Various - _Lobot Manual_
(Lobot Music, 1999)

Hey look, a noise compilation... with no liner notes. Fuck Lobot Music then. When I open up a compilation, I want to see liner notes with artist addresses, thank yous, and a bit of background (hell, I'll settle for 2 out of 3), not "Lobot Manual - For more information write to:". When I purchase the fucking CD I want the fucking information in my hands while I listen to (what I hope to be) good noise. Oh well... where is ranting going to get me? At least the noise is going to be good... right? <sigh> This compilation is a fine example of what happens when you put together the hoi polloi generic garbage noise/power electronics artists and have absolutely no big time names with uhm... let's see... TALENT to carry the lot. After running down the list of artists, I came to the conclusion that I had pretty much no idea who just about any of these people were, where they were from, or what sort of style they mingled with. Instead, I found myself bouncing from track to track holding my breath and hoping that it wasn't going to be even cruddier than the one I just finished with. There are some artists who take steps in the right direction towards making this mildly enjoyable, such as Dyslexis Coup's opening track and one followed a few tracks later by Dysthemia Scars. Flutter shoots out with a piece which hits just around average for them, though I found myself highly amused by the use of R2-D2 as a source sound. The rest of the compilation (as mentioned above) is throw away, though even the cruddiest bands have a few seconds of interesting noise here and there. I hear the profits for this are going to Food Not Bombs and the guys who made it are real nice... oh well. Buy it for that, or move on, I say.
