Various - Power Electronics
I don't really get the distinction between Power Electronics and Noise. I probably could but can't quite be bothered. These days PE seems to encompass people who do noise and then shout a bit. In 1986, it apparently included the likes of Merzbow, If, Bwana, Maybe Mental, Architects Office, Controlled Bleeding, Le Syndicat and, erm, Rhys Chatham.
C60 released on Tellus in 1986. Most of the Tellus compilations are available for streaming but seeing as I have this one ... etc.

Lefthandeddecision - Box Set
This is one of those does it really exist releases. Well the answer is yes. I know "for a fact" that it is a six CDr boxset (the box is white by the way). I'm assuming that it was self-released (in 2001). My assumption is based upon the fact that it contains all of Phil Blankenship's impossible to find early releases.
On here, you get the Surgical Precision C30, the Without Life C60, the Lovelorn CDr, the RCLF C10, the Bascombination C18, the Powertripping tracks from the IMPAXIS split, the half of the Personal Precision CDr that doesn't include the Surgical Precision tape, the Cracked Electronics C60 (for some reason minus the 24 minute Mumble & Reg Remix) and a variety of great compilation appearances.
I've sat on this for years. And years! I've been waiting to find some kind of presence on t'interweb (as though that would add the requisite authentication) but have failed, but I know a few people who have seen it with their eyes. The thing that niggles me is the 6th disc ... it's much shorter than the others and I can't help thinking that the Mumble & Reg Remix is unintentionally missing. Given that I've sat on this wonderful set for so long, I'm resigned to never knowing ... maybe there is nothing else to know ...
Anyway, there is some kind of gender oppressive rule that, on the 29th of February, females are "allowed" to ask males to marry them. If recognition of your private relationships by the church and / or state is important to you and somebody proposes to you today then judge the prospects of the prospective union by their ability to sit with you throughout this set and offer critical nuances on its finer points. I admit that there should be more punctuation in the previous sentence. Otherwise, bin them off and spend the rest of your life alone. Mind you, I may have not thought that last bit through ...

Maruosa - Exercise And Hell
This is a CD released on Renda in 2007. Maruosa is a Japanese gentlemen who, as far as I am aware, is called Maruosa. He recorded (very briefly) as Death Ranch with Jason Köhnen (aka Bong-Ra).
This starts with him vomiting all over what might be Handel's Messiah and then it's grindcore / bleepcore / insertyourownwordcore all the way down. Basically, load up your nail gun. Set to maximum speed. Press against your temple. Pull the trigger.
Since I pulled it out of one of the many over-spill boxes two weeks ago, this has been on constant repeat ... and I mean several times a day. I'm hoping that you have never seen Ringu because this is me passing on the curse.

Francisco López - Untitled Music for Geography
Untitled Music for Geography?
Oh, so that what it sounds like. If I had known that, then I would have paid more attention in school. The only thing that I have retained is how an oxbow lake forms and apart from now I don't think I've ever had the need to consider that information. How different life could have been!
Frankly gorgeous CD released on (the appropriately named) Sedimental in 1997.

Francisco López / Michael Gendreau - TDDM
This is a double CD set released on Sonoris in 2008 that is the polar opposite of the previous post. The sound sources and inspiration are taken from recordings of industrial machinery and engines and factory found sound respectively.
This is the kind of music that fully occupies my mind yet still gives me the space to cast off the detritus of the day and think my own thoughts. An unfortunately rare event in my life and a marvellous gift bestowed by these two gentlemen!

Michael Gendreau & Francisco López - Drowning & Untitled #185
For Michael Gendreau, space is the place and he uses it to great effect in that he gives you plenty of time to pay attention to how his music builds and degrades. Entropy in action. Francisco López is, naturally, a legend who creates minimal sculptures from nothing at all.
LP released on Blake Edwards' (aka Vertonen's) Crippled Intellect Productions in 2006.

Michael Gendreau - Vitoj
Starts with tinnitus and gradually builds towards the harsh before dropping off a Schimpfluch cliff, dusting itself off and building again.
CD released on Auscultare Research in 2005.

Crawling With Tarts - Bled Es Siba
Crawling With Tarts are frankly great ... sort of post-industrial freak-folk (well, we know how much you like meaningless categorisations so there it is).
Michael and Suzanne are joined here by Cliff Neighbors (who was also in Big City Orchestra and Deathranch) on this double C90 set released on Audiofile Tapes in 1998.
The more time you spend with these tapes, the more you will love them! And that comes with a money back guarantee ...

Crawling With Tarts & Big City Orchestra - Tryst 3
Sometimes, I can't be arsed with loads of words. Big City Orchestra are as ridiculously great as they are prolific. Crawling With Tarts are Michael Gendreau and Suzanne Dycus-Gendreau. This is for all of you who prefer your electronic shamanism with a twist of lemon. C30 released on BCO's UBUIBI in 1998.
