Various - System Corrupt

The album opens with a Bill Hicks sample so you know its going to be a journey but definately not going to be too serious. The first track a nice ragga jungle hardcore track is by Al Corrupt who I have not heard before, this first track I like a lot. Most of the artists on this compilation are Australian as far as I know except for Core-Tex Labs from France and Anti Kati from NZ, most of the artists I have heard before and a lot have albums out that I have also. Fraughman has been around for some time releasing on Bloody Fist and his own Extreme Electronics label, his music is very very noisy and his new project along slightly different lines called Diablo Negro sounds fantastic also. Track 3 is a lot of screaming with fast hardcore beats and if this is something that turns you on then this track will please, it is by Passenger Of Shit who has a couple of CDR albums available for purchase. Track 6 is a slow beaty hardcore electro song that I find hard to explain besides what I have written now, found myself drawn into listening to the whole track very intently. Track 8 is by 7? who until this CD I only knew as a visual artist making zines, videos and designing the cd layouts for various local musicians, this is a short song with some Hawaiian music in the background (can't recall the name of the instrument but there is a smiling old black guy with dreads that gets about Sydney playing one, I have seen him in the pitt street mall and at circular key) with droning noises and screaming/growling over the top. The Pilfernators have a CD on Elefant Traks, one on Powerviolence, a few 12"s and I think they have also released some of there own CDRs, Null Object is about to release an EP on Clan Analogue, Maladroit has an album on Powerviolence and Mainstream is about to release a 12". Number 14 is an interesting story of a guy that was beaten up in high school, he also describes various other things throughout the song until the end when he sparks up a conversation with some friends about how he cannot get an erection anymore. As the Rebirth Of Fool Volume 2 was to experimental music, this album is a good introduction to the extreme hardcore music coming out of Sydney at this point in time.

perverted is right. system corrupt are an example of perverting not only digital hardcore but any other style of "electro" you wanna name. from the opening theme with dummy plug bass drums to the ADD shitcore blast of passenger of shit's "slice your rectal passage", to toecutter's "IQ puncture" which is not recommended to epileptics due to his abuse of frequencies, breaks, samples, and composition. everything system corrupt does is brutally devastating but also hilarious due to the aussie "smartarse with a sampler" approach to hardcore (check my favourite track Maladroit's "corner terrors" for the best example).

V/A 'SY/CO'–system corrupt-CD-BW artwork

Never heard of the Australian hardcore/noise/electro collective
System Corrupt, uh? It's about time you did.
A great zine ('no frills'), full of perverted corporate business adverts and. The infamous Goulburn Poultry Fanciers Society compilation : volume one is hacked and slashed pop hits from Britany Boobies to Wake me up before you go, next will give a big (but polite) kick in
Mr-Puff-Daddy-and-friends-from-what-corporate-hip-hop-became's arses. Experimental poetry on blood (or is it red paint ahaha) stained flyers. These people sell tee-shirts (and nice ones, too), they make great flyers and stickers, broadcast radio shows, organise free parties, turn pop 7" into noise miracles by changing the place of the supposed-to-be-center hole.
They touch and pervert and make art of almost every crap you can think of and you're still laying in front of your TV whining about how much tired you are ?/ And now this comp. Distorted-till-death jungle drumbeats. Rhythms so fast your automatic BPM counter died merely watching them. Well chosen and very funny vocal samples. Overall an excellent comp for those days when this extra stamina is required to (go to and) work or play your favourite quake like, doom-like, unreal-like or whateverthehellthislatestwolfensteinclonein3Dis®-like.
/Highlights ? Yep : Null Object and its ambient approach of rhythm-driven brainwashing (best track on the comp); Fraughman and
'oh my what did YOU do to my guitar riffs'; Core-Tex Labs who seems to have hacked a tape of French TV's Worst Of and delivers a 5 minutes binary attack, Mute Freak with a less straightforward approach of beat torture manages to avoid the clichés of electronica and Anti Kati, who's got a system and it works (or so they say, with samples from The Day the Earth Stood Still).
