Comment: given that the description of chiptune/bitpop/nintendocore/tracker music is based on crashing and crawling rough bits being mostly related to rhythm I guessed I could hear classic chiptune music from the recent 13-notch issue. It is partly so because there are the crashin-crawlin` beats but mostly it chimes differently. More profoundly, the concept of the miscellany is based on Nanoloop 2, the advance gameboy program. It might be the reason can be dug out from there because of being a bit more advanced, developed platform than the previous ones and thereby reminding more of contemporary electronic music. Obviously rbtr`s Yourdogbitme is the only classical one represented over there in its thoroughgoing simplicity and roughness. However, even if I excepted something different to hear I am not disappointed at all because the result is intriguing and intricate full of good, better and even better examples. From minimally designed electro and straightforwardly acid oriented electro pop and sheer electro disco/house grooves (for instance, Tetris Hold`em`s fabulous Behaviour House, and Marcus Rafferty`s The Electron Theory as fabulous as well) and fast-speed galloping to cut-up electro undercurrents and incisive glacial-alike glistening in timbre and sonic effect drenched improvisations. The compilation is released by such label as CatchyNameRecords, and there are up such artists as Rhinostrich, rbtr, Tetris Hold`em, CatchyNameMusic, Marcus Rafferty, Little-Scale, LoBit, and 8bit-Meta. Great compilation. Everlasting.

Noskovsolegs – Urbanspace (2009)

Proc-Records

• Hard techno 
• Leftfield 
• Powerelectronics 
• Digital hardcore 
• Rhythmic noise

Comment: Recent Music Heroes arrives at the discography of Proc-Records. Noskovsolegs` two-notch issue (proc259) is unique in that context because there have been only a couple of releases since involving a video file. As the title says it involves an industrialized landscape of a city, robotically moving plastic statues of comics heroes with frightening angry faces all of that being subjugated to flashing video treatment. Musically it is logically bound because of providing a bond between harsh rhythmic patterns, and white noise drenched mechanic noises. Indeed, by watching the visual scale of my music player I can say all the frequencies are cranked up to the maximum degree. It can be assumed it is the kind of anti-rave music because with such frequencies it may be possible to kill the audience. Very harsh, very peripheral.
