So folks, I pose to you this rather
philosophical query: if you're going to make concept noise, what
better theme to employ than vomit? The
appropriately named Repulsive Bile puts that quandary to the
test on this delightfully revolting thirty
minutes of impulsive mania. Side A is an aggressive collage of death
metal shrieking, blast beats, harsh noise and knob-twiddling, the
spasmodic, bubbling nature of the torment closely evoking images of
a tasty bilious upsurge. And then there's the themed cultural
ephemera – Ren Hoek complaining about Stimpy's “stinky ol' gumhole,”
ironic Top 40 radio announcer gab, grim forensic psychologist
chatter... all in the name of “emetophlia.” It's a messy affair, but
it's certainly never a boring one.
The even-more-repugnant B side has its
foundation in a wretchedly exaggerated recording of profuse emesis,
wrapping around it a veritable funhouse of noise and generally
undisciplined chaos. With the wildly contorting noise imitating the
churn and upchuck of freshly forming regurgitation, this side is
just as evocative as the last – if a little less frantic. Amid the
swirling vortex of excreta, one encounters a more restrained use of
themed voiceclips, the only intelligible one being Frank Booth
yelling “warm beer makes me puke!” For the faint of gut, this
wretched cassette may evoke the heaves itself – but for the astutely
disturbed mind, it's nothing short of a sinister treat.
