"Christian Renou is a prolific French sound sculptor who crosses sound collages with electro-acoustics and noise. His compositions rely on dense, rapid-fire montage, wedding cacophony to dynamics, emphasizing both the elements of discontinuity and continuity. Brume is an expression of his soul, the same as it would be for a painter. He believes there is a similar state of mind between creating music and the act of painting, channeling his own music through a visual state."
Sönke Moehl (Low Entropy) - "Hardcore By The Book" Collection 2020 (PDF)
"In the last years, or, almost decade, I wrote various books - some about the past and present of Hardcore Techno, some about anarchist politics, some with short stories in a SciFi and otherwise settings, and some filled with my own breed of nonsense poems. I spread them by putting them on blogs or on download sites; but I guess this method more or less scattered them in all four winds, so I had the idea to put up a collection of the books I wrote in one release...
Legends In Their Life - The Unofficial PCP Book
A collection of texts I wrote on the PCP label and Doomcore, includes topics such as the artwork of PCP, rare and lost projects, record reviews etc.
The Hardcore Condition
A book about Experimental Hardcore in the 90s, labels, records, artists...background information and reviews.
Hardcore Techno And Anarchist Theory
My attempt to draw a connection between Hardcore and anarchism, explores political topics and those of art and culture in general. Tries to give an anarchist spin on the realm of art.
Anarchism Beyond Modernism
Anarchism, as a political movement, is more or less defined by being a phenomenon of the modern era, here I try to put some perspectives onto anarchism that transcend the whole modernist, 19th, 20th century mindset.
Der Paradiesplanet Und Andere Geschichten
Mostly a collection of SciFi short stories I wrote about the Paradise Planet, the only existing and functioning anarchist planet in the galaxy, also includes a few other stories. Only in German language yet, sorry!
Gugu Und Mehr
A collection of surreal short stories and kind of dada-ist, nonsense poems and lyrics which focus more on the sound of words and noises than on their meaning, again, only in German language, although the poems are actually not in any real language at all."

Noizepug/Sloppy Fyst - Labelography 2007-2009
Pissed/confused because I can't find all the releases from my old netlabel(s). There's still a grip of cores, metals, technos, and 'tronics splayed for your derision here (as well as a few vinyl bootlegs, unreleased trax etc)...

Crumbsuckers - Life Of Demos (Homebrew, 320)
From Blogged & Quartered 2012...
"These are the early Crumbsuckers demos with David Brady on vocals. They were posted about a year ago on the band's facebook page, from David Brady's personal stash of recordings from when he was in the band, These recordings, and a couple others, have been circulating the web for a while now, but I was never happy with the quality on any of the links I've come across. Some were loaded with tape hiss and recorded at an incredibly low volume, while others were so cleaned that the sound was completely washed out. So I decided to clean the tracks myself, as I tend to listen to this stuff a lot and wanted it in decent quality. Hope you like it.
The Crumbsucker Cave demo was recorded in June of 1983 at Nino Studios in Baldwin, NY. At the time of these recordings, the band had a 15 song set (roughly), including a cover of Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf", Chubby Checker's "The Twist" (included on the demo), and the theme song to Inspector Gadget. A great mix of these songs and early versions of Life Of Dreams songs can be heard on the New York Ave 1984 Rehearsals (check out the Old, Fast & Loud blog for that). Like most high school hardcore bands, the music was pretty basic and the lyrics were kinda juvenile. The evolution of the Crumbsuckers is amazing considering that they had written some of the material for Life of Dreams less than a year later. Listening to the Cave demo you'd never think it was the Crumbsuckers, but it's worth checking out. A long-lost piece of hardcore history for sure.
1983 lineup:
Dave Brady - vocals
Dave Wynn - guitar
Gary Meskil - bass
Kevin Carroll - drums
In early 1984 Chuck Lenihan is brought in on second guitar and Dan Richardson takes over on drums. By the summer on 1985 all the band's old material is scrapped and the band records their incredible second demo. "Working the Magic" is recorded at CBGB on a 16 track. The progression from the first demo to the second is like night and day, and now the band have a super tight, metallic and very unique crossover sound. After listening to this demo about a dozen times during the past few weeks, I have a great appreciation for it. At this point I may actually prefer Dave's vocals over Notaro's. Probably just because this is new to me, so the difference in vocals sounds fresh. Dave's vocals are more of a raspy yelling, as opposed to Chris Notaro's growly, almost death metal approach (much different than his vocals on the first Krakdown demo). I'll say Working the Magic is up there with the best of the NYHC classic demos of the mid-'80s. Glad it's finally out there, and hopefully one day this stuff gets a proper release.
1985 lineup:
Dave Brady - vocals
Dave Wynn - guitar
Chuck Lenihan - guitar
Gary Meskil - bass
Dan Richardson - drums
I don't have any info on the last batch of tracks in this collection. Pretty sure they're rehearsals from sometime in 1984. Much different sounding than the New York Ave rehearsals. Probably some of the earliest versions you'll hear of some Life Of Dreams songs. There's also a great version of an early unreleased song called The Solution. I'm guessing this is one of the last songs they cut before moving entirely in their new direction.
A few weeks after the recording of the CBGB demo, Dave splits, Chris joins, the band signs to Combat, and the rest is history.
Unfortunately I never got to see the Crumbsuckers in their prime, but I did get to see them when they played a reunion show at BB King's in NYC on August 3rd, 2006. The show was in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Life of Dreams. I'm not much for reunion shows (although i've been to my share), but this show was amazing. The entire 1985 lineup played (plus Tom Klimchuck from Pro-Pain), and even David Brady and Dave Wynn came out for a few songs. Some of the band members even had their young children on stage, it was just a really fun show. They played LOD in its entirety and it was flawless. Seriously. If you closed your eyes you'd swear they were playing the album over the PA system. Easily the best reunion show i've ever seen, and just one of the best hardcore shows in general.
Also, I think Beast on My Back kills. Underrated ripper."
Putrifact - Reh 7-21-90 (WAV)
Pre Incantation and Ceremonium!
"PUTRIFACT were a Death metal band from New Jersey & put out this rehearsal demo & a 7" ep a year later. Vocalist & guitarist Craig Pillard then formed (or joined?) the band INCANTATION in 1991 & the band made quite a name for itself. This tape by PUTRIFACT is a bit rougher around the edges & has a more early CARCASS/Grindcore feel about it. Gore-Medical inspired lyrics etc. You know the drill. Decent enough audio quality. 3 tracks in just under 9 minutes. Ripped from a 33 year old cassette dub."
