Comment: SISTERS is a project from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, USA whose 4-track issue is dedicated to Christy Canyon, a retired famous porn actress who had been involved in more than 100 adult motion pictures. I like the phrase "Heaven is Christy Canyon falling in love with me" from the song Heaven Is by English synth pop/art pop/post-punk collective Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. I hoped maybe the outing does have a thematic sequel but there is no issues dedicated to Monica Roccaforte, Simona Valli, Erika Bella, for instance. Love seems to be dead in classical sense and all is virtually stimulated and filled in with simulacra. And it is propagated by the mainstream TV. Musically it is a thick, and lo-fi experiment full of stomping witch house and mutant hip-hop and ominous trap rhythms. I will give it the positive valuation especially in those tracks wrapped up in lethargic, vaporous noises as if coming out from different media and thereof providing a shamanic effect on a listener. In truth, this issue strengthens the tradition of industrial music with regard to such famous cases as Cosey Fanny Tutti as being a porn actress and porn as a part of her performance art, Genesis P-Orridge (another member from Throbbing Gristle) as a transgender human being and artist, and Jhonn Balance, and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (the core members of Coil) propagating a voluptuous (gay) sex through their music. The issue is a bit in the discography of Diabetic Koala.

Comment: it happened quite recently when I discovered such a label as Imaginary Albums which in fact had been in action in the first half of the 00s. The roster of the imprint involves such artists as Corpus Callosum, The History and Civilization of the Great Black Swamp, Laura Palmer, Hubre, Procrustes, Blasting Trout Overbite, Cookie Jar, Santa Inferno, The Harvey Girls, Swain, Tiny Creatures (the artist also being known from the roster of the Israeli imprint Birdsong. Thanks to it I discovered Imaginary Albums), and C.J Pizarro. The two first tracks (Dark Black Semen, Going To Die) apparently mock the violent gangsta rap philosophy and culture gravitating towards sex, guns, and dope. Of course, the rest of the tracks (or at least the most of them) have been managed to focus on these themes but they abandon the apparent stereotypical approach though carrying on a tongue-in-cheek advance and involving black humour (for instance, at Look! I'm an Angel!). Frequently comedy aspects are intermingled with experimental pop elements. For instance, at Alpacas R Us the artist exploits repulsively desperate vowel effects and chants and a battle of sonic effects being counterpointed by sublime a cappella and soulful singing here and there, However, there are up some tracks which used to distance from rap/hip-hop music. For instance, the final track Heaven and Milk running in the vein of artsy indie pop by employing sliding sonic effects and twanging guitars and exuberant singing.
