Raw by spruit
Headphones or a good Hifi-set strongly advised.
"It is fascinating to see this Dutch outlier evolve his own personal take on the “glitch” genre, daring to take it in directions that even the scientists of Mego and Raster-Noton might not have imagined."

Following up on last year's Repetitive Parts, Marc Spruit's Raw has ten more minutes and has four tracks. This is industrial noise as I've never heard it before. All four tracks have a distinct sound design template. What happens within each track is dense, glitchy noise using all registers of the spectrum audible for the human ear. Most of the time, textures come and go or linger for a while, but there's no static noise. All is in flux. The only human input is audible in track IV, highly warbled voices. The rest of the sounds are favourably treated. There may be more sound sources of human origin, but those are not instantly recognizable. Track 2 starts in a quieter mood, more relaxed, less frantic. Listening to all the different noises and manipulations to get the noises, it must be a hell of a job to get this detailed mix. I'm tempted to ask Marc Spruit about his method of production. Anyway, this is a release for adventurous listeners and good headphones and/or a higher-end sound system, as recommended by Spruit, are necessary to fully hear and enjoy what he has achieved with this excellent release.
