Alternatively, go to the usual p2p place and you'll find someone with an Andomorph folder with most of those releases shared.Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-24215709460537967962009-04-10T02:16:00.000-07:002009-04-10T02:21:02.014-07:00Attila & A.N.T.I - Hiérarshie (Kornog)One-off limited 7" from the 'Brittany' team, laden with floowoorpy synths, chipmunked choppy uppy bits, whimsically structured and very unusual indeed.

Angel Flo chips in two tracks which are more monotonous and abstract, one featuring the old non-.wav-played-as-.wav technique to vary things up a bit, the second one is very strange indeed, probably barely playable in a set due to its farty kick and general sparseness. Armaguet Nad is a bit more DJ friendly here, Martyr Killer being a personal favourite.<br /><br />A1 - Angel Flo - Electric Coma(5:12)<br />A2 - Angel Flo - Organic Revolution(6:36)<br />B1 - Armaguet Nad - Martyr Killer(5:01)<br />B2 - Armaguet Nad - Cocacolaïne(8:54)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/Angel-Flo--Armaguet-Nad-Untitled/release/162546">Discogs</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/182424789/Angel_Flo___Armaguet_Nad_-_Untitled_S.O.D.O.M_003_.rar">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-16451099317011192562009-01-12T05:38:00.000-08:002009-01-12T05:51:47.020-08:00SpeedyQ's & Maxitrait - Untitled(S.O.D.O.M 002)And so the big uploading sesh begins, starting off with all the remaining records from Slaves of Devil our Master(except 10a, which is a compilation, and 13 which is pretty new).<br /><br />The first is arguably one of the most sought after, and was first introduced to many through the era defining DJ Freak @ Geneva tape.

Leonard De Leonard, as far as one can tell, is a bit of a maverick, and this label seems to deal with just about every genre imaginable. A brief glance at Discogs, his house, techno and 'illbient' releases might lead you to think that an attempt to do music of a more intense nature would result in a clichéd and uninformed product. But amazingly, the end result is a very cohesive and authentic record. Filthy and screechy enough to sit among the more severe French artists, with a strong enough sense of rhythm and occasional hip-hop references to comfortably slip into a Deathchant-esque set with. There's even a very nice and strange minimal breakcore-ish track thrown in for good measure.<br /><br />A1 Quand Ça Démage (5:16)<br />A2 Encore (6:19)<br />B Poulaxx (8:52)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/Unilateral-Unilateral/release/106335">Discogs</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/181316886/Unilateral_-_Unilateral___Musiques_Hybrides_9_.rar">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-2989878285831933762009-01-09T00:32:00.000-08:002009-01-09T00:43:18.354-08:00NewsWe now have a seemingly endless line of rips being donated by an old chum and now a great anonymous Andomorph benefactor. These are not 'new', but have been ripped over the years by both said benefactor, myself, and a few other people, almost like a private version of this blog. So, all these rips are steadily going to be unleashed here over the coming weeks. The first of this collection was up yesterday(To see what was uploaded yesterday, see yesterday's post), and the next will be up in 15 minutes, possibly a few more today.

There are two 12"s in the Hardcore Fever series, and 3 compilation CDs of the same name on Omnisonus, presumably the parent label. This one features lesser known producers Delidax(now producing Electro House of some sort, god bless them) and DJ Adess(AKA Stark Miller, also now doing some sort of house music, god bless him too). It also features the debut of a young La Peste with a surprisingly direct track. The rest of the music is very much of the Liza N Eliaz school of gabber. A personal favourite is DJ Adess' Acid Q.G with its gritty percussion and nice build towards the end.<br /><br />A1 Delidax - Miss Sucks (6:14)<br />A2 DJ Adess - Acid Q.G (4:57)<br />B1 Hangars Liquides - Pterodaktyl's Orgasma (5:07)<br />B2 Delidax - Defcore (6:53)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/Delidax-Hangars-Liquides-DJ-Adess-Hardcore-Fever-Extrem-Mission-Vol-3/release/311033">Discogs</a> (I'm not sure I like these new ridiculously long Discogs URLs)<br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/181200223/Various_-_Hardcore_Fever_-_Extrem_Mission_Vol.3_E_Child_006_.rar">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-17708546328097990362008-12-18T21:56:00.000-08:002008-12-18T22:03:21.667-08:00LZ131 - Untitled (Zeppelin MZM4120)More of the same....well, that's not true.

As with most of her output at the time, it's more akin to some of SPK's early hardcore-sounding gear than any actual hardcore at the time(or even since then). The mood shifts at the drop of a hat, with layered collages of atmospherics, treated vocals and what sounds like about 38 abused EMS VCS3s coming and going in the blink of an eye with scant regard for continuity. <br /><br />She(and her sister Stella, who will feature on the blog at some point too) has a flair for both the demonic and the absurd, and both sisters' work has a tension and energy unparallelled in most 'extreme' music. They demand respect on their own musical merits, neither exploiting or being held back by gender, and without ego or loud faux-punk 'attitude'. There is a false belief that in this area of music there are almost no women operating, but the truth is that, just like all musicians, the best ones tend not to be self-publicists. <br /><br />Anyone who has wandered onto this page from any of the industrial themed blogspot sites would do well to look more into these two.<br /><br />Anyway that's enough gushing, the tone of the next post will be back to it's usual stoic curatorship.<br /><br />A1 Dome (6:33)<br />A2 Pussy Cat (7:52)<br />B1 Dead (4:50)<br />B2 Terzorg (6:13)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/112552">Discogs</a><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/r2okh5">Download</a><br /><br />PS: Terzorg also accidentally ended up on <a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/142981">Axe Breaker by Curley</a>.

If you go to the PKG site, there is at least one audio clip for every record except number 02. Maybe it's some private issue with Ingler or Xol Dog 400, or maybe it's because it's the only EP out of nearly 40 of real unbridled invention.<br /><br />Main Damage is the only track that sounds like PKG at the time, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Lectune is very out there, very monotonous and psychedelic. Both tracks on the flip are some of Inglers most ferocious, B2 even employing some NKJE style cover-all distortion to neat effect.<br /><br />A1 Main Damage [feat. Xol Dog 400] (4:25)<br />A2 Lectune (5:38)<br />B1 Minor (4:10)<br />B2 Otoctone (5:08)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/21866">Discogs</a><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/uub6c0">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-65117660292427170832008-11-18T05:16:00.000-08:002008-11-18T05:43:38.578-08:00Fast Forward - Bhopal (Rouge De Colere 02)This was the first(I think) release by the french metal/industrial/speedcore 'band'. It's a rare thing to hear hardcore with actual guitars and the like, in an environment where producers thought nothing of lifting Slayer riffs and putting a kick under it.

Ripped by Helicopterface again.<br /><br />A1 Crazy Amazones (6:26)<br />A2 Rebirth Of Change (5:15)<br />B1 707 (3:48)<br />B2 Ex-Titanic (4:48)<br /><br />Also, I just found this nice <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4qS0vO6mSM">video footage</a> of him recording his Six Sixty Six EP in Total Output's studio. He also has a bunch of other clips of himself and a few others on his channel there, including a clip of Jeff Mills' first gig in Belgium in 1994.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/5687">Discogs</a><br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/156536556/Vdd-Energise_-_The_Return__Hardisk_02_-_2001_.rar.html">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-46880838159448094022008-10-16T12:33:00.000-07:002008-10-16T12:49:00.121-07:00Trauma - Abreaction (Intraveineuse 03)Intraveineuse is part of the big Caen-based Alcaloide/Kryzalide nexus, whose various labels range from pretty gritty stuff to 'techno'(Which, being French, would imply Hardtek), to your bogstandard 'Frenchcore'. This release is somewhere between the three. One side mid-speed kick-propelled numbers with some stock atmospherics, the other side has one 'Doomcore'(Aren't we throwing around the -core suffix today?), and some sort of sparse amen-break electro piece. It's not a big favourite, due to a couple of very easily recognisable kicks, but still of interest.<br /><br />A1 Big Break Induction (6:12)<br />A2 Ford's Syndrome (6:05)<br />B1 Audicore (6:11)<br />B2 Destructions-trieb (5:55)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/266661">Discogs</a><br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/154676526/Trauma_-_Abreaction__Intraveineuse_03_.rar.html">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-69034181877986887782008-10-14T09:49:00.000-07:002008-10-14T10:16:15.493-07:00Caleb Temple - Inter Sect (Zero Tolerance 006)Zero Tolerance(as far as I can gather) was related to the VFM/Dead By Dawn(Both of which you can read a little about <a href="http://history-is-made-at-night.blogspot.com/2007/09/dead-by-dawn-brixton-1994-96.html">Here</a> ) parties, and featured music by people associated with both nights. Not sure if Caleb Temple is a pseudonym of Warlock, Lorenz Attractor or Heist, or a completely different person, but if one was to make an ill-informed guess, one would say it was perhaps at least in part by Lorenz Attractor.<br /><br />3 fairly diverse takes on acid techno, the A side sounding like a slightly more sophisticated early Liberator track, getting increasingly driving and mechanical on the flip.<br /><br />a Inter Sect (8:23)<br />b1 Tentacle (3:41)<br />b2 Flytrap (6:13)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/136319">Discogs</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/153983264/Caleb_Temple_-_Inter_Sect__Zero_Tolerance_006_.rar.html">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-6384767008088501922008-10-12T15:21:00.000-07:002008-10-12T15:29:47.456-07:00UHT/Saoulaterre - Ultra Annoying Rec Vol 3Cavage figureheads go for a loosely Koney-esque outing on this Progerik sublabel. Lots of layered and ring-modulated kickdrums, slightly fragmented rhythms and and the occasional surreal hook thrown in for good measure. Thanks again to Helicopterface, who has now almost put as much into this blog as I have.

My copy isn't in the best condition but my turntable does have a 33 button, so I guess I win this one.<br /><br />This is from 1996, by the obscenely prolific and diverse Patric Krämer, AKA E-De Cologne, Test Tube Kid, EC8OR, and about 15 other alaises and collaborations. The whole proverbial gamut is run from guitar driven speedcore(including the blatant Lard rip), sinister soundscapes, never-ending ear piercing squeals and the occasional stock gabber synth, old TV/film sample, and silly little bleeps. Pretty much everything you'd expect from mid-90s Krämer all in one, all smeared over with a(sometimes extremely)lo-fi finish. Some lovely Gilbert & George rip-off artwork too, of which you can only see one side of on discogs, but I could have a scanner soon to do the rest. <br /><br />PS: Track D4 co-produced by DIN.<br />PPS: Typo on Track C2 is as is on the sleeve.<br /><br />A1 Used Against Us Remix (5:22)<br />A2 Distorted (7:48)<br />A3 Agitprop Troop (2:29)<br />B1 Enter Three Witches (7:08)<br />B2 Impulse To Destroy (8:58)<br />C1 Split Wide Open (4:00)<br />C2 You're Lieing Pig (5:00)<br />C3 Worringen (5:42)<br />D1 Fucking Bitch Called Walker (4:22)<br />D2 Forkboy (3:04)<br />D3 Widerstand (2:52)<br />D4 Thou Shall Kill (3:39)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/49708">Discogs</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/151911838/Eradicator_-_Agitprop__Fischkopf_014_.rar.html">Download</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753807676821092143.post-66087156342855194342008-10-05T12:51:00.000-07:002008-10-05T13:01:03.961-07:00Electric Noise Twist - The Electric Noise Twist (Vision 23)Shrill and bass-heavy industrial/jazz from Markus Kneubühler and Alex Buess(both of 16-17, the latter also of God, Ice and Phantom City), and also a young Christoph Fringeli. The following words are pilfered from <a href="http://media.hyperreal.org/zines/est/reviews/musrevs2.html">this</a> EST review archive:<br /><br />"For me at least, this label helps to define a new genre. This album, recorded in 1989 by a trio consisting of label supremos Christoph Fringeli and Alex Buess, along with Markus Knuhbühler, marks an angular collision of jazz, rock and hardbeat music, if such a thing can be imagined. If industrial jazz didn't exist before, then it does now! Heart-pumping drumbeats underlie fuzzy blares of noise, mixing influences from rock bass through to screaming jazz sax. The best moment comes with Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my image track? which mixes the noise, drums and almost John Zorn-styled sax very well. Some of the other tracks either lack a powerful enough or fast enough beat to really shift things along, or suffer from the general shapelessness that plagues a lot of improvised jazz. The idea's a great one: blaring sax and/or clarinet across a powerful boombeat sounds great, but this album really only has the noise without the get-up-and-go to propel it forward quickly enough. Interesting stuff which is worth a listen, even if it doesn't quite reach the target it seems to have set itself. ENT are hoping to start playing live extensively this year."<br /><br />Cheers to Helicopterface again.<br /><br />A1 My Trigger Fingers Itching<br />A2 Who The Fuck Are You And What Are You Doing In My Image Track<br />A3 Slaughter<br />A4 Choose Alienation<br />A5 C.A.Dub<br />B1 Media Assassin<br />B2 Twisted Hubbub N Din<br />B3 Synchronise Your Castor Oil Will You?<br />B4 Tell Laura I Love My Blue Heaven<br />B5 Time To Squeeze Out The Welchers<br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/151220862/The_Electric_Noise_Twist_-_Untitled__Vision_Records_23_.rar.html">Download</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/899548">Discogs</a>Agitprophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12164901787955026047noreply@blogger.com1
