Probably posted this before. If you asked my favorite noise project between 2013-2016... I probably would have said CREMATION LILY and anything else on the 'Strange Rules' label. Sentimental Power Electronics. Nostalgic Power Electronics. The two releases are a good 'tip your toe in the water'.
I wore my CREMATION LILY shirt to work the other day People were like 'duh fuq?'
EDIT: Actually, I would have said DETERGE in 2016, and the 'Fusty Cunt' label. That will be my next post

Actually, Strange Rules put out this zine / short story thing that to this day is one of the best things I have read... in my life. Forget INFINITE JEST or ATLAS SHRUGGED. This was amazing. It was only like 9 pages but it evoked so much emotion.

Yeah TG is a pretty massive influence on me but more or less everything that comes afterwards that Gen's related to is not my bag.
Re-Coil:
Those two fell out with Gen/PTV pretty early on & started Coil afterwards. Likewise with a lot of people in that Orbit: David Tibet of C93, Ossian Brown of Coil/Cyclobe etc. I'd recommend reading Cosy's book, England's Hidden Reverse, and general interviews where this stuff is discussed with Peter, Johnn and others. There's also a big PopMatters expose on it that was published last week-ish. https://www.popmatters.com/genesis-p-or ... 31583.html
Anyway, there is some merit to a very small amount of the musical element of TOPY. The rest of it is a decidedly mixed bag. Suffice it to say that you're much better off investigating the wider orbit of adjacent artists. Especially Cyclobe & The Stargazer's Assistant.
Thanks for the article m8! I like most (all?) those projects so I will read. I don't know, I've read accounts of after the fall out, staying touch, whatever.

I was buying pretty much everything on A-B around that time (even if.... well let's just say he was less than reliable as a mailorder ) and this first record really stuck with me. Same with Knives Ov Resistance, Moss, The Sylvester Anfang Crew and Burial Hex.
I never hear them mentioned anywhere - well played D.o.S.
Finally picked up this LP by Dilloway and I'm friggin' obsessed with it currently
Sold me at Dilloway.

My last record is more or less me interpreting what it would be like to be in this band and doing a shit job of it.
IDK if you're aware of House of Mythology, but that's a record label worth peeping if you haven't already. https://houseofmythology.com/
Also Michael J. Yorke is apparently in a band with a legendary snooker player, and they're getting a lot of hype although I haven't actually heard the record yet: https://theutopiastrong.bandcamp.com/al ... pia-strong
