Nervous Noise
CD - Nervous Nurse, England - 2005
Track:
Lasse Marhaug: Soft Shell Crab
Reviews:
NERVOUS NOISE (CD compilation by Nervous Nurse)
This is almost classical in approach: Nervous Nurse started out as a small CDR label, but as there are some more funds available, they release a real CD, and like any starter in the nineties, they start with a compilation CD. Nervous Nurse is a noise label and the sixteen artists they invited are mostly Vital Weekly regulars in the worlds of CDRs and MP3s. Which is another fine thing of Nervous Nurse: we have a real CD and want to share it with those idealists of the CDR scene. So sixteen times noise = a massive headache? Of course it is to the uninitiated, but me thinks the overall quality is quite high. Good recording quality, but foremost also good performances by these bands, with surprising looks to the genre noise. There is of course feedback and distortion, but also the intelligent use of rhythm, processing of field recordings and digital manipulations. The lesser tracks are in a minority here, and at the same time there is not a particular standout. Lasse Marhaug is probably the best known featured artist, but perhaps names as Chefkirk, Zytrax, Monobrain, Fever Spoor, Andre Borgen, Xedh, Filthy Thurd and Xedh ring a few bells too. If you want to investigate more about noise and new directions, then this is the place to be. (FdW, Vital Weekly) |
