Macronympha - Amplified Humans (Industrial Recollections, reissue)
What is the general consensus on this one?  First time popping it in this morning; stereo panning ecstasy is what I'm met with immediately.  Has tons of great sounds but also some audio artifacts that become glaring after some time.  When there are those aggressive "pops" between cuts, I cannot help but be taken out of the moment.  Not expecting even the likes of Macro to be immune to this, we've all made something with "the pop," but it is also something I have not experienced with them as much as I have here.  At least it's not as apparent on the B Side.

I shouldn't complain too much though; like I said, the sounds here are great and pretty easy to sink your teeth into.  It feels like the perfect balance of Pittsburgh crunch and Grind weirdness.  Think I am willing to call this the most psychedelic of the Rodger/Joe stuff that I have heard.  A repeat listen feels mandatory with it having a much shorter run time than your average Macro of this era (usually a C60 or more).

Emmergy Fx in the UK also make their version of this called the Gristle Throbber. I've only used it with raw contact microphone input so it sounds nothing like the guitar/synth demos of those Moth Hunter and Dirt Monger pedals.

Hands to, r&g, RLW, s&q .. all gold! After Con-Dom sermons, I would say k2 noise tournament series and self abuse murder series would be top best 7" collections..

Have you listened K2 noise tournament series? You can find most from youtube. Amazing stuff.

I've heard the ones with Smell & Quim and Aube.  Maybe heard The Haters once before but do not remember it enough to say.  Other entries haven't crossed my mind but curious to hear!

Tonight, I listened to Three Phenomena, the collaboration with AMK & The Haters.  I know that K2 pairs off really well with The Haters, but I'll be damned if I didn't think it's the AMK collab here that steals the show.  The turntable madness of that project fits perfectly with Kimihide's weirder and more playful side.

Some Bizarre records have reissued Coil's Scatology but I haven't seen it listed anywhere outside their band camp and you would think a reissue of this magnitude would be everywhere. Am I missing something?

It seems to be having a mixed reception with Coil fans.  I see quite a few people online suggesting that it is a bootleg because of some past challenges between the band and the label?
