IIIII continues the tradition of the unique Scimpfluch-Gruppe style found in the previous four titles; I, II, III and IIII released on various other labels. The random bursts of sounds are great but the sporadic silence is the glue that brings it all together to form a brilliant listening experience. Powerfully mastered by Randy Yau, this release has all the aggressiveness of a Series III release but the small sounds and important silence found throughout forces it into the Series II group.

Dave Phillips has been performing since 1987 and is also involved in Ohne (1997-present), Fear of God (1986-88 & 2002-2003), Sudden Infant (1990-1996) and Schimpfluch-Gruppe (1991-present). Fans of Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock will love this CD. 1. wec 2. an 3. sc 4. rut 5. ini 6. zeo 7. ur 8. mo 9. ti 10. ve 11. sa 12. ndi 13. mp 14. ul 15. ses 16. we 17. ca 18. nkn 19. oww 20. hy 21. wea 22. ct 23. asw 24. ed 25. owe 26. ca 27. nap 28. pro 29. ach 30. ap 31. oi 32. nta 33. tw 34. hi 35. ch 36. ou 37. rac 38. tio 39. ns 40. ar 41. eth 42. er 43. esu 44. lts 45. ofo 46. ur 47. cho 48. ic 49. es 50. wh 51. en 52. we 53. ar 54. ec 55. on 56. sci 57. ous 58. eve 59. ry 60. thi 61. ng 62. wed 63. owi 64. ll 65. bed 66. on 67. ef 68. orr 69. eas 70. ons 71. we 72. ca 73. nk 74. no 75. wa

REVIEWS

• “On IIIII, Phillips recorded work proves to be just as absurdist, nihilistic, and nauseating as his performances. The noise comes quite sporadically, and when it does, Phillips clobbers you over the head with volatile sick tones and splattered distortion; but the bulk of IIIII waits with a tense silence until wooden hammerings, demonic growlings, blister-pricked ruptures, and unsettling screams shatter the empty spaces. As a result, Phillips’ work is far more nervewrecking that maximalists like Merzbow or The New Blockaders. Even if you have a stomach strong enough for R.H.Y. Yau and Runzelstirn & Gurglestock, Phillips makes for very difficult listening.” – Aquarius Records
