CGC: "CGC" CD-R (Alienation, Japan)
"Chris Clepper's solo work of a member of "BAR" from Chicago complicated and delicate harsh digital sounds." Chris keeps his tracks short, sharp and to the point. John Wiese fans, take notice.

THE CHERRY POINT/LAP DANCER: "Mugshots Vol. 5" C-20 (Fargone Records, USA)
The Cherry Point, of course, is Phil Blankenship of Troniks/PacRec, formerly known as Lefthandeddecision and currently one half of LHD with Bastard Noise's John Wiese. His horror-noise offering is a gritty onslaught of rumbling bass with glistening high frequencies frantically rolling over the top. Grim and enveloping, the perfect soundtrack to freak you out on a dark night alone. Lap Dancer certainly rises to this challenge with an over-the-top harsh noise barrage of his own, a roaring static wall with a surprising amount of depth and dynamics hidden behind its daunting solid face. Twice as maddening on headphones. Sheer intensity. Limited to 38 copies.

CHINESE STARS: "TV Grows Arms/ The Drowning" 12' (Kitty Play Records, USA)

CIRCLE: "Panic" CD (Ektro Records, Finland)
Temporarily out of stock. Please check later.
"A new release from Circle, once again. This time these experimental veterans study the both ends of the previously unheard static / hyper-active scale. Soundwise they have clearly proceeded to the 21st century, jumping from limpid synthesizer soundscapes to wall-smashing "speed-kraut" bursts. The triptych construction of the album along with the cover art that portrays war and street riots raise various associations on the history and the current state of Western civilization."
Vocals sound like Buzzcocks-era Howard Devoto!

CIRCLE: "Forest" CD (Ektro Records, Finland)
" It's incredible how Circle always manage to maintain their trademark sound -- repetitive, hypnotic post-prog grooves -- even as they produce new albums with such distinct, different identities. Their latest disc, Forest, is another great, unique Circle effort. This time around, they've gone semi-acoustic, kinda folky. Also spooky and sinisterly-synthed. In a way, Forest is perhaps Circle's most "hippie" album. But there's a back-to-the-land, pot smokin' jam vibe here, although night-shrouded and mysterious, NOT rainbow-colored and dippy. This a Forest of nightmares, with whispering and groaning in the trees. Vocalist Mika Ratto's love 'em or hate 'em operatic vocals are shucked in favor of a mumbling, moaning, singin' the blues style. And, equally shocking, he's singing in English this time! Not that you can make sense of much of what's coming out of his mouth. And of course most of the time Forest is all-instrumental, spacious, suspenseful, grooved-out, darkness. The final, longest track dabbles in ambient, experimental witch-project drone before those Circle rhythms return and Mika moans his last. So good."

DARUIN: "Way of abandonment and compromise" CD-R (Alienation, Japan)
Brand-new work by Kazuya Ishigami. "This is not the 'NOISE', it is the 'Electronic Music'," says Alienation -- very abstract and spacious says I.

DEATHPILE: "G.R." CD (Hospital Productions, USA)
Their first official full length release, focusing on the Green River Murders in Seattle from the early 1980s. Dense and rushing power electronics and sado-ambient atmospheres. Fierce, verging on hysterical vocals and well placed and researched audio samples stand above thick and violent synth beds. By far Deathpiles' most cohesive, strong, and obsessive work fine turned with stark violent force and ritual atmosphere. Not to be missed for fans of sadistic power electronics!
