Now that I'v...

While I have been sitting on this release 2 weeks after writing...

Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  B Sad To See  It Go: No The Beastie Boys' Grand Royal  licensed German "futurist" techno label Digital Hardcore straight outta Berlin.  Label mates were Alec Empire and Atari Teenage Riot and EC8OR.  Of these, Shizuo was the one I listened to the least although I did buy those other artists at import prices.  Shizuo passed in 2011 , most likely of some sort of...

I didn't realize this label also put out my friend Dawn Black's band Books Lie in the same year.  I bought this knowing absolutely nothing about the band and 20 years later I still knew nothing before I put the CD on. Well, musically it's kind of a generic wall of screamo.  It's 8 tracks that blast by fast with things I sometimes like...
