REVIEWS :

Strange how things go ... I suddenly find myself reviewing a CD which was released some time before the birth of Christ, but was recorded in ... 1992? This is possibly on of the definitive compilations of the last few years, and probably needs to be reviewed every three to four years, or every time you're yearning for a damn good session of synapse-bursting weirdness. Minus Habens has emerged as one of the finest European labels, and this release reads as a virtual who's who of the underground experimental scene, without wandering into the tried and tested waters of Zoviet France, Nocturnal Emissions etc. Sigillum S, Skullflower, Ramleh, Tietchens and the Grey Wolves, all turn in their usual performances, with some astounding craftsmanship from Phallus Dei and Jouissance, amongst several others. If you got hold of a copy of this a couple of years back, dust it off and remind yourself of how great things were way back then ...
