"MENTAL ANGUISH: Open Loops Vol. 1 (CD on Harsh Reality Music and Tapegerm) from Matt Howarths Sonic Curiousity
This CD from 2005 features 53 minutes of splice and dice tuneage.
Mental Anguish is Chris Phinney. Tapegerms is a sonic collective community, represented here by: Cystem, Mystified, Q-Cut, DJ Get Yo Fat On, Heuristic Inc., Omnitechnomatrix, Dave Fuglewicz, and Buzzsaw & the Shavings.
The idea is: each performer contributes samples and riffs that are then mutated by other members of this electronic community. Fragments are transformed into music, often raucous in nature, but hardly unmelodic. Abrasive, though, is an amply applicable description. But strangely, for all these qualifiers, the tunes are engaging and often breathtaking.
Drum riffs conspire with grinding guitar attacks to produce hypnotic pieces. A bevy of slick electronics serve to cement the elements into a glistening display of tasty tuneage. Bass tones provide a rumbling undercurrent that uplifts the rest of the instruments.
An amazing thing is how different each track is. While one blazes with guitar pyrotechnics, another applies sultry smoothness with a touch of synthetic church bells. One track blends agro electronics with heavy metal guitar to rail against telemarketers and their predilection to always call during dinnertime. Another track generates a dreamy soundscape that would be ambient if not for its overtly gritty manner.
With the exception of the source material, the only property shared by all the compositions is a dedication to alternative sensibilities. Spurning traditional pop format, this music strives to push the envelope by forcing experimental attitudes into a pop venue, ultimately imbuing the music with a subliminal dissatisfaction with conventionality. This urge is not only laudable, it produces a tasty selection of music that resides outside the box.
For all its anarchistic roots, this music is highly listenable, often delivering tunes that would have been suitably appropriate during the Eighties heyday of electro-pop.

"MENTAL ANGUISH: Open Loops Vol. 2 (CD on Harsh Reality Music)
This CD from 2005 features 71 minutes of industrial music stemming from online collaborations, with each band borrowing samples from each other and utilizing them according to their own idiosyncratic style.
Included here are tracks by:
Buzzsaw & the Shavings: who contribute three tracks of gritty rhythms and quirky electronics that cuts deep and leaves a permanent sonic scar.
Omnitechnomatrix: who contribute three beat-driven compositions that are dense with whirring effects and nimble-fingered chords.
Cystem: whose three tracks harness chaos with glib deftness, generating melodic tapestries of brutal impacts and liquid basslines.
Mental Anguish: whose pair of contributions combine delicate riffs with hyperactive velocity peppered with grinding effects and industrial electronics.
Q-Cut: whose single track introduces a slippery edge to the overall harsh milieu with distinctly dancefloor sensibilities.
Blind Meme Ensemble: who deliver one track whose approach tends to harness spastic delivery and create lavish surges of dreaminess to a gritty sound.
DJ Get Yo Fat On: whose single track applies growling punctuations to a searing foundation of nasty sounds.
Mystified: whose single contribution is an astral take on the industrial motif that delivers a softer edge with fragile riffs and sedately vibrating beats.
Besides being an excellent introduction to these various bands, this release has solid stand-on-its-own power. The tunes are captivating and thoroughly enjoyable if you're looking for music that spurns commercial intent and explores personal expressions of dynamic charm.
