1. Pthalocyanine- 25 tracks fer one- Planet U- As much as I had
trepidations about the Planet U label, this release is frankly brilliance,
none of the silliness of the Paradinas stable, just dark halls of madness
and fire...breakcore and noise from the end of time, arranged in jazzy time
signatures, clapping into your skull like tractors, all noise everywhere,
bells in the background, bells!! and that's just the first track...up there
for best of 2001 already...
2. Masonna- Sonic Devil- Pinch a Loaf 15 - More Masonna what can be said?
brilliant screaming with ribbed noise and chunnel death of witnesses, more
psychadelic than some of his other stuff.
3. Luc Ferrari- Unheimlich Schon- little 3" cd - sounds of a giggling girl
lost in the wash of musique concrete, sunk into the echoes...wonderful.
4. Francisco Lopez- untitled 104- black metal remixed...sounds like it would
be wank, but it's seriously amazing...ethereal drums loop in and out, the
death of viscerality is felt in this tomb-like, endless destructive mix of
grinding death. lopez always impresses, truly an innovative performer.
5. Crom Tech- ??? - Gravity 33- the most brilliant hardcore band out there
at the moment, no language to recognize, no time signatures to fall back on,
just crazy guitar and drum for 30 glorious minutes, highly recommended, on a
whole new level.
6. Daedelus - ??? - Phthalo ?? - Sorrydon't have the title, great
combination of the sour beauty of sunny days and the plodding destruction of
digital noise, highly recommended, come see him at Klang Klang and
Candlelight.
7. Riley Lee/ Gabriel Lee- Satori - Sona Gaia productions- koto/bamboo
flute music from the mountains of the netherlands...somehow it works.
Now Reading:
1. Anarchy: A journal of desire armed 50- In depth on anti-capitalist
actions worldwide, seattle, philly, LA, Prague, press reviews, bookchin
bashing and more...from the primitivist stable so be warned...
2. Ideology and the Evolution of Vital Institutions- Earl Thompson- econ
professor gave me this, solid deconstructions of the IMF and WTO as
worldwide capital coups using precise economic logic and free-trade
diagrams, interesting if often over my head.
3. Grooves- issue 5- from the IDM stable, but warmly recognized by me, a
superior journalistic endeavor, interviews with oval, atom heart, freeform,
dat politics, datachi, lots of reviews and wonderful layout, some stuff on
Pthalocyanine (big ups!).
4. Objection to Procedure 3- ok ok, a plug for my shit too. christoph
fringeli, somatic responses, noizecreator and sol evil...plus criticism.
5. Libertarian Municipalism- Janet Biehl & Murray Bookchin- post-marxist
liberatory social theory, worth reading after all the greens bash the guy.
Anxiously awaiting:
H on Praxis
Somatic Responses on Ant-Zen/Hymen (?)
Acid Enema on Widerstand
Minion/ C Datakill split on Eupholus
Datacide 8
Klang Klang (event)
Candlelight 007 (event)
