![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [VNN-002] Psychomania - Kai Nobuko
Kai said it best when describing this release as "the kind of noise that can give you loads of energy, or can make you completely insane!" This release definitely delivers, it's glitch packed from beginning to end, and hopefully you won't lose your mind from listening to it!

| [VNN-009] eleven - alleen
From the first track of the countdown to the number eleven, I was blown away. Ambient textures and percussives along with slightly detuned guitar chords all packaged together in a neat little box. Often times through out this release, I felt a sense of urgency that a track was building into a huge rock ballad or something of the like, but instead left me with anticipating what was to come next. Volume swells and a beautifully spacey as well a rhythmic synth lines also made their appearance on el...

| [VNN-016] onetwothree - A Streetcar Named Vagina
Just after settling down from an Australian tour in support of last release, "Stereo 8" (a box set featuring eight 8-track cassettes) the experimental act known as A Street Car Named Vagina set out to capture the visceral sound that had taken them well over a decade to develope. Recorded November 5th, 2008 in an unsecured bunker in the Midwest comes "onetwothree", done in a single take with the rawest of materials and without any post-processing whatsoever...

| [VNN-004] Return of the Butterfly Children - Hourglass Drops
Moments of atmospheric bliss twisting and turning into chaotic harsh noise and then morphing into obscure beat driven electro. You won't get bored listening to this one, I promise. From Hourglass: "This album is for all the people who still believe in what our ancestors learned us!!!"

| [VNN-003] No Escaping Oneself - Insecticide Lobotomy
The first official Insecticide Lobotomy release. This release was my 20th recorded "experiment" and marks the moment when I felt comfortable enough to release a full album. Incidentally, this was originally released on the wonderful Noise-Joy netlabel, but due to their downloads being offline for a while, I decided to release under my own imprint.

| [VNN-006] Indra - C.A. Sinclair
Indra is an improvised recording made using a just laptop, a contact-miked Indian drum and a delay pedal. It's named after the Vedic god of war and weather, and, as such, is an expression of raw emotion and subconscious mindsets as much as a "serious", exploratory electroacoustic records. It incorporates elements of psychedelic music, harsh noise, glitch, ambient and more.

| [VNN-019] Sixteen Years of Being Afraid - Krakenti
Sixteen Years of Being Afraid is a mixture of harsh noise and 8-bit sounds that can only be describe as a computer gone awry. The textures created are woven into a composition that is full of high and low dynamics that I find very easy to listen to and comprehend plus a sense of emotion that ties the soundtrack back to it's title. The included text file includes the original titles in Russian.

| [VNN-011] Primun Mobile - One Thousand Pilots
Probably some of the most rhythmic harsh noise you will ever hear. Glitches are used to simulate machine gun rhythms and other effects / noises are layered in and around to give a sense of actual song structure as well as dynamics. The waves of complex harsh noise and industrial elements swell and diminish just often enough to make sure you don't suffer from ear strain.

| [VNN-012] dir egal - alleen
"dir egal" which loosely translates to "you don't care" or "doesn't matter to you" (from the author, "it's not possible to translate it directly into English, with only 2 words). Fortunately, you don't need to translate the title to enjoy this release. Just over 25 minutes of ambient textures filled with static and depth. Along with the textures and background noise, buzzing synth lines fade in and out to give a sense of rhythm and movement in and out of the fog...

| [VNN-007] android: agitated - android: agitated
android: agitated started as a live versus set between Black Beast of Arrrghhh and Insecticide Lobotomy. After great success with said versus set, the scenario grew into a harsh noise recording unit. The duo does not gig on a regular basis but will make a public appearances upon request.

| [VNN-015] Splendor Solis - One Thousand Pilots
Heavy and rhythmic like the soundtrack to the Industrial era, Splendor Solis taps into the heart of a factory system producing cogs for the masses. Audibly expanding and contracting like dragon's breathing, I wonder how many lives it has consumed.

| [VNN-010] Apathy - GENDA
Apathy by Bulgarian noisician GENDA is a very short (2 tracks) industrial noise endeavor. The tile track takes ambient textures and mixes them with industrial clanks and scrapes to create a soundtrack for life in some sort of futuristic factory (like something out of the Alien movies). Porno nation takes the same formula and shakes it up with some samples of orgasmic moaning. Even though it's short, this release provides some very complex and dense listening.

| [VNN-008] Needle Nightclub Noise - Hourglass Drops
Needle Nightclub Noise, the latest on Very Nice Noise by Hourglass Drops is short (perhaps too short) 4 track harsh noise endeavor. The album incorporates a good number of vocal samples (tastefully I might add) and a precise level of glitchiness that only Hourglass Drops can manifest.

| [VNN-013] Floppy Eared Dog - CK Vixen
Drones and glitched out samples are mixed together with abstract beats that will leave you wanting more. Well it left me wanting more, at just over 16 minutes, it's definitely too short, so we're definitely looking forward to a follow up in the future.

| [VNN-014] CK Vixen - CK Vixen
This self-titled effort is very focused on abstract beats and glitched out rhythms. Progressive layering of sounds and good track to track dynamics keep this release from boring the listener, but it's also very easy to let this one sit on repeat and act as a background soundtrack.

| [VNN-018] Last Last.fm Scrobbling - Red Label Noise Factory
Quite possibly the shortest release I've ever heard, and definitely the shortest that VNN has put out thus far. Aggressive vocals stacked on a grindcore aesthetic make up this 100 second maxi-single.

| [VNN-020] tomb whacker + assholemouthead - tomb whacker + assholemouthead
Four untitled tracks of harsh fucking noise from tomb whacker and assholemouthead. The front of the split is assholemouthead and the tracks carry a very lo-fi aesthetic (they sound like they were recorded in a cave, in a good way) with a very spacey / eerie vibe. The back side of the split is tomb whacker, with a denser more complex contribution. Both artists' tracks have good movement that keep your ears from going numb.
