Vomir - Le Mur Bruitiste Est Non Programmable, Il A Une Fonction Heuristique: Il Révèle; Il Ne Représente Pas: Il Présente




Last year, there was news of a planned Vomir release which was to be called A Day Of Seclusion. This would have been / will be a very apt title given that it would involve a sixteen C90 boxset. Yeah, you read the previous sentence correctly: 24 hours of Romain Perrot's glorious Harsh Noise Wall! Surely, that would open up a black hole and destroy us all ...

Whilst we wait for that delightful end to all things, here is a boxset that was released on Anarcho Freaks Production in an edition of only 20 copies in 2012. This is a magnificent ten C90 set that (obviously) clocks in at 15 hours of quality HNW.

The label blog seems to have gone quiet recently but you can check the Bandcamp page whilst we wait for an update.

Various ‎- Wallwhores




Just in case you were concerned that Bleak Bliss had stopped being one big sausage party ... rest assured!

This a huge three C90 tape set released on HarshFuckedForLife Records in 2010. It features Mackenzie Chami's Insurgent project (and you might know him from Bachir Gemayel, Crown Of Cerberus and Koufar amongst others), Kevin Jansen's Un (you might also know him as Svartvit) and Missing Girls (who I know nothing about really).

These tapes came in at just over 200MB each. Just in case that messes with people who don't have an account, I've uploaded them as single sides.

Maat - Yacikaa

In case you thought that Bleak Bliss was one big sausage party, here are a couple of albums by an actual female artist. Yes, they exist! Maat was the alter ego of German composer Dörte Marth, who was in the band Devantgarde in the early 1980's (anyone want to share their releases?), then created three wonderful albums of chilly synthesizer minimalism under the name Maat in the 1990's. "Yacikaa" was the third and final Maat album, put out by Drag & Drop Industrial in 1996. All of her work under this name reminds me a little bit of Asmus Tietchens' Sky Records output.

Various‎ - Noise Forest

I only need to say fourteen words:

Merzbow. Chaotic Custom Cock Commandos. Solmania. Dislocation. Monde Bruits. Masonna. Violent Onsen Geisha. Incapacitants.

Various‎ - No Body




Here's another single-sided tape from Beast 666 Tapes. This time from 1986.

13 minutes and 38 seconds of completely fucked up genius!

Various‎ - Yellow Power Scum




This is a deranged no-fidelity single-sided C30 released on Beast 666 Tapes in 1991.

Apart from the notable exception of The Gerogerigegege and Masomania, it features three Boredoms tracks in 3 minutes, one and a half minutes of UFO or Die and 40 seconds of Yellowhouse (a blink and you missed it collaboration between Eye and Hitoma Arimoto who ran the label). Twelve and a half minutes and gone ... and then you realise it's nicked your wallet on the way out!

Various ‎- Garbage Sandwich




"WARNING: This double cassette compilation 'Garbage Sandwich', is only mere 'garbage' which musicians, non-musicians, artists, non-artists, who exist, live, work or have already disappeared in mainly Japan, U.S.A. or all over the world, play, which only lunatics or perverts play, which is the worst and the lowest one like real garbage and normal person cannot find out any necessity, meaning and value to listen to and it has spent about three years from the end of 1989 to the end of 1992 and comes to waste and which becomes only 'garbage' after collecting, compiling, producing, decomposing, and at last breaking completely and after all, it does not have any meaning and does not bear anything and everything comes to nothing."

This is a double C100 set released on the legendary Japanese label Beast 666 Tapes in 1992.

It's a strange beast if you'll pardon the pun. You get Masonna, Boredoms, Ruins, Hijokaidan, Hanatarash, Zeni Geva, UFO Or Die, Violent Onsen Geisha (believe me you need to check that one out), Jojo Hiroshige, Incapacitants, The Gerogerigegege and nine Yamatsuka Eye "outfits" that only exist for the purposes of this release and then you get a 3 minute track from Masomania (a collaboration between Masonna and Solmania). As far as I know, the only other Masomania is on the Yellow Power Scum tape. I'll be posting that tomorrow!

And then you get the likes of Con-Don and The Grey Wolves. And then you get German Shepherds and live Smegma. Jello Biafra turns up.

And then we finish off with a brilliantly fucked up reworking of a telephone call that GG Allin made from prison whilst he was waiting on charges of attempted murder.

Utterly magnificent and utterly fucked up in every sense!

You're Smiling Now But We'll All Turn Into Demons‎ - Inner Space Broadcasts Volume 2 / Contact Raw Sessions




YSNBWATID hail from the unlikely environs of Portsmouth on the South coast of England. They are criminally obscure given that they produce some of the greatest heavy garage psych that I have ever heard. The Godz, Blue Cheer, Stooges, MC5, Mudhoney crammed into a blender, add a dollop of Sabbath riffage and then view through the prism of The Spacemen Three's drug consumption. Or something ...

Painfully, I hadn't heard Demons until Cardinal Fuzz released these CDRs in 2012 and then I really realised what I had been missing. The first 50 of these came with the bonus Contact Raw Sessions disc. These sessions formed the basis for the Contact High CD released on Function Records in 2009. Cardinal Fuzz in all of their visionary glory are about to re-release Contact High as a double vinyl. If a band ever needed to be heard on vinyl, it's these men! Thank you Cardinal Fuzz!!!

This is the most fun you will have this weekend ... with or without your clothes on!

Astronaut - Temple of 3 Sides

More Astronaut, this time a CDR of very early music self-released by the band in 2007. Spaceward jams made on uncool synths by stoned suburban students.

Astronaut - Darkest Breads

Very early album by Astronaut, a cosmic synth trio featuring Daniel Lopatin (who today makes stellar bleep as Oneohtrix Point Never) and Lee Tindall (aka Zerfallt, Belarisk, Mutation in the Gryd, etc). It came out as a cassette on the Cleveland, Ohio, label Mistake on the Lake in 2008. Rough and raw, but the seeds of future drones are clearly audible even on this formative tape.

Vanilla Host - Folded At The Face




C30 released on Housecraft Records in 2009. Housecraft has it's own Bandcamp page on a paywatchyalike basis. However if you search around for some of the artists that appeared on the label you will find similar loveliness!

As far as I know, Vanilla Host only released two tapes. They were a collaboration between Daniel Dlugosielski (father of a million wonderful projects and to truly mix a metaphor gave birth to Excite Bike and co-runs Moon Mist Music with Hellfire Holly Young) and Jeffry Astin (aka Abolicao, Digital Natives, Isaac Willow and Xiphiidae who collaborates in any number of your favourite things and founded the wonderful Housecraft Records).

What else do you need to know really ... ?
