Dotåbåtå - Experimental Procedure



I realize this isn't a great picture, but the batteries from my camera are dead at the moment and you won't find any other pictures of this releas on the web because it is super rare!
If Dotåbåtå wants this removed, I totally understand, because he only made three copies (as far as I know) and he released it myself. I could however tell you this is nothing like the original cassette, as I don't have very good equipment to rip cassettes to mp3's, and it all comes out mono as wel.
I realize that he specifically said "No Digital" on an inserted paper, but hey, what can I say. It's not that I myself will listen to this on my computer, I'll use the original cassette, but this blog is all about sharing music and I don't want to make duplicates of this cassette and distribute them myself, that would be even worse than what this pirate's doing..

Anyway. Wall-like noise. All analog. Pretty awesome. I'm sorry about the quality.

Released: Self-released, 2010, limited to 3 copies.

Cassa Ufficio Malattie Tropicali - Dolori

Official Sponsor of







I never got a physical copy of this one myself, as I'm a little low on money at the moment (you know all the stuff I've bought.. ^^(I also bought Ouroboros by Merzbow, I'll rip 'n upload as soon as I get it)), but it'd be definitely worth it. The album, how short it may be, creates a wonderful atmosphere, a soft wallnoise kind of thing intertwined with out of place chiptune blips and boops. It's really a one of a kind release.

Released: Monstres par Excès, March 2010, limited to 20 copies.

Cathedral - The Guessing Game


The only album by Cathedral I had heard before this one was Forest of Equilibrium. And let me tell you, in that situation this album comes as a very big surprise. Where Forest of Equilibrium is as doom as it gets, this one is as progressive as it gets, not in rhythm/tempo changes or in intricate riffing, but mostly just in the way they bring it. I hav no clue how their other albums sound, but I can say I became instantly in love with this one.

Released: Nuclear Blast, March 2010.

Heroin And Your Veins - Nausea



It's been a while since I posted his first album, but ut has been downloaded by so many people I couldn't wait any longer to post his second release. It's in the same vein (pun intended) as the first one, the same slow film noir sounding post-rock. It almost feels like the soundtrack to light a sigaret to.
He's also done a side project called pisse enuit, but I'll post about that later, for now you should just download this one and enjoy.

Released: Verdura Records, April 2009.

Boar + Dotåbåtå - Split



A split by this blog's two favourite artists: harsh noise installation Boar and dreamy drone delegation Dotåbåtå. I was thrilled to buy this from Dangerous Sounds (label) but when I first heard it, it was quite a dissapointment. It had neither of the artists good qualities, Boar's side wasn't too harsh, it didn't have the energy I was expecting it to have. And Dotåbåtå's side of the split had something unrecognizable, and most times I would welcome this, but this time it couldn't please me as much.
It's still something to listen to though. I'm not too fond of this release, as both sides don't quite match up, but each side does fit in their artist's discography. And the front cover in the jewel case was very pleasant to look at.

Released: Dangerous Sounds, 2009, limited to 22.

02. Boar - Never Ending Blackness (Brainwashed)

Boar - Man's Greatest Fish



We love the Boar-man. Harsh yet delicate. I was lucky enough to get this in the mail not too long ago, together with some other nefarious nutcracking soundbits which i'll be posting hopefully soon. It's more of the same actually, there's no real variation on the familiar Boar sound, but that isn't a bad thing.
The CD came in a selfmade plastic sleeve, consisting of two megatough plastic sheets stapled together. It was hard to get the CD out of that pvc prison, but it was worth it.

Released: Dead Pope Productions, November 2009, Limited to 40.
