Women Of The SS – "Rigor Romance" (Inner-X-Musick – XXX 25) 1985
Basically a load of sounds, including lots of muffled SS female
groaning, shoved through an analogue echo chamber, for 60 minutes. Some
would call this a sound collage. Put anything through an echo device
and it sounds good. So from the craft angle, 2 out of ten;musical
innovation for 1985, 2 out of ten; as a Women of the SS release,5 out of
ten.
This represents what I don't like about the Industrial genre; the
generic nature of the technique, which can be done by anyone, if they
could be arsed. Its not innovative, or difficult, but it is effective.
I could shit out a cassette like this every night, but it seems so
pointless.But I don't mind listening to someone else doing it for me;
and this ain't a bad example. Although not one of the best WOTSS titles.
This was made by that creepy bloke from Sleep Chamber.....so I guess I
should put up a couple of Sleep Chamber Cassettes next, huh?

Always liked this band, and yes, chuckle at their chicanery. And so your hilarious review (right down to the double SS in romansse!) fits in nicely! Thank you for the music on yr site , and yr wit! Quick question for you: Had a file of 'The Oblique Collection " compilation lp (Sleep Chamber, Dokument, Hideous In Strength, etc)but it is damaged. Is their a chance you can offer a download of this classic lp? Wishing you well, cheers! William at thewavinghand@gmail.com,,,if you can get back to me, that would be great!
