"ROCK `N` ROLL STARS DON`T DRESS FOR THE WEATHER."- DAVID JOHANSEN - NEW YORK DOLLS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " YOU DICK!" - JEFF SPICOLLI - FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- PHANTOMSMASHER:IPECAC'S LATEST SMASH. From the opening track of Phantomsmasher's eponymously titled CD on Mike Pattons(Faith no more/Fantomas) Ipecac label,one gets a good idea of what to expect. "Bishop Hopping", as that first track is called, is a strange and fascinating mixture of melodic guitar play, mechanical and organic drums crashing, otherworldly vocals and electronic fuzz all sifted through what sounds like the Devil's own lap top. The rest of the album follows suit. Phantomsmasher is the brain child of James Plotkin, a sort of mad scientist of the avant music world. His work has taken the form of many bands and he is a peer of some of the finest (and fiercest) musicians around. Most recently, they were known as Atomsmasher(Hydrahead Recs)-- a more direct noise project in the fully blown Japanese tradition. The noise now being flushed out with some free jazz and aggressive electronica, Phantomsmasher has arrived now when WE NEED them most. The group consists of Plotkin, drummer Dave Witte and "audiomulch vocals" by Speedranch. The output is a beautiful piece of dada that is nothing short of exciting. Venturing into odd places where only the brave dare, Phantomsmasher could be the savior of art rock, free jazz, avant, electronica, noise, or whatever goddamn label one wishes to slap on. Each track flows beautifully, shifting from chaos to lyricism and back. Several moments begin smoothly, fooling the ear, and then immediately turn harsh and brutal, taking the listener on a bizarre ride through sonic waves that as pleasing as they are challenging. This is as interesting as music gets. Something this odd and equally enjoyable comes around very very rarely. Phantomsmasher deserves your attention. Vince Coletta ____________________________________ =WOLF DEVIL WOMAN:Imagine the craziest, most messed up, bizarre, jaw-dropping, stupidest dream you have ever had. Now, imagine if it were real? Well a film exists, and it is called Wolf Devil Woman, directed and written by Pearl Cheung Ling. There are more WTF-moments in the first 20 minutes of this film than in just about every other movie I have seen – combined.It all starts with a voodoo crucification for some reason. I have no idea why. Some guy gets sacrificed and some cartoon blood explodes from his chest. Seriously, the blood is animated, by hand. Next, cut to a married couple running through a snow covered forest, being chased by red ninjas and an evil demon wearing a green troll mask – with his tongue sticking out of the mouth slit. The couple are carrying a baby, and they try everything they can to save the poor child. However, they get cornered by the ninjas, and so the husband stabs himself, and his wife, and then they start banging their heads on the side of the mountain to create an avalanche to bury the baby, leaving her life up to fate.Well, soon after, some wolves come and dig up the baby and take her back to a magical ice cave filled with green smoky water. Oh yeah, the wolves also dig up the husband and wife and eat their hands and legs. The baby is raised like a wolf, and wears a wolf's head and fur, and walks around like a Hunchback (she later gets her back straightened out by some kung fu power and mad view of some kind of x-ray vision). When she captures her first rabbit, she is so happy that she rips it in two, in an explosion of gore and fur. Meanwhile, back at some other place, the troll-demon and his minions are ripping people to shreds – for some untold reason. It totally defies any kind of understanding. FUKKING BRILLIANT!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SEEDING OF A GHOST: aka Black Magic 3. Mega-disgusting Asian pukeathon. Features rampant nekkidity, bug barfing, brain eating, spinal column popping, airborne celestial corpse screwing, ass reaming with a giant matchstick, an exploding pregnant woman (sort of a "womb with a spew") and a multi-tentacled face hugger with a very big appetite. Truly amazing -- you will NOT be disappointed! THAT IS MY INSPIRATION FOR A MONTH!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KUNG FU COCKFIGHTER: You MUST see this one to believe it! Evil Duke Lee Chow uses a horny monk with a super-powered penis to test for virgins in a bloody hymen busting ritual. The monk is able to break boulders and do spinning push-ups with his crank! He meets his match in a super-virgin who can jam a long pole up her twat, snap off the end and shoot it across the room like a ping pong ball! Whe she spreads her legs a green light flashes from her crack and lightning strikes! In one disgusting scene a woman has her pussy roasted over an open fire and basted with spices... NOW...! THIS IS WHAT INSPIRED MYSELF,CASEY AND CARDO FOR A "FULL LENGTH 12" RECORD!!! THIS IS WHAT "GRINDHALLING" IS ALL ABOUT BABY!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ____________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ $PEEDRANCH is a purveyor of power electronics, noize, punk, nasty breaks,proper hip hop, dancehall island ragga/reggae, flavela booty sweat rock, glam, garage, acid house,space rock, psychedelic surf, hardcore, grind, electroclash, turntablism, - to name a few.

AND NO! I DO NOT WEAR THESE!................................................. ..................................................ONE BRAVE STEP FOR MANKIND DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE ____________________________________________________$PEEDRAN CH-re elég ránézni, hogy tudjuk, nem egy átlagos zenésszel van dolgunk. A manchesteri Speed a legöntörvényubb emberek egyike és ezt az általa kreált tételek még inkább bizonyítják. Hangos fülsüketíto zajokat tört ritmusokká alakító zenéjének intenzitása olyan eloadókat idéz mint pl. a WHITEHOUSE vagy MERZBOW, ritmikailag pedig egy amfetamin származékokon élo ütos kamaraegyütteshez lehet hasonlítani. Speed javarészt kollaboratív munkákban utazik, melyek közül a legismertebb a hazánkban óriási népszeruségnek örvendo VENETIAN SNARES Snares-zel készített Making Things Orange címu lemeze a PLANET MU kiadónál, illetve a PHANTOMSMASHER formáció, melyben JAMES PLOTKIN (ex-SCORN/OLD jelenleg KHANATE) gitár/bogo, valamint DAVE WITTE (DISCORDANCE AXIS, MELT BANANA) dobjátékát veszi alapul és csavarja szét a végtelenségig. Utóbbi formáció elso lemezét - mely még ATOMSMASHER néven jött ki - az Isis frontember AARON TURNER adta ki a HYDRAHEAD recordsnál, míg a második lemezt már MIKE PATTON adta ki az IPECAC-nél. Az évek során számtalan remixet készített. Szerepelt az ISIS Oceanic lemezének tételeit feldolgozó 12" sorozaton is, ahol olyan eloadók értelmezték újra a zenekar tételeit Speed mellett, mint DäLEK, FENNESZ, Thomas Köner, MIKE PATTON, JUSTIN BROADRICK, VENETIAN SNARES, de szerepelt az elektrodeathgrind legenda AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED remixlemezén is. Legújabb munkája CARDOPUSHERROL közös lemeze, mely szintén az IPECAC-nál fog megjelenni jövore, illetve pár szólótétel, mely egy dvd-vel együtt kerül kiadásra.||| .___________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _________ATOMSMASHER-s/t (Double H Noise Industries) PHANTOMSMASHER-s/t (Ipecac Recordings.) Digitally manipulated sonic chaos. That’s the only way to describe this trio that features the talents of experimental guitarist, bassist James Plotkin ex-Scorn,OLD, ex-Discordance Axis, Burnt by the sun, melt banana drummer Dave Witte, and vocalist $peedranch of Venetian Snares collaborations. This is grind/punk/noise/intensity of the most experimental and superior variety. But the immaculate precision used to assemble and arrange the tracks creates a tumultuous mix that is the musical equivalent of surrealistic art.( Plotkin along with Dave Witte and $peedranch ) is nothing short of what the soundtrack to World War III would be if the composers had never worked in any field other than video games. The track titles are also very 'apt.' Imagine Ministry, Aphex Twin,Boredoms,Mike patton and the Butthole Surfers, meeting at Robert Williams’ place to record some stuff while on massive quantities of acid. You haven’t heard ANYTHING AT ALL like this. Trust me. The band has since changed it's name to Phantomsmasher and moved from Hydra Head Records to Mike pattons Ipecac label. — jjobes ____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________..Atomsmashe r/st hydrahead records.Blurring the lines between grindcore, experimental noise, and in-your-face electronica, James Plotkin's Atomsmasher's debut comes off like a cross between Atari Teenage Riot, Merzbow, Aphex Twin, Fantômas, and Torture Garden-era Naked City. In other words, it's wild, it's noisy, it's jarring, and it will leave most listeners either very happy or very annoyed. Vocalist DJ Speedranch proves himself to be an obnoxious screamer par excellence on the level of Mr. Bungle's Mike Patton or the Boredoms' Yamatsuka Eye, although, in truth, his voice is often digitally processed and distorted beyond the point of recognition. The same goes for Dave Witte's drumming; his effects-treated percussion frequently sounds more like the work of an abused drum machine. Together with James Plotkin's kaleidoscopic guitar-synth playing (he also plays bass), it can be hard to tell who is doing what -- the array of digital skipping noises, crunchy static sounds, distortion blasts, and other miscellaneous debris is not what you'd typically expect from a guitar/bass/drum/vocals lineup. It isn't all noise and aggression, though, as there are several moments of spacy, guitar-generated ambience scattered amidst the chaos. There is also a welcome sense of humor present: listen to how they juxtapose a goofy children's song with an especially grating Speedranch yelp at the end of "Placebo". Folks who require riffs or clearly spelled-out song structures will feel lost here, but this disc should deliver the goods for anyone excited by Atomsmasher's on-paper "supergroup" potential. ~ William York, All Music Guide.______________________________________________________ ____ ____________________________________________________________ ____ ------------------------------------ISIS-Remix and interpretations:Isis has gotten better and better and better with each release since the Red Sea. But as their work has become more polished, it has also become less challenging. I like a challenge, and I like this album precisely BECAUSE it took me 20 listens to see anything in it but static and feedback and screaming. It IS alienating and I appreciate that - it keeps out the riff-raff. The difficulty of this material makes its ultimate enjoyment all the sweeter.And like it or not, this sort of experimentation is what Isis has always been about. As catchy as Oceanic may seem, it was pretty damn risky to crossbreed Tangerine Dream and Napalm Death. This compilation takes similarly huge risks, and they don't all pay off, but its a worthwhile journey and a great introduction to a bunch of acts I would otherwise never have heard of. The Tim Hecker and Venetian Snares tracks stand out, and I replay the Speedranch remix compulsively.Admittedly, this is not very much like Isis. The raw material is mostly (like 66%) taken from (the raw session recordings of) Oceanic, but the end product bears as much resemblance to it as...say...the Charleton Heston version of Planet of the Apes does to the Tim Burton's remake. 9. Blake martello.___________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _________________Atomsmasher-atomsmasher(hydrahead)I once read a book. It was described as "In your face, down your trousers and up your arse like a shit-eating rabbit on speed". Believe me, it fully applies to Atomsmasher - regardless of what your mummy and daddy might say.9/10(Xander Hoose) ROCKZINE. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ________ AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED remix pcp tornado (hydrahead)DJ Speedranch apparently recruited a dancehall Rastafarian, an elephant, and the prank caller from Black Christmas as vocalists for his "Thanksgiving Day" makeover. Title, you will not believe this! " Creed are twats, and nickleback look like Mike Bolton remix. I told you so. Throat ripped clean out. Nasty and thumping...DEADELUS.(Seattle stranger zine)_______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _____________ Agoraphobic Nosebleed: PCP Torpedo/ANBRX (Hydra Head Records, www.hydrahead.com)This is a reissue of some early five-inch they released. I'm not even sure why they're reissuing this. This is not peak AN; they totally got better as time passed. The remix CD that comes with it doesn't make sense either, because only the DJ Speedranch and Justin Broadrick remixes are any good. In fact, the Merzbow remix is terrible, proving my current thesis that Merzbow is old and boring now and people who go to see him in concert and shit are fooling the fuck out of themselves. ____________________________________________________________ ____ Artiest PhantomsmasherTitel van de CD PhantomsmasherMuzieksoort grindcore, electronica, noiseMijn Mening Phantomsmasher is één van de vele muzikale projecten van James Plotkin. Samen met drummer Dave Witte en vocalist Speedranch laat hij zich helemaal los op dit album. Het resultaat is een vreemde combinatie van "intelligente" grindcore en electronica. Ondanks de chaos die in de nummers vaak overheerst, zit er wel degelijk structuur in, hoewel die misschien pas na een paar luisterbeurten duidelijk wordt. Het totaalplaatje lijkt misschien nog het meest op een electronische versie van de hardere nummers van de band Naked City. De vocals (die hier overigens niet zo'n grote rol spelen als in de meeste bands) van DJ Speedranch zijn dan ook niet eens zo anders dan die van Naked City's Yamatsuka Eye, de vocals van Speedranch zijn echter vervormd met behulp van de computer. Wat de cd zeker ten goede komt is dat er ook rustige momenten zijn. Ook is er plaats voor een beetje humor; tijdens het luisteren kom je zelfs het Teletubbies theme tegen. Al met al is dit gewoon een erg sterke cd, hoewel het zeker niet geschikt is voor iedereen, vooral doordat het nou niet bepaald de meest toegankelijke cd is.
