LZ131 - Untitled (Zeppelin MZM4120)

More of the same....well, that's not true. This is more drum machine/distortion territory, ranging from buzzy electro to somaticsian cold synths and 190bpm breaks.

(To save myself typing, it's 5 Untitled tracks.)

Check Discogs, if you don't believe me.

And download.

LZ132 - Untitled (Schweiz Records 02)

Ralf Endrass and Christian Treuter bring together afro-cuban jazz, industrial, house, dub and all sorts of other nonsense on their releases, and in the mid-90s produced a series of records numbered LZ129-132, this obviously being the last. Side A is 26 minutes of pretty relentless power electronics, while the flip could have been written by Laurent Garnier, with its jazzy synth solos and all, it's actually quite enjoyable.

A Zukunft/The Future (25:52)
B Untitled (8:52)

Richard Devine - Polymorphic (Six Sixty Six 03)

Debut release from the soon-to-become sound design guru, Korg consultant, about 50 other jobs and occasional musician. As with all SSS records, this is pretty much as severe a work as Devine has done.

B2 Was not only heavily sampled by Angel Flo on S.O.D.O.M 007, but also by Unibomber on Distort 1, if memory serves me right.


A1 Refractor (7:01)
A2 Metalloid (6:07)
B1 Moving Plexor (6:02)
B2 Nekteric (6:32)
