Dr. NoiseM - Flexi Terror 8 [Dr. NoiseM Tapes]

Another sequel of Dr. NoiseM's "Flexi Terror"-series which is dealing with limited to 1 - sic !!! - copy editions of combined CDr / Flexi Disk releases catering Noize / Harsh Noize-related recuts of long time forgotten German Schlager- / Pop- / Easy Listening-tunes of the 50s and 60s era. The original of "Gemütlichkeits Cha Cha" is quite an obscure Cha Cha-gem which is mostly instrumental with some stereotypical German words scattered all over the tune with a heavy, and possibly faked, American accent whilst "Daisy, Du Muss Schlafen Geh'n" is more of a novelty Jazz / Bop-fusion of rather annoying than actual quality referring to its German lyrics. But however, it's the remixes we're in for and "Gemütlichkeits Cha Cha (Flexi-Terror Mix)" brings in the right amount of pleasure in terms of fusing screaming HarshNoize and fuzzy distortions that somehow remind us of Cosmic- and SpaceRock in a quite obscure way - fusing off-kilter harmonies and sonic terror. On the other hand "Daisy, Du Musst  Schlafen Geh'n (Flexi-Terror Mix)" seems to emphasize a little on the grinding and more distorted side of the HarshNoize genre whilst riding a similar wave in terms of amalgamating off-harmonic beauty and an overwhelming maelstrom of sonic events. Heavy, yet calming.
