Lysergic Scum - Combat Strength


What happens when the guy from Cosmonauts Hail Satan and Mutant Turd collaborates with the guy from Ashtray Navigations? There will be feedback. Ignore the guy with the machine gun, some really obtuse phasing and flangers make an appearance about halfway through. Lysergic, indeed.


A CDr released on Voltagestress*r in 2004.

Reptilian Sexual Predator - Vision




Apparently "Reptilian Sexual Predator is an American Power Electronics group". As far as I am aware, it's Joseph and Vanessa Gates (aka Peiiste etc). Whatever the truth of it (and don't forget, we live in a post-truth world so nothing really matters anymore) "Power Electronics" doesn't even come close. This swings from the truly sinister through beat heavy Smell & Quim territory to The Normal on a bad acid trip to a Teutonic P'Orridge finally making good dance music. No, don't run away! It's brilliant!

Get ready to channel your inner demons...

Double C60 released on Human Ignorance in 2012.

Karst / Wapstan - Split


How long it has been since I plastered some noise on these pages! Time to begin anew with some forgotten releases and random obscurities. This one is a split release between Karst aka George Proctor aka Mutant Ape (interested yet?) and Wapstan aka Martin Sasseville aka Grand Nord. The first part is a terrific hurricane of distortion, perhaps a little too granular to be truly HNW but whatever. The second is a much more menacing affair with tonal feedback swells.


A CDr released on Bris Cul in 2008.

Michael Johnsen - Live Electronic Sound Made By the Tuning & Spatial Manipulation of Two Closely Spaced Portable AM Radios Having Loopstick Antennae, the Resulting Signal Undergoing Mild Output Processing, Primarily Filtering & Gating

The title says it all, doesn't it? Pittsburgh's Michael Johnsen makes unstable music that reminds me of Lionel Marchetti, Jerome Noetinger, Jessica Rylan, Gert-Jan Prins, Nautical Almanac, all those artists who stradle the (imaginary) lines between free improvisation and gritty electronic noise. There's something personal and intimate about this spacious bleep, something inviting and warm. "Live Electronic Sound..." was self-released as a 3"CDr in 2007.

Does anybody else here hate the pigeonholing of noise?

Power Electronics vs Noise vs Harsh Noise vs Harsh Noise Wall vs Ambient vs Death Industrial (whatever any of those terms actually mean). Yeah, sometimes I fall into the trap and use them to steer people into a particular direction but ultimately "big deal".

Stefan Widmann is a completely different kettle of Chondrichthyes. The longer the track length, the deeper the exploration.
