The new Slave Indvstries compilation nears completion. The first one was released on CD-R around 2000 after a false start, a significantly revised tracklist, and preview cassette copies passed out to friends. Since then, it had been a frequent insert in orders through the website and a tireless promotional item. The next SI compilation was planned soon after the first, and its title was "Vaporware." Artwork was designed, tracks were discussed, updates were posted on the SI site and mailing list, dates were pushed back, and then the collection intentionally never saw the light of day. Are you laughing? Good. :) True story.
2000 was a long time ago, ages ago for so many of us who were just learning to use our sequencing programs when we finished tracks for Volume 1 [!!]. A new representation of our collective abilities, we all agreed, was sorely needed. SIv1 has served its purpose... and then some. So, yes, with artsy statements made and lessons learned, the as-of-yet-untitled third compilation of Slave Indvstries musics nears completion, and it is going to be a coup. A coup, I tell you! We've been extracting exclusive and unreleased tracks from SI bands, sometimes by force-- several musicians were kidnapped and held on threat of torture until they finished new songs while chained to filthy computer desks. The Deerhunter had nothing on our "track submission" methods! The list so far:
Exclipsect - "stark focus" [exclusive new track, dark gurgling textures over shifting, stuttering beats]
Exdeath - "ribonucleic dirge" [exclusive new track, noise (lvl 24, 254 hp) fighting with ambient (level 19, 187 hp)]
infec+ek - "sap" [previously unreleased distorted beats, save for brief download via the Roaring Elbow e/n site]
iSv - "gHz" [unreleased title track from upcoming album, total Battletoads-meets-KMFDM's-"money" sound]
Amor Antiquita - "the blindfolded girl" [exclusive new track, harder rhythms permeating the usual AA sound]
Phallus Über Alles - TBA [unreleased track or exclusive remix, feminist electronic punk dhc goodness]
Slave Cylinder - "quiet steel" [unreleased track from upcoming "ruzumubokkusu" album, rhythmic noise]
The Appendage. - "blame c0wboy" [unreleased track, waxtrax dance meets industrial western-- rawhide!]
N Y X - TBA [exclusive track, he's been sending over some really epic demo versions of new material]
R.A.M. aka Ripper - TBA [exclusive new track, oldschool AM evangelical radio and frequency abuse set to beats]
Scrotal Tear - "serenade for stanley knife" [unreleased track from upcoming debut, horror ambient death drones]
...and several more entries too tentative to post just yet. Of course, the above is subject to change, but most of it is pretty set in stone. Friends, Romans [USA is the new Rome, didn't you hear?], countrymen/women, be sure to acquire a copy of the upcoming Slave Indvstries compilation by any means necessary. At the very least, we'll need the funds for psychiatric treatment for our more "stubborn" members. ;)
