big time crash bang 2008 (1) (20:32)
big time crash bang 2008 (2) (19:36)

2008 release ; impressively monolithic pair of side-length pieces from the haters’ gx jupitter-larsen ...

as soon as the energy-levels hit their stride (basically within seconds of each piece’s beginning), it’s pretty much non-stop destruction as brakes fail, tires squeal, & glass is shattered ... i felt oddly calm after listening to both sides at a fair clip (a possible alternate use as audio therapy ?) ; perhaps this after my inner teenager’s fists got tired from pumping along for 40 minutes ... riotous !!!

rrrecords press release...

gx jupitter-larsen - big time crash bang 2008 lp

the next time someone makes that old joke about noise sounding like a car crash can offer this lp as proof, its nothing but the sound of car crashes, all mangled up as only gx can do it - tires squeeling, glass shattering. metal crunching, wrecked, totalled - screeeeeeeeeeeee smash crash screeeeeeech smash smash crash - quite possibly the perfect noise album, gx says its his best lp to date, i'm inclined to agree - wear your seatbelt

oh yeah, full color printed cover, it looks beautiful - 500 copies

busratch “tokei nikki” long playing record

the dream
memory lost child who awakens from dream
99 lock grooves

january 2010 release ; the debut lp, simultaneously the last issued recording by the duo of takahiro yamamoto & katsura mouri’s busratch, a decade-long-running & quite prolific turntable duo with a series high-profile collaborations (hijokaidan, keiji haino, tatsuya yoshida, otomo yoshihide, computer soup) under their belt(s) ...

one side of deft, well-considered electro-acoustic improv(s) ... then a woolier side of found-sound lock grooves (listen to the sound-sample for a 3-minute needle drop that gets progressively better ; i’d love to know what all of those weird synth records are towards the end !!!) ...

rrrecords press release...

just came out today...............

rrr-999 busratch - tokei nikki lpi thought it odd that a turntable project would have a bunch of cds but no records so i asked them if i could put out their 1st lp - and as these things go, i just heard they decided to pack it in and start some new projects - so not only is this their debut lp, its also their last = go figure

side 1 = two elegant contemporary avant garde compositions
side 2 = 99 lock grooves

august 2009 release ; vinyl debut from the duo of jeremy nissan & ryan woodhall (both of yellow tears fame, the latter also in throat, doubling solo as hands rendered useless, the former teeny bopper) ...

anything but by-the-book power electronics, with the two incorporating almost eai-lineage high-end squeak / low-end rumble sine-tone dualisms into the fray (along, of course, with pounding kick-drum blow-out & whitehouse-lineage shouted euphemisms - listen to the sound-sample) ...

contrary to popular legend here's a 14-year-old philip best single-handedly inventing all-out noise in 1981 (while merzbow was stuck in his bedroom trying to emulate the abstract nww on cheap cassettes). the japanese noise style started much later in the 80s than most people realise.

april 2009 release ; available at last ; the michigan installment of rrr’s regional noise boxed-set series, covering latter-day activities in & around “the wolverine state” ...

naturally there are a multitude of tracks from current / former wolf eyes members & acolytes, but i ended up being the most impressed with the efforts from redrot (odd, sliding electric bass & almost aphex-twin lineage feedback-squeal beats), evenings (harsh, zap-heavy electronics), cotton museum (woozy electro-acoustic improv), and mammal (ditto on the drum-machine tip) ...

quite reasonably priced, with the 6 lps in plain white sleeves slid inside a silk-screened / decapitated bags unlimited lp mailer coated in an assortment of visages of state-dwellers / originators offering hours of party-fun for all within eyeshot ... highly recommended !!!
