v.a-‎SADOMACHINISM-(Misanthropic Agenda-USA-1999)‎

Great compilation assembling an astonishing number of powerful tunes by a bunch of fantastic artists playing noise, industrial, abstract and more weird electronics goings.
It was released in a limited edition of 500 copies in elaborate metal packaging. Aluminium shell sometimes embossed with the album title, sometimes not, it is sold out now.

 The American Misanthropic Agenda Experimental label was created in 1998 by the noise artist known as Gerritt. This amazing label is still alive and kicking and you can visit their well-done webpage here, where you can check their latest releases, catalogue and news.

Enjoy it.

ABSURD N5- An Issue Of Absolute Nothingness-(Fanzine-Greece-2001)

Absurd was an all-English written fanzine from Athens (Greece) active in the early years of last decade. It does cover many aspects of the industrial music scene in Greece and beyond.

For industrial music scene here I mean almost all its subgenres and also difficult music in a broad sense.

The concept itself for editing and writing this issue  is quite genial and I prefer to leave the explanation to the editor :

This issue number 5 evolves into info about quite a few obscure, or less obscure music labels, musicians, gig organizers and music reviews.
In some ways, it looks more like a very useful bulletin with addresses and various info. 

Eventually, I feel this is a very great tool to research the lively international electronic deviated music scene of the early 2000s and at the same time a very nice example of the creative and passionate underground press. 

Thanx to Jason of 1000+1 TiLt Recordings for sending me this astonishing zine a long time ago.

Enjoy it.

v.a.-Insanités-(Korm Plastics-c46-Holland-1984)

This amazing sampler was released twice as tape in 1984 and once as CD-R in 1992. 
It is the "Best Of..." of an old label called Insane Music. 

The artists and the tracks are an exquisite example of early industrial and electronic music.

Korm Plastics was a Dutch experimental label founded in 1984 by Frans de Waard. In 1992 the label began operating as a part of Staalplaat, but this relationship ceased in 2003.

A great compilation for people into old school industrial.

Enjoy it.

CITIES IN DESOLATION-Demo,Anavyssos Session Pt.1-04/02-(1000+1 TiLt Recordings-Greece-2002)

Another cd and another project by my friend Jason, owner of the label 1000+1 Tilt Recordings a label covered in this blog many times and also prolific musician involved in many acts.

This project started as a trio and after became a duo.

Experimental music made with synth, cello, bass guitar, filtered voices and various machines. It was recorded during spring 2002 in a basement, my copy has two extra tracks, one recorded live in Mostar (Bosnia) and another one from their gig in Ljubliana (Slovenia).

The music evolves in areas such as ambient, drone, ethereal dub experiments and quiet noise.
This label is still alive and kicking and you can check its webpage here while a Soundcloud page is here.
A very big thanx to Jason for sending me this little jewel more than 10 years ago, for the extra tracks on my copy and all the useful info about it. 
Enjoy it.

v.a.-Treviso Underground Vol. 2:Atmosfere E Sperimentazione-(Not On Label-c60-Italy-1989)

The year was 1989 and someone out there released this nice sampler, many artists took part in it, I guess all the artists are from Treviso or, at the least from Veneto region in Northern Italy.

I have no idea how many copies were printed back then and who compiled it yet this is a great one.

If you are into experimental electronics, old school new wave and similar genres than you`ll like it.

Enjoy it.
