CRUDE - FUMES NEW![da:g:mc:psy]

[first track] 

Fumes - the solvent and the soluble .Plasma fanfares. Newest of the new. Phaser-saturated wisps of 70s roland synthesiser, inner -inner-inner space and blood/brain barriers. Cackle and cluck. Warm jets...warm vacuum. Dark matter. Future religious musics. This album officially released at Lines of Flight 06. Akka Dakka. Simon. Myelin sheath. Cock rings.

CRUDE - WRETCHED FIVE VOLUMES ONE TO FIVE NEW(ish) [da:g] (recommended) ( $17 nz each, $40 nz for all 5 as a data cd)

[clip]

Five volumes of starched, submarine crude sci-fi. Bit crunch and crackle. For those who do not listen, for those who immerse. Super murk drone hells.Slippery tick tock industrial suspense themes. Demented little tape loop pieces amidst dark ambient muddiness.. sick clicks'n'paper cuts and fields of formless sound. Humorous in its melodrama. A find. Get it. Got it. Getting it. 

CRUDE - CATALOGUES OF MEANINGLESSNESS [ilf:pr:je:s]

[clip]

Another one of those song based albums..ratt-a-doodle ho'down jiggle
tunes and post-rock foolery. Features the hits `This Town part
2', `Turbo Cum', `Blood' and `Sunday'. Also available through
Invisible Generations' Artless Intent Cd-r series

CRUDE LIVE [l:s]

[clip]

Live cuts from a variety of sparsely attended gigs 1998-2002. This
entire album was recently posted to mp3.com.au,then removed.. if you want yerselves something to hold in yer hands by all means buy this. Great
renditions of Crude classics…recommended 

CRUDE – MARS [tn:g]

[clip]

Bizzare synthesiser excursions and electronic wizardry.An incubative
atmosphere permeates this recording, a selection of cold sonic fields
captured in 1999.

CRUDE - INFORMATIK 105 [f/hn:tn]

[clip]

More noise. Double album length, fax/modem sensibility. True alien
horror-scapes designed for the office environment. Features the
irrevocable classic 'Brainwash Sequence '53' and the lift-off
perspectives of 'Beta Test'.

CRUDE - NEW FUNDAMENTALS [m:s:pr]

[clip]

The first batch of songs injected into MP3.com circa 2000.
There are some great songs here, and a nifty cover. Beige, the black
of 2010.Many shining examples of the 'Crude Sound', Crude does 2-step, Crude
does tek-house, Crude does the dishes. 

CRUDE - SAX SERPENTINE [je]

[clip]

Collection of clarinet and saxophone acapellas, quartets and fanfares
recorded 1996-1997. Lovely cinematic pieces and abstract sections.
Critically acclaimed(well, Ian from Invisible Generation loves it),
20 tracks in all.

CRUDE - SAX SERPENTINE REMIX [je]

[clip]

The companion to Sax Serpentine. Wild remixes of clarinet/sax with a
total disregard for the rules. Searing solos bastardized and hacked,
scorch and smoulder, the aural magic of reverse and half speed,
incantation and pomp alongside throwaway hiss, sonic retort, refrain
and crunch..a stunner, very much recommended.

CRUDE – THE MINE [s:tn:psy]

[clip]

Mp3 album of 2004. Absolutely wicked, absolutely challenging, Crudes'
finest hour. Well, back then it was. Features the hits `The Mine' `The nanocreep' and the
psychodelic roar of `Binnenstadsgitaar Perspectieven'. Recommended 

CRUDE – LA CHALEUR BASSE DE FIDELITE VOL 1 AND 2 [s:ilf:pr:gar]

($30 nz for both)

[clip] 

For those who wish to dig deeper, I gone done the old demo tape
resurrection/rehabilitation thing [ compare beastie boys 'some old
bullshit', any 'rarities and b-sides' albums etc etc] and commited 29
real early songs from the first batch of tape releases to a shiny 2
disc set. It ain't everything recorded but it's got the highlights.
Fucked up songs, sketchbook versions of what became Aesthetics
material, alternate versions, tracks from geraldine lathe releases -
all 4-track, all dirty, all indie lofi basically. Go get it, a piece
of nz music history. I reckon. Recommended.

CRUDE – THE GEL [da:tn:psy:g]

[clip]

One of most recent Crude recordings available here. `The Gel'
features 6 tracks, all linked to a common motif. This is glitch at
it's most vile,,,stretching and creeping like some sort of fungal
organism….perfect for an avant garde sci-fi. Stings like a bad
injection and sears nerve endings like shock therapy. It's also very
serene in a way, perfect for star gazing.. True neuro musik. The
Gel ….compare perhaps a more cerebral version of `The Blob'.
Recommended – a personal highlight. Dedicated to the memory of
William S.Burroughs. 

CRUDE – BEST OF TEK [m:tn]

11 Tracks, what I deem the best tracks of the collection

There is a fabtabulous option for scoring this piece of musik/turd!!! The DOPMAINE 20 EPS, my epic electrik dansey bollox work as at 2006, is now for sale AS A WONDERFULL DATA CD-R with all 8 EPS encrusted therewith/thereunto.
