''In my hand a beautifully designed CD on Nihilist Records from Chicago. It contains four long soundscapish minimal noise-ambient 'constructions' developed by The New Blockaders and Stephen Meixner (Contrastate, track 1), Ice Yacht (Philip Sanderson of Storm Bugs, track 2 & 3) and Das Syntetische Mischgewebe (track 4).
I can only think that everything is art. It's how you look at it, what makes sounds beautiful, what makes a noise loud or, in contradiction, soothing. This is an album that defines noise not being noise, art not being art and reviews not being reviews. Another one to end up high in the Best of 2023 list.'' -Vital Weekly (The Netherlands) Aug.'23

about

'Das Schone Ist Nichts...' (Beauty Is Nothing...) features The New Blockaders in collaboration with Contrastate's Stephen Meixner (a.k.a. srmeixner), Ice Yacht (a.k.a. Philip Sanderson of Storm Bugs), and Guido Hübner (Das Synthetische Mischgewebe), all of whom have been musically active since the late 1970s / early-'80s.

Rupenus and Sanderson first collaborated in 1982 when they were both members of the neo-Dadaist / Industrial non-group Alien Brains. TNB and DSM first collaborated in 2008 on 'The Monosyllabic Bicycles...' LP (Equation.)

'Kein Stress Am Esstsich!,' which features spoken excerpts from TNB's manifesto, was originally performed at The Corsica Arts Club and The Foundry in London in 2004 / '05. The version presented here is a recent reworking of the original piece.

All of these collaborations show a different side to TNB, with a much more subdued / musique concrete approach than their trademark all-out noise assaults.
