnia Isanmaa (5:43)

Marblebog - Wind of Moors

[Hungary / 2005 / Tanhu Records / lim.500]

Amazing release by this hungarian band, the interesting thing about this band is that they usually play black metal, and even thought their black metal is excellent, the ambient work they do is simply out of this world; Simple trance inducing sounds with meditative rythms make this a work of pure transcendence. I cannot recommend this enough!!!!

Waves of Inner Seas 13:03

Kurotokage - Call To The Deep

[France / 2002 / Fluttering Dragon]

Amazing release from this mysterious French artist. this project is actually a homage to the japanese horror novelist Rampo Edogawa, and it's just some of the dark ambience around, all with a hint of eastern folk to make it truly unique; this is a perfect soundtrack to any of those atmospheric japanese horrors. Released by the very underrated Fluttering Dragon. Highly recommended!!!
