some viking-looking pervert appeared in my living room one day and handed me this tape. and golly, it's a nice one! i love the fact that there's no list telling which artist is which: now i don't have to stare at it constantly, fearing i missed the artist change, hah! it's actually not so easy guessing who does which track, even if i'm quite familiar with the lineups other output (or maybe i just suck at listening to noise??).
seems like artists have taken this all-metal-junk concept seriously and taken everything out of it. there's no "typical" album tracks by UMPIO or SS etc., but something more fitting to the concept. most tracks sound live and some have a nice field recording feel to them. usually quite un-sexy couple of words "experimental noise" describes many of the tracks, but that doesn't mean it's some lame goofing-around. overall feel of the tape is very intense and raw. it's metal noise, for fuck's sake.
my favorite part is maybe the MANIA contribution (surprised if keith really can't tell it's his track, it was maybe the only one i could tell straight away who it is, hehe!). there's no low points really, some tracks just stand out superrior to the rest. missing out on this tape would be a mistake.
