Macronympha - Close to the Edge

An excellent hour-long noise assault from Macronympha, incorporating cut-ups from Chris Goudreau's Skin Crime. There is a large and skilled variety of sounds here, from straight-up harsh noise through to rhythmic sections and slow, droning sound. Joint CDr release on Self Abuse Records and Macronympha's own Mother Savage Noise Productions. Recorded in 2002 and released in 2003.

Emil Beaulieau - Dedicated to Charlie Ward

Another early Pure release from label owner and great jester of noise Emil Beaulieau. This is primarily made of chopped and screwed samples from various extreme sources, from G.G. Allin (G.G. Junkie) to Merzbow (Abby Soda) to The Gerogerigegege (Gerogerigaygaygayhomofaggotqueerpansy). A whimsical mess of sound.

Macronympha / Government Alpha - Obliteration

Split CD issue joint released on Macronympha-run Mother Savage Noise Productions and Yasutoshi Yoshida (Government Alpha) co-run Xerxes. Both artists are in their analogue prime and this is extreme and hard-hitting harsh noise which does well in delivering on the promise of the title and the BDSM/torture tools on the cover.
