V/A - BRICK BY BRICK 3" CDR BOXSET

FROM SMALL DOSES

IT WAS AN HONOR TO ONCE AGAIN BE A PART OF A MASSIVE COMPILATION, WITH SUCH ACCLAIMED ARTISTS.


ORIGINAL LABEL DESCRIPTION:


harsh noise walls. seven acts. seven different approaches. seven different results. one disc by each: a view from nihil, ryan bloomer, four flies, griz+zlor, infirmary, vomir, white plague. seven 3" cdrs packaged in a hard plastic binder box with a 12 page booklet, vomir's manifesto, and a 1" button.


REVIEW FROM MUSIQMACHINE (EDITED FOR RELEVANCY HERE):





'Brick By Brick' is an impressively presented, distinctive looking & sonically quality bound collection of Harsh Noise Wall material. The set offers up seven HNW artists who get a 3inch disc or twenty minutes worthy of space each.
The seven discs come in a very neat & classy small plastic box which has black ink on black paper outside cover & inside the box you find a twelve page booklet detailing each track, a near A4 manifesto by Vomit & a 1” badge/ button. Each of the seven discs has it’s own plastic see-through sleeve which is attached to the box by two little plastic ring binders- as I said a very classy, distinctive & thought out package.

...



On disc four we have a twenty minute untitled track by Griz+zlor & it’s a nice example of this projects often storm bound, thick & murky take on HNW. The track really feelings like your trying to make your way through a high wind tearing, snow heavy storm- it’s very thick, near unchanging yet rather for filling in it’s constant & brutally hypnotic attack.

...


All told a very nicely presented & thought-out celebration of the steadily growing HNW scene, which works as a wonderful primer for those who have still to taste this extreme but often exhilarating & hypnotic form of Noise, but i'ts also a must have item for anyone who’s already an admitted wall addict.
