Chaos V.G. is the work of one Dennis van Geldrop, who also performs as Kuttekop, Nee!, and Deathtomusic. Most of his output as Chaos V.G. has taken place in the last few years with splits by people like Odal and RDKPL. The notes state “i get happy making noise, i love chaos in music, and every now and then i tear my whole house down for a few weeks. and try to make something of music from it. noise makes me happy, and that's how I discharge myself and stay on the right frequency.” So say we all, Dennis. Sounds like a good time, so let’s get into it.

We kick it off with (a04), which is squiggly analog noise with a lot of frequency changes. It’s a lot of fun. (a09) is more of the same with a lot of bass drone, like line noise gone bad, and more analog squiggles. (a10) changes it up a bit with machine gun bass and what sounds like heavily processed screaming added to the analog noises. (b04) is a bit more crunchy, with machine noise and feedback loops. Nice use of dynamics to draw the listener in. (b06) closes it out with sweeping noise blasts and high-pitched noise that seems to get harsher as it goes on until it cuts out with a bit of line noise.

Google Translate tells me that Leven Zonder Grenzen is Dutch for "Life Without Borders," and this one fits the bill. This is pure chaos, as the name implies, and everything is grist for the noise mill. The noise seems almost joyful, which I appreciate. If you like your noise all over the map, this is well worth checking out. This album weighs in at around 20 minutes.
