I downloaded these yesterday. Haven't gotten around to listening yet.

I like them a bunch. Some of the stuff I've heard reminds me of those Warp samplers... high quality throughout!

The cover for the new NWA comp is by Grant Hunter, who also designed the last Cyclic Defrost cover:

angry animals. vol.2 a bit too laid back. i like vol.1 more. Telafonica, Kyu, Raven, Loom, Brutal Hate Mosh. dig.

yeah, i like vol 1 more as well. only played 2 once thru so far though. improvised saxophone is really not my favourite instrument in the world however.

See, I liked a lot of the more downtempo stuff on the second disc - loving the opening track in particular. I liked that William Gardiner track a lot, too - sort of Glass/Nyman/Kats-Chernin-esque.

I wonder whether the discs will turn into gigs...

Yep there's a New Weird Australia showcase at This Is Not Art. Sunday October 4. FEATURING: Go Genre Everything, Polyfox And The Union Of The Most Ghosts, Brutal Hate Mosh, Lucia Draft, Alps, kyü, Moonmilk, Castings, Blastcorp, smRts, Gugg, Holy Balm

what city is that? somehow i had it in my head that This Is Not Art is some Newcastle thing.

Great series so far. Volume 1 was a cracker..

ah. thanks for clearing that up.

Trust your head, tiny. Also, this series is fantastic. Such a shame about the terrible name, though.

yep. like it in theory but the names turns me off quite. still the raven track on vol 1 is rather excellent. when are you gonna give us a full lengther sir? haven't heard the second disc though

there's a new one!

vol three.

same link as first post, i suppose.

hope it's good.

Ooh! I had no idea. Downloading weirdness now. Thanks, tiny.

i like that cover.

ooh, looks awesome!

just downloaded this - listening now. PYGF crack me up.

NOT HEAVY ENOUGH

we've been waiting all this time for you to come back and that's the best you can muster eldritch?

TRY HARDER. METAL.

I'd like to say that I've been thoroughly enjoying this new compilation. The opening Axxonn track is simply superb and I think Machine Death may be fast-tracking itself into this months number one.

I can't remotely comprehend how this new compilation is metal, but it's fantastic all the same. Nearly all of it seems to take its cues from the noise universe, which is fine by me - but why they called it ''metal'' I'm utterly mystified.

drum'n bass special next please.

if you can really call doom drone metal

Axxonn and Machine Death FTW, yes indeed.

It's quite bleak at least.

Can't think of any better new aus music than Phrase and Miami Horror. What they're doing with Snickers Sessions is going to make some of the best music of the year! SO EXCITED! Check it out!

I trust ur opinion on the internet

I like the comps, but don't think they're very 'weird'

Seems an appropriate place to disseminate the below information:

New Weird Australia, Vox (NWA010)

KUSUM NORMOYLE, PAUL HESLIN, AMANDA STEWART, THE DEADLY NIGHTSHADES, KUčKA, MIMIC MASS, HOLY BALM, MAJOR NAPIER, ALICE HUI-SHENG CHANG, DONNA HEWITT, SKY NEEDLE, FURCHICK, SCISSOR LOCK, MOSAIC MOSAIC, RONNU PANDA, RABBIT ISLAND and JUAREZ

Ooweewahwah! That looks sensational. Great cover too.

awesome!

if that cover is what I think it is... brilliant :D

woooooooooooooo

if that cover is what I think it is... brilliant :D

What do you think it is? Looks like a balloon in a stocking to me.
Anyway, this comp is fantastic, I am very recommend.

Good times.

It's ace. The only thing I don't like about this comp is that because it's co-compiled by Gail Priest, it doesn't have anything by her on it!

Spartak Album lunch tonight!
