No Way Out: Coldsore / Libbe Matz Gang / Totstellen


.....of people not inter-networking - 
so this is brought to my attention: POLLUTANT by COLDSORE...........
but WE'VE HAD QUITE ENOUGH DRONEINDUSTRIALTORTUREELECTRONICS! 
Have we? It's possible.
How much great music is there to be discovered?
Stupid question.
On my death bed, I'll wonder what I missed.
No I won't. I'll be thinking of other things.
So here's this noise. From Finland. It doesn't matter where it's from. From The Zone? It's no picnic, roadside or otherwise. It's post-future, neo-sci-fi, after industrial or right now in the ruins/ construction site of something........Russian voices...English voices...your brain's bombed by radiation.........a sound generator turns the world negative.......blackest black/grey tones...gun shots in the echo chamber? It's unclear...as opposed to total noise assault, an attack of sustained tones and drones..........black hole electronics..........charred electroacoustics.......




.....from the same label (Totes Format): LIBBE MATZ GANG / COLDSORE split tape.....under the chemical cosh................alchemical......? .........orchestral dark matter disorientation.......it's just not music, it's another thing....sounds........how long will it take to convince the resistance that there's something else? a lo-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-ng time - fornever - this tape will not self-destruct in 5 seconds...it is self-destructing as you listen.......and taking you with it.........


...theme recurring: 'information overload....all the electronics around you poisoning the airwaves!'......
back in time, almost 17 years to the day............space 1999.......physical copies unavailable, instead, the booklet images in digital form.........but still........with ragged cut-up text/collage accompaniment this work makes total sense.....road drills counteracted by gentle piano played as civilisation goes down.......metal machine music par excellence from TOTSTELLEN.........about whom I know nothing but have heard a lot of in the last few days and it's all worthy of your attention....


(I pull out the earplugs - drilling still next door - ongoing for months gentrification of an already gentrified home - wankers - what can you say? what can you do? I would like to wait until the work is finished, then drill a hole in the wall and play this music through it to them, loudly, all day and night)
