Rude Form should have been picked for the magazine. 5.5/6 for sure [purely going on the whole "there is no such thing as a completely perfect album" thang]

ooh, i didn't realise i'd not included it though... want me to dig out the text and send it over?

Is it sad that I wanna read it too? lol

I honestly haven't heard Rude Form, to be entirely honest Citizen Besty.
I was actually going to ask you to reccomend me some noise, as I recently realised it was a little silly that I'll happily listen to Mike Patton making a bloody stupid racket for an hour, or Sunn O))) making three year long riffs but won't listen to explosions and yelling.
Just not utter shite like Minoise :p

Skullflower

Actually, I quite like what I've heard by Skullflower.

I don't like Skullflower all that much. Live they bored me to tears. They seemed to spend the whole time setting up, and when they did finally kick off they stopped after about 30 seconds because there was apparently "to much reverb". We like to much reverb!

Besty: I'm not sure what to recommend. From what I can glean from your musical tastes you don't much like the KOVOROX Sound/At War With False Noise stuff I adore. One artist i'll recommend to anyone interested in power electronics is You might remember seeing him in the powerlines section a few issues back. His music drips with both menance and beauty and is often (dare I say it) quite catchy. This is especially noticeable on tracks like The One True Stillborn and With These Two Bare Hands... Even if you don't like noise you might like the industrial evil ambience on offer. If your then feeling a bit more adventurous you can listen to the chaotic clatter of songs like Body and We Suffer In Silence.

Thinking about it you might appreciate some of the more old school PE/noise bands like The Grey Wolves and Throbbing Gristle. In particular look up Not Your Country[/i[ by the former and [i]Urge To Kill by the latter. Both extremely violent sounding but memorable tracks. TGW and TG have plenty of modern day admirers that are clearly influenced (directly or indirectly) by either/both bands. has a uniquely hopeless and cynical edge to his otherwise eclectic output that I quite like. There is a musical, even drone aspect to his music that sounds like a logical entension of TG's Slugbait track. Listen to The Fifth Wife on his myspace to see what I mean. Its a bit livelier than some of his other work.

Check out Content Nullity's friend list for some equally interesting acts. I get the feeling you might like some of the more 'industrial purist' output, as opposed to some of the irreverent and ironic stuff I indulge in.
