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 this EST review archive:
"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."

Perplex Barquettes - Snack Today (Bad Ming Tunes 0072)
3 tracks somewhere between speedcore and musique concrète from the aforementioned Michel Comte. If I read correctly, this release is made up entirely of recordings from a slaughterhouse, or something to that effect. Bad Ming Tunes is part of whatever it is that Gigabrother is supposed to be.
A - Holocaustic Vicious (4:24)
B1 - Raw Mars Wars (3:14)
B2 - Too Late (2:35)

EPC - Don't Want To Lose E.P (Fischkopf 024)
The first vinyl release from Brittany's Ronan Le Roux in 1997, and one of the last releases from Hamburg's Fischkopf. And possibly the most bizarre. A brutally lo-fi recording, laden with squealing and crunching percussion and a smattering of various computer files played as .wavs. Infectious Properties on the B-side is perhaps the only remotely DJ-friendly piece, but that aside it makes for interesting listening. This record stands as the first release from the Brittany producers, all of whom went on to produce several 12"s for Hangars Liquides.
Incidentally, judging by Discogs there seems to be a whole load of EPC CDrs and tapes coming to light. If anyone knows where to get a hold of these, please get in touch.
Tracklisting:
A1 R-624-2
A2 Where Do You Go?
B1 Infectious Properties
B2 Autoplasie
Info and photos here(To be honest I don't have a camera to take photos myself and I'm far too lazy to steal them)
And the release is here.
