UNSIGNED EXPERIMENTAL NOISE COMP #8. (cassette compilation by Unsigned)

How to define ‘unsigned’ is the question for today. The Hungarian label with the same name sure knows where to find artists you may never have heard of, but also some whose names you recognise. I name-checked Alexei Borisov, Instagon, Juice Machine, Radio Noise Duo, Noiseculptor, and Chefkirk on the latest. That doesn’t mean they are signed. Who is ‘signed’, as ‘we will release all your work’, to a label these days anyway? The musicians I recognised released their music on various labels many times only once. This is a long cassette, 90 minutes or so, and limited to 36 copies, which, with 24 artists, either means only 12 are sold, or the artists don’t get a free copy (or those are not counted of the 36). As with previous instalments of this series on the Unsigned label, this is filled with ‘experimental noise’, as the title promises. That’s not to say that we’re dealing here with 90 minutes of loud noise music, far from it. The 24 groups deal with many subgenres of all things electronic, emphasising the experiment. There are, for instance, the more improvised sounds of Alexeo Borisov & Alexander Cheskidov, Instagon or Flamethrower, but they are exceptions. Sometimes, a more dance-oriented beat comes in, with ROBotron, for instance. The majority, however, are more towards the drone noise variants, yet very few deal with a bunch of screaming electronics or walls of feedback. Ifjú Sátáns ‘How To Torture Nazis’ is an example of totally over the beats and noise of the top. Persefone is one of the few quieter moments on this album; ambient music, which goes along with that, is the minority of this album. The pieces are thus placed on the compilation that no two are alike, and that means a lot of variation and listening pleasure on this compilation. If you have a label and are looking to ‘sign’ new artists, this is a place to seek new talent. (FdW)
