XX Committee - Steel Negro Music

Bravo to Trash Ritual! They had a nearly-flawless run of nasty noise cassettes by unsavory brutes from around the world, but their choice of reissues made it clear that they knew their history. This 2011 CD reissue of an obscure but excellent (if unfortunately-titled) 1982 cassette might be TR's crowning achievement. Maybe you've never heard of the band, but you've surely heard of band member Scott Foust, who would go on to helm the astounding Idea Fire Company and the Swill Radio label. Marvel at the synthetic thumps and metal-shearing industrial thud contained within. An influence on Trash Ritual, an artifact of early 1980s cassette noise, and a terrific album on its own.
