"Whatever It Takes" C-24 (NRR13)
by Shredded Nerve
supported by 5 fans who also own “If It Makes You Happy”
"Whatever It Takes" is an amazing piece of composed experimental/industrial/(post-)harsh noise music. I thoroughly enjoy the compositions as they seem to have been carefully crafted and involve several different techniques ranging from something that sounds like a raw, crude no-input mixer feedback, distorted harsh noise textures and layers of heavy synth. It's also great to see yet another noise artist experiment with the use of minimal melody which adds to the haunting atmosphere of the album.

"The Church of Plenty, Empty" (NRR89)
by Brandon Lopez
supported by 5 fans who also own “If It Makes You Happy”
The title of this cassette is great, thought provoking and blackly comic bit of alliteration right there. The tracks themselves are no less intriguing either. My personal impression of these four string based improvised (I'm assuming) pieces is that of living sound that somehow escaped the confines of their respective instruments, instinctively and warily calling to someone recording their own noisy and fully independent emanations. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.

The prolific drummer and producer, a veteran of the Philadelphia and Antwerp club scenes, proves his rhythmic mastery once again.

Wild noise rock on Upset the Rhythm that chucks free jazz, punk, and drone into a blender and presses “puree.”

Ritualistic layers of quivering cello anchor this work of eerily delicate experimental electronica.
