Atrax Morgue - 6 albums

Cut my throat - improv moog knob turning, this is the AM i try to avoid.

new york ripper - Multilayered horror soundtrack, very good!

Paranoia - Over the top PE vocals, "evil" whispering, very minimal moog loops of drones, sirens and alarms.

Sweetly - more evil whispering, nice running concept throughout. the electronics seem somewhat improvised on some tracks, not as layered or orchestrated as ripper or paranoia. The glitchyness in Sodomizing Sweetly really stands out and sounds good, but it's a little long at 7mins. Undermeat sounds like all improv and doesn't fit well with the other tracks.

Death-orgasm connector - super minimal single analog tone or pulse makes up the majority of the music on almost every track, with evil vocals over them. The exceptions are the first track which is almost acapella voice performance with feedback, at about 1:20, 2:40, a superthick zipzappy synthwash floods the speakers as the vocals' reach squealing crescendos. Track 2 Inside Your Body is definitely the standout track for its urgancy and forcefulness. The final track The Game Is Closed is also nice for the slow buildup towards the end.

Woundfucker - A whole album of horror soundtrack synth textures that never really goes anywhere. I love the sounds he chooses to make with with his wonderful toys but too much knob noodling and not enough concept for my ears. Listening to this i almost wonder what it would sound like with more instrumentation like percussion and more dynamic changes in the synths.
