D.D. DOBSON: ritual bath (HYSTER30, 2020)
*odd transmission(s) from california - for example: insects shuffling,
crawling thru western breeze pipes,
bubbling under mangled broadcasts and shiny diamond caves, minimal groove
& inept yet spirited horn action,
skewed house of mirrored sound and tar pit jazz from planet mud.
could be thought as a kind of parallel tape with LAL DDD release
called "Cycles of celebrations" since
material on both tapes is culled from same session.

JAZZHAND: muuttomatkalainen (HYSTER34, 2022)
*one sided three track C90 that manages to go all over the map, bit like
the person behind it. first track is magnificent,
5 dimensional 30 minute whining, meandering piece of kunnon
kentta-aanityksia eika mitaan syntikoita which slowly
evolves into a mighty, carefully assembled hissing blizzard of
crispy, light noise. sound of nature? second track is nothing
but spacious synth(s) blops, booms and swooshes. slightly galactic.
finally, suiting for the confusing whole, third track
is almost folk made with kantele, delay, dripping water(?) and a deep nod
towards old 70s lords of modern classic and
maybe a slight tip of a hat to 00s US freak folk masters..? anyway, sun =
moon, contact mic water.

DULL BOYS: dull boys (KING TAPES / TOTES FORMAT / HYSTER35,

*A side multiple found speeches layered on top of each other until its
an incomprehensible dull hissing mess of weary and
normal small talk of medicines, marketing, emails, differences of soaps,
jobs, etc. B side found choir action mangled and
strecthed into a dreary slowly dripping nightmare of sound and sight.

HUMAN ADULT BAND: 3.12.22 - 7.12.22 (HYSTER37, 2023)
*there is automatic writing and then there is automatic rock. this is the
latter with healthy doses of free noise, slow doom dirge
jams, strange snippets of scuzz and a degenerating 5 sec tape loop to end
it all. a glorious, 120% analogue, over the top lo-fi
production.

ANIMA CAERULEA & KESKIAJAN KEVÄT: tulen nousu (PST001)
*here are three tracks of digital, crepuscular and slightly gallant
neofolk with sounds that sound like theres
a moderately conservative preset configurations kept on keyboards and
other machines. this might do well
as a soundtrack for a fantasy themed computer game? have to say that
at this point in time i really have no
way of knowing if this is any good or not. experts mention its
promising. its also prob quite rare since there
are only 33 copies made.

ANTONY MILTON: off-white (AKTICAS-7)
*sad and sincere sounding, slow, dreamy and meandering emotional
experimental glitchy psych leftfield lo-fi pop
with occasional cool and fried and almost collapsing noodling electric
guitar
solos. this was a lathe cut LP in 2017.
now in 2023 its a C-cassette. wondering if there will be an

ARSENY LITVIN: Requiem: Last Lullaby For Riurik (PMR_51)
*calm & static 40+ minute ambient/drone with a nice music box-like motif going
on and on.
one sound-element might be a bit slowed down recording of cat´s
purr..? a pleasant listen.
Riuruk (2013-2019) was a cat.

ARSENY LITVIN: red album (l.album pour enfants) (PMR_56)

experimental electronics, bit of noise,
bit of drone, couple tracks of odd children-song-like structures, some
beats etc etc. rather dada.

AUTHARKTOS: carpetscapes (TCD1432017)
*basically a nice experimental tape of droning sine waves and/or
keyboards, tiny sounds, garbled tape whine,
confused atmospheres, the usual fare. all good & fine. yet what makes
this tape stand out a bit is its way odd
production values and choices - there is really weird digital crap glitch
on top of everything through the whole tape,
sometimes it fits almost magically and sometimes its really fucking
annoying. its close to a sound you might get when
recording something really loud with cheap earbuds. this tape is edition of 18 copies.. which is probably just fine
since
it is clearly not for everyone. file under: annoying, limited,
baltic & brilliant.
ps. somehow this tape also reminds me at times of Crochet from UK..
i have no idea why.

BARDO TODOL / DEVID CIAMPALINI: el origen del pensamiento magico
(IKASUS-063)
*pretty inspired collaboration between two italians and one argentine.
new ageish / ambient, experimental synth /
electronics with odd snippets
of field recordings, effected monologues, shallow & tiny drumming, bells,
toys and
such, all assembled into an weird, flowing collage. really
diverse & really good!

CRISTIANO CAROSI: vipera nido di (SA25)
*carefully selected collection of many tiny sounds. at times it
plays out like a very small and very fragmented Tex
Avery cartoon, a beatiful, haunting, adventurous, mesmerizing and aquatic
cartoon made with synths and magnetic
tape.

DGR DBBLMN & KUUP: kajalood (TCD1302017)
*quite hypnotic, bit technoish, maybe improvised, duo electronics/synth
music from estonia. sounds really nice & pleasant. you might place
this in the middle on a imaginary line drawn from mr. oizo to iltasyntsa.
maybe. sounds also seem to slowly disintegrate towards the end of
side b, which is cool.

HUMAN ADULT BAND: T. Penn collections (SAGA HOUSE 3)
*this collection includes: one great droning 17 min neck of a bass vs. amp
haze, scuzzy & messy lo-fi recordings of
songs in minimal band setups, some bass / guitar duo situations. lots of
noisy improlike, free psych
noodling. one T.Rex cover.
i guess these are mostly recorded in live
situations at shady houses and basements in new jersey. you can almost
hear the mold.
A side is B side played backwards.. dont really know whats
the idea behind that but it sure is annoying!

HUNTON QUINTET: kuutelus (IKASUS-03)
*Concrete and Stepanoff with guitars, percussions,

athmospheric, creepy, devastating and totally disorienting experience. i
think they
recorded some things under
the name ANTI/UTON many, many years ago..

IAINEN: virta (BROWNHILL MAFIA)
*A side a neat report on a dark dream / vision, flows like an odd
radio-play of sorts. B side feels more free-form with nice experimental
ambient scapes drifting around. through the whole tape there is weird and
interesting
juxtaposition with cleaner, modern sounds and some
older, dirtier and somehow analogier objects.. recorded in
somewhere called "ilmestysmaja".. which maybe translates as "vision hut"?
real good one.

JACKIE O MOTHERFUCKER: channel zero (AKTICAS-6)
*live recording from Italy 2006, it starts with a heartbeat and then inept
fluting, humming and wailing, echoed bells, percs, mumbled
statements, slow chance punting, rattle, screech all get involved and
then it somehow ends finally in a incomprehensible sing a song
action. its a ritualistic mess, yes.

J.K.: aurinkovuosi (IKASUS-112)

JORGE VICARIO: broken music (JZK030)
*C40 tape that sounds at times like a skipping cd-player with a bit of
soul. could be filed under minimal easy-listening
glitch, maybe? dont know if on purpose or not but anyway well fitting for
this release, the liner notes are also written
in very broken english. nice listen.

JUHO TOIVONEN: suurpää (IKASUS-109)
*two 13+min tracks of very coherent, thoughtful, lively and
breathing droning
ambient. side A brings to mind certain hissing and
humming NZ sound,
without sounding like a copy.
Suurpää is a district in Ulvila, Silmarillion is a book by Tolkien, do the
math.

KOBEUK: the dope smut huckster (RUPU018)
*great, plentiful, chaotic, warm, lo-fish junk noise pedalism that has a

cannot be sure what comes next. recommended.

LEITMOTIV LIMBO: limbo / wind swept (SM01)
*stark, minimal,lo-fi, very strange and often just downright
creepy soundscapes/songs made mainly with saxophone (or some
suchlike wind instrument[s]), crude electronics, occasional
beaten metal junk and blurred vocals. covers look like theyve
been somehow programmed with VCR on a piece of tapestry and the
tapes been spraypainted with.. something.
7e + postages
LEITMOTIV LIMBO: minimal sphere (SM04)
*analogue diy synths, vague alien logic, disjointed pulses and sub-level
swooshes - all skewed into a dry, shining, creepy,
confusing, slow,distant bleep and howl. lo-fi hiss of fever melt mess /
ping / stasis. ifyou plan to go stalking E.T., here is
a potent soundtrack. covers: cryptic fonts on thick gold cardboard,
recycled, shotgun spraypainted tapes.
7e + postages
LEITMOTIV LIMBO: spiritual disturbance (NO LABEL..?)
*C60 of self-built wood & iron spring percussion-like instruments recorded
in 2020 with two room microphones onto
4-track at a church hall in adelaide, australia. occasionally rhythmic,
cavernous, crackling, hissing,
and quite bleak yet
lucid outsider vision. released in 2022, recycled, spraypainted tapes.

MARC BENNER + SICK DAYS: waste of time, waste of money / submit
split (VAC-055)
*Benner: real tasty 10 minute of mushy fieldrec, tapehiss and maybe, just
maybe, some minimal synth work. excellent and confusing listen!
Sick days: close recording of wind, water or fire and a soothing,
meandering plink plonk of a music box / xylophone / electric toy piano or
such + radio / contact mic scrape & hiss.
all in all - a tape of mighty bliss for days on end! very recommended.

*compilation of baltic(?) experimental / noise from year 2019. eleven

theres well crafted dark ambient / horror movie soundtrack type of
things, decent experimental electronics, OK noise and
then some material which is quite aimless, horrible and not really even
that noisy.

PHANTOM GLADE (BB023)
*weird compilation of electronic/synth onetakes (this prob means
improvised?) recorded in Vienna during 2021-2022. its a varied affair of
eerie,
oddly darkish and somehow even bit sickly atmospheres. unifying
factor between all tracks seems to be that there is a person called Marie
Vermont
involved. no idea what it means. interesting comp!

PH UNDERGROUND COMPILATION VOL. 1 (POSTHUMAN PROD)
*comp of mostly trashy and noisy grindcore bands around europe and

some aphex twin record. heres a lst of bands:
decoherence, daily life
sucks, EEH, sudden death, long pig, tisztan a cel fele, sanitys dawn,

ROTMANS: two (???)
*a noise cassette from Canada 2023. a carefully assembled, beautiful lo-fi
noise cassette. its not as harsh or monotone like the 490/504 tape
but bit more lively and dreamy mess that oddly seems to follow a logic of
sorts or
even try to tell a story. the world might be listening but
it sure won't understand. this might be released on a label called Vast

SANDLADAN: alppikatu (B-KOMISSIO)
*great, mellow, crisp, heroic, spaceish, concrety, krauty synthmaze music
from helsinki. sounds somehow oddly retro & futuristic
at the same time, maybe an google fueled AI that has been tricked into
thinking its living in the 60s might come up with similar
end product?
strongest track is sidelong "Brahenkentt which sounds bit like soothing
new-age music for robots. weakest "Alppikatu", which is luckily
also the shortest one on the tape. so more is more and less is less in
robot sphere. 40min, three track tape. middle A in their name should have
an tiny circle above it.

calm pace. all is repetitive. music for smoking, perhaps. good!

humm and rattle. side B sounds like a extended boat w/ crackle, hiss and
blown humming w/ birds. all is calm. on the cover there is a picture of a
burning
match & the spot where the flame is has actually been burned a
bit for real so its not maybe appropriate to call this mint.

HUMAN ADULT BAND: sonic enlightenment LP (ENO 081)
*A: side long odd, scuzzy, dragging, psychedelic doom garage
piece. neon on shirt, leg broken, sitting in a public
laundromat. its
ghastly, weird and disjointed yet somehow it feels all right &
appropriate.
B: some odd snippets, including atleast: loop of swamp-life, noisy impro
free rock, mystic speedy jam, weird almost
collapsing metal, wide & messy guitar duo soloing.

POST-MATERIALISTS: moist rita & glyptique 7"
(PMM101)
*one sided, 33rpm single from russia 2012. two tracks on side A, "moist
rita"
excelent, quite Residentsesque,
airy and pretty minimal weirdly smoky
little affair of a song with very muffled vocals in what i suppose is
russia.
"glyptique" shorter instrumental piece with a nice saxophone motif
with confused tiny guitar(?) noise. on side B
artwork and letters on red. silk screened covers, 8 page booklet
informing you whats what + yellow voyerism
themed postcard of sorts. solid.

POST-MATERIALISTS / GARGAMELEK: my jazz - my vibes 7" (PM-002 /
201666)
*REALLY great split 7" from year 2016. first track on side PM sounds like
odd and
perplexingly slow, pounding drums / circus-midi take on
jazz of sorts. its quite horrible actually. it states on the covers
for this side: "45 or 33 rpm". so maybe with 45 the track makes more
sense? i dont know..
luckily the second PM track, "space
smile", is a really wonderful tiny collage of mariachi trumpet, some
underwater singing, loop of something from 50s, an guitar and maybe
something else. excelent!
on side G one(?) long track of more traditional free jazz sound with
instrumentation of alt sax,
percussion, paintings. and its exceptionally
good too! raw sax and tiny busy percussions
somewhere underneath the
wailing. really great. if i decipher the covers right the players on this
side
are called Gargamelek, Maoist mojo and New York 1975. nice.

SONORITES DE LA VIE DE BOHEME (EMR-COMP-7" #1)
*odd experimental 7" compilation of four quite abstract & somewhat muddy
pieces. from norway 2001 - byart, taming power,
obscure tapestries and empy-ass noise. deep bass, typewriter, clanged
stringed instruments, synth, field recs etc
taming power cover version.

VALANCE DRAKES & IVAN SHOPOV: unearthing buried chapters (AMEK024)
*real nice beat-oriented, calm LP of ambient and bit glitchy digital
sounds from bulgaria. digital tapestry that you could almost gaze
onto forever. its not at all complex or harsh, the sound
is rather
poppy and minimal at times. disjointed beats, clicks, pleasant
ambient sections and mildly skewed atmospheres
add up to a whole that make very enjoyable and durable listening
experience.

BLACK BEVY: 8,300 miles (ARPH-0007)
*hard to pin down and surprisingly diverse, quite ambient record made by a
duo. there are wide guitars, synths, drones, howl,
distant clicks, tiny rhythms, silent field-recordings, humm, samples,
ghostly vocals, long pitched vocals, etc. etc. all
cloaked
mysteriously into a nice & odd feel of pop, a very left-field and
experimental pop sure but a pop nonetheless! the song The
wind has
gather up the vapour will most likely be a huge retro banger hit at
the post-apocalypse discos of 2098.
maybe a very stripped down FSA record "Mirror" can be seen somewhere in
the distance, far, far away? I am not sure, but
atleast one thing is clear: buy less - listen more.

detritus with a fantastic use of tiny gaps of silence and meandering
whine.
CD-R in hand-assembled sturdy cardboard sleeve with three tiny pictures of
some.. things.
