Lyoto Music ‎– "Lyoto Music" (Aquilifer Sodality ‎– 1AE 10011) 1984

Now we present the 'Blind Faith'* of Italian Industrial, 'Lyoto Music' and their eponymously titled cassette called.....er......"Lyoto Music".
At least, unlike the aforementioned 'Blind Faith'they at least had a naked consenting adult on their cover ,rather than a nude pubescent schoolgirl(who looked disturbingly like Robert plant?!) holding a model aircraft. We,civilised humanity, definitely needs an operation yew tree* investigation on sixities rock monsters....they'd ALL be banged up I can guarantee it.Unless they use the infamous Pete Townsend defense plea,and call Under-age sex.... "Research"!?
This Italian Post-Industrial Super-Group, featuring the bloke from Mauthausen Orchestra and the bloke from Swastika Kommando, present two sides of yer standard Italian Power Electronics, resplendent with lo-spec artwork of an un-named female being,for want of a better word....'Fisted'.
When this came out I was naive/young enough to have dismissed the act of 'Fisting' as an urban myth.I now know better...NOT...I may add, to having experienced this dubious pleasure myself,giving or receiving ;but I MAY have seen video evidence from an un-named web based emporium that offers such specialized entertainment for the discerning self-whittler*,free of charge.
So, what i'm saying is,Industrial music is ,by far, morally superior to all Classic Rock.......BANG 'EM UP! 

*Hideously sexist sixties rock supergroup featuring Clapton,Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood and Rick Grech (Who lived round the corner from me in my childhood council estate in Leicester,wheelchair bound, when his star had fallen with a massive crash!).

*UK Police investigation into sex abuse in British TV triggered by the Jimmy Savile scandal.

*a slang word for a 'masturbator', which one gleaned from "Beavis and Buttheads Ensucklopaedia"....a classic tome that should be on the required reading list of every school.

Various Artists ‎– "Trial By Ordeal" (Broken Flag ‎– BF 31) 1983

Trial by Ordeal was the preferred method of finding out if that old hag from the shitty end of the village really was a witch. If she survived being held underwater for an inordinate length of time she was obviously a Witch and would therefore have to be burnt at the Stake...which apparently witches could not survive.
This tape is something similar, and if you survive sixty minutes of MORE Industrial sameness then you should probably self-immolate yourself before the Witchfinder general,or the Police, ring your novelty doorbell.
That said, probably the best way to listen to Industrial Noise is in the form of a compilation.Even in the Industrial corner that many acts have painted themselves into, there are subtly different shades of conformity available.Luckily we have Giancarlos Toniutti to provide some pretentious avant garde noise in between the balls to the wall stuff from fellow I-tie  Mauthausen Orchestra and Whitehouse copyists Ramleh. The other Italian act on the list LXSS (or Laxative Souls), also provide some welcome respite with some gentle echo laden Industrial Percussion. 
So, all-in-all, as Industrial comps go,this is a less dull one. 

Tracklist:

A1 –Giancarlo Toniutti - Some Fibres 5:55
A2 –Ramleh - Emaciator [1982] 3:58
A3 –This Body I Mutilate - Carnal Direction 1:10

B3 –LXSS - U.I.K. [Pt.1] 5:31

Mauthausen Orchestra ‎– "They Never Learn!" (Aquilifer Sodality ‎– 1AE13019) 1985

They'll never learn will they?
Whom is the 'They' he is referring to? Victims of death squads, members of Death Squads,the bosses of the Death Squads? And what exactly is it that they should be learning? How not to die from a bullet to the head? How to kill people better? Which poison gas to inhale,like a consumer magazine for perpetrators and victims of Genocide......"Which Pogrom?"
Well I'm sure Zoppo knows, as he obviously intends the 'They' in the title, to be construed as 'The Human Race' in general.Whether he included himself in that demographic or not is unclear.
Us discerning misanthropes always tread a thin line between being labelled pessimists or arrogant, when one is simply making a simple observation that the Human Race in general, including myself and the late Zoppo, are incapable of getting on with each other or the Planet.There is at least 2 or 3 thousand years of history to back this statement up, from the ancient times of 'BF'.....Before Facebook.
Basically, let's just give up and accept our fate....whatever that may entail.We may be delightfully surprised, but I doubt it.
And the answer to the perfectly reasonable question 'will they ever learn(?)' is printed across the cover of this C-60.

PS. his tape is as noisy as fuck!

Mauthausen Orchestra ‎– "Vernichtung Lebenunwerten Leben" (Aquilifer Sodality ‎– 1AE06006) 1984

Well.....the literal translation of this album title is, "The Annihilation of Unworthy Life"!.....I wonder what that's a reference to?
You guessed it, I yawned it! Another contribution to 'Holocaust Fatigue Syndrome', I'm sick of hearing about it like it was the only genocide that ever happened in human history.....and there were an awful lot.There's even one happening right now in Myanmar. Conveniently ignored,because it doesn't involve white Christians,or Jews, or rich people.It's only Muslims, so there seems to be an acceptance in the current political climate. And us, in the 'west', probably think that those blood thirsty Buddhists,an oxymoron if ever there was one, are doing us a favor. And we wonder where terrorists come from?
If Mauthausen Orchestra was still operating today, he'd still be obsessed with the Nazi Genocide,even Yugoslavia wouldn't get a mention,which happened just over the other side of the Adriatic sea from Italy.It was only Muslims again I suppose?
Yep,its noisy, like dragging a few meters of rusty razor-wire through your ears and cerebral cortex.

Mauthausen Orchestra ‎– "Necrofellatio" (Peu Une Étiquette) 1983

The amplified space between radio stations,malfunctioning machinery and a nasty sounding shouty man tell me that its yet another cassette by the Mauthausen Orchestra.
I'd like to think that these 'Power Electronics' tapes all sound different,but I'm sorry to report that they don't.Its that 'Van Morrison Syndrome' again, and to these desensitized ears, good as it is, I found myself stifling a few yawns, then fumbling for my Flock Of Seagulls collection once more.

Mauthausen Orchestra ‎– "Mafarka" (Aquilifer Sodality ‎– 1AE12017) 1984

Pierpaulo Zoppo's unhealthy obsessions with extreme sex, perversion, tortures,disease and.......er......oh no, not Nazi's AGAIN!?.....manifest them selves in this, admittedly very samey ,but consistently brutal distorted noise collages. Any of his cassettes from 1982 to 1986 are highly recommended for any dysfunctional sociopathic loner to vent his,or rarely, her, pent up anger at the human condition and the world in general.It's a soundtrack for that moment when you really see what is served up on your dinner plate.

Mauthausen Orchestra ‎– "Conflict" (Aquilifer Sodality ‎– 1AE02002) 1983

Staying in the Italian Industrial belt, here we have the extreme end of this particularly noisy spectrum with, the now very dead, Pierpaulo Zoppo's Mauthausen Orchestra project.
We are definitely entering the 'Power Electronics' zone of Industrial music here, Italy's Whitehouse compared to Maurizio Bianchi's Old School Throbbing Gristle variety.
At least he named himself after a forced Labour camp rather than one of the alleged 'Extermination'camps, so he's not allying himself with the more extreme end of Nazi politics; probably more out of ignorance rather than consciously.
The music,if thats what you want to call it, is the,now, well-trodden path of napalm intense sand blasting noise that could dissolve your ears if your amplifier could ever go up to eleven.
A true innovator.

Various Artists ‎– "Hate's Our Belief" (Aquilifer Sodality ‎– 1AE 03003) 1983

More on our theme celebrating this new age of the Politics of Hate. Another jolly compilation from an enlightened era in comparison to the dawning of this New Dark Age on planet Earth. The inhabitants of which seem to make the same mistakes again and again. Some 'Brexiter'(part of the same 'popular' uprising as Trump) suggested that I learn some history(whatever he meant by that???), but these narrow minded proletarians seem to be doomed to repeat it......and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

So here we have some charming popular themes that were regularly showcased in the recent US election and that absurd Brexit referenDUM; like Sexism, Racism, Sexual Assault, Racial violence, political violence, McCarthyism,Big lies,stupidity,and, oh yeah...stupidity.

Except these themes as used by the artists involved here are meant not only to shock, but also entice critical thought about racism and bigotry.

Those involved in the political nonsense that has let loose the caged monster of intolerance,have no such noble objectives....they actually fucking mean it!!?.....now that is Shocking!

M.B. ( Maurizio Bianchi ) - " Symphony For a Genocide " - ( Broken Flag Cassette BF 18A) 1983

(Originally Posted on  Friday, 8 June 2012):

On the day the millionaire intellectual giants of the England And German football teams tour Auschwitz watched by the worlds media. I thought it fitting to post the 1980's Industrial noise classic 'Symphony for a Genocide'.
Knowing the brain power of some of the England team, they probably think 'Snooker loopy' by Chas and Dave is about genocide!?......(in case Wayne Rooney is reading this; genocide is when some naughty men systematically kill lots and lots of people.)
It's even doubtful that these overpaid, self-important dumb-asses have even heard of World War Two,and think that Hitler was a fictional character from them DVD films; a bit like Blofeld from James Bond, who they think are real historical figures!
We could really do with the French team going as well, as France seems to have a real bad case of Holocaust denial, and a shit load of complicity issues to deal with.

 Altogether a sonically accurate portrayal of industrialised mass murder, totally lacking in the sentimentality and emotional pornography that usually accompanies the subject.

M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi) - " S.F.A.G. 81 " - (Broken Flag Cassette BF 18B) 1983

If you've ever worked in a Factory, and I never have, this is what it theoretically sounds like. Like that moment when you've just sliced your pinky finger off on the meat packing machine, and you slowly fall to the concrete.Semi-consciously the evil concoction of slavery and consumer greed mixes with the funkless rhythm of the pie machine;as  fed through the works tannoy, to create an horrific symphony of droning torture.
What have we done to ourselves? Slaves of freedom,or freedom to be slaves. Just say NO!...or better still just say FUCK OFF!
We also oppose all dogmatic verbal systems!

This tape - very good.

M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi) - "Mectpyo" - (Grand Mal edicions 1985) 1980

A Spanish release of an earlier self-released cassette from 1980.
Sounding like an approaching doomsday machine, crushing your nuclear bunker, then wiping your brain with its unstoppable sonic weaponry. Parts sound like a ZX spectrum programme or pogrom, fed through a fucked up distortion pedal. This is the sound of a failing society, which I suspect is exactly the image that M.B. wants to project. The answer to which is inevitably something dodgy and right wing. But who wants answers????...I fucking don't !!...if a society is failing, let it fail. This is natural law is it not?
The answer to life ,the universe and everything is.....There is NO answer.......it just IS!
Put that piece of cod philosophy in yer proverbial pipe and choke on it!
And oh, by the way....this is a great fucking Tape!

M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi) - "NH/HN" - (Grafika Airlines Cassette GRA5 ) 1981

Bianchi recreates the demolition of a Nuclear Power plant in Electronic sound. The failing Hum of generators serenaded by the pulse of pneumatic jackhammers echoing through the crumbling chambers of Chernobyl's reactor B.Encase this C-60 in concrete and it'll drill its own way out to freedom to spread its healing radiation in your direction.
Music for technophobes and Luddites alike.

M.B. ( Maurizio Bianchi ) - " I.B.M. " - (Murder Release Cassette MR12) 1982

Probably the MB tape I've played the most. A melange of knob twiddled burbling synthesiers, and oscillators that sound like they've been cross bred with a hand wound 78 player. This is the kind of noise you can listen to, without those awful ear piercing squeals; relying on the softer bubbly electronic noises which sit comfortably in the mid-range.If you have tinnitus , like I do after years of noise abuse, then this will be extremely welcome.
A very listenable electronic soup.
(And of course we all know that I.B.M. supplied the Nazi's with office machines that made the solving of the Final Solution more efficient. America's unpunished I.G.Farben. Close the fuckers down)

M.B. ( Maurizio Bianchi ) - "Industrial Tape" ( self -released Cassette 01) 1980

Boy this is good.....let me explain.
Track one sounds like several records stuck in a lock-groove edited together under ten feet of dirty water.
Track two sounds like several recordings of wild animals being drowned stuck in a lock-groove.....er....underwater!
Track three sounds like Sweep from the 'Sooty Show'* being slowly liquidised in a blunt blender.
And track four is the sound of the blender dying as Sweep's mangled textile body wraps around the blades.
Again....underwater!
Those Italians!!!!

This is definitely the muzak they should play to the workforce in sweatshops all across the undeveloped world, to help them rebel and save the Earth from ourselves.......in fact, why bother, we all deserve our inevitable fate.......extinction is natural kids, embrace it.

* For Jonny Foreigner out there,'The Sooty and Sweep Show' was a kiddies TV programme in the UK from 1950's to the present day.....bizarre is not the word! Check it out HERE!

M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi) - " Voyeur Tape " (YHR Tapes YHR005) 1980

Maurizio Bianchi from Milano, Italy, started working in 1979 using pre-recorded filtered sounds and in 1980 bought his own electronic equipment to "produce technological sounds to work for a full awareness of modern decadence"...mmmmmmmm(thinks).......sounds like a  rather right wing musical manifesto; but this tape won't be labelled boring by the heard-it-all before crowd, 'cus Maurizio Bianchi is acceptable Industrial music. Personally, all Industrial music bores the fuck out of me, mainly because its so fucking easy.
This may have something to do with the enormous back catalogue MB has, shitting out so many wobbly tape collages ,that one could fill a European Union crop surplus warehouse, and then some. The Mr Grain Mountain or Wine Lake of Industrial music.....sorry....musick.
Many of the visitors to this site could go on forever about the awful cliché ridden disco and rock hits of today, but even they pale into insignificance at the repeated themes of ALL Industrial artists.......Auschwitz, Nazi's, Mass Murderers,Sadism, Paedophilia, Aliester Crowley-isms....blah,blah, blah!...yawn!
All that aside, this is rather good to listen to while you're doing something else, and the collage of various manipulated tapes sounds even better on this rather muffled C-60 cassette release from 30+ years ago.
If MB didn't have so many of those annoying Holocaust references etc on his future releases, we could probably call this Avant-garde tape composition. This, and many of his earlier tapes, thankfully are holocaust free, and doesn't add to an already growing culture of Holocaust fatigue.
"Who cares about the Holocaust" they say.......well, its because of unimaginative Industrial music and cheap TV channels banging on constantly about Hitler that the young are fed up hearing about it.
If I'd just heard this for the first time, I'd have labelled it as a work of near genius back in 1980, so therefore it gets 8/10, well worth a download in my opinion.

M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi) - "Cold Tape" - ( YHR Tapes YHR006) 1980

This is what I love about Cassettes,the shear crapness of them often takes the music into another place. Ferric Oxide, formula (Fe2O3), was my favourite recording medium.It had such a low frequency response, and wore out so quickly, that it changed any sound into something that came from a neighbouring room, rather than from your cassette deck just a few feet away from you.
This is what has happened to M.B.'s 'Cold tape', and it sounds all the better for it.It helps that the composition itself sounds like a tape being chewed up between the pinchers of some cheap cassette player.Plenty of wobbly malfunction, out of phase undulating tape loops, with even more wobbly synthesisers. It seems a shame to label this Industrial Music, but that's the shoe box its been crammed into.
Mainly due to the fascist leaning titles of some of his later releases.
This is like listening to the downfall of technology whilst smothering yourself under a ducky-down pillow.

Mauthausen Orchestra - "2nd Movement" - (Aquilifer Sodality 1AE) 1983

One of Maurizio Bianchi (MB)'s colleagues in the same field of sado-fascism obsessed industrial noise, charmingly named after the Mauthausen forced labour camp. This is far from another gay romp with Adolf and Eva at  Bertesgarten, and is nothing like listening to the sound of the slow death of slavery.What the noise on this C-60 invokes is more like the electronic soundtrack of  some reality TV version of the Vietnam War. We got approaching attack Helicopters, Napalm airstrikes, burning vegetation, the rumble of B-52's. This could be the Industrial 'Apocalypse Now'.

Mauthausen Orchestra - "Murderfuck" (Aquilifer Sodality – 1AE 14020 ) 1983

Another cassette that sounds like a badly tuned radio fed through a marshall stack from Pierpaolo Zoppo's Mauthausen project.
Side A sounds like various jet aircraft, percussion drills, and closely miked escaping gas from a nuclear cooling system.
Side B sounds like a wobbly recording of the bridge of the USS Enterprise as it is consumed by a black hole; rather like the black hole on the cover of this C-45 cassette insert.....insert!....Geddit? Hahaha.

Mauthausen Orchestra - "Dedicated to Josef Goebbels" - ( Aquilifer Sodality 1AE 08008) 1983

One doubts somewhat that Herr Goebbels would have appreciated this formless racket. Straight into the 'Degenerate art' exhibition it would have gone, and Pierpaolo Zoppo (the Italian sub-genius behind M.O.) would have been sent to a concentration camp, or just executed without trial. Goebbels is an interesting choice to dedicate 60 minutes of noise to; him being probably the most unlikeable member of the Nazi elite.....and that's saying something.
We are treated to some prime Goebbels rhetoric amongst the cacophony, and i'm glad I can't speak German, or it could sour the experience a tad listening to his confused hateful platitudes, sandwiched between the odd rogue marching band.
Whatever the underlying themes behind this sonic atrocity are, I hope it has something to do with mirroring the dark side of humanity, a la Whitehouse's various 'dedicated to....' tracks/albums, and not something that glorifies such a hideous little toad such as the 'lovely' Josef G.?
