Apart from putting the blog on hiatus for all this time, I also mainly abstained from looking at what other fine bloggers post, so I'm not sure if Bleak Bliss, who has been gracing us with the majority of American Tapes's catalog, has actually posted this - if they have, I'm sorry for stealing your thunder. In any case, here's John Olson doing his regular fried electronics. Track 4 is really cool evil noise. 2005 cdr on American Tapes.
Doesn't really have any info on who actually plays on this and I don't know if Nate Young was still a member at that point, but this quite fun wanking with dictaphones and household percussion. Posset could have recorded this. 2005 cdr on Heresee.
The godfathers of skronky impro drone on a very heavy fuzzed-out jam. "Shribble By The Shoals And Stepping Stones" is an amazing hypnotic track. Sounds somewhat like Burzum' "Tomhet" but without the melody, just a monotonous synth drone. Really good. 2005 cdr on Gold Soundz.
In an older bandcamp Friday post I had written about Estonia's Threes And Will's Lkhumbe as an example of cannibalized psychedelia. In his most recent album Blood River Poort he collaborates with Huerequeque, also from Estonia, in a fucked-up psychedelic acid freak trip informed by Skullflower (eternally upwards guitar astrophysical jets) and also similar to Xazzaz. Seriously deranged stuff, with its concept based on the Boer Wars. Download it on Threes And Will's bandcamp or buy on Love Earth Music.
Ok most of you will probably think that I'm a big asshole but I have tried my best to resolve this but to no avail: So, last September I got in touch with Juntaro to order some new stuff he had made, namely the Hand Made Broken Orgel tapes, the 新宿に命さびしむ歌多し Cassette in wood box and the Back Ground Music For Midnight Driving reissue. He told me to send him the JPY equivalent of about 130 euros through and he would prepare them for me. Up until we arranged the amount he answered promptly. Then after I sent the money he took a week to reply to my two mails in which I asked him if he had received the money, replying that he was unwell and asked me to tell him again what I had ordered and then asked for some time to prepare the order. Then a month later he answered again after several emails saying he needed to prepare the box and said he wanted to send back the money or if i could wait, to which I said I preferred to wait because I really wanted the items. Then he said again he wanted to send back the money, and I replied he could do whatever he felt would be better but I'd rather he kept the money and take his time to send the package. Our last contact was in November. After that I sent him an email every month asking about the order until some point when I decided to ask to get my money back. He never answered.
For some time it seemed he didn't make any new posts on his FB account, but now I see he's active again. I have hesitated to write about this debacle on his account for fear of people thinking he might be a ripoff. Of course I have never for a moment thought he is a ripoff, I guess it's probably bad communication and disorganization on his part, but hey it's 130 euros and things are shit economically. So, even if he never replies, is there a chance any of you have these tapes and could kindly share them for my poor ass that is 130 euros poorer at the moment?
OK enough whining, here we have the Heavenly Cover Songs cdr that came with the Uguisudani Apocalypse reissue through Inundow mailorders and it's snippets of more lovely Japanese pop and rock songs. 2021 cdr on Vis A Vis Audio Arts.
Then we have the As If It Had Always Been Determined Since This Day Was Born release, which essentially is the Sexual Behavior In The Human Male 1988 7" with several remixes of the same tracks, which sound even more perverted than the originals. The second cd is a 1990 punk noise live version of the title track "Sexual Behavior In The Human Male" with Juntaro or sb else screaming. 2022 2 X CD on Inundow.
Download cd 1 (As If It Had...)
Download cd 2 (Sexual Behavior... live)
Just one of the absolutely best Wolf Eyes-related release. Unrelenting cryptic noise/free jazz/ambient darkness. 2012 tape & 2 X cdr on American Tapes.
Once again, hails to Jani from Uton for helping me find this. Most of that early Bridget Hayden solo stuff sounds much more abstract and noisy than her later dirgy beauty. On the first track among all the noises, Puccini's La Boheme can be heard, while the third track is violin improv like her good old Vibracathedral Orchestra days.
2006 self-released cdr
Originally posted the first version of this here, so what's new? The first track, "Farewell Dream Treatment (aka Our Dreams Is Over)" is the full original decrescendo album in one track, while the second track "Destructive Crust Treatment (aka To The End Of The World)" is one of Gero's most depressing and unrelenting noise/industrial tracks, certainly no humor here.
2022 2 X cd on Inundow.
Too damn good to be true. John Olson on sax and noise, Ben Hall on drums, Hans Buetow on cello, free jazz/noise fuckery. 2010 cdr on Editions Brokenresearch.

Contains all the hot hit singles of Gero, such as the Yellow Trash Bazooka 7" (my first ever experience of Gero back in the tender age of 17). 2020 cd on Vis A Vis Audio Arts.
Live improv noise the way I like it: shouty, all over the place, clumsy, fun. 2004 cdr on Time Stereo.
Exploratory noise, field recordings and musique concrete by the Japanese Miki Naohiko. 1998 cd on Hasikamke.
Rudolf Eb.er bringing the sounds of the season courtesy of a Christmas dinner meal turned into a dysentery festival. 2000 cd on Tochnit Aleph.
One of the best short bursts of drone noise attack you'll be able to hear. 2005 b-card cdr on Audiobot.
What the title says. Cut-up improv noise and musique concrete of the highest order. 2013 cdr on Soja-Sauce Bolognese.
Static noise and heavy radio frequency interference looping and gradually closing in your ears and brain. 2005 cdr on Entr'acte.
Collaboration between MB and Frag (Stephen Burroughs of Head Of David!). It deceptively starts in a very hypnotic and psychedelic manner but it ends up being one of MB's noisiest albums in recent years, while of course maintaining its mind-altering basis. 2020 cd on 4ib Records.
