(2005) Flatlands (with 2 tracks) are seriously heavy in a stripped-down Isis style, with monolithic, catchy riffs crashing into each other and plenty of screaming. Sunshine Republic (with 1 long track) are on a more experimental tip, reminiscent of House Of Low Culture, though there are elements of doom, post-rock and noise in the mix too. The LP is limited to 330 copies and is presented on heavy grey vinyl and comes with acetate inserts. Offensive and difficult in equal measure.

VERDE - 'Legenda' CD (Musically Incorrect Records)
"Legenda" is the second official CD by Verde, lead by electronics madman Mika Rintala (ex-Circle). "Legenda" is a logical continuum of the 1960's and 1970's wild electronic experiments and general recklessness of Finnish Underground Music, with evident influences of Krautrock heroes Faust, Can, Neu and Amon Düül - and the early Industrial pioneers Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle etc. "The music of Verde is not meant for superficial listening. Verde challenge their listeners instead of trying to please them". Limited edition of 500 copies in a beautiful digipak.
