away for the day. Check. Dog tied up in the garden. Check. Windows and
doors closed. Check. Painkillers and glass of water at hand. Check. Cue
the music…and hit… ‘play’.
"Like music to their Ears Vol 2" is seventeen (17) tracks of
varied extreme power electronic music from Mechanoise
Labs, purveyors of all things loud and nasty, which is all you need
to know about this CD. Hard-on giving or vomit inducing, the choice is
up to your own personal taste. For the record my favourite tracks, in
no particular order, were the following: Nagasaki Fondue - great original
first track and winner of "funniest title for a tune" with ‘Masturbated
by a Cripple in a Wheelchair’. Control
– because they never fail to impress. Rupor Udara – a blast
from the past and a welcome addition to any serious noise collection.
DVT
– hardcore. Say no more. Cutman– nice strange squeals and
vocals. Mourmansk 150– suppressed aggression and vocals. This Is
Not Red Paint – hypnotic and, compared to other acts on this compilation,
fairly quiet. Wouldn’t mind hearing more of their stuff. Pine Tree
State Mind Control– ditto. NTT
– love this guy more than my wife. Worthy of the purchase price
of the CD alone. Angel of Decay – reminded me of MZ412
in places. A compliment. The rest of the acts, although not outstanding,
still offered enough air turbulence to knock me off my chair. Which can’t
be a bad thing.
Overall then "Like Music to their Ears Vol 2" gets a big up
from me and should be acquired by like minded souls.
