_wired trap_ on self abuse.  it's very loop-based like most of his work, but 
for some reason i find it entrancing instead of annoying.  very nice buzzing 
and scything noise-scapes made from the sound of wire sculptures, it has a 
texture that's a bit more tactile than the later releases.

_purification to numbness_ on rrrecords "pure" series is quite harsh, 
especially for anyone with little tolerance for high frequencies.  i think 
it was done using just the sound of one voltage controlled oscillator.  if 
memory serves, it's actually fairly random, less loopy, more "pure noise."  
should be available for <$8 from rrrecords.  i think the web address is 
www.rrrecords.com.

_substructural penetration_ is worth looking into, as i said before, and it 
does get pretty noisy.

> What's the Aube/Z.Karkowski Cd like?

haven't heard it.  anyone?  and that brings to mind a karkowski related 
question - has anyone heard sensorband?

apropo of nothing, i bought the reynols _blank tapes_ release on trente 
oiseaux.  pretty nice stuff that exploits a previously un-used (i think) 
glitch - tape hiss.  very nice processing work that turns simple white noise 
into textured, hissing sound sculpture that occasionally gets a bit louder 
than most oiseaux releases.  i dig it.
