Reviews & Discussion: Some very early hardhouse/techno, and one of the most intense uses of that 'Hoover' sound made famous by Joey Beltram. I remember hearing this at the Spaceclub in Cologne in 1991 and going nuts with everyone else there. The dawn of a new era of techno noisier than the 'warp' style that had dominated up to then. Very buzzy and frantic.
Controlled Bleeding - Body Samples
Apr 02, 2003
One of the more extreme Controlled Bleeding records. For those who may not have had the experience, extreme in the Controlled Bleeding realm means crazed impenetrable walls of noise. Swirling and suffocating masses of screeching, blasting madness. Really it has to be heard to be believed. Very rare LP of course. Play Loud. Very rare of course. Oversize cardboard packaging of cd (about 16cm x 14cm) came with a booklet with text by the filmaker Peter Greenaway. I suspect this was originally a work of performance art, as the credits list such things as sets and lighting. Wonderfully odd stuff as usual from The Hafler Trio.

Sozialistisches Patienten Kollektiv* - Leichenschrei
Mar 15, 2003
The epitome of frightening electronic industrial music. Extremely dark collages of drones, metal percussion, and creepy samples that include interviews with mental patients and instructions how to make napalm. The distorted black and white photograph of masked musicians on the back only increases the disturbing atmosphere this record creates. A classic of its genre. Abandon all hope ye who enter here.
Criminal Element Orchestra - Go Around

Final Exposure - Vortex
Mar 15, 2003
Another important release for the history of techno. This record was more frenzied and wild than much of the techno that had come before, with a slow but steady increase in intensity as the track progesses. It is an early record in the career of both Richie Hawtin and Joey Beltram, and is also notable in that its structure has snare drums between the kicks and not on every second beat as was almost always the case at the time. | ||||
