Two long-standing experimental sound projects join together as Legendary Bastard Noise, aka Eric Wood and +DOG+, aka Steve Davis, combine for two extended and well-paced works of dark sonics and electronics, the first piece "Misery Milestone" a haunting and desolate soundscape with disruptive punctuation; the 2nd "Beneficiary: Earth" adds agonizing voice to a work of global arpeggiation and destruction.

"Legendary Bastard Noise, active since around 1992 in the person of Eric Wood, is teaming up with Love Earth's own Steve Davis, a.k.a +DOG+. In 2022 they sent each other all kinds of material to work on/with/from, which became "Desecration Tales". This 12″ is a gorgeous black and gold vinyl hidden in a foldout cover with - when opened - what seems to be hyenas in a field of Bastard Skulls. Minimal in design, yet maximum impact, a job well done by Kevin Fetus. Both sides have an almost 20-minute track, and we all know that's pushing it on what an album can handle. Though this one was cut properly, and it's all there.
Side A is titled "Misery Milestone" and starts with a desert-like feeling where someone throws garbage bins and junk around. It's the beauty of the first being affected by the remains of society. The second part has vocals by Eric, and the characteristic sound of WT Nelson's machines (I think) is added to the composition. It's how I know Bastard Noise and why I admire their activities. The composition leaves the desert, and halfway, we're guided into a futuristic environment, First noisy, then chaotic. Between the line, I make up the message, 'There is still time to change the future, but you have to start doing something now'.
The other side, "Beneficiary: Earth", has a much more oppressive feel, and the lyrics subscribe to this. A completely corrupted earth where humanity will cease to exist. "The extinction to glorify. The rebirth of biodiversity we'll thankfully never witness! Fuck humans!". Oh, you thought these were happy songs? Bzzzzt. Wrong. Think again. The first part would very well fit a CMI or Slaughter release, and the second part is lovely, and I can't put my finger on why this is. Either the spacious arpeggiator or that typical minimalistic noise sounds I love, or the prolonged build-up to the third and final part: The collapse of earth, the end of humanity and a second chance for the earth as the sole beneficiary.

 | Jupitter-Larsen, GX Ross Distracted [VINYL] (Love Earth Music) |
| Each side of this LP from The Haters mastermind GX Jupitter-Larsen is a minimalistic noise work in the style of The Haters, built from loops and extraneous sounds, obscure and curious and each side ending with a giggle; you either need more of this kind of sonic opaqueness, or perhaps you too are a Hater. | |
 | T. Mikawa x Victoria Shen Personality Chrysler (Love Earth Music) |
| A duo recorded in Tokyo in 2019 as a live performance, and through remote collaboration on the internet, between NY sound artist Victoria Shen, who focuses her work on extreme textures and gestural tones, using "chaotic sound" to oppose signal and information to elude traditionally embedded meaning, and Japanese noisician Toshiji Mikawa of Hijokaidan & Incapacitants fame. | |
 | Juice Machine Broken And Dilapidated (Love Earth Music) |
| An apt description for the layers of sonic decay and deteriorated sounds, loops and errata that underpin each of the five tracks on this elusively restrained noise album, Juice Machine, aka Roger H. Smith (Chefkirk) and Heather Chessman, use mangled field recordings and concrete elements of blurred looping structures and aberrant interjection, each unique work a fascinating curiosity. | |

| With albums on Creative Sources, Bolt and esc.rec., &c., Lithuanian sound artist working in the digital electronic realm Gintas K. releases a solo album of nine compositions for computer, midi keyboard & controller, using glitch, oddly punctuated rhythmic elements and alien sound sources for an oddly compelling album of slippery electronics and strange sonic environments. | |
 | L'eclipse Nue Faces From Dreams (Love Earth Music) |
