David Payne - Real Too Real
Amniotic field recordings.
Another C30 courtesy of MJC in 2011 that also came in an edition of 13 ... it's the magic number.

David Payne - Real 2 Real 2
Welcome to the genius sound of somebody overhearing Eugene Chadbourne playing backwards and repeatedly falling downstairs whilst chanelling Curly, Larry and Moe.
A C30 released on the exemplary Middle James Co. in 2011 in an edition of 13. You are not worthy and neither am I, but that's a separate issue.

Telepherique / Contagious Orgasm / MSBR - Contact #1
A track from each and a track where one collaborates with one of the others ... the only thing missing is all three of them together.
LP jointly released on their own Drahtfunk-Products, MSBR Records and SSSM labels in 1996.

I love Boris. I really really love Boris.
Just to be clear, I don't mean the utter fucking charlatan fronting up the right wing coup in my country.
Now we are clear on that, there is no point in me describing them in a few words. They tick boxes I never knew I had. I've been lucky enough to see them a few times and it's always a revelation. This is the core trio and boy oh boy. If this doesn't work for you then turn around and accept the fact that there is no point anymore.
DVD released on the excellent Diwphalanx Records in 2003. It's in two parts so you need to extract to the same folder. If you can't figure that out, don't ask ... I'm already drunk!

You know we don't do reviews. Sometimes we use random combinations of words if we think people might not know those involved (or we just feel like it). We are only here to post things that we really like. We like Telepherique and Akihiro Shimizu a lot and they collaborate on this great tape. End of message.

Tusco Terror / Druids Of Huge - Terror Tapes Vol. 41
Two sides of effect pedal, knob twiddling and micro-fi noise rock noise collapse captured in front of some people who appreciate it for a bit and then have a bit of a chat.
C30 released on the brilliant Middle James Co in 2008 in an edition of 33. Irrelevantly un-MP3.

Telepherique & K2 - Wolkenphänomen
At their core, Telepherique are Klaus Jochim, Danijela Jochim & Rene Jochim although it evolved into a carousel of people dropping in and out as the projects required. This is a really great collaboration with our favourite cancer pathologist Kimihide Kusafuka.
CD released on Old Europa Cafe in 2000.

Andrew Coltrane / Lidless Eye - Split
Brief warped electronics.
It's nearly a C10 and it was released on Green Records And Tapes in 2013 in an edition of 26. It's not MP3.

Telepherique & One Dark Eye - Body Shop
A lovely set of textured clatter that is apparently the "sound collaboration documenting the life cycle of an automobile". It's one of those recordings where if you are in the right frame of mind you can zone in and find some real headspace. This is Joe Roemer and Klaus Jochim. I have a lot of Klaus's work and have meant to post things for a long time ... maybe this is the point where I remember not to forget to remember.
A CDr released on Solipsism in 1997.

1%er - Heldin Chambers
It's Andrew Coltrane and Knox Mitchell again and it's sublime. Again. Obviously. There are two versions of this, the other is a C90 that presumably has all of the things here (there is a caveat because I haven't heard that one).
A four C20 tapeset realeased on Green Records And Tapes in 2011 in an edition of seven.

One Dark Eye - Transmissions Of Fistulae Auris

One Dark Eye - Brave New World
In happier times, One Dark Eye was a side project of Macronympha but, then you know, they apparently had "differences". It's only my view from thousands of miles away without having any actual knowledge of it (yeah, it's never stopped me before ... I was just going to make that point ... thanks for getting there first. None taken) but when the MSNP reissues started hitting the message boards about 10 years ago (?) I took that to be Joe's doing and I'm pretty sure that the new Macro and related is the work of Joe. I also think that I know what I am talking about and that I am a handsome devil.
C48 released on Detachment Programs in 2019 in an edition of 69.

Lidless Eye - Septic Infection
Now and again, I find myself listening to Knox Mitchell's work a lot and it always makes me smile. So yeah, this tape goes like this and then it goes like that and then unexpectedly it does a bit of the other.

1%er - Heavy Speed
So, here's another beautiful thing. One-percenter are Andrew Coltrane and Knox Mitchell. If that isn't recommendation enough then there is nothing else I can do for you here. Seeing as that proportion has now lost interest ... if Knox is going to celebrate his label's 200th release, then fuck me this is the way to do it! It summerises a hell of a lot of my North American "noise" listening over the past 20 years in one lovely package.
Two C30s and a CDr released on Green Records And Tapes in 2012. It came in an edition of eighteen and it's not MP3.

Lidless Eye - Escape The Split Screen
This was a one-sided LP released on Life Like in 2013 in a mammoth edition of 118. The following year Knox put it back out with an additional CDr containing the demo tracks for what eventually turned into the LP. It's a really wonderful set of works that just bounces along and plasters a smile on my head for the rest of the day.
Single-sided LP and ten track CDr released on Green Records And Tapes in 2014 in an edition of eighteen. It's not MP3.

Various - Fratricide
No idea if anyone is watching but this is another for the David Gilden noise archive if they want it. This is a stunningly good tape in it's own right that Mrs Inside shared five and a half years ago. But it also has a solo track, a collaboration with Richard Ramirez and a track from Black Leather Jesus and given the timeframe it seems pretty reasonable to assume that he is on there as well. It's also released on his own label.
Oh, and everything else about this tape makes it an exemplar.
C90 released on Get A Job Records in 1995.

AC / DP - Highway To Hell
I share a birthday with Andrew Coltrane. I fucked him off quite a lot about ten years ago by posting 26 tapes in one of those really dumb discogs link dumps that used to happen here. Those kind of things stopped immediately and I've steered clear since. However, he genuinely is brilliant and ran / runs the equally brilliant Hermitage Tapes label. To improve matters, this is a collaboration with the brilliant David Payne who ran / runs the equally brilliant Middle James Co. label.
Yeah. I'm a fanboy.
A box of four C30s released on Middle James Co. in 2008 in 2008. It came in an edition of 23 and it's not MP3.

Mikadoroid - Mikadoroid
Another one for the archive and another post from four years ago.
The back of the package says "mikadoroid is an anonymous killer project from japan. play at maximum volume to increase your madness". Well the second part is true. Killer project is bang on but this is David Gilden and Akihiro Shimizu and that is a great thing. Unfortunately this was a one off collaboration.
C60 released on Slaughter Productions in 1996.

David Gilden - Depress-Regress
I posted this four years ago and to be honest didn't have any plans to re-up. However, today mjy dropped a comment in the Crackhouse post to tell me about the existence of the David Gilden noise archive which does what it says in the title. I had no idea that such a great idea existed. So, we have a few things to contribute ... I'm going to re-up some other things verys soon as well. So, peeps ... if you have anything to add to the archive then let either or both of us now so we can get more of his work heard.
C64 released on Slaughter Productions in 1996.

Lidless Eye - Dedication Of Family
Obviously this sounds great ... but as a complete aside, the label is run by Simon D. Wilson who also records as The Blue Spectrum. He's the only person I know of that is more fanatical about American Tapes than were are. I mean John Olson made him a ten tape set of Live Frying and a personal edition of a tape by The Skulls that is different from the original release. John made me a couple of T-shirts on request but it never occured to me to ask for copies of micro editions I'd missed out on. I guess that makes me realise that Simon is a hell of a lot mnore intelligent than me. Mind you, it looks like Knox has his own edition of one with his own catalogue number. I know my place.
Four CDr set released on Blue Spectrum Tapes in 2013. It was released in an edition of ten and it's not MP3.

Lidless Eye - Gummed Enclosure
This is the prolific Knox Mitchell. The only person I know who has as many email addresses as he does aliases and "band" affiliations. I only have a few Lidless Eyes and there are so many tape sets that came out in an edition of minus 34 that I will never get to hear. That kind of stuff really upsets me. So here's the deal ... I am perfectly prepared to sell your grandmother if I could get to hear more, if I can share them here as well then I'll throw in your grandfather at no extra cost.

Crackhouse - The Acid King
Crackhouse was a brief project from David Gilden and Erik Amlee emitting a raucous combination of tape manipulation, noise and random guitar abuse. Good enough in itself but any of Gilden's work is notoriously impossible to get hold of and seems to have just ceased to exist. Well it had seemed like that ... in the past year alone, there have been three reissues of his harsh noise releases from the brief window of 1995 to 1998. Hopefully there will be a lot more to come.
This is a CDr released on Mandragora Records in 2001. Never been for sale on Discogs apparently ... do we get a medal for that? Or a badge? Okay then, a "brave little soldier" sticker ... yeah, nothing then. Fuck you!

File under: It would be rude not to.
This is the edition of 200. It also includes a side from Dan Burke & Mark Klein (Arcane Device by any other name) contributing for me the best track of the lot and two very fluxed up tracks from Dittel & Tüttel which is a collaboration between Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg and Asmus Tietchens. This is a rip from a different source to the double 7 and required much less surgery to address any snap crackle and pop and is by far superior. If you're not happy with both versions being posted, let me know and there are refunds on request.

Nobuo Yamada - Bicycle Running Eve
Under his own name, he manipulates field recordings of the offensive polluting indutrial world that chokes us into rather elegant noisescapes. None of it matters because the world is already fucked but this is the sound it makes in my head. You should, of course, also know him from the more "noise" focused ARTBREAKHOTEL ... apparently it's on lonely street ... tip the waitress on the way out and blame her. Yeah, I get it ... I just couldn't help myself.
C40 released on his own ABH in 2011.

Der Eisenrost - Armored Weapon (Live Documents '93 - '94)
Warped guitars, drills and metal percussion courtesy of Chu Ishikawa, Shinichi Kawahara, Shinichi Seki, Joe Yabuki and Kouhei Chiba. They later provided the soundtrack for Shinya Tsukamoto's "Tokyo Fist". Industrial clubbers of the time will be familiar with some of the beats, there's even a bit of leatherclad EBM if that floats your boat. This steps far beyond those stereotypes though and as you would expect is much broader in scope and cinematic in tone.
A CD courtesy of Japan Overseas in 1995. It's not MP3.

Siglo XX - Antler Tracks II
Pikacyu★Makoto - OM Sweet Home : We Are Shining Stars From Darkside
You already know who these people are.
This is a CD that was released on Riot Season in 2011. These are the 13 tracks from the CD. The release is still for sale (at a ridiculously cheap price) and when you buy the physical copy you get nearly an hour of live material in the accompanying download that I think is from the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco when they toured the US on the back of this album in 2011.
I think I've said it before, but I love Riot Season but almost don't want people to know. I really don't need people ahead of me in the queue. Just about everything sells out immediately and there are no digital downloads that you can buy if you are too late. Today, there is a long awaited new release from Mainliner ... and it's a double LP. You can preorder from today and I promise this won't be around for long! Just for today, you can get the vinyl and the CD edition bundle for a cheaper price (which is what I've bought) and at the time of typing there are only nine of these left. You have been warned.

Siglo XX - Antler Tracks 1
Artificial Memory Trace / MSBR - Split
I could have sworn that I posted this about ten years ago. Apparently not. I'm sure, I'll get the hang of this remembering shit soon. Insert festive pantomime chorus "oh no you won't!". Erm, where was I? Oh yeah, I really should have posted this sooner and daily from then on. I can't think of a better contrast of styles on a split release. Slavek Kwi gives some typically wonderful slow motion ambient metal junk with a real feeling from SleepResearch_Facility's Nostromo ... empty spaces / potential threat / metal straining to contain the outside (but obviously no barking dogs and trumpet or Test Dept. drumming ... oh, fuck it, why do I bother?). If you're familiar with it you will hear what I mean. If you disagree, I won't be offended because I've already forgotten what I've said. The second track is the wonderful Koji Tano. Oh already there are you ... well ain't you clever?
A genuinely great CDr released on MSBR Records in 2001 in an edition of 100.

Various - The Throne Of Drones
You know, I really should have been quicker off the mark by just going with the Asphodel connection. I have so many of the label releases that I was buying a long time ago: Invisibl Skratch Piklz; The X-Ecutioners; Rob Swift; Mix Master Mike ... they were also releasing Otomo Yoshihide, Cristian Marclay, KK Null, Daniel Menche, Zbigniew Karkowski, Zeitkratzer and whatever lies behind the letter z.
Admittedly, I am thinking out loud but that's because I hadn't connected things up before. My relationship with the label was initially with the turntablist releases. I've spent a lot of time with the Drones compilations and the thread throughout the Asphodel catologue is something so obvious it's like finding something brand new ... but it was hidden in plain sight. Within the context of the label's aesthetic, these compilations make so much more sense to me.
So ... erm, yeah. It's a CD. It's not MP3.

Asmus Tietchens / Arcane Device - Speiseleitung
You can be forgiven for judging this book by it's cover and thinking that this is some neo-hippy trance nonsense. That's graphic design produced by mid-90s software packages for you. Luckily, this is Asmus Tietchens and David Lee Myers creating some seriously psychotic hypnosis.

Das Synthetische Mischgewebe - The Escape Of The Electrified Dermatologist ...
"The full title of this double-CD album of collaborations is: "The escape of the electrified dermatologist epitomises his dissent with the compromising juxtaposition of the smell and the sound of a pair of wings injured in subdued romance". It contains tracks recorded with ERG, Jörg Thomasius, Artificial Memory Trace, The Oval Language and Thomas Beck. Loud and quiet, occasionally full blast and more frequently sneaking little sounds, no less intense and all alternating in a few seconds - discontinuity may likely be the trademark of DSM's sound world. Things are kept together, coherency is established by all what is absent, form vanishes before it can be grasped."
I can't improve on that description. However, a long time ago, there was a collaborative work between Jörg Thomasius and DSM that was due to be released on Johnny Blue. It even managed to be reviewed on Vital Weekly. For whatever reason, it never appeared as a extant release but thankfully, that material is here.
Double CD released on Monochrome Vision in 2006.
