According to Nihilist Records' website this clash of Andy’s (Andy Bolus & Andy Ortmann) took more than eleven years to come out. It might seem an absurd lapse of time but  total procrastination and absolute mess are key ingredients in noise music.

First track of this LP is a live collaboration recorded in Paris in 2007 and it starts on the quiet side. A throbbing mass of musique concrete-like sounds, metal junk manipulation and "delicate" synth creates a lively and fresh mix, paving the way to something worse and more aggressive. Indeed the weird dada junk soon gives space to heavily distorted contact microphones and synths paired by porn loops - making this my favourite part of this side of the record of course. Nothing new but it's good noise from two veterans of the trade, so I couldn't ask for much more. The quality of the recording is not the best and there's some clipping, but it didn't bother me much.

Side B consists in a mix of studio recordings and it's a beast of another kind. From Idiotic 80s pop music, mangled drum samples, mouth farts, bursts of harsh noise and general trigger-happy sampler galore to disquieting, distant and creepy unidentified noises and old school industrial-feeling loops: everything is skilfully mixed and blended in a few somehow coherent tracks, which is something to appreciate in this field. I especially like the extreme use of panning and the unrelenting and deliberate crippling of pop music matter. Some of the loops are greatly effective and catchy. I'm sure everybody can find some sounds to cling to and I didn't expect anything less from these two names.

I loved this LP and I thoroughly recommend it to lovers of cut-up based noise, old dada-influenced industrial and weird sounds in general.
