Brighton’s Adam Lygo continues to impress with abundant releases representing his unique strain of excessive, airless guitar noise. Each of these three new CDRs (released, I think, on his own Hivemusic label) continues his visual insistence on deploying the severe black-and-silver colour scheme, upping the ante on Keiji Haino’s aesthetic, while his beautiful-ugly guitar...

Very nice to hear from 1980s veteran American avantster Matthew Ostrowski – it seems like years since I dug his rib-tickling Vertebra record for Pogus Productions. Well, here he be as one half of KRK rattling out some lively digital electronics on Acouasm (ACHEULIAN HANDAXE AHA 0802) alongside his partner George Cremaschi, who wields...
Heart and Crossbone is the Israeli noise-rock label which has provided us with much ghastly mirth in the way of evil black filth masquerading as records – for example Barbara, Grave In The Sky, and other great extreme bands with one foot in the Black Metal camp. Raxinasky are a Belgian combo playing the...
Here’s June’s dispatch of new releases and reissues from ESP-Disk’. In 1967 the Gato Barbieri Quartet went In Search Of The Mystery (ESP 1049). I never heard this particular LP by the famed Argentinian tenor player before, but hearing it now I would guess he’s paying a form of homage to a certain famous...

Ferran Fages and Dimitra Lazaridou Chatzigoga have teamed up, perhaps on a temporary basis, to form ap’strophe; Ferran plays the acoustic guitar, while his sparring partner handles zither duties. On objects sense objectes (ETUDE RECORDS 019), the listener should be prepared for lengthy stretches of exploratory noise-making, as both players seem determined to extract...
Here be three Vinyl Voots of fairly monstrous noise, quite a lot of it enriched with printed imagery of bones, deaths-heads, and skeletons. Stan Reed of Washington State was the concepto-genius behind cut-up noise prankster project The Broken Penis Orchestra, but of late he has turned his noise-dealing mitts to Blue Sabbath Black Cheer,...
Some very tasty science-fiction inchoerent noise escapades from Masayuki Imanishi, whose Land (DESERTED FACTORY DF-8) is filled with many distorted, swirling and hyper-edited adventures in boldly reverberating insanity. Unlike many noise artists who place too much faith in violence and volume, Imanishi pays close attention to fast-moving dynamics and juxtaposing of sonic layers, and...
