Inhalant ‘Kill Yourself’ – Pro Records – tape-nice homemade package

/Listening to tapes is a very complicated task here. The only cassette player we have is our old Fostex 4-tracker (the ‘press rehearsal+stop for normal cassette speed’ type). Every time I get a tape, I pray it’ll be worth the mess. Something good about this one is that if I did not like the tape and got tired of the 4-tracker, I could easily kill myself with the enclosed razorblade. I’m still alive and writing the review so you guessed I liked it. Quite musical for pure noise I must say, though some dynamics are lost by tape recording (and *that’s* a pity, because listening to this at low volume is not so adequate and the noise is simply too noisy at high volume). I especially liked the ‘Kill Yourself’ track, ambient noise with tiny bits of true melody inside. May I suggest something, Chad? (Chad is the man behind the walls of distortion) Go and buy a CD burner and some CDRs (and find some cracked mastering software while you’re at it), your music deserves it.

Invaders from Mars / de hondenkoekjesfabriek split-DVDR

/An astonishing concept: a series of short videos all based around a visual concept (koekjes’ usual alien drawing/collages or whatever they are they’re great) and featuring glitchy noise by Invaders from Mars as a soundtrack. You access the videos via a DVD-type menu and the computer autorun idea is really neat. Too bad the music is just generic computer noise but even with it, this is so stuffed with great ideas it’s worth having.
