"Mind-blowing and space-expanding, an absolute spectacular object. Tape after tape, from degeneration to degeneration, with the sole help of an analog synthesizer Sequential Circuits Six-Trak, a microphone connected with a Yamaha multi-effect, tape decks and a mixer, Marco Corbelli blows up emotions and delusions, cutting out the hard way inspired portraits of phobias and deviation. With this minimal equipment Marco has created all his shocking early cassettes, always characterized by his cold, sick and querulous synthesizer; pitch perfect for the industrial movement into which he first emerged. These aspects of his practice are particularly drawn into the light by the main manifesto of Atrax Morgue -- the analysis of the death, his perfection and complete habituation: injections of death to continue to live! Beautifully brilliant, profoundly ambitious and crucial in constructing a more inclusive vision of Atrax Morgue's deep, extensive work, From Degeneration To Degeneration box set represents an absolute approach to the industrial and noise scene in the nineteens. The putrescence is palpable, and one could almost smell and taste the miasma of decay that pervades the entire box. Anxiety, alienation, and hypochondria turn into a deep paranoia in pain. Without hesitation, the bodies are emptied, leaving the field to an electronics purulence of rare power disconcerting. The psychopathological sound is white, painful and horrific; creates a mental alteration that initiates brutal operation of psychic surgery, neuroses and split personality. Crosses terrifying rooms lit by neon lights, corridors filled with gruesome tools, machines of blood and bits of human tissue floating in jars of formalin. The hum of the synth, the roar of noise and fights razor are often repeated loops, where each track has a compact structure, following the main theme (of death). An absolute triumph and essential on every count for fans of industrial and synth/experimental music and a hallucinatory and intense set of finely tuned and tectonic form pieces. A tour-de-force survey of Corbelli's remarkably diverse vision within the industrial and noise scene. Contains reissue of complete Slaughter Productions tapes titles. 12 cassettes in black wooden box 12" size; second edition of box set comes with a 40-page book with original credits from every cassette and Marco Corbelli's pics with some completely new shots, two A4 size inserts glossy coating with two unpublished Marco Corbelli self-portraits and never seen before, one postcard with unpublished Atrax Morgue self-inflicted wound pose, an official certificate hand numbered with silver ink in 99 copies and a big poster; includes download code." - Urashima.
