All sounds by PBK

Notes from website: PBK: By the time of 'Vivisection', in 1988, I had been composing noise-based music for nearly two years, but I was anxious to find a better realization of my sound. My music from this time sort of represents a flipside approach to the Japanoise aesthetic of power-electronics. This isn't power-electronics at all, though the first 10 minutes of track 1 won't convince of that. The noises are not created simply by over-amplification. The looped sounds, some obviously from shortwave radio, create structures, but the individual sounds are isolated in a setting where each is allowed to reveal itself in a slowly unfolding manner playing against all the sounds around it. The result is often rhythmic and hypnotic, yet also stern and forbidding. This minimalist/maximalist noise music is the setting for many of my early releases, 'Die Brucke', 'Asesino', 'Warfare State' and the like."
