Christian Marclay / Thurston Moore / Lee Ranaldo - Fuck Shit Up

Fantastic live recording of a set at the 16th Festival International Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville on the 24th of May, 1999. Just in case you were wondering ... yes, they do indeed fuck shit up!

Released on Les Disques Victo in 2000.

Richard Ramirez - Male

Typical blown-out noise from the guy who seems to be in every noise band in Houston, most notably Black Leather Jesus and Werewolf Jerusalem. This cassette was released in an edition of 100 copies by Truculent in 2003.

Richard Ramirez ‎- Scenes In Leather: 1992 / 1999

This is a three C90 boxset featuring extracts or tracks from (what are now) very early works from Mr Ramirez. As always keep checking in on Richard's Bandcamp site where you will find loads of really rare side projects and material that is exclusively released there ...

Released on Marco Corbelli's Slaughter Productions in 1999.

Are the Volcanoes Still Active? - Know Your Equal

Restrained throbbing-feedback ambience that's surprisingly pleasant for a band with Richard Ramirez in it. This cassette came out on Truculent in an edition of 100 copies in 2006.

[Quick Badgerstump update: looks like the links for this and the Neuntöter Der Plage tape died prior to posting. Luckily, I grabbed them when they were sitting in the departure lounge ... so I've replaced both.]

Neuntöter Der Plage - The Spectre Sows His Seed

Death-industrial horror growl by Ryan Opperman (aka Redrot, Klinikal Skum, Xombie, Post-Mortem Junkie) released by Truculent in 2006 in an edition of 100 cassettes.

Various - Endzeitkonstruktionen

Strangely compelling double C90 set that spends nearly all of it's time in a hallucinogenic dark ambient world. An echo of a bad trip perhaps. Quite a few of the artists here are largely unknown (to me) with appearances apparently limited to German compilations but the likes of Brume, Telepherique, Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata, I: Wound or De Fabriek might just tempt you in ...

Released on Neuzeitliche Tonkonstruktionen in 1993.

C60 jointly released on Le Syndicat's self-titled label ‎and Pacific 231's VP 231 imprint in 1985.

Quality compilation featuring the likes of Club Moral, Blackhouse, Non Toxique Lost, Vox Populi!, Human Flesh, Controlled Bleeding, The Haters, Vivenza, Le Syndicat, Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata, Pacific 231 & Die Form, Anne Gillis and some bloke called Merzbow.

Double LP released on VP 231 in 1985.

Ralph Lundsten / Leo Nilson - Elektronmusikstudion Dokumentation 1

Ralph Lundsten and Leo Nilson combining to produce a really quite spectacular piece of vinyl. This is probably my favourite of the series of four Elektronmusikstudion Dokumentation albums. Saying that, they are all wonderful. Some four or five decades after they were created they fit perfectly amongst everything else we have posted here ...

Sveriges Radio represent one of the finest examples of public service broadcasting. They released this LP in 1966.

Karl-Birger Blomdahl / Bengt Emil Johnson - Elektronmusikstudion Dokumentation 2

Karl-Birger Blomdahl and Bengt Emil Johnson presenting us with a great album of field recording / spoken word electronics.

LP released on Sveriges Radio in 1967.

Elektronmusikstudion Dokumentation 2

Morthenson / Mellnäs / Bodin - Elektronmusikstudion Dokumentation 3

Jan W. Morthenson, Arne Mellnäs and Lars-Gunnar Bodin delivering sounds that are more spacious than the preceding album that occasionally points in an Off Site (ish) direction in parts.

LP released on Sveriges Radio in 1970.

Elektronmusikstudion Dokumentation 3

Bäck / Johnson / Bodin - Elektronmusikstudion Dokumentation 4

Reknowned Swedish composers Sven-Erik Bäck, Bengt Emil Johnson and Lars-Gunnar Bodin taking the "new" electronics to create swathes of musique concrète inflected sound and even an early approximation of what would become "noise".

LP released on Sveriges Radio in 1973.

Handicapper Horns‎ - Vol. 1

John Olson, Randy Sutherland and Vinni Campbell on a homespun C46 released on American Tapes in 1997 in an edition of seven copies.

It's AM21 btw.

Handicapper Horns‎ - Skin Reeded

A cracked C44 released on American Tapes in 2000 which is probably John Olson on his own...

It's AM151 btw.

Skin Reeded

Handicapper Hornz / Dead Machinez / Spykez - Personality Crisis

Make a (skronk) jazz noise here.

It's AM676 btw.

Personality Crisis

Handicapper Horns‎ - Handicapper Horns

This is one of those times where the artist and the label really click.

K2 - Maximum Lateral Pressure

It would be especially appropriate to say that K2 makes noise with surgical precision, because (aha!) Dr. Kimihide Kusafuka is, in fact, a real life surgeon! Death metal bands like Carcass think they're extreme because they opened a medical textbook and copied the names of diseases to use for song titles... but it's much more extreme for K2 to have opened up the same medical textbooks because HE WAS IN MEDICAL SCHOOL, STUDYING TO BECOME AN ACTUAL DOCTOR. In his spare time (do you know of any surgeons who have spare time?) he bashes on metal and makes noise. This cassette was put out by Realization Recordings in 1994.

THE FUTURE?

We still don't know...we're making this shit up as we go along!

As always, dripfeed us a few requests, we still have changeable minds!

All requests are welcome, no matter what genre!

PRACTICALITIES!

We have had to change file hosts many times since we started in 2009.

Most of the older links are undoubtedly dead. If we were to try to keep every link going there would literally be no time for new posts.

Given that we have an untold number of things that we think need to be heard, it's not possible to do both.

Some things may be re-upped but (as always) we are unlikely to pay any attention to "anonymous" requests.

Entertaining (rather than desperate) requests may stand a chance but don't bet on it!

Get Engaged!
