zhark and ambush both have CDs out - the ambush disc (_mash the place up_,
released on vinyl in the US on wabana) consists of mostly/all tracks from
their 12" releases, based in distorted and fucked up jungle. the zhark cd i
haven't heard, but i get the impression it's more in a calm but menacing
vein than the 12"s i've heard on the label.
individually, i'd recommend:
potere occulto (somatic responses & christoph fringeli) 2x10" (praxis)
- dark somatics atmospheres w/scarier beats & distortion. tip.
somatic responses (just about everything)
- the 12"s on six shooter, uncivilized world, and deadly systems
are all profoundly disorienting and harsh, all worth getting.
hecate _hate cats_ 12" (praxis)
- seriously fractalized, fucked up beats. makes panacea look like
a big fat lazy german. her other releases (_negative world
status_ and _hecate jacks off the jackal_ [both zhark] are both
nice, but not as mind-blowing) comparable to venetian snares.
antichrist s/t 12" (sub/version)
- christoph fringeli & pure (the mego pure) doing satanic
techstep/noise.
din s.t. _in the case of..._ 12" (praxis)
- a guy from fever does atomized breaks/noise. seriously damaged
and chaotic.
laurent ho/ho.exe _syntetic_ cd+cdrom (uncivilized world/epiteth)
- seriously obnoxious hardcore techno that would fit in well on
ant-zen or hymen. a collection of his first 3 or 4 12" releases.
dan hekate _new skin 1_ 12"
- dark and synthetic broken beats. scary.
stella michelson/karnage 01 12"
- hyperspeed hardcore stuff, kind of uneven but brilliant in spots.
senical _dark organized incidents_ 12"
- somatics-like, but with more emphasis on the technoid rhythms.
v/a _bass bomb_ 12" (soundlab)
- worth getting for the a, which alternates nomex & dj scud's
classic ragga-noise "total destruction" 7" and i-sound.
geroyche vs. wintermute _letzte zuflucht_ 12" (kool.pop)
- sort of like christoph de babalon on lots of depressants.
and the venetian snares stuff is insane, as well...
