This 2008 entry in the RRRecords Recycled Music series is one of the earliest Content Nullity releases and features two untitled side-long tracks of self-described "dead end power electronics" from this UK noise upstart. I just caught wind of this project via the new Scorn Of Totality tape that came out on Audial Decimation (the noise sub-label of Satanic Skinhead Propaganda), which I hope to have in stock soon; in the meantime, we've got this full length tape that starts off as a holocaustal storm of junk-metal chaos, and ends in a dissipating cloud of dark, hallucinatory ambience.

A lot of different territory is covered in the interim, though. Side one opens up into a clusterfuck of looped noise and collapsing mountains of scrap metal, interspersed with high-pitched feedback and eerie, trebly melodies. Fans of early K2 and Hal Hutchinson's solo work would dig this, though Content Nullity injects a heavy dose of throbbing synth and looping melodic shapes into this racket. It later heads into a nightmare cacophony of buzz saw drones and mangled electronics, ambient deep-space radio transmissions, and avalanches of metal crashing into infinity. All built out of layer upon layer of grating, hypnotic sound. The second side has more ambient material, a haze of factory noises, ominous synths and the buzz of alien locusts. Further in, it shifts into a long passage of black, Lustmordian crypt-drift, but when Reynolds begins to blend together that bleak catacomb ambience with his junk-noise elements at the halfway mark, it turns into something much more unsettling. From there the side veers off into a kind of electronic horror ambience, creepy analogue synthesizers coming to the forefront, warping into a wash of eerie backwards keyboards that close the side.

Big recommendation if yer a fan of Oscillating Innards's electronic chop-shop violence, brutal junk noise, and modern power electronics. Comes in the signature "recycled" packaging of RRRecords's series.
