Ramleh / Libertarian Recordings – A Return To Slavery / Slaughter At Random [LP] (1983, Broken Flag)

 

The first Ramleh three tracks mix up their usual power electronics assault and Gary Mundy's shouty siren vocals with some really mean eyeball-shakingly deep crackly bass drones akin to a thunderstorm, which make it actually feel kind of unique in its league, while 'Phenol' seems to be merely a copy-paste from one of their earlier tapes. Philip Best's one-off pseudonym as Libertarian Recordings is a decent addition for the genre, with a series of walls of thin, wallpaper-scrapingly screechy static, with what's either samples of zooming jet fighters or flanged synths that closely resemble them.
