JAZKAMER / SANDBLEISTIFT - 'Split' 10" (Punk Kein Rock)
(2007) 4th part of Licht-Ung's 10" split series, this time Milan Sandbleistift (aka Johannes Elbert of Licht-Ung) meets with Norwegian duo Jazkamer. Sandbleistift pummel the listener from the outset with junk noise ala Wolf Eyes, while the B-Side sees Jazkamer build a layered, spasmodic noisefest, with just enough piercing electronics to make an uncomfortable listen. Merzbow lite? Limited to just 290 copies with fully printed covers.

KAPOTTE MUZIEK / LICHT-UNG - 'Split' 10" (Punk Kein Rock)
Second in the split 10” series released by the German sound project Licht-Ung (on their own label Punk Kein Rock). Kapotte Muziek's side is a nice mixture of both quite, and noisy sounds - groans, crackles, clicks and silences. Quite obscure. While Licht-Ung's side (recorded under the guide of Seymour) is heavy droning tones, pure feedback and microphone noises. Very nice piece. Limited to just 276 copies with old-skool photocopied cover artwork and inserts.

LICHT-UNG - 'Kristall' 7" (Drone Records)
LICHT-UNG ("glade") is the name of a label, art and sound project from Gemany, with a very peculiar and rather dadaistic approach. The two pieces on "Kristall" seem to be based mainly on feedback and metal or glass sounds that are carefully put together for a strange-sounding trip. Side A consists of humming, growling drones, low siren-like sounds and high-frequency feedbacks, powerful and absorbing and very abstract, while never turning into sheer noise. Side B delivers a crystal-clear noise chant and metallic overtones processed with obscure effects. First edition of 300 copies on blue / black marbled vinyl with silk-screened covers and silver printed black inlay.
