Looking back at the 90s: Sounds Never Seen

"Looking back at the 90s" is a new series of features that we're doing.
Revisiting important, outstanding and possibly underrated Hardcore Techno related labels, artists and projects from the 90s era.
We're using information from the Hardcore Primer ( https://hardcoretechnoprimer.blogspot.com/ ) and our other publications, and we will provide listening examples for you as well.

These features will be more like short introductions / overviews, less like "in-depth reports". To give you a quick taste of the specific project and let you dive right in.
If you want to learn more and "dig deeper" - then the resources are out there!


Sounds Never Seen

Sounds Never Seen. What can be said about this label? The name is aptly chosen - you really won't find this kind of music elsewhere. Existing in the 90s, it stood out from all its peers - even in the Hardcore or Experimental Techno field.

Totally abrasive and hectic rhythms, but even more importantly, movie-like sounds, close to Dark Ambient - and all the tracks give off that crazy vibe of being recorded during live improvisation.

The sounds are a bit like a bastard child of Aphex Twin and PCP - if it is allowed to compare it this.

The label faltered too soon, but maybe one day we will hear sounds we have never seen again?

And it is a trip. 

You can also find the label on discogs: https://www.discogs.com/label/9619-Sounds-Never-Seen
