Starting the new stash, which was sent to us by Steve Davis from Love Earth Music, is Last Action. The man behind the project is Carlo Steegen, who has been active for quite some time. As I had not heard of him before (sorry, Carlo), I looked him up on the almighty interweb, and he was the man behind the Audiobot label. And sadly, no, I had never heard of that label either. But my oh my, Any label that will release Sickboy, Government Alpha, and Wilt is a hero in my book. Discogs’ first words on Carlo are ‘noise and Hip-Hop artist’. Well, this explains how the roster of Audiobot ended up the way it did, but it is entirely unrelated to what we hear in this release.
One of his many projects is called Last Action & Friends, and the ‘friends’ on there was just one, Radek Kopel, who we have met before on – for example – the releases he did for Inner Demons Records as RDKPL. But let’s get into it. Five tracks with a total playing time of almost 24 minutes. Relentless harsh noise of the best kind. All the tracks have a lot of dynamics; what strikes me is the production. Even though they’re fully filled – hardly any breathing space – all the layers are distinguishable.
So, to be honest, I’m a bit let down by the fact that it’s only 23 minutes. I could have many more of this. So, how did I solve that problem? There is a repeat function, and I clicked it. It had been playing the whole afternoon while I was doing stuff, and I needed something else than silence. The chaotic patterns brought peace and rest to my chaotic thinking, and I got lots of stuff done. Great stuff.
