Australia's small-run noise label, MINIMAL IMPACT is proud to present a new batch of three cassette releases from domestic acts ECO TERROR, and ENJOY OUR LAST CENTURY ON EARTH, and POSIES from the United Kingdom. All on upcycled type-I cassettes with laser-printed jcards, the releases adhere to notions of agency through reuse and retroactive transcription.

ECO TERROR - Power Ambient Fog Hallucinations
https://minimalimpactnoise.bandcamp.com/album/power-ambient-fog-hallucinationhttps://ecoterror.bandcamp.com/album/power-ambient-fog-hallucinationMelbourne's ECO TERROR melds rigorous H.N.W. practices with grandiose power electronic emissions in Power Ambient Fog Hallucinations. Completely maximal, these new recordings demonstrate the poetics of blown out amplification as an elegant observation of the anthropocene. Edition of 32 upcycled cassettes with xeroxed jcards and labels.

ENJOY OUR LAST CENTURY ON EARTH - Active Mode of Inquiry
https://minimalimpactnoise.bandcamp.com/album/active-mode-of-inquiryIn summation of two years of active participation in live sound, MINIMAL IMPACT presents three new offerings of sceptical, self-referential harsh electronic cuts from ENJOY OUR LAST CENTURY ON EARTH. Formed in 2016 through a chance meeting in the institution, the duo have remained stalwart about their intention in negating monoculture in live music settings. Included are two studio tracks, and a live demonstration recorded early 2018.
Edition of 40 on upcycled cassettes with xeroxed covers.

POSIES - s/t
https://minimalimpactnoise.bandcamp.com/album/posies-2https://posies.bandcamp.com/album/posiesReissue of POSIES self-titled tape from 2015. An exercise in post-industrial decay, the four recordings on each side are cold, left-of-field reminders of an enduring, archaic metonymy, realized through ritual, synthetic noise and sound collage. First widely produced run, dubbed with permission from original private edition of 5 to preserve a bonus cassette only track. Limited to 28 colour toner copies on pink jcard.
