Primo noise rock and noise, harsh, disturbing. Collection of artists, likely all Bay Area including KZSU Day of Noise stalwart Botched Facelift. On par with the most demented Boyd Rice/NON, Death Camp, SPK, Controlled Bleeding, Merzbow. Beautiful stuff, not for the faint of heart. A tribute to the band Rudimentary Peni, whom I hate to admit I am not familiar with (despite them being contemporaries in the early 80’s hardcore music scene I was integral in at the time). I suspect that if I were I’d have a much greater appreciation for this than I already do. Fantastic stuff.

1) (2:45) blast out harsh noise rock with drums, scream vocs and noise 2) (2:05) harsh electronic noise, sparse somehow 3) (1:53) creepy noise with deathly screaming 4)* (4:08) creepy minimal noise with a toy piano like sound and a looped weird vocal sample 5) (3:48) collage of weird sounds, a voice over prayer and other organic silly and creepiness 6)* (1:06) harsh noise blast with demonic voice 7) (7:27) another brief voice/sample tape loop, hypnotic as noise bed evolves, harsh but pleasantly droning 8) (3:18) a lovely noise drone 9) (5:41) ultra-harsh noise with a creepy voice, paint peeling harsh
