I’ve always loved 3" and this series of small cds is interesting cause some extreme music (some doesn’t imply every subgenre) is really suitable for short blasts. Differently from Praew Jik, No John is less muscular and produces more obsessive tracks, in some ways though using less energy, if compared to the previous power noise 3", this one is way much uneasy do to the fact it’s less continuous. The sound is again good and the music is once more quite simple but also well refined: you pass from saturated noises to high frequencies, sometimes it’s really close to some early Hafler Trio than to some other Japanese mad man (read Merzbow). Those simple distortion really reminded me some old heroes like Intrinsic Action even if honestly I think No John has nothing to do with him both aesthetically (that’s not secondary for what regards Mark Solotroff’s project) and musically... it’s just some saturated/distorted sounds are quite similar. A good morsel but with ups and downs.
