This outing from Gary Mundy's (Ramleh) side project Kleistwahr, is a rather interesting Musique concrète noise fest that sounds, for the most part, like a needle stuck in the run-out groove of a German marching song LP. Probably inspired by some early Boyd Rice.
This repetitive lock groove onslaught is punctuated by the obligatory speech samples and bursts of harsh, if not paint stripping, noise. The subtler and more experimental side of Mundy's projects; and one, which I may add, of the more preferable.

Here is the last volume of Ramleh's early years, which in this instance
is virtually a reissue of the "Hand of Glory" ep from 1983, plus a live
performance tacked on at the end.
The Hand of Glory stuff is a pretty accurate portrayal of Industrialised
slavery.This is the sound of the horrible machine that we are trapped
in the belly of. Plenty of disembodied screams from the dead souls of
industrial hostages of the past, skewered by the screeching microwaves
of the modern 'smart'(dumb) phone era, rearranging the DNA strands in
your brain. Play this music loud enough and you will cancel out the
world outside, like matter and anti matter.

If you enjoy sounds like swarms of savage bees fed through a cheap
distortion pedal, accompanied by screaming hostages locked in a cellar,
with lashings of blunt drill bits ripping through rusty plate steel?
Then this is definitely for you.
Or, why not spend an hour or so making it yourself?
All you need is a crap microphone, a crapper synthesiser, one distortion
pedal,one echo/delay unit, and a recording device. Maybe the odd piece
of dialogue recorded from some documentary about Nazi's to be
interspersed here and there ,feed it all through a cheapo mixer, and
twist the eq's a lot.Photocopy a couple of pictures of B-list Nazi's,
call your songs after the most obscure concentration camp you can find
on the internet, and scream lyrics about the Moors Murderers until you
bust a blood vessel. Instant Industrial style power electronics.
If you don't want your neighbours to think you are a latent raving
serial killer, then maybe you should just content yourself with
downloading some stuff that was made thirty years ago.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Ramleh's greatest cassette Hiss, volume
two.

Ramleh;- Noise Super group combination of Kleistwahr, Consumer
Electronics, and Whitehouse members; but then again aren't all these
people in every Power Electronics/noise band from the early eighties?
Listening to their records, you could easily be mistaken to think they
are all the same record anyway!?
Taken in isolation, these works are superb damaged pieces of
dysfunctional non-music, that challenge the listener in their very
definition as 'Music'; but, I'd struggle to identify the difference
between most of them, except maybe Whitehouse, and even they sound a lot
like Consumer Electronics, or vice versa.
This, three volume, compilation, gathers together the best of the early
cassette releases by this anti-super group; in this case from
"Onslaught"(Iphar 1982), and "31/05/1962" (Broken Flag 1982).
The normal adjectives of vicious atonal dissonant racket applies. Great
listening for depressives, and/or angry loners.
And, YAAAAAAWN, we get the obligatory Nazi on the info sheet above.
I suppose without Nazi's we wouldn't have anything on the TV, no
Methadone, and we wouldn't have landed on the moon, so they're not that
bad, are they????.........oh, hang on, we didn't land on the moon did
we?............Whoever, "we",are!

More droning noise fuckery from Gary Mundy's Kleistwahr. With sounds
ranging from having a steel plate pressed against your ear and a hammer
drill attempting to pierce a hole through it into your brain; to the
sound of a overloading Star trek Phaser set to kill.
This ain't party music, but it sounds how I feel at a parties; with
their hideous forced jollity, and lashings of Nero-esque fiddling while
Rome is burning 'qualities'.
This noise fest is a reanimation of what it must have been like to
actually burn to death in Rome while Nero fiddled!
