Einstürzende Neubauten – Ein Seltener Vogel

Beautifully restrained piece from everyone’s favourite German metal bashers. This is from their 2004 album ‘Perpetuum Mobile’; their first LP after Chung and Einheit had left, and the first with the bands current line up.

Andrew Liles – Skobniki

Passing through to other dimensions on Liles’ 2004 album ‘My Accumulating Discontent’.

Nurse With Wound + irr.app.(ext.) – Angry Electric Finger 3 (Mute Bell Extinction Process) [Full Album]

Here’s the full result of irr.app.(ext.) being given full reign with raw Nurse materials back in 2004. These materials were also given to Cyclobe and Jim O’Rourke. One can hear the heart of NWW beating within all three “remixes” (or, mixes); although it seems that Cyclobe are the act that really put their own stamp onto proceedings. Matt Waldron’s effort is pretty much Nurse in excelsis (Matt’s a fully fledged member now anyway), and does his very best to make sure all of those warped shapes spring out from the speakers and start writhing around in your living room.

Jonny Trunk – Dead Mouse Blues

Quiet, shuffling Plunderphonics from Trunk’s 2004 debut album ‘The Inside Outside’.

Boredoms – LIvwe!

Boredoms go for a super (geddit?) euphoric take on the hyper-speed Motorik that was in full swing by 1999’s ‘Vision Creation Newsun’. Imagine if Magma had been brought up on a diet of Krautrock and 90’s dance music instead of John Coltrane. This is, or course, the one and only track from their 2007 release ‘Super Roots 9’, a recording of their live set from Christmas eve at Laforet in 2004.

Jonny Trunk – Winspit

Jonny ransacked a load of soundtracks and Jazz records for this fantastic track from his 2004 album ‘The Inside Outside’.

Jonny Trunk – Zeus

Hauntological Loungecore from avid plunderer Jonny Trunk. This is from his 2004 album ‘The Inside Outside’

Nurse With Wound – Gusset Typing

Masturbatory creepiness from the 2004 album ‘She and Me Fall Together in Free Death’.

Wolf Eyes – Rattlesnake Shake

If you wanted to imagine a US fratboy version of Throbbing Gristle, you need to look no further than Wolf Eyes. This pleasing, spewed out mess is from their 2004 album ‘Burned Mind’.

Mark Applebaum – Skumfiduser

Wonderful piece from the Chicago man’s 2004 album ‘Martian Anthropology’ utilising the Stanford Symphony Orchestra. The Sentinel very recently witnessed this piece being performed by the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Warszawa, and it was sublime.
