SIEGMAR FRICKE-neuro beton house(Beton Tapes-germany-c60-1992)

if thee idea ov ethnic sampling over early 90s house music with experimental touches seems unappealing: than you may wish to pass on this one.. personally find elements ov it intriguing; even if this tis not thee best release to grace thee ears from Siegmar Fricke [Bestattungsinstitut, Pharmakustik, Ambulatorio Segreto, Delta-Sleep-Inducing Peptide, Doppelwirkung, Efficient Refineries, New Tits On The Cock, Nome De Voyage 2]!! kind ov plays out like some sort ov megamix.. enjoy it or don't..

a different one for this 113th post for thee blog.. here we have thee first esoteric metal post!! [we shall still continue to primarily focus upon thee realms ov esoteric elektronikx..] this cassette was released on thee Incense label ov French artist Cyril Herry [Ashes To Ashes, Lecanora, Ninth Desert, Exotoendo, Salamandre, Sechres Mound, The Uncanny]!! some very obscure esoteric metal projekts provide trackx here ranging in influences/sounds from depressive/black metal ala Winter/ early Celtic Frost, and even some almost grunge sounding material as well!! not incredibly sure when we will be posting anymore esoteric doom / black metal releases in thee future, but there shall likely be others.. some may appreciate this / others may not.. so be it.. do as though wilt..

be(a)st wishes!!
