Hardcore B-sides: Vexing ventures into unusual genres by Hardcore Techno producers

When you think of hardcore techno you probably think of... hard gabber beats, profanities, screams, speedy hoovers, loud guitar samples... yet, on some hardcore releases, there were tracks included that are actually quite different to that. *very* different, to be exact. and that's what we are looking at here.

Hardcore B-sides: Unusual sonic occurrences in the realm of Hardcore Techno EPs

1. Delta 9 - Infidel (Disco Inferno EP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv92vAO1nm8
"strange" harsh noise track with a televangelist going off for a few minutes.

2. Test Tube Kid - H (H EP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InRJMDAjotU
odd otherworldly outer space ambient sounds!

3. Atari Teenage Riot - "Sex" (1995 CD)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDdMriUNmjU
not your brutal, aggro atr fare here... this is a very calm, downbeat, introverted track... apparently about dealing with aids?

4. Ec8or - Cheap Drops (Ec8or CD)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di3nYJGx9bQ
gina's not screaming here, the typical ec8or guitars and hardcore drums are missing... a surreal spoken word ambient work out, that's not like anything i heard before, or after.
oh, yeah: gina does actually scream, at the end

5. Society Of Unknowns - Dead By Dawn (The Endless Mix) (Society Of Unknowns EP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE2pjiQQsXQ
scary and distressing intro... then a cascade of strange and scifi sounds gets unleashed... almost like a twisted doomcore affair minus hard beats.

6. Somatic Responses - S.R. Communique With The Dead (Axon EP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ-8Te0XIAc
yes, S.R., what where you thinking here? what did you channel? what's the frequency, kenneth?

7. Eradicator - Starving - Fischkopf Hamburg ‎(Shortage of Oxygen EP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbIet-Kthw8
haunting dark ambient sounds over enchanting spoken words.

8. Taciturne - Liquid Theatre (Otaku CD)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzalYm-Mwds
if "eraserhead" would've been made by a French director in 1917... I think this track would have been the right soundtrack.
and yeah, i think this is the best way to describe this "style"

9. Further Individual Control - Subjected Break Pt. 2 (Acid Assault 03 EP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x958a40h0-M
full on acidcore... without the core... and beats... just acid bleeps, that keep you floating in space... with no return.

10. Orderly Chaos - Melt Away Love (Otaku CD)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfWlAPCVbYM
done by super-terror hardcore producer nawoto suzuki... we don't know what happened... but i guess this is the dark(est) ambient equivalent to heartbreak.
