Trocante Gramofony E.P. was originally released in an edition of 500 copies on transparent white vinyl as Praxis 33. It was a departure from Nomex’s releases on his own Adverse label and was naturally quite different from the DJ  Scud collaborations on Maschinenbau. In relation to his other solo work, Trocante Gramofony is perhaps less conceptual and more composed.

‘Fire Is The Centre’ features vocal snippets recorded at a Dead By Dawn party sometime between 1994-1996. Some of these snippets had been used on the Dead By Dawn record by Shitness & The Jackal, but here they were embedded in a surging wall of noise spread over the first side of the record, complete with crackles, shrieks and ever mounting intensity.

The second side opens with ‘Life Destroy’ an intense collage of voice, noise and music and ends with ‘No-Step 2000’.

With its in between parts, noise fragments and locked grooves vinyl shows its specific possibilities, while the digital version consists of the three main tracks.
