It's a pleasure to report that Noise/ Girl isn't just a clever name - this now-defunct Japanoise outfit submerges DJ moves in bathtubs of fuzzin' churn and fritzin' skree until the bathroom's teeming with evil bubbles. Sometimes the group just goes straight for the madness switch: "Before the Carnival" progresses from faint new age cathedral vocals to gathering-storm fizz-blitz roar, and "Alice in Boogie Wonderland" is a massive, overloaded nexus of nihilism, as though several John Wiese tracks were simply played all at once. But then on the title track, dance-floor techno gets mutilated by way of level adjustments that render the music a kinetic, corroded blur, and "Alive" perverts the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" into a scowling bad-acid flashback, chewing up the iconic falsettos and polyester-pantsuit beats only to spit them back out coated in bloody phlegm.
