Reissue of an ultra-rare lathe cut from the UK experimental / noise perversions project, founded in 1991 by All Brentnall. Mlehst presents 40 minutes of cut-up noise experiments, with piercing noise, avant-garde / jarring interludes, and metallic drones. A challenging listen.

"Pedantic / Pessimistic" was originally produced as a clear vinyl lathe cut in 1998 by the legendary Peter King (and released on Mlehst's own Bandaged Hand Produce), in a tiny edition of 20 copies. King works out of a rural location in Ashburton, New Zealand, carving clear polycarbonate discs into records on a series of lathe-cutting devices. Mastered from original chrome cassette tape (one of the few Mlehst master tapes that still exist) from the original 1998 recordings.
