“Copying and public performance highly encouraged!” , “Copyright rights denied!” screams off the release sheet of this Slovenian weirdo noise rock compilation. DRMK is a Slovenian “Collective for Development of Youth Culture” who have organised over 60 events in Ljubljana over the last 5 years. These “Youth Actions” combine live performance, video art, comics and even an art exhibition at an old castle. The organisation is non-profit, and aims to involve young people in creative development and performance. The DRMK ress release had this to say: “We will not stop our actions, because we believe that there are not enough alternative music and cultural events involving creative young people in the area of Ljubljana, Slovenia and the world. With voluntary work, enthusiasm and cooperation we do not close our eyes, but keep launching concrete actions and projects.“

The Drustvo Za Razvoj Mladinske Kulture have not only drawn together young Slovenian musicians and artists, but also hosted noise festivals featuring acts from Europe, the good old US of A, Japan and Australia. The second release in this series includes sonic punishment from Japanese noise-stalwart Merzbow, America's Crank Sturgeon, and Sweden's Moljebka Pvlse. The CD releases began not only to get the message of Slovenian noise-culture to the world at large, but to raise money for a DRMK sound system.

The bands differ in approach, but all are, abrasive, noisy and thoroughly rude. Avalanches of static, aircraft take-offs (and crashing), are interspersed with bizarre am radio rock, feedback loops, nonsensical yelling, and the dying blurps of analogue torture machinery. Masami Akita should be proud.

A great compilation for a great cause, not the least of which is to keep young people well and truly away from the modern demon of popular music and culture. Pick one of these up. Or why not 10?
