CMI.01bis: Maschinenzimmer 412 - Macht Durch Stimme
01 Ecaf Dloc 02 Interektion 03 Dissekt 04 Aptionstheorie 05 Rood 06 Sequela
So apparently there is thing which exists. And it has the same number, ie CMI.01, and it is a “reel-to-reel” thingy. I guess it will be difficult to get one’s hand on that thing but the “songs” are actually on a variety of other releases such as the (various) re-edition of the same name and on Malfeitor. We’ll probably get to that at some point. Anyhow it is quite interesting to compare it to the other CMI.01 as they are pretty much mischieving in the same sonic range.

CMI.02: VA. - in the Shadow of Death (1998)
Tumblr media
01 En Halvkokt i Folie - Röda Rattor 02 Brain Bombs - Second Coming 03 Memorandum - Esthetiks of Cruelty 04 Enema Syringe - Lymfom.
A compilation as second entries, with two names I knew before: En Halvkokt i Folie (literally, maybe, A Half Cooked in Foil, but it doesn’t make much sense) and Memorandum. The fourth act is very much in the same range as these two but i have to admit I was very much surprised by Brain Bombs who play some sort of a (very) noise rock.
Anyhow... Let’s start at the beginning. En Halvkot i Folie. There is “folie” in the name and it is some kind of madness (yes it means exactly that in French).
Again, strangely, and despite or maybe because of, this small compilation is quite appealing and one can imagine not shelving it but coming back to it regularly.

CMI.01: Lille Roger - Undead (1987)
Tumblr media
01 - Unit 731 02 - Im Himmel 03 - May 1987
First installation in the Cold Meat Industry series, as a 7", and therefore *here* as well… I cannot really remember when I first heard of Lille Roger (small Roger in swedish, Roger being Roger Karmanik, the über-boss of CMI). Probably CMI.23, a compilation, which I heard in *the* shop but deemed too weird to purchase. I was already busy struggling with my coming to understand why in hell I was liking Brighter Death Now…
What you get here is about 11′30″ of weirdness, of noises and your typical (now!) industrial music. Technically it’s not very advanced and directly comes from TG of course but one can still, with appropriate distance (that distance that comes from listening to it more than 30 years lateness-ish), hear what will become of Roger, i.e. Brighter Death Now. All was already there: rhythms from the pits of doom and hell, a shitload of distortion on whatever he was using to make these sounds, some strange samples… “Then you don’t want a doctor, you want a preacher.”
It’s very difficult to evaluate the impact that this thing must have had on the local and afterwards global scene at the time. I mean, it wouldn’t scare fans of TG or SPK and I doubt people hanging out in these “spheres” where coming looking for pop-folk-bavarian music. But still. It’s fairly rough and there is a little something that makes one (aka me, yes) come back to it. Maybe the cracks of the vinyl rip on the version I am listening to are adding to it. Granted some of those cracks might have been *in*the music. Oddly, I’ll not consider it as a “to shelve” item, possibly because of its short duration.
This 7″ is the last release from Roger under that moniker (there are several entries to the discography, ranging from 1984 to 1988). And but so, last I heard it’s been re-released in 2018 as a 6LPs box-set (obviously with a bunch of other stuff thrown in) by none other than a rebirth of CMI, or something. That thing really does not want to die, does it?
