Packaged in a very cool, transparent polycarbon case, MHz presents six different experimental/noise artists for your ears. We focus from the most simplistic noise movements to the most complex throughout this release.

On side a, klangstabil (forces behind MHz & hymen) open us into their world with militant and video game-esq percussive arrangements that get tangled in between frequency modulations and filters with "b3".

s.alt works simplistic, but interesting: tweaked frequencies at different intensity ratios with an underlying primitive beat structure that compliments the broken noise abrasiveness that falls to an end on "canned sourcream." Schachtanlage gegenort heightens the pace of noise structuring with a tunnel of air-sweeped static and low automated rhythms on "kontrasterfahrung."

On side b we engage the fast-paced, aggressive technoid rhythms and punchy, broken sound loops that accent it on "1010101" by nikolaas deiker. stone cold & misery gives us a taste of snappy, yet with funky bass rhythms assisted by various abrasive percussive attacks and minor freaked-out modulations on "das seibte zeichen."

We end this awesome experimental package with b.y.t.e:vomit's "nummer23ntation." Utilizing a complex variety of multi-layered rhythmics, intrusive mods , swells, hydraulic machinery sounds, and other bio-mechanic devices, this track provides as a nice ending to our journey into electronic noise experimentalism.
