Cipher Productions

Reissue of the 1997 debut CD album by Grunt, originally released in an edition of just 100 copies (Les Disques Bruitistes). Recorded late 1996-early 1997, all home-recordings created with an analogue 4-tracker. From harsh noise to eerie drones, from SJ and Ramleh-inspired dirty industrial noise experiments, to Gerogerigegege, Hanatarash, Violent Onsen Geisha inspired-racket. What may be lost in lack of coherency, is counterbalanced by the aesthetics of 90's DIY noise scene. Technical excellency is replaced by a youthful and playful approach of discovering ways to make noise. The lack of direction is direction itself.

Sonically it is the link between Mikko's very early works and what soon would become the known Grunt sound ('Europe After Storm', 'Terror & Degeneration', etc). The original hand-made art is presented for the first time in full colour. No remastering.
