Urna – Larvae C60
Brave Mysteries
Urna is a project from Italy that has been around for many years now, but has remained largely unheard outside of his own country except for maybe the early releases that came out on the infamous Slaughter Productions. I first heard his CD-R “Lares” back then when it came out and was very impressed by it. I tried tracking down his other work with little luck, besides the occasional disc here or there. So it was great news when Brave Mysteries announced they were releasing this …
V/A – The Moon is Hungry 2xC20
Intangible Cat
Four killer artists come together to create this great double tape set. Immediately noticeable is the great artwork job tying everything together here.

Side A contains the track Exalting Her Majesty’s Beauty from the Depths of Every Ocean, and from the …
Fecalove – Void, Chaos and Cum CD
Crucial Blast Records
Fecalove is an incredibly prolific project that has been releasing music since 2004. Despite that fact Void, Chaos and Cum is actually my first exposure to a full album by the project. Obviously as can be deduced from the project’s name the subject matter here is concerned with a variety of sexual depravity so if you’re not into that kind of thing you may want to tread lightly here.
The albums opens with a fucked up sample most likely from some kind of …
No Dreams – Pessimistic Substance C30
Depravity Label
Depravity label and No Dreams are the vessels of Omar Gonzalez a noise devotee based out of Chicago who also helps run the now infamous DIY show space The Rectum. He is an artist who is prolific and apparently unstoppable given that he is also a member of power electronics unit Machismo and filthy noise rock mongrels Rectal Hygenics. Is there an ass this man doesn’t have his fingers four knuckles deep in?
No Dreams’ sound seems to be one of much more subtle dynamics …
