A new cassette reissue of an older Cd-r that this obscure Russian noise project released back in 2004. I would never have guessed that this came from one of the members of the dark ambient/"neo-folk" band Majdanek Waltz - the sounds on Recensions Of Black Yajurveda are terminally abrasive, each of the four long tracks spewing an unending gout of occult electronic vomit inspired by sacred Hindu texts, a storm of distorted, granular noise and primitive loops that kept evoking strange visions of Government Alpha using a circuit-bent Atari 2600 to unleash a blizzard of wrecked 8-bit squelch-violence. It's really chaotic but also heavily rhythmic, with the noisy loops frequently twisting into bleeping, crunchy pulsations among all of the screeching, buzzing noise. From there, though, Ganzer will suddenly go into overdrive, melting down into a swirling ocean of white static noise that will take over a huge portion of the track. By the time I got to the HNW-like hissblasts on the third track "Maitrayani", I was pretty much hypnotized. Over on the flip-side, however, Ganzer allows clusters of needling notes to swarm out like black flies over violent bursts of distortion on the twenty four minute long track "Kapishtthala", later introducing extremely slurred voices into the mix to creating a much more anxious and unsettling noisescape. Its as cathartic as anything I've recently heard from the aforementioned G-Alpha or Merzbow. This sort of 8-bit sounding HN is probably an acquired taste, but if you've dug the kind of sharp, extreme noise that Venta Protesix and the Neus-318 label are known for, check this out.

Limited to fifty copies.
