This album was released as one-sided C-90 in a limited edition on "Matching Head Records", label which is still active and run by Lee Stokoe (from the musical project CULVER). The MUTANT APE tape, cover above - reproduced smaller to save your
blushes at work, contains three tracks of satisfyingly metallic junk noise
and nostril-flaring catharsis. It provoked much nodding in approval
here at blog and comes highly recommended. That is all.

MUTANT APE is the wild noise project by Yorkshire, UK resident George
Proctor. He runs also the independent harsh noise / industrial label releasing since 2005 over 500 cds, cdrs, cassettes, LPs, 10”s and 7”s.
This new work is an intense and relentless discharge of cavemen
electronics and obsessive noise with dirty male vocal textures in the
upper layers. LP comes in a deluxe silver silk screen on black cardboard sleeve limited to 120 hand numbered copies w/insert. The decaying, slippery throng of voices just under our primary internal
psychoauditory narrative. The sounds heard coming in from out on the
street, the way they then loop, stretch, and dance within harsh noise. They
play out, tear up into shreds, and dissipate. After an "ambient" of some
time, we say “oh” aloud. “Oh!” Sing a line of nonsense. You can sing
anything! The noise is sucked out and away, but may be analyzed within, spun into
hay and burned. The lungs explain. A dog barks and disappears. The blue
light of a UFO slips into soundwaves and becomes a hum. The hum becomes a
fractured voice, finds a body with two lungs, vocal cords, a head. The
body of a person in a forgetting place, a forgetting voice as it ages
now. Opressive industrial noise.

One of the most gradually absorbing and stunning harsh noise acts I've
ever seen, he ventures out from his Bradford hideaway rarely but that's
not because he's actually a mutant ape; although if these primal
ancestors of ours were given a kaoss pad it this would be the sonic
result. A devastatingly enjoyable racket. Thurston Moore put out one of
his records so go figure...

"Murder Book" is a b-side project of George Proctor started in 2005 and still active. The goal of this b-side project is apparently not to repeat the same agressive MUTANT APE musical style, but to work more in drone and ambient landscapes. Without to abandon distortion pedals and electronic noise sounds, Proctor show us here his "softer" side with very long tracks (until 25 minutes) full of drones, ambient music and very slow tempo. Until date Murder Book has fifteen releases, but this one could be one of most inspired.

"Marilyn"
Year: 2005
Country: UK
City: Yorkshire
Artist: George Proctor
Label: No Lyrics rec.
Format: cassette
Tracks: 10
Time: 56 min.
Genre: electronic
Style: Harsh Noise
Originally pressed on brazilian label now defunct "No Lyrics Tapes", "Marilyn" was reprinted for
the first time since it’s initial run in 2005 by the also already defunct label "Girlfriend Party Records". Featuring new artwork by
the owner Michael Siebert, "Marilyn" features an hour of
pulsing, intense harsh noise from George Proctor, known for his work as MUTANT APE as well as his work in the infamous "Turgid Animal Records". Recently some MUTANT APE releases has been made on mp3 format in Bandcamp, but not the case of "Marilyn" which is still difficult to find. After some listeners we can to affirm with total security here there are not musical influences at all but simple and raw harsh noise. No voices, no rhythms, no effects nor glitch but a pure discharge of electricity, like the worst tropical storm you can to imagine. Even those who don´t like harsh noise even not "ambient-noise" or similar softer sub-styles, will to can to appreciate this discharge, this nature... the angry nature which show us its worst face. I love the concept of this cover and artwork for the album, nothing to do with the typical and (excuse me) bored topics about: gore, bondage, terror, war, etc. etc... but an original contrast between the Marylin Monroe's beauty and fragility and that MUTANT APE brutality. It remind some THE RITA covers in the sense to compare female beauty and horrible harsh noise.
