I wrote this one about two weeks after I listened to it, so details are a *little* bit fuzzy. I start getting real in-depth at about 7.1. So this starts off RINGEX PLASTER's discography, this 6 hour mammoth. I think I'm gonna be skipping all the .2s (except for 9.2 cause xerbie wants me to listen to that one). What's interesting about this particular album is that every song is better than the last one, the last one being my favorite, and the first being my least favorite. It actually starts on a mediocre note, I didn't find myself that into the first song, and the second song had both some good moments and some bad moments. On the second track I especially started to like it around ten minutes in. The third track is where things start to get especially good though, incorporating long drawn out samples of whatever, a lot of them seeming to be things from Rika's life. There's a part in 3 where it's just a Super Smash Bros video, but I somehow legitimately felt emotion from that, like it was used *really* well, despite it *just* being a Super Smash Bros video. This album is just chock full of moments like that. There's a part in what I think is the fourth song where the end of it sounds like it's raining drums, reminded me a lot of id m theft able's 1 Drizzle and 7 Rains (for Billy). I mean RINGEX is basically id m theft able but with too much memes for its own good and sometimes (a lot of the time) bad. The reason I decided to go on this listening project was because it would be fun, not because it would be good. So much of RINGEX is bad, but wow, is it interesting. I especially like this added element of journalling everything as I go, because it really is more of something to talk about rather than something to appreciate. If you've ever seen Rika's video where they listen to the 2 month Bull of Heaven album, this reminds me a lot of that project (except farrrrr more interesting since it isn't just 10 days straight of drone [well... I suppose we'll cross the 16.1 bridge when we get to it]. But it's more of an experience. Also what makes this better than Bull of Heaven is that Rika legitimately sat through all of these songs. Like, you know you're listening to something that at the very least was intended to be artistic, and there's something to be said about that. Anyways, back to the album review: The first and second track I have very mixed feelings about, but three through six, those are tight. All very good tracks, *especially* the last one. That bit of chaos is just mmmm. Gotta respect the sampling of gamelan in that one too. Anyways, that's basically it.

11. Our country if poop was currency - 58:21
AAAAhhhh the second album. I had actually heard a good portion of this album a while back (thanks to xerbie) and my opionions of it then were significantly worse. Seemed a lot like amateur plunderphonics that was too memey for its own good. And while that *absolutely* still holds up, relistening to this, it's actually a decent album. The shit memes are nowhere near as prevalent as I thought they had been, despite them still obviously being there. Essentially every track on here felt like an average RINGEX PLASTER track, no especial comments for any particular one. If I were to try to convince somebody to get into RINGEX PLASTER, this would be a great starting point (even though I normally show people 1.1 since as of now, [currently listening to 8.1] that's my favorite). Oddly enough, track 11, Our country if poop was currency, is actually my favorite of the bunch. It's essentially an hour long drone track and despite it's damning and self-destructive name, I *really* enjoyed it. It's on the level of Kevin Drumm's work somehow. I have no clue how but this is legitimately one of my favorite drone pieces. Thanks RINGEX PLASTER for requiring me to mention "Our country if poop was currency" in a sophisticated conversation about drone music. I think that's about all I have to say for this decent, faux-political, joke and treasure of an album.

Apparently there were 5 other tracks on this album that were deleted. So I don't really have many opinions on this. The first track is good. The Toby one was jarring as fuck. The last one went on too long. I knocked this one out the same night that I did 2.1. After finishing listening to this release, I thought I was done with RINGEX PLASTER. 16.1 and 18.1 were already out at the time (this was only a couple weeks ago by the way) and the rest of this just seemed to daunting, and bad. I was fine with just having completed the Lawyer Trilogy and leaving it at that. *Especially* after having skimmed through 4.1 and thinking it was entirely white noise and then just deciding to give up. At some point down the line, I was linked to Rika's 2 Month Long Bull of Heaven video, and I realized, they legitimately care about this music. They legitimately sat through all of it (yes, even the 16 hour Bull of Heaven tribute) and maybe there was something I was missing. So here I am, currently sitting through 8.1, and preparing for the absolute mental death that will be 16.1. God help me.

So, this one at first glance is literally 50 minutes of white noise. Listening to it though, there's actually things under the white noise, it seems like a giant raw data squash thing is what I'll guess. There's like small subtle synths and melodies under the white noise, so there's actually something there rather than just it. Although throguh the course of 50 minutes, it does fade away a bit. Somehow, I actually liked this one a bit. I thought this would be absolute Hell, but hey, I ranked it above 3.1 so ya know. EDIT: After some thinking (as of November 28th), I actually ranked 3.1 higher because of thinking about how I should rank 16.1. 3.1 is most definitely a better listening experience than this now that I think about it.

I actually heard this one in full a while back, even before Electromagnetic Compact Discs was a real thing (at least before Jojo released Absolute Wack) when xerbie played it in the Venetian Snares server through the music bot, hence this one was already in my last.fm. Anyways, this one was extremely good, I absolutely loved the use of samples, somehow they consistently manage to use samples extremely well. My one complaint is the stupid fucking Onision rant, but other than that, amazing album. Relistening, even the Onision rant wasn't as bad as I remembered, so maybe my taste is worsening or maybe it was actually that good the whole time. I have absolutely no clue. My taste in music has gotten exponentially more fucked in the past year than ever (to the point where I'm unironically jamming to Burqa Boyz [what an oxymoron]) before so who's to say. This one's tight, love the use of Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills. And fucking "Should I Stay or Should I Poop" god damn that shouldn't have been funny but Jesus that was used absolutely perfectly. I suppose what I've taken from this is I have the absolute worst music taste ever.

7. th slip - 6:40
Wow, this one was amazing. Such a good album minus a couple complaints, not my favorite from RINGEX only cause 1.1 exists. Ariel Pink's Unspecific Action Figure started off weak (noticing a theme with these albums here), but after that, things were consistently great. Food Boys of Network (Worthy of a Seven) was my favorite track on the album (mostly because of This Is An Original Performance [which was absolutely perfect, even though it was probably intended as a joke]). Interestingly enough, this album was also put onto a label, probably explains why it seems a bit more effort was put into this one than some others. This Is An Original Performance seems like something I would've recorded when I'm bored, also sounds like an id m theft able track exactly (mostly cause of the tendency to impulsively record sounds we find interesting [I've got a giant list of voice memos I'm planning on sampling at some point that are that]). Also the whole Real Pony track was a banger. I absolutely loved that jarring experience, it's albums like this which are why I'm making it through this absolute messterpiece of a discography. Wish me luck on the rest of these, especially the dreaded 16 and 18. The only real thing I can say about those is, at least those aren't memeing themselves to death, rather they've paulstretched themselves into oblivion. The whole Bull of Heaven thing is going to be absolute Hell I can feel it.

Oh my, this one was terrible. I hated this one for the most part. All the side stuff didn't function any more than bookmarks. gp field was so god awful, I will never listen to that again. 79 minutes of TF2 sound effects is just too much for me. I don't even like TF2 to begin with, so this is just nothing, felt like I was listening to two TF2 lets plays at once, it was fucking annoying. I have no clue how I made it through this. I was listening to that particular track while I was doing notes, so I suppose I let it fade into the background, which is the real key to actually getting this massive and ambitious as Hell project done. Trade. felt like nothing. It was I think 2 clips of talking in TF2 trade chat or something (I wouldn't know, I haven't played the game, it doesn't appeal to me). The main problem with this album is I just felt like I was listening to nothing throughout the whole thing, I don't understand how I can make it through 3 and a half hours of TF2 sound effects. It's like I went into the game's files and just sequentially played every audio file in the game. Good things I can say about this album: An Ode to Cactus Canyon was certainly interesting. RED Triumphs! was a legitimately good track, I enjoyed that one. It was like 4 avant-garde jazz tracks layered over each other it was absolutely awesome, ya know, minus the samples from the Team Fortress 2 rant videos. Those were of course, annoying, and felt like an additional bit of nothing sitting atop this paste suflet of an album. I will never come back to this one. There was like 10 seconds of breakcore on either track 5 or 6 and that was slightly fun at the time. At about halfway through RED Triumphs! I paused it and went to sleep cause I had started listening to the album again after coming back from a football game and wowww I was tired, and this exhausting album didn't totally help. I unpaused it the following morning and felt better about listening. So I liked the last few tracks a bit more than the first few, and that may be because of my lack of sleep previously, but I'm pretty sure the last few are just better. But they don't at all make up for the Hell that was gp field (and Trade. for that matter). One word to describe this album: "Fatigue".

Sooooo many things to say about this one, wowwwww. THIS is Ringex Plaster in 4 and a half
hours basically. This is what you get. There's really bad, and really good here. There's parts that make you
jam out, and parts that make you feel like your mom forced you to go and supervise your middle-school sister
and her group of friends. I think the best way to *truly* articulate my thoughts about this album is to go
track by track. Starting with Act I: I Don't Think I've Set Up My Mic Yet, this song was *jamming*. I really
liked this. For context though, This morning, November 21st of 2020, I finished 7.1, then wanted to fucking
die, then played an actual good album, CDR's self-titled. I took a break for a bit, then started 8.1 which I
managed to finish in one whole sitting *somehow* (NOTE: Overdose on RINGEX PLASTER AT YOUR OWN RISK - The
Daily Recommendation is ONE HOUR MAXIMUM. Any more over has been known to cause Insanity, as after an hour of
exposure, damage to the brain stem is detectable [that's right guys, I'm putting myself through physical
danger just for you]). Anyways, not really much more to say about it than I started it and was surprised at
how good it was. Next track, - There are a few reasons why I do not enjoy Discord, was fine. It wasn't
anything really special, and the Text to Speech got grating after a while. I guess kinda cool. - BRIAN GETS
ROASTEd is another of my favorite cuts from this album, I absolutely *loved* the distorted rap and all the
shit in it, it was great, I highly recommend that one. - Hi, Welcome to Chili's, This Is Why You're My
Inspiration for Comedy was fucking terrible lol. Felt like I was listening in on my sister's Discord calls,
the whole thing just absolutely reeked of degeneracy. I started it thinking it was a satirical sample, but it
slowly dawned on me that this recording, at some point, was (and maybe is) Rika's reality. Eh, whatever, it's
probably terrible for me to judge others for their friends, I should probably not do that. - What happened to
sans, the last track in Act I felt like a combination of all the previous tracks, it had its good, it had its
bad, and it had its fatiguing use of sampling annoying Discord calls (which will be a theme of fatigue
throughout this album). Act II: To April 1st & Beyond... (Destroy Discord: The Bot), also an extremely
fatiguing Discord call.- Draw! Durry!, I remember this one having a lot of low static and I kinda liked it.
No particular thoughts on it. - FoFoMoMo (Cruel Onwards, I Now Revoke My Remorse), gotta be honest, I don't
remember this one at all, it probably wasn't anything special. [Also I'm not gonna skim through again cause
I'm still finishing Act V (but I only got like 4 minutes left of that). - Monitor me. was absolutely amazing,
even through it was just a progressively pitched down and reverbed loop of a thing, it was done absolutely
perfectly, got rid of a lot of the fatigue. Sadly halfway through that one, my internet went out and I had to
wait a couple minutes for it to come back on. But that one's also a favorite cut. - A beautiful home. is
contender for favorite track on the album (along with - BRIAN GETS ROASTEd). T'was a Discord call remix,
didn't sound like RINGEX at all, sounded more along the lines of stAllio!, but it was done really well, then
it was interrupted by some text to speech, then went into this weird thing that sampled dubstep, but it was
done perfectly, loved it. Act III: FunnyChan Life-in-Death (The Reboot), also mostly forgot this one. -
recorded conversation was some well deserved noise/drone, I quite enjoyed it. - funnytalk for three (let's
record a commentary) is probably my least favorite track on the whole thing, it was so god awful. Again,
sounded like I was listening in on my sister's Discord calls, except this time, longer, and more annoying,
but part of that may have been due to fatigue. - shut up kid, it's exploit weekend <3, was more of that, but
with more weird noises, so I liked it slightly more. Still hated it though. - new trigger word list (please
follow!) felt like it had absolutely no value, it wasn't good, it wasn't bad, my life did not change at all
from listening to that track, I don't particularly know why it's here (but that point will be kind of
contradicted later in this paragraph). Act IV: Epikrika was also some well deseved drone, a nice break from
the annoying slew of Discord-call tracks, but it did go on for a bit long. Each - track was an extention of
that drone, but each were different noises and I liked them sufficiently. The last, and final track, Act V:
The Logical Conclusion of FunnyWave, was a chaotic slew of noise and weird dubstep samples. Really just a
mashup of the themes on this album (minus Discord for some reason, not that I'm complaining, I didn't
particularly like that theme anyways). But yea, this track was extremely fun, even though some parts did go
on for a while, it all felt like one big thing and was quite the positive end to this album that I thought
would've ended poorly due to act III and IV (IV I didn't like *that* much cause it felt like it went on way
too long). I especially liked the ending of it too. So overall thoughts on the album, this was *such* a mixed
bag, but I think all the Discord tracks place it right below 2.1. If it weren't for those, it would probably
be just above it. This was a fucking trip. One more point I have to address, the review of this album was
pretty pointless cause I wasn't even supposed to listen to this one according to Rika, who says "A fun look
back on the worst friend group ever made! This is not made for you Unless you really know the lore! Otherwise
This ,music all sounds meaningless !!! I'm sorry I will make something that other ppl are allowed to listen
to next time. But until then, leave... I am genuinely really sorry to anyone who appears on this thing;
Letr;'s pretend this never happened". So what was the point? I don't know, but it felt like a net positive.
Fucking hated the Discord call tracks, but I guess there was apparently some point to them. Not including
those, pretty good album, probably the perfect start to their discography if you want to get into RINGEX
PLASTER, since it's really RINGEX warts and all. [UPDATE AS OF OCTOBER 19th, 2021: RINGEX changed the
artwork. Roxy says it's for privacy and abstraction reasons. Also track 16 has been renamed to simply "Act
IV:", Roxy apparently no longer wants to be connected with the YouTube channel. Roblox is done for good I
suppose.] (UPDATE AS OF DECEMBER 3rd 2021: A few of these tracks have been replaced with 16 seconds of
silence now, cause Roxy hates her pre-transition voice (she said she was okay with me saying that, leaving
that on the record) but I think they were the god awful tracks, so I'm not really upset. I kinda expected
this to be deleted a long time ago because of the album being themed around friend group inside jokes and
the description telling me not to listen to it.) [UPDATE AS OF FEBRUARY 20th, 2022: It changed again, same
thing as 2.2, I have no clue as to why. Although this change is a LOT more noticable, it's pretty much an
entirely different artwork now. I guess it's the old one but with a ripple effect over the whole thing].
1. Mobile Songs - 106:31
2. Mobile Songs II - V - 28:31
Started and finished this November 22nd (Gonna get through a lot of these this Thanksgiving break) not in one sitting cause I had lunch about 2/3 of the way through the first track. I went into this one thinking it was going to be yet another terrible, fatiguing, nonsensical excuse for an album (because I had skimmed through it a little before). And while it certainly did start out sounding like nothing, around 20 minutes in, I found myself sufficiently entertained. At that time, I still hadn't had a clue of what the hell was going on in this album (and as I'm nearing the close of Mobile Songs II - V as of writing this, I only have a bit of one), but wow, for an album with such a simple premise, this should be terrible. But I quite liked it regardless. Somehow. This is probably the most confusing album for me so far, it's like.. It's kinda like the TF2 album, except instead of TF2, it's things from iPhones/iPads, which makes it 100 times better instantly (cause I already very much don't like TF2). This also just wasn't grating at all and didn't feel like the same slew of the same chaotic sounds for multiple hours, it actually had quite a few sections in it, both with things you could recognize and things you couldn't. The part with the Angry Birds theme especially made me question my sanity because each of the melodies seemed slightly off and I was wondering if they did that themselves or if Rika just straight sampled and didn't do anything with them. Regardless, perfect use of sampling. What's interesting is Mobile Songs is quite a bit more segmented, structured, and chaotic than Mobile Songs II - V, as that one delves into droney, reverby landscapes while the first is more of a mobile collage. I especially liked the ending of Mobile Songs, and this segment I'm on right now (about 25 minutes in) in Mobile Songs II - V is *extremely* well done. Props to Rika for pleasantly surprising me on this one.
1. Live @ Roblox Mall V.6.0 Apr 22nd 2020 - 7:34
Xerbie really wanted me to listen to this one for some reason so I did (or rather, am, as I'm writing this). This will probably be the only .2 I listen to, unless I get bored/depressed after finishing 21 and decide to do all the .2s (which would be absolutely Hell if I went through that sort of withdrawl, remind me *NEVER* to do that). This was chaotic but in a way that it didn't last so long. It was a pretty good song, ya know, sounded like RINGEX PLASTER. I don't really understand why xerbie wanted me to listen to this one so badly.

Part one of the review: November 22nd, I listened to 9.1 this morning, followed by 9.2 after a break, then Cheer-Accident's Enduring the American Dream, then this album from track 1 to 12. (Or rather I'm in the last couple minutes of 12 as of writing this) [and yes, I'm that much of a fucking loser that I sat in front of my computer all Sunday listening to RINGEX PLASTER and playing Minecraft. What a waste of a day, it's 7:10 PM already. I was meaning to get some MTS AIRMASS stuff done. Lame.] So this is *kind of* RINGEX's Vaporwave album, but like... It feels *more* than vaporwave, ya know? I would probably compare this most to christtt, but ya know, way more memey and less serious (this one actually cooled itself on the memes quite a bit). [Alright 12 just ended, I'm gonna pause the album here, finish the first half of my review, go eat, work on MTS AIRMASS, and finish this album tomorrow.] Probably gonna approach reviewing this one like I did with 8.1 and go track by track here. Number one, i hate it here, is some noise. Pretty good, I liked it, only 30 seconds. pad chennington diss track is next and that song actually got a bit grating with it's weird text to speech stuff but all the weird-ass background noise definitely made up for that, that track was a net positive at the end of the day [sidenote: One thing I noticed about this album is that until a certain point {which is a fucking brick wall}, this album is *really* good at not overstaying its welcome. Whereas on a bunch of other RINGEX albums/songs, I criticized them for the noise lasting too long, this one kinda timed everything perfect {until some obvious moments, but we'll get to that}]. simpl was fun, I liked it. my diet philosophy is where things started getting that vaporwave, but more, kinda feel, it was also pretty noisy. It was around here where I first had the thought, "Oh my, 1.1 might not actually be RINGEX's best work...". This album was just chock full of fun cool moments up until track 9. Track 9 is an interesting one. Seems to be a distorted recording of vacuum cleaning, but after a bit some things actually start happening. We got the distorted recording of some live band that sounds like they're practicing in the other room and it was absolutely perfect, I loved it. Track 9 was awesome. Track 10 and 11 were also cool and fun and whatnot. They were mostly just drone/noise, they worked. Then we hit the 45 minute brick wall that is track 12. You know christtt's no end at the end of no lives matter? Well, basically take that, multiply it by two, and do a sub-loop of effects that fade in and out. Then multiply that by three, because there's 3 songs that loop throughout this thing. It got incredibly boring by the end, but to give it credit I did quite like the loop for a while. Also at around 20 minutes in when the song switched to like 2 measures ahead that we haven't heard before, I got *really* pleasantly surprised and loved it. But then that kinda faded off and the track got boring again. But like, somehow it was still kinda a good track..? I don't exactly know how but like, I liked the experience somewhat, despite boredom. So far, this might actually rank above 1.1... we'll see how the rest of this plays out tomorrow. End of part one.
Part two of the review: Alright it's now November 23rd. CAUTION: This album is awesome, but it only works if everything you hear is a surprise. If you ever consider listening to this (or even *JUST* the hour long track at the end) PLEASE avoid this review as it contains major spoilers whose surprises are integral to fully appreciating this for what it is. Today I went in to help sort the music library (and got to take home some shit from the 1960s that will be put in some EMCDs soon) and got to knock out this one, 11.1, and most of 12.1. So after hearing rofl, I thought this part of the album would be significatly worse due to the 40 minute song followed by the hour long song which I thought were both situations like rofl. That was certainly not the case. I started with playin with her space echo... and *woww* this one brought back memories... this is a vaporwaved/delayed version of Air's Cherry Blossom Girl and Jesus Christ it was done perfectly, rung in my head for the rest of it. I totally forgot this song existed I used to listen to Talkie Walkie all the time back when I was like 4. big boner down the lane was fucking wack and actually made me laugh. It's like the same half-second loop of an anime moan but sometimes it's pitched down for 7 minutes. Like, this is obviously a "bad" track, but it somehow worked considering the whole experience. bum shine was fucking jarring, but more general vaporwave. same thing with impossible mother. Those two managed to actually get something out of me somehow. I think owo 3-2-1 is literally the exact same song as big boner down the lane, but again, it somehow worked within the context, but maybe that's my brain deteriorating from too much RINGEX PLASTER. The next song is literally that again, but slightly reverbed, then after 7 minutes it changes to some of your general expected, RINGEX PLASTER, and *yet again* it somehow works. I quite liked that glitchy beat at the end. fascism is a death cult is that one korean spongebob toy thing and I laughed at that in like an "oh, fuck off" way, it was absolutely hilarious. i like the you that is me.... This was so fucking amazing, it was some drone/ambient/noise for 40 minutes, but it sounded perfect, it was segmented, it progressed absolutely perfectly, I loved every sound, this just carressed and entertained my ears for 40 minutes. This is why I sit through RINGEX PLASTER. Just to find moments like this. Only complaint, the last ten minutes go on for a bit and it's quite a bit fatiguing since it's just a bass buzz. Other than that, it's absolutely perfect. Now for the curvature, which is also extremely perfect. Although this one starts like your more run-of-the-mill RINGEX, it quickly deteriorates into just what this album is good at (and actually sounds basically like a cut from 1.1). There's actually some breakcoreish stuff (using amens and whatnot) in the first ten minutes, and that whole breakdown was done sooo perfectly. Those breaks at ten minutes in fukkkkkkkk yea I loved that part so much wow. Also that part from like 20 minutes in for like 10 minutes where it goes around and samples all these hilarious things/mangles them (actually it even samples Cherry Blossom Girl agian [and again, does it perfectly]. There's a part where Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works II is playing over the weirdest fucking sounds ever. There's a part where the What's New Scooby Doo? theme song gets vaporwaved. Then, The Pretender gets sampled at some point, and *that* blew me away, because that is another really nostalgic song that I totally forgot existed for like multiple years. At around 35 minutes in, all that shit cuts out, and then it's The Pretender played in its *entirety* (but vaporwaved) and it's hilarious. Then there's some dubstep song that that also gets done to. Then the next ten minutes are some vaporwave thing that gets looped and progressively stretched out until the final stretch and loop and reverb that it sits on for the last ten minutes. Everything was totally perfect on this one, I'd give it a straight 9 out of ten, just for big boner down the lane, owo 3-2-1, rofl, and the last ten minutes of i like the you that is me being quite fatiguing. Other than that, perfect album, it uses 4 and a half hours very well. So far this is my favorite, I don't expect it to be topped.

So this wasn't expected at all. A straight breakcore (for the most part) release from Rika. Just two tracks that do some drone into progressive breakcore, and it's done really well. Sounds straight up like a breakcore producer. Putting it above 1.1 because it sounds really good, it's breakcore. There's not really much to say about this one, because it's good, but not in the way that I have to explain why. Just listen to it.

This was kinda like 12.1 but in Arabic... so I have even less a clue of what I just listened to (alright enough with that bit, I'll actually go somewhat in-depth this time). So I listened to this and 14.1 yesterday (November 24th) and 12.1 on the 23rd [and currently listening to 15.1 now on the 25th as I write these next couple reviews]. The problems with 13.1 is that despite being completely uncanny and terrifying, it just wasn't interesting at all, it didn't really do anything with the material at the end other than leave you confused (just listen to it if you don't know what I'm on about). This one was like that, except I could actually successfully actively listen to it, it was a solid, fun release. Since all the source material was low-quality Arabic stuff, I had some fun with it. I mean that's really it though, not much to be said about it other than "Fun and interesting". This is basically 12.1, but done right. I don't know what exactly that means but two extremely confusing albums in a row are just screwing with my head.

This one was more "okay" than anything else. It kinda felt like direct source material sometimes rather than plunderphonics, it didn't totally do much with it. This felt like a window back into 2010 which was nice though. I was sufficiently interested the whole time, but it didn't really feel like music. It was an enjoyable experience with nice sounds and all, but I can't really call it "good" ya know? Kinda just felt like I queued up a bunch of these viral interview videos. But it was definitely a net positive experience. I don't know if I'll listen to it for a good while. This album overall is just fine I suppose. That's it.

This one went by relatively fast (I think going through Ringex's discography has vastly improved my patience [also noted by the fact that as of writing this, I'm 41 minutes into the dreaded 16.1 and I haven't really lost interest]). Anyways, this one was really drony and noisy, felt more along the lines of some noise producer, except ya know, mixed in with shit that was just way too memey for its own good. Note the amount of times Never Gonna Give You Up and the Roblox Death Sound were used. You know, there is an actual good noise album in here, it's just crowded by all the terrible memes. Like I'd say it was a good album, it was a relatively positive experience. The memes weren't actually *that* prevalent (except for on For JJ5x5), just when they were, they were jarring in a bad way. So it was a good album, but just way too memey for its own good really. Again, not much to say about this one, it was a fairly consistent album (except For JJ5x5 being considerably worse than everything and For Minish being quite the drone masterpiece [what a moment of critical whiplash right there]). I think that's about it.

AAAAAAAAAA. So I'm gonna review these pretty much track by track then go over the whole experience (because currently I'm on track 3 and I won't be done with this for another few days and I want to talk about RINGEX PLASTER). So track 1 I started yesterday, the 25th. So I can't really accurately judge this on being exactly *good* perse, cause it's really just a Bull of Heaven album. I mean after all, this *is* Rika's Bull of Heaven tribute, and it does a good job of that. The problem with Bull of Heaven though is that they're quite a bit more conceptual than they are... listenable. Like their ideas are great, they just... don't do anything with them (not that they even can because the idea itself is just about formats). So the first track on this... I had originally skimmed through it thinking it was the same looping thing but it did actually gradually (and unnoticably) change over the course of the hour interestingly enough. Also every once in a while there would be this loud glitchy noise oddly enough. It was a kind of interesting track somehow, I'm gonna give it that. Alright, it's the morning of November 27th, I finished track 3 last night and I'm currently listening to This Heat's self-titled album (speaking of, that might be how I go about listening to this thing. In between every track, listen to an actually good album). So second track, we got an hour of wind this time. Sometimes the wind was reverby enough to create an odd drone sound. It was interesting for a while until it got boring. But hey, that's Bull of Heaven for you. I find that after watching the 2 month long Bull of Heaven video from Rika, it's a lot easier to approach this album and like it a bit. Like seriously, I think this won't go into the Never Again pile. Because it's actually somewhat good for what it is. Anyways track 3 which I finished yesterday on the 26th (I only got a couple done cause yesterday was Thanksgiving so I only listened to it before and after festivities). Track 3 was the most interesting yet. It was these slowed down/looped (so it was completely unintelligible) voices [which are actually commonly found in Bull of Heaven tracks] but what was interesting about this is those loud, brief glitching sounds you would hear very occasionally throughout the first track, you would hear *very* often on this one. And this one I could legitimately not tell if sections looped at all or not because there always seemed to be some part I had never heard before up until the end of the track. So that one was actually sufficiently interesting. Also as a sidenote at that point I started listening to Death Grips for a couple minutes in the middle of it cause I was screwing around on Discord the whole time. And plus, after watching the whole 2 month long Bull of Heaven video, it's not like Rika intended me to pay attention to every second of it anyways. I also can't listen to *that* many tracks of it today because I've got a thing for most of the day. I will be able to chunk through quite a few tomorrow however. Alright, as I'm writing this, it's November 28th. Yesterday I got through track 4 and I'm listening to 5 now. Track 4 was a low rumble with some very occasional loud glitch noises like heard earlier throughout. Probably the least interesting one so far. Although track 5 seems to be less interesting as of now. Track 5 (now that it's over [I'm 2/3 through 6 now]) is very similar to 4.1 reviewed earlier, although it's significantly less white-noise and seems more corrupted. This track feels most comparable to Harsh Noise Wall, pretty good actually, I have to retract my statement earlier about it being not as interesting. Now track 6 (which I'm still only 2/3 through) is really interesting. The first thing you notice is just that really neat bells sound right off the bat with some interesting skips in it too. The sound goes on for about a minute until it abruptly stops... then fades back in again, starting slowly and quickly speeding back up to normal tempo. At first glance, that seems to loop for the entirety of the track, but listening to it, it becomes clear that each loop is slightly different, some of them sound like slightly different drones, some of them last for different lengths, and everything. But it all does really sound the same. At around 40 minutes in (which is where I'm at right now), the loops seem to be quite a bit more frequent. Also there might be a pattern of loops which I haven't noticed or caught on to yet. See, the thing that RINGEX does different to Bull of Heaven (which actually kinda makes the tribute a bit unfaithful, but also significantly better than Bull of Heaven) is that Rika makes subtle differences in between each loop, or rather uses the same algorithm to stretch out sounds as Bull of Heaven does, but actually stretches out a sounds rather than stitching together a bunch of looped 7zips. But anyways, here you can hear subtle changes throughout the track, whereas in Bull of Heaven, you cannot. So yesterday (the 28th also) I managed to finish track 7, therefore finishing all of the "This Sculpture in the Memory Is Not Without Preestablished Harmony" segment of the album. Track 7 right off the bat was *really* good. This was a straight up drone track, but first, I quite liked the drone, and second, there seemed to be no real loops rather than the drone which changed a little over the course of the track and faded out at the end. This one is most similar to Our country if poop was currency off of 2.1. It's also propbably most warranted of wenton's paulstretch criticism however, as this one seems like that was a feasible method of how this was created. But somehow, I managed to enjoy it quite a bit. Time to start the next segment, "And the Bones and the Sinews Were Polished by the Wear". Track 8 seems to be a looping stretch of a low rumble. It's only a minute long though, so it's relatively listenable. Track 9 seems to be a loop of a different, but extremely similar low rumble. Track 10 seems to be an extention of that (oh no, it seems like this is about to be the least listenable segment of them all). Okay, I'm almost done with Track 13 and I can confirm that they're all the same low rumble loop. It's getting quite... something. This is probably my least favorite moment on the album. Especially since after this, I have another 64 minutes. This is the length of two excerpts of the first segment, which even those went on for too long many times, this is just insane. However, this is *still* not as fatiguing as some of the tracks on Welcome to Team Fortress 2, because those were just so chaotic they actively hurt to listen to. This is just... boring. So track 14 (the last portion of this) just started and I noticed something that I noticed on track 7. Track 7 (and probably the previous tracks too) started with a bit of a higher-pitched explosion, and I had thought that that track would be somewhat different than the others because it was higher pitched, but halfway through that track, it had seamlessly gone back to the low-pitched rumble loop from earlier so long ago that I had completely forgotten about it. Track 14 just did that as well... Interesting. I think that's about the only interesting thing in this series of tracks though. After this, I'll be over halfway through (yay). Alright through this last track in this segment, I'm just gonna watch a couple episodes of Superstore because I don't want to just sit through this. Alright, it's December 1st, and I'm currently a little ways through track 18, so time to recount *a lot* that has happened. Yes, the rest of And the Bones and the Sinews Were Polished by the Wear was equally as boring as the beginning, nothing happened throughout all of it, that was an actively bad track (or rather, segment, since it was like 7 tracks) out of the bunch. The Mongols Were Pagan, Neither Moslem Nor Christian I started the same day as the other one (so like two days ago on the 29th iirc) and paused in the middle, went to sleep, and finished yesterday on the 30th. It actually was a really cool drone at first, but it surprisingly quickly became fatiguing. And it was also quite long, at a staggering 91 minutes, meaning that throughout the course of the track, it increasingly felt like a slog of nothing, reminding me a bit of the Team Fortress 2 album. Is this an actively bad track? Maybe. I can't really decide. THEN we get to actually the most interesting track on this album, Apparent Uncertainty Among National Security Experts. You know how (if you watched Rika's 2 month long BoH video, you would know) Bull of Heaven 118 has that really cool glitchy segment in the middle of it that actually resembles something rather than looped drones? This is this album's version of that, and it was actually quite amazing. I would recommend that track to someone who can't get through this album, or even a single track of it. It was a crazy good track, even through most of these drones which I would consider "good". Interestingly enough, I thought this album was going to be horrible and I would have to force myself through it, but listening to the RINGEX discography has made me realize something quite special about it. After years of exposure to Merzbow, id m theft able, Caroliner, Burqa Boyz, :Zoviet*France:, and many, many more, it's refreshing to actually have to change my mindset about experimental music and approach it differently and with effort. This act is one of first in many years that has made me question what music is and changed my viewpoints on it, like experimental music is supposed to do. Listening to most music, I listen to it for the same reason a normal person listens to pop, for my own personal enjoyment, cause I like it, and a lot of the time cause it's catchy. Listening to RINGEX I feel like someone who just discovered what Pulse Demon or Everywhere At The End Of Time is. It's not often I get to experience that, and I truly have to thank Rika for that, if nothing else. So in between this song and the next, RINGEX released 22, the North american Nightmare Center, which had a description that had to make me double take. Cause this RINGEX discography review has been up for about a week before that album came out, and the description is a parody of a review. So I had thought Rika had clearly seen my or wenton's review(s), and we were talking about it on the EMCD discord when hev randomly emailed them saying it was obvious they saw they saw the reviews, and bam Rika joined the server randomly. Apparently, it was just a crazy coincidentally timed parody of a Rate Your Music review. But because of that, we basically had a massive interview with Rika where a lot of listening details (most of which I had correctly assumed) were revealed, such as rofl on 10.1 actually being inspired by christtt's no end, 10.1 and 5.1 being some of Rika's favorites, and 16.1 not being intended to actually be listened to by anyone. So... I guess here I am. Well, I only have a little over 3 hours left so, I guess I have to finish. Track 17 I started yesterday and finished today (December 1st still) and my thoughts on that are basically the same thoughts I had on track 15. I'm 50 minutes into track 18 and it's pretty good, It's a nice drone that progresses through a few things that seem to resemble chords (wow) with some other occasional noises that have been reverbed to death (in a good way) littered throughout. Seemed like an overextended Leyland Kirby track at points. There was also the added bonus (since that would've gotten boring a bit quickly) of raindrop sounds throughout. Fun! Those were extremely high quality compared to the weird drone that unintentionally clipped quite a few times. Overall, good track (I think, I've still got 15 minutes left, but I think I've got the jist of it). A lot of these moments Rika revealed were actually created by accident since there was something on their computer that weirdly corrupted these long flac files when exporting and distorted the audio a bit. track 5, which I had compared to 4.1 earlier, was actually accidentally made by that corruption. It was originally a generic Bull-of-Heaven styled loop of really pitched-down voices, but through weird exporting corruption, turned out like that. That's probably also why it was so interesting throughout. Alright, it's December 2nd and I've finished track 19. It's basically this weird slightly-beaty slowed down thing that's maybe a beat or a voice or something? It's impossible to tell, it's just extremely slowed. It was slightly interesting for a while until it got boring. And now I'm two minutes through track 20 and I'm starting to realize why the last three are the exact same lengths... They might all be the same exact song. This final stretch is going to be terrible. Okay now that it's finished, (still December 2nd), I can safely say it wasn't actually *terrible* perse, rather a little fatiguing. But I was able to be quite patient with it, it didn't lose my interest *that* easily especially since I was doing homework along to it. But wow, a 16 and a half hour album, never thought I would do that. Speaking of, I need to pick up the Merzbox again, I only got 10 discs through before I got distracted with RINGEX PLASTER. So all 3 of the last tracks are extremely similar, but not exactly the same, since on each of them (the last one especially) I noticed some differences, and it's probably safe to assume the whole tracks where different and "beats" were likely placed in different sequences (I'm going to roll with the assumption that each of these were some sort of slowed down beat). But man, that was quite an experience. I can't really call it good or bad, it seems to transcend music and one-dimensional good-bad judgement systems altogether. I'm going to go ahead and assume it was a net positive experience, I suppose I did quite like a massive chunk of it. Some of it was a little fatiguing, but a surprising amount of it wasn't, 7.1 is still absolute Hell, and this is somehow something that managed to be good? I suppose so. Rika revealed to me that they're currently listening to a 6 month long Bull of Heaven piece... yea I'm not gonna do anything close to that, I think this will be one of the biggest listening projects I ever do. Coming up next is Merzbox and The World's Longest Noise Compilation (currently untitled and not out yet, that's a little something I'm helping organize along with syndaflod). Still gotta finish RINGEX PLASTER (and I heard that there's 100 of these planned to be made,so I've got a nice 4 years ahead of me). So overall thoughts on this? Pretty good except for the parts that weren't, so maybe that's all of it, but also all of it's good and I would listen to it again except I would never put myself through this again and this is the most conflicted I've ever been on an album and actually it's good and my rating is very concrete. I liked it or maybe I didn't, but I think I liked it. Anyways, I should be getting to sleep now. What an absolute experience, I recommend it to everyone and no one. Good night. Plantcore tomorrow or whatever, Jesus it's gonna be trippy going back to "normal" RINGEX after a week of this. Listening to 1.1 feels like forever ago but I'm pretty sure I started that early November. Jesus that month lasted forever. Counting on RINGEX to absolutely transcend time, oddly enough they make my homework go faster but time overall seem slower. That's been a really fun aspect of this month. I suppose I'm rambling now, Plantcore tomorrow. That's it. Seeya.

SO. Before we get into this (and while I listen to the closing couple minutes of this album), couple things to clarify about 16.1 that Rika cleared up after reading my review. No paulstretch was used at all as most of Bull of Heaven's discography was made before that was a widely-known thing, and the last 3 tracks were apparently the exact same audio file. Don't know how I pulled that one, I swear I heard differences. But whatever. Weird. Alright, time for 17.1 review now that it's done. So right off the bat, the one aspect I didn't like about 5.1 was the shitty story about Onision that randomly got forced in and didn't really sound good, but ignoring that, it was a really good album. Somehow on this one, the shitty Onision story was done so much better. First off, it wasn't randomly thrown in, it was actually the whole album this time, second off, the samples were actually used so much better and there were some real funny moments on it, I quite liked it. That being said, I might rank it lower than 5.1 just because *musically* I wouldn't really want to listen to this album as much as I would that one. It's great story-wise but I'm not that interested in it to begin with. It's good. It's even pretty good. But totally, it's just not *as* good, although great job on the story aspect, especially on track 3 and 4. Track 2 and 5 were the only real RINGEX-style plunderphonics messes here, and those, while still good, didn't have the amazing moments I've been judging most of these albums (or at least the *really* good ones) on.

So first off, these tracks wouldn't scrobble in last.fm cause of the weird unicode characters (got it working by openscrobbler-ing it and deleting the tab characters). And I had to listen to this one in spurts. Not as much to talk about here as there was for 16.1 oddly enough. At the time of writing this, it is December 8th, and I'm 30 minutes away from finishing track 3. Really this whole thing is pretty similar to 16.1, except sections drag on for way longer, but there's also way more variation, not really any loops. In most of these tracks being over 2 and a half hours long each, they are noticably low quality for bandcamp, noticably compressed. When some part of the audio spikes, the rest of it flickers in audio level. This whole thing moreof seems like some big recorded thing that was just slowed down (well, each track seems like that). The individual sections themselves are quite interesting, but there's not really much I can say about them, because after a while of them being interesting, it gets boring again. I've also done a lot more of listening to other things in the background of this. Through most of track 2, I was watching Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse (and with that, I want to say track 2 was the most boring so far, but I didn't really pay attention to most of it, and track 3 has taken 3 days to complete so...). Each of the tracks also sound extremely similar. They go as follows: *Really* interesting drone/noise that eventually gets boring because it lasts too long, but it changes into another *really* interesting one after a while. The other thing is that because a lot of this is so low quality (I'm assuming because of bandcamp file size limits) a lot of the sounds are compressed and it doesn't *really* sound that faithful to Nanocyborg Uberholocaust. But it's fitting because the cover art is a Nanocyborg Uberholocaust cover, but ultra-compressed. So I guess it kind of does it right??? Interesting... Also through a couple of the tracks, there's random static for like half a second, and it only appears once or twice, I don't totally know what that's about. I should listen to a full Nanocyborg Uberholocaust album at some point. I'm on track 4 now, 10 minutes in, and it's happened twice actually so. Ok so 4 actually seems to be the most interesting one here so far (only 17 minutes through) and there are a *lot* of those static things I mentioned, interestingly enough.. Almost like they blended the slowed down thing from earlier with raw data. Also there's a weird looping thing that seems to progressively get slower, and it's not the same any time, and it's really weird, and I quite like it a lot. Each of the tracks also seem to be segmented quite a bit, having one part the goes for seemingly forever seamlessly transition into the next. This is also masterred really badly, just encountered some *major* clipping in the middle of the 4th track. Also at an hour and 6 minutes in, it seems that I reached the third segment and there are some *really* interesting noises here, but part of it seems like an extention of the second segment if you know what I mean? Also one thing I forgot to mention, on the first track, there was this part, specifically the last segment (I'm pretty sure) that came out of a long period of boringness and really hit me like a bullet, a slowed-down melody out of nowhere that was quite good. So so far there's a lot of good on this album, and a lot of things that drag on forever and become fatiguing. I mean, this album probably wasn't really meant to be listened to either, except Nanocyborg Uberholocaust isn't nearly as conceptual and/or anti-music as Bull-of-Heaven and actually makes things they want to listen to/I think they *did* listen to in full (nothing of theirs is astonishingly long like Bull of Heaven's, I think the longest is also about 13 hours, and each of their releases were made really far apart). I think overall, this one's just the hardest to actually describe, and the hardest to tell whether I like or not. I think I do... Question is: Would I rather listen to this whole thing again or 16.1? Idk, maybe I should ask myself that when I've actually finished the whole damn thing. The thing about this is despite the each extremely interesting segments that become less interesting as they go on, everything here more-or-less sounds the same, while on 16.1, everything segment sounds different (not counting the last 3) and is therefore a *bit* more fun to parse out in hour-long blocks, whereas I can't really listen to a full one of these tracks in one sitting. Like, I don't think I'm going to finish track 4 tonight (Still December 8th, it's 9:31 on a school night, I'm only an hour and 13 minutes in). I think this review isn't going to be *as* in-depth as 16.1 just because I've said about all I can say about RINGEX PLASTER as a project, now all I need to do is review the albums. And we're using the term "review" lightly here, because I've kinda been using this as a mini-diary/blog that spans RINGEX's whole discography and simply catalogues my thoughts/actions as I listen to them (for example talking about cleaning the music library on 10.1) and that really feels like the best approach to this project. It's better to approach it a bit more as a journal rather than something real I think. How that applies to the music itself on a critical standpoint? I don't know if it does, this "music" is so wrapped in irony I'm to the point where it's beyond criticism and the word "review" has essentially become meaningless. I know I at least like listening to this and I don't like listening to 12 and 7. The "Eh" section is moreof a grey area, I still don't know entirely what I think about them. Woo! Reached the next segment at 80 minutes in (I think, I don't know this whole thing is starting to blur together and sound less segmented overall) and there's some really nice slow melodic drones over the noises we've been hearing for a while. WOAHHH at 1:32:something a new segment *actually* started out of nowhere. It has this kinda euphoric feel like, all this effort was maybe worth it just for this moment, just for this surprise, sorta like the slowed down melody in track 1, but better, and all the previous noises of the track are converging to just be part of the melody and it's beautiful and I love it and GOD DAMNIT THIS CLIPPING IS RUINING IT... Okay so that segment was pretty fun, I went to sleep in the middle of it, it's now December 9th and I'm finishing the track. Right at around 1 hour 47-48 minutes it *instantly* changes segments, like so instant that it's jarring. And it's back to a lot of the same stuff as earlier in the track but it's still quite entertaining. This is like crazy maybe-ambient music, I quite like this song especially. Things are starting to change again (well I mean, this whole thing is extremely progressive) and it's staring to sound like a slowed-down beat with the weird static that tends to spike through (actually now that I'm thinking about it, that weird static might originate from Rika's problems when exporting long FLAC files). It ended kinda boringly with a really long, drawn out, slowed down/fade out. Still interesting, but kinda got less as it went on, as per usual with this album (again, finished this track December 9th). Today's December 11th and I have 30 minutes left of track 6. Yesterday I started and finished 5 (it got extremely boring, it felt like more of the same without any really cool moments, but after a while it got less-boring kind of. It didn't have anything *totally* interesting with it). Track 6 is also contender for best track on the album (maybe even better than 4... It has a lot of the same qualities as 4 (minus a melody section, but with some *really* cool drones mixed in) and with a lot more segments. There are *many* times this track fades out to silence and fades back in to nothing. There's even a point where it fades to silence and the track explodes back in suddenly and it's amazing. This track is really good but around an hour and a half to 2 hours it starts to get a little boring. At this point (2 hours 15 minutes) it's a low rumble with some cool, but sparse noises in the background. I should definitely listen to some Nanocyborg at some point soon though. Although the ones I did listen to were not really like this album at all, I don't totally know how this is supposed to be a Nanocyborg tribute, it doesn't really feel effective especially with the really harsh static clipping in everywhere (which is cool and all), but I guess I'll have to ask Rika or something. Also I don't remember them being this percussive. A *lot* of this sounds like slowed-down beats. Wow that ended abruptly. Time for some closing remarks I suppose. So that was a crazy weird experience, similar to 16.1 in the way that some of it was very interesting and some of it was extremely boring, but the interesting sections were far more interesting on this one. Mostly because they weren't drones and they actually had depth to them. And every track was extremely progressive, but also sometimes felt like it was the same slog for an entire 100 minutes (with some good juicy bits in between obv). Picks for least interesting tracks go to 5 and 2. Most interesting are 6 and 4. Would I do this again? Possibly... Not for a long time though. It would have to be some sort of circumstance but I don't know what. I think I got a net positive out of this, but it's kind of hard to tell. I'll put it in the rankings where it is for now, because the moments were *really* good and the bad parts, while exceedingly boring, weren't exceedingly *bad* perse, whereas on Banland and do you remember funnywave?q each of the bad moments were exceedingly bad, but with also some great, amazing moments too. This was a mixed bag, but also kind of a neutral point. It did not sound like RINGEX PLASTER at all. I liked it. I think. I am definitely more likely to listen to it again than say, Banland (that might actually go for 16.1 as well, but I'll keep that where it is for now). That's it I think. I'll start and probably finish 19 today (December 11th) too since it's only 4PM.

2. Face This Author - 48:23
It's (for the most part) unedited low quality clips of flash games. This clearly suffers from rush-to-get-6-albums-made-before-the-election-syndrome. One redeemable quality is the voice samples in Face This Author. But that's brief and doesn't really make up for anything other than it was fun in the moment but it only lasted a few seconds. Overall, Face This Author is only slightly more edited. And not really in a good way, besides the one voice clip. This album is 100% filler and on the level of a .2. I don't understand why it had to come out. In essence, this is basically what I was afraid Mobile Songs was going to be, except I was pleasantly surprised on that one. Also the ending of Face This Author is slightly entertaining. /p.

First 15 tracks sound like a cross between mangling Windows default sounds in raw data and then taking them into audacity and totally fucking them up. Really the best noise album you could ever get out of Windows sounds, and I'm not exaggerating, that bit was fun as hell. The last track starts as a bit more of that but turns into that noise over a backbeat and it somehow sounds *really* amazing, like wow I liked that. After like ten minutes of that tho it turns into this extremely wack entirely noise track and it's just insanely good, keep it going keep it going (I don't know what I mean by this). Kinda reminds me of the second track off of Smidge Beats if ya know what I mean. Lol that segment at the very end made me knock it down under sbsbsbx (I had put it just above before).

This sounds like a bonus track on 18.1, one of the not as boring ones, but this one does still get quite a bit boring so. Also as a side note, probably gonna move 18.1 down a bit after finding out all of them were slowed down tracks from Kinrek's (Rika's old alias) The Following vol.1 slowed down... so I kinda feel like a fool. Also apparently nearly all of Nanocyborg's shit is just slowed-down other shit, so maybe I *am* just wrong about all of this.

But the problem is, once you're past those first two tracks, this album just doesn't really have anything to say. Sure, it might offer some very dense "sound collages", but these really only serve as mildly entertaining recaps of events any American citizen should already be familiar with. Or even non-American folks, in fact, as is highlighted in the track "The foreign familiar.", which is a somewhat Vaporwave-esque interlude highlighting the Japanese coverage of the 2020 election. But I digress. It's not often that any of these pieces really resemble anything "musical" either, with the exception of "The victorious.", so don't be holding your breath for that. Oh, and the incredibly long "drone" closer was...something else. Now, do I expect any of my critiques to get through to the artist? Of course not. "RINGEX PLASTER" is already set in its ways, and clearly doesn't take too kindly to criticism, as evidenced by the long-winded fictional review left in the album description. Guess what, jackass? Listing out everything I'd find wrong with your album before I can say it myself doesn't actually absolve you of criticism, and in fact, only gives me more to talk about. So there you go. Make of all that what you will. But for my money, there are better "political albums" out there. Preferably ones that actually have music in them. 6/10

Holy shit holy shit holy shit RINGEX is back. The day is March 5th, Friday before Spring Break. This came out on Tuesday (I think) as I was working on the WTC catalog review (still working on that btw). RINGEX has come back from their break and I'm ready for an explosion. I don't know at all what to expect from this. Its been a good while since I listened to RINGEX in the first place, my pallate is ENTIRELY cleansed. I've done SO much since we were last here in early December. I listened to Nanocyborg's Goodbye, Sol, it was fucking S tier, not all of Nanocyborg's shit is just slowed down other shit actually, that's just the first album. Although there are some elements of vapoorwave on Goodbye, Sol, but it's like 18 hours so whatever (oh, and that takes the cake for the longest album I've listened to as of now). Also I listened to the penultimate 7 and a half hour song on that album in ONE DAMN SITTING it was insane. One of my favorite listening memories. Anyways, let's get into this. I'll go ahead and hit the play button, enough precursor. Ooh, some Kinrek style drums n shit... this is starting out good, I like these noises. Kinda like a lofi Autechre. I forgot how good some of this shit was. Okay yeah, this first song is sounding a lot like that Kinrek material I loved and less like the overly-memey mid-period RINGEX. I mean, it HAS been a few months (which is like 7 years in RINGEX time). Have to pause this, but god DAMN this is an insanely good start. Oh shit, this is actually sounding a LOT like Autechre. Like what the fuck, this is insanely good, ESPECIALLY by RINGEX PLASTER standards. I think this might easily make number one, and I'm only on the first track. It sounds exactly like a fucking NTS Session, like if it were on the NTS Sessions, this track would make the top half of the cut easily. Also fuck, this song just got kinda weird... some crazy anime noises and jazz and piano, and this is sounding more like RINGEX PLASTER but STILL crazy fucking good. First track finished, possibly the best RINGEX track ever. This second track is insanely weird. Autechre style noise then it randomly starts sampling this "Every time we touch" song and it weirdly works well? Alright, second track is over and it was really just weird. Extremely drawn out, but felt like it had multiple movements too. Third track starts out with this crazy reverbed CD skipping sounding thing which is AWESOME. Then there's this weird drone. Ooh, and then a really weird skip of a noised iPhone ringtone, but you only realize it's that after a while. It fades into this bouncing ball type thing that gets crazy stuck in your head, it's insanely good too. Some insanely cool noises that develop and meander for a while, then, the quiet iphone ringtone again. AAAnnnddd here's where it starts to sound like orthodox PLASTER. Sounds like shit played into a mac microhpone. And I don't really know how I feel about this part lol. Now it's weirdly memey with the Over 9000 thing. Yeah, I don't like this part that much haha. I like the weird muffled piano behind it though. This I Be Flossin part is even worse though. Damn, a shame the second half of this song really sucks, the first half was insanely good! 4th track is extremely hypnotic. A lot of loops that develop into other loops, pretty interesting overall though. Okay but yeah this 4th track is actually also kinda insanely good. See here's the thing: I don't understand their decision to make the entire second half of track 3 terrible when the rest of this is SO good! 4th track is now over. I'll get to the 5th on Saturday or Sunday, I'm pretty busy Saturday so... we'll see. Alright 5th song started on Saturday morning before I start my business. FUCK, BREAKBEATS??!?!? Yuss this is cool. I like this. Reminds me a bit of KK Null, sounds like CDR tho. And this one's being looped and fucked with in awesome ways haha. Ack, I'm so conflicted on this one because if it WEREN'T for the second half of the third track, this would easily be RINGEX's best. But the second half of the third track DOES exst so... what do I do with that? Is this still their best work? Or does it go under Homophonics? If we're being honest here, Homophonics might still make a more enjoyable listen JUST for the second half of this one's track 3. I mean, I know I keep harping about that but GOD DAMN THAT WAS TERRIBLE. Oh shit, and like 16 minutes in, this melody kicks in that fits insanely well. Then the breaks go away at some point, and you're just left with these weird glitched vocals. Some crazy awesome things happen throughout the duration of the track. And of course, it ends with Geometry Dash sounds. So, now it's over. What do I actually think of this album? As per tradition with RINGEX PLASTER, I have no fucking clue. Maybe it's their best?? Eh, screw it, I'm putting it at the top for now, despite any horrific track 3, the rest of them are some of the best they've ever done. Fuck music, seeya.
1. munch! "it is very freezing,""ahhhh... change the channel. chhhhhhhh,"hi everybody! I'm cookie monster!" " I'm cookie crud! change the channel," " shadow clone jutsu!" "now this is a good show!" - 45:08
2. let the clock crack, let the soil tear, nails split and shear uncountlessly by these digits, read the script on the scorched lands, they are writ of future, never blame your lack. even the layer on the stones repeats these phrases - 58:06
3. good afternoon if u have the driver installation dvd. it sure will work ok. but if you already installed a driver through windows update it will not be ok. do a clean installation of the system and not connect to the internet ok. it doesn't matter that the drivers are from 1990 ok. it will work ok. - 37:48
4. something to do with a tunnel of light - 'twould be disconcerting to not listen as this vaguely annoying voice loop is taken over completely for the rest by the background drone of windbells or is it detuned guitars in a loop no i think it is chimes with a rumbling drone backdrop there too. - 51:19
5. how are you doing? I hope everything is okay. It’s A Huge Pleasure Coming across you here. I’d love to stay in touch with you here.....I'm born to love ❤️ I am just into humanity to build a good friendship, learn from each other and get to know more. i am just a young boy, i mean no harm - 55:04
RINGEX IS BACK - It's been like 4 months now. This is insane!!! Preposterous!! I've come back and put 23.1 in second place rather than first place. From what I heard, this is the sequel to 23.1 but it's "3 times better" I suppose we will see. I turn it on and we get these really crazy but unstructured Autechre and Nanocyborg Uberholocaust sounds going on (speaking of, just yesterday I started the Nanocyborg Uberholocaust listening project). These sounds are starting to get more structured. RINGEX is basically Autechre at this point it's insane. Also, RINGEX changed their Bandcamp profile pic again, this time it's crazy distorted and there's tentacles and shit. Waoh. Oh and a few minutes into this, this really nice piano comes in, and the beats finally align into some sort of structure. This doesn't sound like Autechre anymore. It sounds like some sort of vaporwave mixed with a weird keyboard demo beat. But it's also really really cool. Not like AMAZING amazing, but somewhat amazing if you know what I mean. Then the piano totally changes pitch a few times. This is super cool, like some tripped out lofi video. This sounds like nothing I've ever heard from RINGEX. Some plunder sounds come in later and everything just fucking works perfectly. The track is really just this big trip-out of sounds skittering past each other but nothing gets in anything's way, it's like watching one of those Japanese walking competitions. Around 15 minutes in, this weird hip hop sample comes in that actually DOES get in the way and it's like some big change in the song is about to happen. And then it doesn't happen. It's weird cause it feels like a big mix of everything RINGEX has ever done, and also doesn't sound at all like RINGEX PLASTER. Like, the looping piano can be compared to that one looping melody on the Bull of Heaven tribute album, that hip hop sample can be compared to the arabic release, the drums can obviously be compared to 23, but their vaporwave-like sound can also be compared to Homophonics. Every other sample just skittering past each other is just like everything else. All it's missing is the shit memes (but to be honest, I'm fine with that). At some point the beat changes and it becomes a lot more hip-hop-y. I don't really care as much about this part to be honest. Like it's cool and all, but nothing really hits, ya know? Also holy shit Imagine Dragons gets vaporwaved for a few seconds. Yeah when that part kicks in, that's when this song REALLY starts to hit. And at 31 minutes, the beat becomes REALLY cool, and then it SUPER slows down. Oh and the rest of this just totally trips out into like Autechre x Jan St. Werner x Fenn O'Berg style noise-ambient. Yep, that track was pretty cool, onto track 2. This second song's pretty cool, some real crazy beats and whatnot that get these awesome noises over them. The other thing about this song is it REALLY requires some attentive listening to appreciate all the detail in here. Alright, I was listening to this last night when my computer just decided to crash in the middle of the song, so I guess I'll restart it. Also fun tidbit of info, found out that 3.1's title is a Bull of Heaven reference. Listening to this again this time when I'm not super tired, it's banging as fuck. This track is basically Qebrus. These samples in the background start getting REALLY really cool too, especially when they're all compressed and sound like Audacity Noise Reduction, love that watery sound so much. Yeah, this track is basically perfect, I love it so much. Around 34 minutes in, the beats totally change, but they still jam so hard while the background samples elevate it so greatly. There's a section where everything stops for like half a second, and then REAL shit hits and it's awesome. At about 40 minutes, the beat totally slows down, but it's like nothing collapses and it all happens naturally. At around 47 minutes in, we start getting BREAKS. Yeah!! Then everything kinda fades out and we're left with this weird field recording of some song or something. I'm not totally sure what it is, but it has a really nice sound to it. Then the sample gets some crazy noises on top of it (it could use a limiter since it clips a bit). And that's the end of track 2! Track 3 starts out with these weird synth wobbles (well I guess they're not inherently weird, you hear them a lot in lofi hip-hop songs, but it's weird here cause they're all layered and panned and switch pitches and stuff). This is my favorite sound I've heard here so far. And THEN the song transitions into these super crazy beats (kinda sound like Breakcore???). Fade out.. Back to the wobble synth. Really really nice sound. Then this hip-hop sounding beat comes in and it's kinda cool. What's REALLY cool is when the beat starts to sound all compressed and the pitches of the synths start going crazy. And these crazy sample recordings come in and their sound is AWESOME. Then abrupt stop! Random sample flashcore!!!! Now THIS is one of my favorite sounds here (sounds like Oval actually). And I THINK this is Imagine Dragon's Radioactive, but crazy chopped and skipping around. This is officially my favorite RINGEX PLASTER track, sounds like someone knew of my love for CD skipping. And now it's Demons (Jesus, it's scary how much I'm able to recognize Imagine Dragons songs based on like a 0.25 second sample). And now it's just like every sound from earlier skipping around a bunch, this is amazing. Tempo also changes a lot. And then there's some samples that layer over the skipping which create this amazing sensory-overload effect seen time and time again in id m theft able and Qebrus' music. Oh and then some AWESOME noises come in, like 8-bit bitcrushed wild oscillators and shit, now it's especially starting to sound like id m theft able, when suddenly TERROR KICKS. After a while of some equally cool, ever-evolving sounds, abrupt reverb. Some stops and cuts. Back into the groove, then things fade out with some crazy souped-up oscillator just going absolutely fucking bananas. For a while, it's a total noise track centered around that, and this is one of the best things I've ever heard. Then a MASSIVE slowdown, and end. Fucking brilliant track, the best thing I've ever heard from PLASTER. Next day, track 4 baby!. Starts out real minimal with some low drones, looks like things might get intense soon... (kinda reminds me of the first track on NTS Sessions). Then some other notes come skipping in, and then you got this decent beat over crazy noisy piano. Probably my least favorite track so far (but I'm only like 15 minutes through, so who's to say?). These beats get super crazy though! Also this piano sounds like some moments on Everywhere At The End of Time Stage 3 (actually, I'm thinking of the 3rd track on stage 4, but the original sample was [mostly] on stage 3). About 23 minutes in, the beats finally start to get REALLY cool. THis whole track reminds me of The Trees off Autechre's Untilted (my favorite album of theirs, but probably my least favorite track on the album). About 25 minutes in, the beats sound a lot like it. The last section of this track is a while of full on noise, it's pretty cool. Slowly becomes less and less chaotic. Again, cool track but nothing REALLY resonates with me, ya know? Aand onto track 5. Well, now it feels like I'm about to repeat a lot of what I said before. Things start out less chaotic and skipping around, and I really like the samples underneath it all. Then this weird field recording sample that I don't actually like the sound of very much... then whoever's in the field recording starts singing We Are Number One. Which is the FIRST time on this album we hear shitty memes in this RINGEX PLASTER album! Also like the first actually bad thing in this album (a surprise) and it isn't that bad, because everything else in the track (especially the skipping track(s)) behind it is really cool and sorta makes up for it. I especially like whatever's sampled and skipped around (sounds like a country song, but it's quiet so I'm not too confident on that). These beats are also awesome. Then this slowed piano kicks in which is super cool (really just repeating information here). I think this is the best track that just goes for the chillout effect (at least early on it does). Some chaos starts building, and then suddenly jumps in this thing that sounds like skipped-around trance synths (like Geometry Dash / Newgrounds type haha). This section is awesome, reminds me of Oval's recent work, but better (tbh I'm not the biggest fan of Oval's recent work). OOOHHH and Bruno Mars' That's What I Like starts getting SO CRAZY GLITCHED OUT AND IT SOUNDS SO COOLLLLL. This is my favorite segment. This is now my other favorite track, such a fun ending. Yeah remember that part that I said was bad earlier? That was such a SMALL part that this still gets number one status (and will likely remain there through the next few albums that RINGEX does [but judging by this that might be quite a few months]). Haha, glitched Reese's Puffs theme. (WTC flashbacks). AND Gangam Style. So THIS is the meme track we've all been waiting for. Interesting.... It's somehow great, it's somehow still my other favorite track. Then Undertale remix haha. Then it suddenly transitions to this much deeper a bit more bitcrushed part, it's kinda jarring. I mean, this whole thing is pretty jarring, this is quite similar to id m theft able, this is the least structured track out of all of them, it's full-on noise the whole time. Pretty much no beats at all (except for real janky 2-second ones, but I'm not sure if that totally counts). Yeah this track is just really awesome. Really just kinda rounds out the thing as a whole. Around 37 minutes the samples kinda cut it out and it's full blown noise shit for a bit (which is of course awesome). Like it's insane that I've never seen RINGEX at this level (well, aside from Kinrek, but I didn't listen to much under that name). Part of me still hopes for a return to form with a few of these really technical albums in between, cause while these were great, it's gonna get a bit boring if they're ALL like this. Remember, the beauty of RINGEX PLASTER is the constant, unrelenting surprise factor. You NEVER know what you're gonna get and I don't want that to stop. Sure the music is great (fucking fantastic), but I wanna see where this goes. This whole thing's a roller coaster, right? Holy shit the noises at the 43 minute mark are orgasmic. These memey samples at the end feel somewhat... genuine with these noises that come in behind them. Like it somehow achieves the effect that these aren't memes for the sake of being memes anymore... but they're there to add somewhat of a personal, or cynical (assuming "SQUIRTING CONTEST!!!" is used in a satirical way) touch to the track which I really appreciate. No other usage of memes in RINGEX PLASTER has done that before. Also really interesting, the noises collapse in on themselves and turn into a MIDI keyboard by the 50 minute mark and then it's just THEM. And it's so cool how the track collapsed just to do that, something that fully breaks the track and feels so jarring, gets the same effect out of me as the breakdown in Squarepusher's Greenways Trajectory (my favorite song of all time). AND THEN THE SYNTHS COLLAPSE IN ON THEMSELVES!!! And silence followed by a single small beep, followed by a lot more silence. Two more beeps, then a just slowed down sample now (Ooh, I actually recognize this sample, this is the guy on YouTube that only made videos to send to other people). Let me add, I LOVE when songs have it where the instruments just collapse into each other and the track completely fucking breaks (that's why Greenways Trajectory is my favorite song of all time) and this DOES that (let's go). Silence. And scene. Gorgeous.
Quick sidenote: I'm feeling real tempted to listen to all the .2s now... I know, I know, I said earlier it would be complete torture... but it feels necessary somehow... Like Roxy listened to ALL of Bull of Heaven, least I could do is get through the often short (but sometimes EXTREMELY long) .2 series. The one problem I have with that is I have no clue how I'm gonna format it. Like I can't really put the albums in chronological order anymore cause then the reviews won't be in chronological order... And I DO want to mix in the .2 reviews with the .1 reviews, so like I'm ranking EVERYTHING. I mean, I could easily just insert them after here. Yeah, I guess that'll do. I might do that at some point, we'll have to see. Right now though, I gotta do a Nanocyborg Uberholocaust listening project. And then a Kevin Drumm one (but that's really just a priority during schoolwork).

Yeah yeah, fuck it I'm doing the .2s now, eat shit past-version-of-myself. This is gonna be terrible haha. Actually probably not, this whole listening project was one of the funnest things I ever decided to do. I just typed out (copy-pasted the longer ones) all these tracks and I'll get to listening to this when I'm done with this Nanocyborg Uberholocaust listening project. It is Sunday, July 25th, 2021. Yeah, this is RINGEX's mashcore track and it's actually really really well done. The idea here is you download the thing, put it on shuffle, and it creates sort of a generative track for you. It's really really cool, and very breakcore. This is an easy favorite for any first-time RINGEX listener. I want more like this!!! Also really funny titles. My iTunes isn't very good at the whole gapless playback thing :(

The first 9 tracks are all really one track that was just split up. This really seems like a
random average glitch IDM thing, very similar to Aphex Twin's Funny Little Man (which is one of my least
favorite Aphex Twin songs). The weird chopped voice in the back is kinda cool, everything is kinda cool, but
nothing much special about it. It seems as if the track titles are a rather interesting series of messages
between two Roblox noobs... quite interesting if I do say so myself. What will these Roblox noobs do, they've
ended their own lives!! Also it seems like each of these 9 tracks are largely the same and no actual track
progression happens over the course of any of them except for the VERY end. Second (tenth) track is
interesting as it sounds a lot like an average RINGEX track, but it's pretty cool at that too. Feels like an
extra part of an album, pretty decent. I like the ambient noises around 3 minutes. Yeah actually this is a
really cool track. Also randomly this abbruptly switches to some slowed-down half-a-million views
celebration, which is hilarious. Such a surprise (THIS IS WHY I DO THIS). Then a full-on Roblox mobile
advertisement. Then some sample of another track, then another abrupt cut into a video. So basically, the
first half of the track is really really interesting, and the second half is abrupt cuts every minute or so
to another video. Last 40 seconds is the shit memes. Decent. [UPDATE AS OF OCTOBER 21st, 2021: So last night
I noticed that this one's album art ALSO changed. It basically just got rid of the username in the corner and
the Roblox profile link though. Although it should be noted that you can still see their Roblox user name ON the
Roblox character, so I guess they overlooked that even though they were trying to distance themselves from
that part of their life.] [UPDATE AS OF NOVEMBER 26th, 2021: I think they read this and fixed it lol] [UPDATE
AS OF FEBRUARY 20th, 2022: It changed again, idek what about it's different though.]

Well, at almost 10 hours, this is one of the big road blocks I was afraid of encountering when getting through the .2 EPs. Anyways, we're doing it. First track started, sounds pretty cool. These are improvisations with ghosmint so this'll probably sound quite a bit different than the other .2s. Right now, this is sounding a lot like KK Null actually. But yeah this time around things are super noisy and wack! Sounds like an early .1 actually (yeah back then the .2s were a bit less "low effort" than they became). A lot of sounds cut completely out then we get some new sounds. It's interesting hearing ghosmint on this cause ghosmint does exclusively Audacity music, but from what I've heard, it's pretty good. RINGEX also has a collaboration album with ghosmint that I probably need to get through later on this project in order for it to really be "complete" (I'll do that compilation they were on too and the one fest set that's on Soundcloud, so EVERY second of "RINGEX PLASTER" by the end of this). So far this thing sounds about exactly like I expected it to: Live In My House, 2019, but better. Which of course isn't a bad thing, what I expected this to be was decent, and so far (only 11 minutes in) it's actually pretty entertaining. The thing about this is it's gonna be different than normal RINGEX PLASTER just cause everything is improvised and there's not enough time to really jam in weird memes. A lot more crazy noise than that, so cool. I like these weird sine wave melodies at 12 minutes in, that's super cool. This is actually insane, so much better than I thought a .2 would be. The sounds at 42 minutes in are crazy! Yeah, this track is super duper cool, amazing noise, better than most Merzbow. Lol Pillow Pets ad in the middle of nowhere, of course I almost forgot this was RINGEX PLASTER. This thing sounds a lot closer to KINREK than most of RINGEX PLASTER ever got. Alright, day 2 and we're on track 2 out of 10. Starts with a phone recording that sounds EXACTLY like my guitar drone experiments. Then at random intervals there are some crazy noises that come on top of them which I quite enjoy. This second one starts to sound quite a bit like id m theft able actually, like damn I was missing out on this one, this might actually be really high up there. My ears quite like this rumble of noises. For a while this turns into ultra ultra compressed noises with random things in the background. Cool, but not nearly as good as earlier. Reminds me a lot of moments on 1.1. Then it just does that until it fades out. Then random weird spikes at the end. Third track starts out super interestingly with a weird field recording with some sort of harp-ish melody that I quite like. This part is really cool! Almost heavenly, this isn't really a sound I've heard from RINGEX before (well that might be ghosmint, but whatever). Actually when they whisper into the mic and start tapping on random shit, that REALLY sounds like id m theft able. Starting to sound like Black MIDI in the background too. These MIDI sounds actually sound pretty familiar... Could they be from the very same Online MIDI Sequencer website I used back in like 2016 for music before I started the MTS AIRMASS name? I think that's actually it. This is pretty nostalgic then... There's some primative MTS AIRMASS tracks on there, one or two of them became tracks on Orange Fever. This track's actually pretty low effort but because of this it's really really cool and I'm just endlessly interested in it (yeah, these sounds are 100% the same website). At around 16 minutes some other voice samples come in and THEN we finally get some noises that don't sound like they were recorded off a phone. Then some external drums and other weird voice clips. The beats over at 20 minutes in are pretty tight. This sounds like a full-on Discord call now (I heard one of them mention "Rika" earlier so that's what I'm guessing it is). Ohhhh, they're talking about Roblox egg hunt - I only know this cause I've looked at Rika's channel before lol. Then English tips video!! Some loop of "Oh, I dropped the egg" which is kinda hilarious. I quite like this. This ends with an onslaught of really awesome noise. Then fart sound effects which I especially do not care for. Track 4 start - weird clicking noises. This is the first track that doesn't feature ghosmint. These might be edited Minecraft Slime sounds but I'm not totally sure. It's weird. Some really nice noises done to them too. Oooh nice, skipping music at 28 minutes! For a while this turns into some really nice lawnmower / Sheer Hellish Miasma type noises. I like the bass here. Also funny Can't Let Go MIDI. Nice buzzing for quite some time. From here until the end it's just a series of really interesting buzzes and noises. Yep that's it. Anyways, I haven't really been keeping good track of which day I'm listening to which tracks. I think today is day 3. Anyways starting track 5, I won't get very far through it right now, but I'll finish later tonight. Starts with a lot of bass and some interesting squelches. Nice kinda-melodies here. Actually didn't finish that night, here I am tomorrow (and just restarting it since I only got like 3 minutes in the first time). Some super interesting sine wave stuff here. This one is like entirely weird sine wave stuff for a while. Melodic version of Sachiko M's album. Eventually some percussive noises come in that lag quite a bit, those sound pretty cool. The waves start sounding a bit different, we get some static flashes, and then BAM, Kalimba!!! The sounds lag quite a bit, then silence for a while. They occasionally flash back in. It's like there's 2 separate noises that are flashing in at different times - A main noise, and some melodic sine waves. Then the sine waves start making an actually good melody rather than just hitting random notes, huzzah! And there's some really weird sawtooth (I think it is) wave going on in the background that gets insanely low (to the point of becoming metronome clicks), then pretty fast. Things fade out... FLASH OF RANDOM SINE WAVES!! Flashes of rhythmic static, more sine waves. Woah, edited text to speech sounds (at 32 minutes in, yeah this one progresses really slowly). Some actual percussion at 38 minutes. This creates a really trippy effect between this weird percussion, some clipping/clicking in the background, and the dissonant sine waves. Oh and Discord sounds in the background, seems this was definitely done over a call (probably hence the lag in the beginning). Beat gets faster, beat gets faster. Now we're starting to finally get some super interesting noises! - That percussion keeps going while random things layer in the background creating this super cool effect. At 51 minutes, the percussion starts changing HEAVILY, and we get some awesome IDM-style stuff going on. These synths in the back are also super cool. Now it's just like a percussion soup, super tasty. Nice weird MIDI noises at 54 minutes. Overall, the second half of this track just becomes really cool, never really loses interest through it (alright actually it does get a bit boring around 63 minutes, but by 65 minutes we start getting really really cool noises again). Anti-Dandruff shampoo ad with cool effects applied, then some other thing with that same cool effect (actually sounds a lot like Sheer Hellish Miasma). Oh it is the same ad, but some of it was crazy slowed for a bit. Somebody's playing Firework on the piano. Oh and then Objects I've Shoved Up My Arse with that effect - I forgot this just HAD to have the RINGEX PLASTER staple. Then some other thing that I don't recognize. This effect is pretty cool too. Some tapping and more effect. And then it just sorta ends like that, that's the song. Pretty cool, pretty cool, time for the next one, here we go. Also now we're halfway through, we have the longest and shortest songs still ahead of us. This is low quality field recording of something, I'm guessing the general workings of Rika's house/room/whatever (on further inspection, it's actually their computer cause you can hear the mouse clicks). Anyways, 30 minutes in and it's still exactly that with nothing else, I have a feeling it's gonna be like that the whole time. I had kinda hoped the longest track here would be a bit more interesting. If you listen really closely, there's definitely something going on on the computer, but it's so quiet and below the static that you can't make out what it is. Sounds like some sort of game. You can hear some nice noises in the background of the house. Alright, 50 minutes in and I'm extremely tired, I'll be back tomorrow (which will be Wednesday, August 4th [2021]). Jeez, RINGEX coughs a lot. Oh wait, it looks like someone has enterred the room, talking about taking pills or something, Rika seems to be in that "Mom, I'm trying to record something" mood, but it's interesting that that was left in. Hey, it's something a bit more interesting than the monotonous air static. I do find it funny that for one of the "improvisations" it's just an unedited field recording, and parts of this are a bit interesting to listen to, but that's about it. Also apparently ghosmint was a performer on that track? Which I really don't understand. Alright, next track starts and it's definitely more interesting than unedited field recording. Starts with a weird skipping dubstep track. At about 9 minutes, the skipping becomes a LOT more frantic. At 10 minutes it gets a lot LESS frantic, and then at 11 it changes to skipping of some other song. Yeah, this is pretty cool. This part where it slows down and reverses and stuff is actually really really cool, I quite like this. Then that stops, and you can actually really quietly hear some background noise that sounds like talking. Then another skipping track, then it gets SUPER slowed down (not to the point of Nanocyborg, but almost halfway there). Something else reversed for a bit, Ooh, then it gets sped up! Then some weird actually breakcore thing that has a bunch of weird skips/edits done to it (I really can't tell what this is, it just somewhat sounds like breakcore). Some weird noises and whatnot that sound pretty cool and yeah! I was a little spaced out during the last bit and didn't actually notice the track change. On a sidenote, I have until 3:00PM to grind through the rest of this album today and I'm just gonna try to do that. This track starts with some really crazy vocal manipulation. Anyways, this is the last track that's over an hour and we still have the shortest track (by a whole 11 minutes) on the way. Some really awesome buzzing noises actually and interesting percussive things, this track is one of the best so far. Then lol MIDI piano version of the asian jingle (you know the one). Yeah a lot of crazy skipping noises through this one, I mean I know I'm not saying anything really new, but this is pretty much a general drift. This sounds a lot like Oval, this one in particular is focused on super skipping, so of course I like it a lot. Faded into the background for a bit. I love CD skipping so much, this song is really perfect. I think there are multiple things skipping over each other here. Even though these voices are fucking stupid talking about "fresh balls" they actually work really well when crazy skipped like this over everything - I also really really like this one pop song they're skipping. and 34:30, the song changes and bam, now we're back in it. Ooh, now it's skipping Death Grips - Get Got. Then it sounds like 100 gecs but I haven't listened to nearly enough of their music to be at all confident about that. Anyways, it's now the fifth, turns out I only got through an hour of this track yesterday, still have like 9 minutes left. Then shitty voice sample at the end of that lol. Next track starts with a few flickers of static, then some trance synths oddly enough. These trance synths go on for a while and get progressively noisier, and more reverby. It makes sense that ghosmint wasn't on this one. Eventually it doesn't even sound like the trance synths anymore - Starts sounding like harsh static and some pulses occasionally, it's pretty cool. Around 40 minutes they actually get back to normal interestingly enough. This is pretty cool, especially when they're all layered and they start pitching down at different times. The end where it's just holding out and we get all these clicks and stuff is amazing. Alright, last song, shortest song, let's go. This one's especially interesting, it starts with air static then we get these super low synth drones which sound amazing (like a continuation of the previous tracks). Then one of them talks about a nightmare they had the previous day. So pretty much that on top of really cool, pretty varying drones. Around 27 minutes the drone starts skipping like crazy too (an effect we've heard a lot on this album). Also at that point, they're not even talking about the dream anymore, but the air static is still there. Then a couple minutes later, they start talking about a DIFFERENT one, but they don't talk for very long and when that's over, the drones start getting REALLY cool, like we get these super deep pulses that just change everything into this total sound bath. Then the drones start getting pretty flickery and staticy, while there's some field recording in the style of track 6 going on. It pulses one more time and that's it. Well, that was a decent way to spend the last 6 days. That was actually a really really cool listen. Ranking this one high.

Like its .1 counterpart, this is a harsh noise wall. Although I like this quite a bit better since it's a lot deeper and is just a generally cooler noise. Also that ended pretty abruptly, tbh I kinda wish it was longer I was really getting into that.

Oddly enough, this was the first RINGEX I ever heard. Back when Xerbie first told me about this guy, the only albums out had been up to number 6, and I was looking for some free to download ones that were somewhat long, so then I hit this one. And about 10 minutes passed before I realized this was all nightcore and Xerbie explained to me that the .2s were the lower effort ones. Anyways, back then my opinions on this one were pretty low, but at this point after listening to hundreds of hours of lolicore, this is actually somewhat decent. It's funny how fast the song changes from one thing to another, it's by no means breakcore, but it's a megamix that changes like every 10 second and EVERY song used here sounds exactly the same so it somehow flows entirely perfectly. Also the added bonus of the incredibly lo-fi compression added on top of it. So yeah, I guess contrary to my past thoughts, this thing is awesome. Also funny enough, I recognize some of these songs EXCLUSIVELY from their use in lolicore. A few of these are on CDR's album "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA". Oh randomly before the 35 minute mark there's just a non-anime sample, some kid that goes "This is what dying feels like". That was quite the surprise lol. Oh and now we're getting some extra sound effects in there. Lol Pokemon theme song. it seems like it's looping some stuff from earlier, but we're just about over so.

Each of the 47 second tracks are some sort of beeping (I'm assuming morse code) with a filter on top on top of some ultra-slowed speech. Really trippy. Last track starts with that again, then it turns into a SUPER pleasant drone. Woah, this is geniuinely one of the best drones I've ever heard. Sounds like it MIGHT be paulstretch but the more I listen to I think it's probably not. Idk, I'll just ask Roxy later. 14:50 it changes to a slowed down something in front of audience clap (I don't know what this is, but it waht unexpected). Something tells me that based off the titles, this is some sort of Jeopardy clip (actually I have to redact that cause the guy's talking about how Christ is savior, this is definitely Christian rock in the background). This part's pretty interesting too. Yeah so I've figured it out, this is slowed down preaching, but he's also talking about a song he wrote or something, but this part is really cool anyways. Then it just quickly fades out lol. Yeah, this was really really amazing and this just came out of nowhere, I did not expect this one to be anywhere close to as good as it is. (Turns out it wasn't paulstretch, but a stretch method in FL Studio).

So from the titles, I thought this was gonna be a collection of field recordings... and the first track is some really weird really choppy glitch stabs that sort of loop - it's pretty minimalist actually. This is weird. The second track is the same, but entirely different sounds instead. Okay, so this is gonna be a REALLY glitchy one. This is the most fucked thing I've heard from RINGEX. 5 is interesting cause the chop cuts sound like they're from drones instead of full on harsh noise. Woah, track 8 is the first one that actually sounds like something and it's super crazy. Weird looped choppy guitars with some of the effects we've heard before. Apparently ghosmint created that one (and track 2). Track 14-20 also actually sound like something oddly enough, MIDI synth jams. Anyways, I suppose the general gist of this release is some really fucking strange noises. Track 21 is another MIDI jam but with some massive delay effects on it. A lot of these start out super noisy then somehow transition into MIDI jam I've noticed too. Track 23 is our first "extra" long track here (I mean only 6 and a half minutes, but still out of 111 tracks that's quite a bit). This one's a drone with some pulses that speed up and slow down accordingly, it's pretty nice. Track 24 is basically that but higher pitched. Track 25 is basically that but lower pitched than 25 (I don't remember if this is the same pitch as 23). Track 26 is a little more interesting cause it seems to be the same thing but way higher pitched so the pulses are way faster. 28 is the highest pitched one so far. Oh, so I read the description and theres 11 sets of 11 tracks, IE every 11 tracks is a unique section of tracks that each follow their own style - So the first 11 were really choppy, really loud glitch stuff, the second 11 were MIDI jams, the 3rd 11 is this weird pulsing drone series (my least favorite out of the 3), so I guess I can review this easier by reviewing each 11 sets. Also, EVERY track has a track picture, so that's cool (OHHH, that's what the title of the album means, this is a VACATION from 2013, it's funny how each picture with people in it has them censored out). 31's interesting cause on this one the pulses actually form a sort of rhythm. Ooh, the next set of 11 tracks actually ARE field recordings, wahoo. 37 is significantly louder than the previous ones. So is 42. A lot of these were recorded somewhere with music in the background which is actually pretty entertaining. 39's funny, why was that only 2 seconds and why was it SO high pitched? 44 has some weird reversed speech. The next 11 tracks seem to just be shitty acoustic guitar jams. Ya know, the concept of this album's pretty interesting, but no series of tracks have actually been that fun to listen to other than the first 11. 47's a little interesting cause there's singing and it's entirely reversed. Also some screaming. This one's pretty cool actually. Oh my gosh so is the next one, but by now it's getting pretty annoying. Okay yeah that got REALLY annoying for 11 whole tracks (some of which got quite long). 56 starts skipping around the phrase "a mysterious sound", pretty cool. Okay so these are all gonna be skiparounds. Probably gonna be annoying since the first two are both vocal though. They're talkin bout preline tests. 67's a full on harsh noise track, it's pretty cool. So is 68. So is 69, so I guess these 11 AREN'T all skiparounds? Or are they just FL manipulations of samples maybe, that's probably it. OH wait I'm stupid, 56 is when that series of skiparound tracks started, and then 11 tracks since then, 67 was the start of the harsh noise tracks. So it is going like normal, whoops. Yeah, those were all just really short I guess. My ears hurt, I need to stop listening to this. Okay, it's now like two weeks later (Sunday, August 22nd), and we're gonna chunk through it again. This time, I'm listening to this WHILE listening to the first Nanocyborg album (yes, I'm still trying to get through that, it's very hard, okay?). Well this track's actually a pretty interesting noise track considering it's not one noise the whole time and this weird synth loop comes in until it abruptly changes to another noise. Yeah, these hurt my ears, but they're pretty cool (I guess I could just turn them down). Next track (72) has a super cool glitch ending. These are probably my favorite set of 11 tracks out of the whole thing, they're all cool noise walls of sort. 74 sounds a lot like the second set of 11 tracks, it being a noisy synth jam (which these probably all are, but this is the most recognizable as such). Alright, track 78 started, marking the beginning of the next 11 tracks and it's semi-rhythmic noise. Sounds like just really really distorted MIDI drums. So like the last 11 but in drum form. Let's see if this holds up at all (especially the fucking 23 minute track that's in this set). 79 is MIDI drums but not distorted at all. Maybe a little compressed, but yeah. Yeah, each one of these has a different effect over them, I predict the 23 minute one might be some sort of stretch. Nope, it's fast delay, but pretty interesting cause it's not just the one effect the whole time, this one's like a full fledged noise jam. I quite like this track actually, might be my favorite track on the whole thing. One of the only few here I'd actually call good. Okay, so track 89 is weird phone motem beeps and some voice that comes in. Super weird. Next one is complete silence followed by a crinkle of a bag sound. Next one is a ding, followed by complete silence, then ends with another ding. Next track is complete silence. Okay I think I have this theme down, random sound effects surrounded by complete silence. Also that means these next few tracks are gonna be REALLY boring cause they last like 3 minutes each. I mean, there's some slightly interesting sound effects in here, but these songs just suck. Woah so track 100 starts the last 11 and it starts with piano on top of kid bein sad. Cool for 30 seconds, next track is a really cool skiparound of an anime track. Next track is some weird recording of a dance party or something. Idk it turns into rick roll though, but it's still like that weird recording thing. OHH THE END THE DJ GUY SAYS IT'S A MIDDLE SCHOOL. Next song is some full on song thing in a foreign language (sounds like Spanish), it's unedited. Next track is some kid poorly beatboxing dubstep. I still can't figure out what this theme is supposed to be. My guess is weird audio files found on their computer. Next track is weird, sounds like it was put under like 3 audacity effects. Same with the next track. OKOK, it's August 29th now and I'm FINALLY finishing this album (before this I finished the first 2 Nanocyborg Uberholocaust albums). Next track is something in an East Asian language (I think) and it's just raw voice. Eventually weird music comes into the background. Oh, and then there are some super weird noises that come in. Then punch sound effects? (but the voices make it sound like the punch sounds are supposed to be there). Yeah, I don't know what this is. Next track is some Indian pop song (again, I think). Track 107 is just a really weird jumble of stuff. Same type of full-length audio files though. The last 12 second track was funny. Okay that's over, pretty Eh album, nothing really that good about it, my favorite tracks were either the first 11 or last 11.
1. Stunning. Daring. Dramatic. These are the sounds of "RINGEX INFO", as they Pronounce The Titles Of Every Single Track They've Ever Released On Any Alias. This answers your questions about how to pronounce them. This move is Stunning. Daring. Dramatic. Bold. Uppercase. Heroic. I am literally peeing - 52:23
2. Yet Somehow, In All Of That Time, The Vast Majority Of The "Probably Scrapped" Titles Were Entirely Neglected. Enjoy Your Bonus 45 Minutes Of Titles You Can't Even Read Along To, Because Almost None Of Them Were Released In Any Sort Of Public Capacity. Embarrassing. - 45:18
So I thought this would be a LOT more of LIST OF TITLES, but they actually fully describe
stories behind albums and explain things while listing these, so this is actually being a lot more
interesting than I thought it would be. Dissappointingly, they refuse to read out the REAL track name of the following vol. 3. Also bit of a meta moment, RINGEX acknowledges at the end that I'm the only person that's ever going to hear that. Thanks. Second track is especially interesting since it's entirely unreleased tracks. I found the "Baby Year Old Genius" series to be quite entertaining actually. Also addresses that they don't know why anyone would be listening to it. Thanks. Also fun fact, I already reviewed 9.2 on here so I can skip that one! (UPDATE AS OF DECEMBER 3rd 2021: Tracks are each 16 seconds of silence now, cause Roxy hates her pre-transition voice (she said she was okay with me saying that, leaving that on the record))

Well, the alias being used on this being "RINGEX SILENCE" doesn't give me much hope that this release won't be entirely silent. Ok, started and it's not silent. Starts out super interesting actually, like a super cool jump in on some weird compressed orchestral thing and it sounds like a track off of 94diskont, I'm liking this a lot already. Listening to this on September 4th during a particularly inaudible Nanocyborg Uberholocaust track (more info about that on the Nanocyborg listening project, it's fun how these universes connect together). Anyways, it continues like that super cool for about 5 and a half minutes until the clicks start speeding up, then they go so fast they form their own sort of speech, then it's like how it was like earlier but *demonic*! This is actually super cool. Ooh, and then it was like how it was but lower pitched. This really sounds like a top tier cut off 94diskont. Some pitch shift arounds at points, The last couple minutes are super cool cause they have this super weird effect where every skip it's this crazy boom that sounds like some weird chorus modulation thing. This is definitely a standout track in RINGEX's discog. This second track is also super cool, this crazy wack drone thing, sounds like the world ending the whole time. Alright, not gonna lie that actually did get a little boring by the end. Next track's just a field recording of walking through some woods. You can sometimes hear cicadas and what not. At 13 and a half minutes Rika has a seizure in the microphone, don't know what that's about. Ooh, 32 minutes in it changes to a different field recording (now the description makes sense, but makes me think I missed a few transitions). Anyways, this one's inside of a grocery store (I think). Ooh, changes again at 38 minutes. Lol, at 46:30 some store clerk comes and asks if they need help finding anything, then they journey to find Aloe Vera juice. Okay, so it's Walmart they're at (oh, this is probably where the cover art comes from). Ya know, I thought this album was really awesome when it started and then it just kinda got worse as it went along to where it is now, hour long walmart field recording. Rika acknowledges that they're going to feel really dumb when they find where the aloe vera juice is. The Walmart employee agrees that it's not in its usual place and they go on quite a long way to find it, other employees get sucked in too, it's quite the romp. Oh yay, they found it. Nice. There indeed are three different sizes. Just because the first track was so awesome, this'll probably still get placed in the good tier. Ends with a door sound which is nice.

20 minutes or so of different drum beats with the same sounds. Default drum fun! It's obviously not very good, not like it was meant to be though. The annoying part is these tracks sound so compressed it just sounds wrong, like it's just off enough to be designed to make me cringe! Like I'm looking at an annoyingly blurry photo. Alright, alright, I like track 13. Nice distorted ending too, but yeah stupid thing lol.

Somebody's live show but completely fucked up in like the best way possible? (Idk if it's the best way possible but it sounds like some hellish euphoria). It's going to be pretty hard to articulate my thoughts on this. Okay, after a couple songs it literally sounds like the live show, but vaporwaved with a bunch of weird ass effects that create this insane atmosphere that I actually quite like. But like, it's not much, this album objectively isn't very much. I don't know how long this effect can sustain being entertaining either, the whole thing's longer than a CD. Track 4 is weird cause it's just them talking about Anna Lisa for the whole time. I do really like how this whole thing sounds actually, I don't think the effect will get old by 80 minutes. Track 5 has a few random skips in it. This whole thing's like an uncanny vaporwave album. The background effects under the foreground euphoric vaporwave are completely hellish, but extremely subtle, there's random skips and cutoffs everywhere, track 7 ends with 5 minutes of reverbed drone after the original song ends. This is crazy, it's pretty good actually. Track 9 is super crazy actually. This album doesn't have any right to be as emotional as it is.

Well, its been a long time. I've sorta been preoccupied with marching band and Nanocyborg Uberholocaust. Today's the 23rd of September. Insane that I've committed this much to this project. Okay, this album so far (only 3 minutes in) is actually really interesting and nice. I didn't expect it to be based off the description, but here we are. This is sort of a funeral for their dead cat(s) btw. Starts with some ultra compressed field recordings, then vibraphone notes??? So this is an ultra compressed vibraphone symphony! It's amazing. This is such a unique soundscape! Ooh, and then these strings come in and they play this crazy intense melody, it's awesome! Yeah, this is powerful. Also hurts cause there's some really high frequencies that are up there too. Painful in a great way. 14 minutes in, and those strings go away and it's just amazing ambience. Then some other weird field recording type thing on top of it (I can't really tell). This sounds a lot like the early Oval albums, but without the glitches and just the ambience. Well, first track's done and that was AMAZING. Second track is a really nice drone occasionally interrupted by clicks that sound straight out of Oval's Dok. This is crazy how close to Ovalprocess this sounds, just without all the skippy glitch stuff which is honestly okay. Reminds me of the third Fenn O'Berg album.

Upon starting, I'm greeted with a weird arrangement of reverbed and sometimes-reversed MIDI sounds. The drums sound super cool and these melodies are so intriguingly strange. Feels haunted (I mean I guess that fits the artwork, and it being based off the Aika Village in Animal Crossing [that story's worth looking into btw]). Funny story, I came across that by a series I used to watch way back in elementary school called Creepy Gaming. One of few things that legitimately scared me from that channel back then. Along with that weird My Little Pony flash game. The second track of this actually is super cool because all these instruments slow down and shit so it sounds like this totally insane haunted vaporwave MIDI thing. Also all these drony sine waves. This track just has an extremely cool sound to it. Oh and by the end the drums get progressively slower and stretched and warpy, and it's just left with this drony mass originating from drum sounds. Super cool. The third track is quite a bit different, another mass of melodic drones that create this crazy haunting atmosphere, but made from a completely different set of sounds than the first two tracks. Last track is some really nice bassy piano ditties, mixed in with some really funky static. My ears quite like this one. Another great RINGEX release.
1. MMDCCCLXXXVIII - 28:58
A 28-minute loop of one loud quarter-second knock.

Oh, and also my ears are bleeding.
(Part 2 of the Bull of Heaven tribute, RINGEX PLASTER does a cover of their personal least favorite Bull of Heaven track. It's meant to be bad, and it is bad.)
1. First Day of Harvest - 45:18
It starts out with like guitar noodling over a low quality field recording of harvesting? It's nice actually. The guitar's MIDI sadly, but I think it's supposed to be real. Anyways, I'm pretty sure this one's trying to be Bull of Heaven too. Whatever field recording is going on in the background is actually pretty interesting. By 12 minutes, the guitar improv is done. Then comes back after 13 minutes, but doing a different chord progression and over a different field recording. Actually this time it isn't improv, it's a loop, but it's nice. After around 25 minutes, the guitars stop and it's just harvesting field recordings. Nice. For the rest of it it seems to loop the same small field recording of harvesting. Then it cuts off and ends. I like the sounds for a lot of it, but it's really just not much more than decent. Can't really respect it compositionally, but I like it.
1. (๑ↀᆺↀ๑) .. (Φ ᆺ Φ) .. ( ⓛ ω ⓛ *)
So interesting developments. Its been like a couple weeks or so since listening to 17.2 and a LOT has happened. Firstly, still not done with the Nanocyborg project, but there's only a little bit left (just on the last two albums!!). Secondly, RINGEX PLASTER in the last 3 days has put out 3 albums, one daily (except for today, so I guess that's in the last 4 days actually). Apparently all of them are stuff thats been in the works for a year or so and was just NOW released (and I will get to them eventually OKAY? I want to finish this chronology before I get there! It'll take a while, I still have the 37 hour thing to get through). AND my laptop broke. Yeah, had to get a new one, I'm on a Mac now. That means I'm no longer editing this document in notepad, and instead have upgraded to IntelliJ!! In doing THIS, I found out the reason why using web-scrobbler to scrobble RINGEX PLASTER albums puts tracks under a different album than manually scrobbling even though the album titles appear to be spelled exactly the same... any guesses? This happens with EVERY RINGEX PLASTER album... That's right! Zero Width Spaces! A thing that IntelliJ ONLY shows! Huge mystery solved, thought it was a bug with last.fm (although they really should figure out a way around that). Roxy apparently has no idea why. And last thing. Now that I have a new computer that isn't total shite... this makes me phyiscally able to listen to the ULTRA long Bull of Heaven tracks. Cause I can finally keep the damn thing running!
ANYWAYS, the EP. It was eh, not too entertaining. The first half is exactly like 5.2, except even more compressed (which actually creates a fairly interesting soundscape until it gets slightly ruined by the fact that there's a single pulse that cuts everything in and out the ENTIRE time (listen to about a minute of this and you'll know what I'm talking about.)) Then about halfway through it turns to what appears to be the song playing into a distant microphone... Then at some point there's an echo effect. So the second half is actually fairly interesting. But yeah. This gave me a headache.

New Super Mario flash 2 game comes to extend the popularity for one of the most popular fan creations ever released online regarding browser based Mario games and while the current title is actually a spin off version of the original you will soon discover lots of improvements when it comes to g - 22:51
This is basically what I originally thought all the .2 EPs would sound like. Unedited aural
footage of Mario Flash Game. Yeah, pretty shite and definitely filler. It's such a shame this pair of Flash
inspired albums was made when it was, in a rush to get a specific set of things out before the election.
Because this concept could've been done SO much better than both albums being essentially extended periods of
unedited footage. Interestingly enough, there is this weird bitcrush/chorus thing that happens after a sizable period of silence about 12 minutes in. That actually manages to sound pretty cool, but also like my computer is irreparably lagging (this is giving me PTSD of my old laptop).

Yeah this one's the same concept as the first one. This one's like thirty times better
though, it's actually breakcore this time around, it's insane. Plus these samples are so wack and the songs
are a little bit more drawn out, so it's awesome. Yeah, very positive opinions on this. Cherry Blossom Girl
breakcored! This contains a lot of samples from previous PLASTER releases. Also nice, Bull of Heaven 210
Excerpt A sample. This one has so much more hilarious samples, kinda what I hope for RINGEX PLASTER forever.
I want a totally wack breakcore album like this, that would be so based.

Some vinyl crackle effect atop quiet static with some reverb. Actually quite calming.
At 9 minutes a small voice comes in, so maybe the original material is a field recording of some sort.

Well here it is. When I'm done with this, this will be by far the longest album I've ever
listened to. And I've now listened to 4 albums longer than 16.1 (wow, I remember when just the thought of
that scared me, and now here I am). Well only 4 tracks in and so far all of these piano tracks sound the
same. Track 4 is actually the first one to even change the key. But even then, it's still the same general
rhythms that have been rambled on and on in the first three tracks. Even at that, it's still not too boring
yet. Still feels like things are just starting. Track 5 is an actually cool chord, quite different from the
established scales of the previous tracks. Then track 6 picks back upon it, and now we have a pretty
interesting key! This one does something different than the other tracks, but then it still sounds like the
same general thing. When I skimmed through this, I recall some tracks having odd noises on top of them (maybe
those were just the ones ghosmint helped out with, I'm not sure). Ooh, piano 10 is the first one WITH said
odd noises (although no external performers were on this, so there's cool noise on this album! Dope!)
Although these noises are just messing with the key tuning, not actual noise.
Alright, it's [SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24th] and I got to listen to some of this today while waiting in line for some rides at Six Flags. Here's
some notes I got: "13 has some interesting things done with overtones (possibly resonating). 14 ends with a
really long sustained note drone, it’s kinda funny. 15 sounds like it’s using a different MIDI instrument
than the other ones, more like an electric piano patch rather than a grand piano (or maybe it’s just EQed
differently, but it sounds different. That might also just be me in the Six Flags line). RINGEX is actually a
pretty decent improviser, all these tracks actually manage to sound pretty nice and have a (somewhat)
tangible chord progression to them. 16’s nice for having all these left/right ear things, it sounds like a
cacophony but actually structured and with intervals between notes that actually sound nice, so it turns out
to be a real nice soundscape. I assume this is two recordings of really similar improv layered over each
other and slightly panned (one left and one right). At about 7 minutes into 16, it starts getting these super
laggy sounds, which is another interesting soundscape especially when one of the things starts to echo a lot.
16 is one of the more interesting tracks on here so far, not just simply piano improv on this one! There’s a
lot of delay and repetition going on. 17 starts out REAL fuckin loud and reverby, actually sounds somewhat
close to a Sigur Rós track and I absolutely adore it. It also gets real distorted by the end. Super crazy
noises at the end!! Woah, 18 is just these high pitched beeps. Actually it sounds like it was put through
Audacity and had the noise removal effect put on it." Also while I write this, let me note that I'm currently
on 19 and it has some super fuckin crazy noises, it's cool. Alright now that that's out of the way, let me
tell you about my absolutely insane trip to Six Flags. So there was this kid dressed up as Mario who kept
randomly appearing in strange places right when we all were thinking "I wonder where that Mario kid is..."
and then he would just fuckin appear!!! I sound insane, point is I'm really tired. We went to IHOP and some
kids gave us a jack o lantern and a mint condition pregnancy test, they were probably high or something, I
don't know I'm just out here living my life. I assume the review for this piano thing at some point will
start reading more like a diary and less like a review, but I'm very fine with that so whatever. Wait a
minute, fuck this is the Nanocyborg Uberholocaust review page, damnit. Alright, time to copy/paste this over
to the other html page (I'm still getting used to navigating Intellij). Anyways, 20's fairly average, nothing
crazy about it. 22's pretty cool, starts with what sounds like a different MIDI patch and more drawn out
drones than piano notes. 23 is EQ'd weirdly and has a really interesting skipping/glitch segment (not glitchy
in the sense of CD skipping, but it loops and goes through notes in a really interesting pattern, and has a
lot of lag and reverb, so it's pretty cool). I'm somehow managing to like this quite a bit. 23 also has some
extensive periods of silence. Then it has a really interesting delay rhythm section at the end paired with
these weird clicks. 27 starts and I swear like all of the tracks on here have started out with the exact same
notes. Or maybe they're all in the same scale or something. I don't know, it's a strange experience sorta
listening to the same thing over and over again. But then one note gets held out and stretched, and there's
this weird ass flanger effect on top of it. I think it is an earlier track but with new effects on top of it.
Oh and by the way, ever since 23, its been Monday. Also finished the Nanocyborg Uberholocaust listening
project today. Also have to work on English homework and it's already 11 at night. What I really want to do
though is cry. Tuesday morning now! Doing some schoolwork before school, last night I wasn't totally there.
But I'm on track to finish it this morning, so we cool! 30 starts with a really ambient sound of the piano, a
patch not really heard before, it's quite nice. On the contrary, 31 starts with a super sharp and articulate
piano sound, one that sounds almost painful to listen to, but then parts of track 30 start kicking in on top
of it, but EQd so that it's super bassy. Interesting. Later on, 31 also has some super cool noises. Tuesday
afternoon now, just finishing 32, nothing really to mention here. 33 also has an extensive period of silence
at the end, before going into one of the craziest noises ever and totally cutting off. 35 starts with a deep
bass sound with super overdrive on top of it. I think this one's gimmick is being totally boosted. Anyways,
that's done, and it was actually pretty good. Tonight, I made a series of interesting decisions while
listening to this. First off, Arcade Craniacs broke up!!! I watched the break up livestream reupload WHILE
listening to this, so if this already didn't make me want to cry (I can't help it, this album's actually
really good!), then that absolutely did. Also I've just had a really shit day, I don't really want to get
into it though. In other news, after that finished, I decided to listen to something else WHILE listening to
this thing. That being a new compilation that I'm on that the Bull of Heaven Discord server made as a bit of
a joke. It's very long Here it
is. There's also really long periods of silence in 36, so it's helping fill the gaps a bit. 36 is
pretty boring, but whatever. There's a lot of enduring to be done with this thing, although I'm already
nearing track 40! That in of itself is quite the achievement. Halfway through 38, Roxy tries to play Lavender
Town by ear. Peak content as always.
It's now Wednesday, the 27th! It won't be for long, there's about 19 minutes left of the day. Working on
some homework and hopefully getting to sleep, but not without some RINGEX PIANIST! 41 has some really
interesting noises to it actually. Drawn out delay buzzes and shit, totally not expected. I actually paused
the compilation to pay more close attention to this track, it's very good. Alright, 32 minutes is all for
tonight, I'll wake up tomorrow morning (hey, it's still today! going to sleep at 11:59 PM). Anyways, now it's
tomorrow morning, 42 is generic and not notable. On the other hand, 43 is very notable and weird. 44's also
really glitchy. All these noise ones are a cool break from the pattern, but they all pretty obviously sound
like messing around in FL studio (which is really this whole album even though parts of it are really cool).
At this point in the album you can tell when RINGEX gets bored and there's a lot of extensive periods of
silence. 46 has a lot of sustain and reverb, creating some really amazing ambient textures (again sounding
like Leyland Kirby). Oh and by the way, it's Thursday night now.
Saturday night! Got home from a band competition where we played out best show by far and absolutely got
no recognition, kinda bangin. 47 is only notable right now for being the longest one so far, but absolutely
does NOT deserve to be. It has no special effects, a lot of the notes are really lazy, and there's MORE
extended periods of silence! 48's pretty interesting for a little while for messing with the really low notes
the entire time creating this weird ambient effect. Then it gets pretty boring, and actually at times
painful. I totally tuned out until the end where it started doing glitchy stuff for a FEW blissful seconds.
49 starts out with piano AND other synth sounds interestingly enough. OHH, this is because this is the first
track with another performer on it! Hello ghosmint.
Monday, November 1st. Working (or rather, procrastinating) on homework again. I listened to this the past
couple days and just didn't have comments to write, but made it all the way to 57 just to say that 57's
pretty cool. 57's really noisy for most of the time, and actually manages to still retain its melody through
the noise, I think it might actually be the most interesting track so far. Especially after this massive slew
of relatively uninteresting tracks (most of which contained large gaps of silence cause RINGEX presumably got
bored). Alright so interesting revelation, I've been feeling a hell of a massive burnout on life ever since I
started this album. Homework has been quite challenging to focus on. I turn on track 2 to 16.1 and turn the
piano shit off, and suddenly I'm able to focus much more on the homework. I guess this album is really bad
for homework lol. Begs the question of when I'm gonna listen to it though.
Maybe it's just too loud. Maybe I'm too tired. Idk, it's November 2nd now. Anyways got through 59 and a
few minutes of 60, time to go to bed. Alright, now it's Wednesday, and it's actually just about the first
cold day of the year (randomly through 61 they start playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star). Like this morning
I think it was around 40 degrees out, cold for Texas. But also surprising that this is starting in November,
normally we have quite a few cold days in October, but I guess it's late this year. I think I've somewhat ran
out of things to talk about with this release lol, it's piano and more piano! I'm still only slightly halfway
through, what the Hell am I gonna do??? This thing is gonna take me all November to get through. Actually, I
think it was about this time last year when I started the original RINGEX PLASTER listening project oddly
enough. I remember working on it while cleaning the band hall during Thanksgiving break. Hearing Homophonics
for the first time during that is genuinely one of my favorite music-related memories ever. These tracks just
get longer and longer, there are more 50+ minute tracks as we get deeper. Hey, end of 61 has noise! Then it
has a nice toned down glitch section! This piano really was starting to get too in-the-high-end. 62 continues
it!!! 66 also has a really nice noise segment at the end, a weird loop of high scratching pitches, definitely
messing with delay effects. 67 also has some really cool noise segments, including blown out slowed-down
samples (Nanocyborg Uberholocaust moment).
Thursday, the 4th. Hey, it's the two-week anniversary of starting this 34 hour album! And I'm on 68 which
is pretty cool! On 68 they keep playing like half of the Megalovania riff interspersed within a bunch of
noise. Holy crap 69 has the first non-MIDI samples here. Vocal samples! Whatever the fuck they are! They're
weird! Then there's what I think is porn over the piano notes lol. It's funny cause the piano part actually
sounds good. Of course it's porn, I don't think anyone was ever supposed to even find this out. Yeah, it's
very obviously porn. It's weirdly recorded really poorly. WAIT FUCK I JUST GOT THE JOKE IT'S CAUSE THE
NUMBER'S 69. 69 also has some really great parts near the end, shame about the porn :(. Wait a minute what
the fuck, 3.1 is back up completely?!!! (Okay got confirmation from Roxy that it's instrumental versions, but
still... interesting). I guess I have to listen to that when this is done. 70's actually really good even
though it's more piano improv. I quite like how this one goes, very emotional and grindy for a long time,
without the stupid extensive long gaps of silence (that was really annoying, I'm glad we've sorta moved
away from that for the past few tracks). 71's also really good, it's somewhat like that but with an overdrive
and delay effect, so it sounds a lot like the second track on Modern Jester. Actually, I think 71 might be my
favorite track on the whole thing so far. It really just sounds magical, these amazing synth glissandos mixed
in with their perfect rhythmic glitch effects as it transitions out of Modern Jester style. These piano
scrapes are absolutely magical, sound very reminiscent of amazing black MIDI.
Alright, its been a little while, I took a well-deserved break (also just full-on wasn't able to listen
to anything during Friday and Saturday). But it's Monday, the 8th of November, and I'm resuming track 71. So
this weekend has been one of the most weirdly eventful weekends ever. Friday was our very last football game
of the season. It was an away game and oddly enough they gave OUR seniors a better sendoff than our senior
night at the previous week's home game. At our game they just kinda announced people's names like it was a
normal thing, but at their game at the very end they were all like "Seniors, as you walk this field for the
last time, I want you to remember whatnot and soforth," and it was the stadium announcer doing that, it was
amazing! Made me actually appreciative rather than our previous game. Okay and now other things. Saturday was
our last competition of the season, a drumline only competition. After the absolute failure that was UIL area
(pretty sure I explained that within this review, this albums been going on forever lol) we won first in our
division, best quads and best snares (I'm the quad section leader, teehee). 71 has long periods of silence,
damnit. Sunday wasn't too eventful, but I started doing some music-related things, got my track for King
Tiger's Hmm Remixes compilation done and started work on Sine Wave Solo. Today was the weird day. Right at
the beginning of the damn morning I awake to find a demo has been sent in to EMCD. It's one of the best demos
I've ever recieved. Also while listening to the demo I'm pretty sure I got a girlfriend (not confirmed yet,
but what the fuck). Oh yeah forgot to mention, we have this Monday off even though it's not a holiday. We
just do... for whatever reason. But anyways, that last thing I just kinda glossed over. We were texting a lot
last night (we've known each other for a little while now) but it was getting somewhat flirty last night and
some things got HEAVILY implied this morning, but I digress. I'll report back when things are confirmed. Time
to continue this 34 hour album. The bane of my existence. Ooh, 72 starts with organ sounds! I like this. It
sounds especially romantic. Ends with a nice drone holding of a note. 73 is pretty good too, glittery
glissandos and huge octave jumps. A lot of stuff in the really high register, but in a nice twinkly way and
not just the overly trebbly MIDI keys sound that bores into your head. No, it's much better than that. The
stuff in the lower register is also EQd in a really great way. This track's awesome.
Well... it's been quite some time (I think about only a week, maybe even less actually). It's currently
Sunday, November 14th (2021 of course) and I just finished a 6 hour album that I've been using to take a
break from this project. It was ひまわり画像 by 天気予報 and it was amazing (so there's now 27 albums on My list of extra long (4+ hour) albums I've listened to.)
Some
parts
were dull, but it was
just this
endless onslaught of Japanese TV clips that executed its atmosphere perfectly. Up until the end, it's the
only happy vaporwave I've ever heard, and it gives this great atmosphere of appreciating some of the little
things in life for a while. Just feels like a sneak peek into the lives of others instead of yourself, being
encompassed in someone else's world instead of worrying about your own problems. Been working on that since
Wednesday, glad to have finished it. This weekend has also been about as strangely eventful as last weekend.
Or yesterday was just REALLY eventful. On top of now being owner of the Venetian Snares Discord Server, I saw
my very first noise show(s) last night, and boy do I have a LOT to say about that. It was Day 2 of the
Unhinged "Festival" At Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios in Denton and it was maybe the most fun night I've
ever had. Strong 'maybe' though. The very first show was these two dressed in anime maid costumes and neko
ears that played a set that lasted around 3 minutes crawling on stage with random samplers and shit. Barely
anyone was there and I was sitting in a room until I heard the noise start from outside. I thought they were
just testing out sounds, and talking to someone else later, that's what they thought too. They sampled some
amen breaks. They went under the name "Saturday Night Live". Like halfway through their set one of them
shouted "I broke it!" and then about a minute later "That's the end!" and that was their set, it was amazing.
The next guy, daniel ryan, played for around 10 minutes of a no input mixer meets contact mic meets tape
loops meets effect pedals set. It was pretty entertaining too. Shuffled around his table a bit aggressively,
only a precursor as to what would happen later. Next was a duo named "Rrose Selavies" who played for about 8
minutes. One on guitar, one on vocals. It was really weird, it was like random guitar noise while the guy
said something in Spanish while being very animated. While they were setting up he kept making Spongebob
jokes into the mic. And then about halfway through he started screaming and jumping around, it was awesome.
Both his beanie and glasses fell off. Both of them also started aggressively bumping into people in the
crowd. Again, only a precursor as to what was to come. Next was spring breeding, a show with a drummer, a
bassist, a guitarist, and two synths. Some out there noise rock shit, was pretty dope, the first track had a
really nice bass part to it. Next was Samantha Riott, the first indoors show where she sang over some MIDI
she made. Really confident too, it was great. Some more minimalist and reverby MIDI stuff too. Next was
Sexual Jeremy, my friend's band who I was there to see. Dope ass silly ass math/noise rock stuff, was
amazing, possibly the best show there (tied with two others). Drummer started off the show with the funniest
cound off I've ever heard ("a one, a two, a chickadaboom chick") which burst into full on noise with each of
the guitars and bass doing this super weird rhythm which utilized slides in a way I've never seen before.
Then throughout the show they were all just super animated. Next was Morgan Garrett, a performance with Ninja
McTits-esque energy, the guy screamed and flailed the whole time with this LARGE noise set up to the side of
him, was really awesome, one of my favorites there. Next was Flesh Narc, a band with a somewhat large
following who did some awesome noise rock shit. Then there was Shit and Shine, a really surreal performance
shrouded in smoke machines where a guy in full Texas gear and long white beard played a dubtechno set which
utilized what I think was an Angry Grandpa YouTube video in FULL about a 4 cheese whopper. Sounded like
RINGEX PLASTER. Next was Evicshen, my favorite show there tied with the two others. Very clearly Hanatarash
inspired, she had this noise table set up with the most interesting part being a motor with a vinyl attached
to it that she played with her fingernails. She had these long ass sharp ass fingernails that she would
scratch the vinyl with and actually get sound out of because they were sharp enough to act like a stylus. [In
other news, 75 has some nice distorted noise in the background of the actual piano, I kinda actually didn't
notice it was there for a while because it was blending in perfectly with my memories of last night haha].
But anyways, very early into the show she shoved the table and the side of it fell, a showhand helped her
pick it back up. Then she threw a snare (not a drum, but the metal snare that makes the drum sound snarey)
out into the crowd (which the people of Saturday Night Live possessed [yes, still dressed in full maid gear]
until they gave it back to her when the show was finished). She climbed on top of the table and shit, tried
knocking the table down, but there were some showhands who were very intent on making sure she wouldn't be
destructive. At some point, she got out this large metal hoop, tumbled off the stage into the audience.
started tossing it around, tryna hit people all Hanatarash style and whatnot. Then at a point she hooks it
around one of the place's speakers, but a showhand is making sure she doesn't pull it off. So instead, she
hooks the thing around HIM and throws him into the audience, it was hilarious. Same showhand had to duck for
his life when she swung and threw a microphone across the stage. Show ended when she got out this giant
spring whip thing. Next was the big one everyone was there for, Wolf Eyes. They played a magnificent show,
with some segments so bassy that they shook you for minutes straight (what the fuck, as I'm typing this
sentence they follow me back on Instant Gram, that's hilarious). The one guy had a clarinet that he kept
changing mouthpieces on, at one point he pulled out a flute mouthpiece and played the damn thing like a
flute. The other guy had these noise boxes that were just making these insane alien noises, I had no clue how
they were doing it. Last show I saw was Black Bananas, they had some decent stuff with crazy high-pitched
guitar solos over some IDM ish dance beats on one of the guys' laptops, but the singer just sounded REALLY
fucking drunk, or maybe that was part of the act I don't really know, but it wasn't the best. The show also
had an hour booked for it for whatever reason. It was 11:30 and my dad got tired (also it was real cold,
probably not to you people who don't live in Texas, but all I brought was a damn sweatshirt and it was
getting to be 50 degrees out there) so we decided to call it a night. Wish I could've seen the last three,
but then I would've been out until like 2 in the morning. Awesome night nonetheless, and this album is still
going on. I guess maybe I should talk about it? 75 is weird cause it starts the same as a lot of them, then
somehow develops this Merzbow-like noise in the background while the normal piano stuff is still going on top
of it. Pretty cool actually. Not much more to say now, I should probably get back to work on my physics flash
cards, got a few things due tomorrow :P . I quite like how 76 starts out. The same chord progressions we've
been hearing this ENTIRE album, but in a different key for once! Sorta like the refrain at the end of a pop
song, although now it's just the last 10 or so hours of a 34 hour long album. There's a light at the end of
the tunnel now, all we have to do from here is endure, although my Wednesday and Thursday are pretty booked
up. So is my Saturday, going to see ANOTHER concert (this time ushering at a smooth jazz thing, so very much
not as hype, but whatever). Oh no, big chunks of silence on 76 :( . Gonna listen to some Merzbow while
listening to this. Putting on Camouflage, that's a pretty good one out of the ones I have. 76 has another
really noisy part, which glitches out these low piano notes, it's pretty cool. Might even pause this Merzbow
album. Alright now it's boring again, I turn on Merzbow. I'll turn it down a little though, I appreciate your
grinding Roxy. Well now there's weird echo sound thing again, I guess I'll turn off Merzbow AGAIN. Hmpf. Sigh
sound. I should be working on homework whoops I'm sorta wasting time right now. This track actually has a
really cool ending where the echo sound progressively gets louder until it does this rhythmic scratchy glitch
thing. 77 also has some really interesting and weird effects. Noticeable that ghosmint performs on this one
too. 79's really good, and the further I get into it (about 15 minutes now) this is one of the highlights of
the whole thing. Of course as I type this it goes back to the normal chord progression its been doing the
whole album, but for a while there it was doing something pretty unique. And it has this very
lofi-harpsichord-esque tambre to it that makes it one of the most emotionally gripping segments of the album.
Tuesday, didn't listen to any yesterday, finished 79 just now, still really good by the end, although
parts of it are a little dull. 80 has a really cool noise segment in the middle of it. Oh and then after that
goes on for a nice while, it goes back to piano in the same chord progressions we've been hearing through the
ENTIRE thing. My gawsh. 82 also has a lot of cool noise! 25 minutes into 82 has this nice melodic section
based around noise that reminds me a lot of Tim Hecker, this part is very cool. 45 minutes in also has this
super cool scratchy skippy glitch segment that changes chords in a unique progression through skips. I guess
you could say 82 is a highlight. And then at 51 this super awesome glitch beat comes in, yeah THIS one might
be the best track on the album. Of course, this is also ghosmint's last collaboration. Of course, this
hour-long epic ends with the same chord progression that's been on this ENTIRE GOD DAMN THING. Actually, a
really dope and atonal glitch thing happens for the last minute which suddenly transitions into the chord
progression, but in a really high octave and quiet. And THAT's 82 (Jeez, all these last ones are like full
albums, I swear the last 20 tracks are actually a third of the album). My guess is there's about 7 hours left
from here.
Friday night, November 19th. Here we are yet again. Didn't listen on Wednesday or Thursday cause I had
Jazz All Region, it was pretty fun. Got to play the sickest drum solo in front of a crowd ever (I've been
practicing drums quite a bit lately so that was nice). Anyways, 83 is somewhat cool I guess. There's a very
long very quiet drone for a while in the middle. This whole track's notes followed by extremely long reverb
drones. There's a huge gap of silence near the end.
Wahoo, Sunday the 21st, still sloggin through this. Yesterday was busy, so I didn't listen to this.
Yesterday I was volunteer ushering at some jazz thing (it was a Jazmin Ghent concert, apparently she's pretty
big I guess). Me and a friend were playing a small game of Impractical Jokers where every time we ushered
someone to their seats we took turns saying stupid shit to them. I think the funniest thing I got him to do
was to take somebody up a set of stairs and then realize their seat was actually on the ground floor. The
funniest thing he got me to do was the seemingly innocuous question of "What do you want for Christmas?" But
the next guy who came in that I had to do that to was... strange to say the least. So we're already in the
show because the show had started like 30 minutes ago, we're just there to seat latecomers. He walks in, hard
grabs one of my shoulders, leans in and goes "What do you need from me?" And in my head I'm just totally
confused cause HE's the one that needs something from ME, I'm the usher, he needs his seat. So I just kinda
awkwardly ask what his name is and if he has a ticket reserved and he just says SO close to my face (I
could smell his breath the whole time, wasn't terrible, just uncomfortable, and surprisingly didn't reek of booze)
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom, my wife will be here in a minute." It was just weird. Anyways, his wife comes
back and I find out his last name from just akward conversating from him being WAY too touchy and close (also
keep in mind this whole time it was hard to hear anything cause the concert was going on). And then I
manage to sort of awkwardly shove in "So, in the spirit of the holidays, what do you want for Christmas?" And he
responds "Did you just ask for a tip?" So if this situation wasn't already awkward enough, the fuckin guy
who's ALREADY grabbing me way too hard thinks I'm asking him for money now (I don't know whether he misheard
me or just interpreted the question like that, he was strange enough to believe the latter) and after I say
"NOOO no no no" he grabs me harder by BOTH shoulders this time and goes "BUDDY, I'm from New York, if you
want a tip just ask," and I forgot what I said but it was definitely some sort of awkward rejection that
couldn't really be heard. Anyways, led them to their seats and the guy slips me 5$. Pretty sure he's the only
guest who tipped any of us that night. [Sidenote, 87's pretty cool. A lot of lower register noises I guess
since I'm supposed to be giving a review or something.] And then we're letting people out of the place and
he's like one of the first to leave, a lot earlier than most people. He walks by and all he says to me is
"You alright?". And that was the strangest encounter I think I've ever had. Jesus, this album has spanned a
lot of territory of my life, wow. And on top of that, I guess I've just had a really eventful month. Anyways,
I think I might try to include a file directory at the top of this website. Like, album covers you can click
that directly link to each review. Although I'm not sure how to do that, I guess I'll have to find out!
Learning more HTML or CSS or whatever, here we go! Looks like this
link is helpful.
Anyways it looks like I can do this with simple a hrefs. Hey, success! Thoroughly convinced that 88 is
actually the exact same audio as something I've heard before here. It's the EXACT same chord progression
with seemingly the EXACT same notes. But maybe I've just heard this chord progression so much it just
sounds the same. It's actually pretty irritating. 89 is the same chord progression but with an organ
sound. Less irritating. Ooh, and noise comes in at about 8 minutes. Followed by heavy organ drone. Kinda
cool actually if it wasn't in THE SAME DAMN CHORD PROGRESSION (Jesus, I've been saying that so much
haven't I). Also I think I forgot to mention that it's Thanksgiving Break. I think I'll either finish
this thing today or tomorrow. Megalovania is snuck 30 minutes into 91. 91's actually slightly interesting
because it's not a chord progression we've heard yet! I think! Actually, this track is about the most
similar to what I originally thought this entire album would sound like. Oh and that's just
foreshadowing, because then a bit later, the track just devolves into Megalovania being played on a
sequence of different MIDI sounds. Well, 94 starts with really unique MIDI sounds, quite reverby and
tingy, certainly differenet sounds and actually somewhat professional (I mean I guess this whole thing
was FL Studio, but whatever). It also likes to flip through a bunch of MIDI sounds though, so they
obviously don't all sound like that. AHHHH THERE'S STILL 3 HOURS OF THIS.
It's Monday now and we're on 97. We are SOOOO close I can taste it but there's STILL LIKE 2 AND A HALF
HOURS. This track still has 10 minutes, and the last four added together are 2:38:24 long. 97 Actually
has quite a few recognizable melodic moments. Near the end, it's the chord progression from Canon, but
with some impressive (what I think is) improv in the right hand. And then it turns into some other chord
progression too. There was something else I recognized earlier but can't recall the name of. Interesting
track and probably the most technically impressive here. 98 also has random covers in it, or things that
sound like they're subtly trying to be covers. Stairway to Heaven, then The Entertainer. Then it's over
after a long period of silence or something. 99 time. Starts with a cover of that one captainsparklez
minecraft cover song (I know the actual song wasn't a Minecraft song, but that's all anyone knows it for
anymore). AHHHH MORE CHORD PROGRESSION (this is about 5 minutes in). Alright, now we're on 100. The
second to last track. I can feel the sweet release coming (although I can't finish it right now since I
have to leave in about 30 minutes). Starts with a loud, reverbed low note. Very horror-esque. Definitely
trying to promote feelings of finality. Then it turns into this weird noise wall made out of lag glitches
or something for a couple minutes, then more ultra heavy notes n whatnot. OH NO IT'S THE CHORD
PROGRESSION (but this time in the much lower register with TONS of reverb [and consequently, atonality]),
and hey, more of that lag noise wall thing! Then it does this noise thing which builds up until it
explodes into silence, that whole spiel thing. More chord progression, higher register with less reverb,
but enough to make a pleasant ambient drone in the background. Somewhat interesting improv. Wow, this is
really all about to come to a close. Ooh, then what sounds like either field recording or just windy
effect thing (but what I hope is field recording) over in-the-background piano! Okay it actually doesn't
sound too much like a field recording, more like some sort of bassy windy phaser effect with slight vinyl
crackle on top. The melodies and improv goes on for a while, and then the melodies slowly crumble away
(sorta like Disintegration Loops!) [Oh by the way, I'm back from what I had to do, with 20 minutes of
this left. Well 100 felt like a grand finale, so what does that make the last 10 minutes that are 101?
Well, it starts out like any epilogue should. A full glitch of a bunch of random piano sounds, then an
actual piano segment, then a large gap of silence, oh and wow, that's quite the grand gap of silence,
lasts from 2 minutes til 8 minutes. And then how else could it end? Of course. A cover of the rick roll
song. How else did I expect? Of course I go through 34 hours for it to subtly fuck me at the end. God
damn. Why did I do this again?
Well... I guess it's time to reflect now. Well as of now I still have 10 (11 if we're including the
rerelease of 3.1) RINGEX PLASTER releases to listen to and review. Was it worth it? ...sure... I guess.
Parts of it were great, parts of it weren't, it was a HUGE mixed bag, but at some points just felt
totally DRAINING. But sometimes it was nice to have a constant to come back to. And it just ended today.
And I no longer have massive piano album to listen to. So what do I do now? I mean... I don't know.
Should I take a break from RINGEX PLASTER? Or should I continue the binge? I'm not too excited for 25.1,
I listened to a bit of it when it came out and... it's not that good. Idk, we'll figure it all out, but
for the first time in a month, I FINALLY get to update the damn Neocities. It's about time. You're
welcome Roxy.

What better way to celebrate finishing the 34 hour piano thing than listening to more
RINGEX
PLASTER? Hey, at
least this isn't piano! Actually I quite like it because of that. Shit, I forgot to rank where 22.2 goes hold on
a sec. Anyways, first track is a really nice field recording. Second track is a quiet glitch/ambient track,
pretty scary! Last track's a fairly interesting ambient thing. It just sorta cuts off after a while lol. Idk,
pretty decent, doesn't really develop into anything.
1. dare, dare, ok, well i dare you too i guess. just come on over next time and we'll get things started

2. , - 0:07
This one's actually really damn interesting. So I think the original source material is
a field
recording, but some effects have been applied to turn it into more of a quiet harsh noise wall (except the
noise is more ambient than noise and in the lower register). Still a bit unnerving though. But that's not
all! On top of that there's this weird sample of reversed clicks going on that just makes the sound so much
more interesting. And on top of THAT, probably the most interesting of all, are the bird tweets that seem to
peek out over everything creating this totally crazy soundscape. Yes, I quite like this one.

8. For Now - 12:13
So when 25.1 was released (I think, at least around then is when I noticed) the album
artwork
to this and
8.1 changed. This was minor, it just removed traces to Roxy's Roblox account (same with 8.1, except in doing
so on that one, she also decided to make the artwork considerably more abstract and I actually like it a lot
more). Does this set the precedent for RINGEX PLASTER releases to not remain static? Not really, that was
just a final step in removing herself from her past self. And this album was rereleased in the process! So it
turns out the reason a lot of these tracks were scrubbed is cause... ██████████████████████████ (██████████████████████████████████████). The tracks have been █████████████████████████. Plus the three ██████████████
tracks that had always existed. First track is... much funnier than I remember it being. Maybe I finally get
it. Maybe my sense of humor's total shit. Idk, it works, it's funny! Track 2. Starts with weird beeping. And
that's what the track is, it's a super weird, spastic noise track. More in the realm of microsound though
than full on harsh noise, it's filled with these small beeps and clicks. Pretty cool actually. The repetitive
high pitched beep does get a bit annoying though. Ooh, and 23 minutes in, some really interesting bleeps,
although sadly the track ends like right after they come in. Track 3 is certainly weird. Starts with the
FL Studio timestretch sound of something, then lands into a house track? And it doesn't sound like a
sampled house track either, this is fairly believable as a RINGEX original. Yeah, I don't like it too
much. There's some interesting stuff here and there, some weird beat changes, but it definitely feels
totally empty. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Oh and then it turns into
brostep dubstep. Yeah this track's pretty terrible lol. Then it's Toby song! I like this one! Also did I
ever mention the random ass cartoon sound effects in the middle? cause I totally didn't remember these.
Track 5 seems like a Nanocyborg Uberholocaust track. Definitely something slowed down in there, but also
some ambience noise whatnot. Goes on too long without developing much. It's not really that good of a
noise track. I mean it's kinda good, but yeah. Okay, can it end now please? No? Oh you still have two
minutes. Great. This song is TOO FUCKING LONG AND THIS ALBUM ISN'T THAT GOOD. My brain is mush. Alright,
so I listened to like 40 minutes of this at the grocery store. Track 6 is awesome. It's something that I
haven't really ever heard from RINGEX PLASTER, sorta Roxy's take on lofi beats it seems. There's this
amazing segment near the end that has these weird beats with these skittering scratching noises on top of
it that are ultra satisfying to the ears. Amazing and trippy. Also got through like half of track 7. It
made me jump in the middle of the grocery store cause it's so much louder than the previous track. This
is like Kevin Drumm's Relief but with screams. It is actually pretty decent. Last track's a noisy and
distorted lil melody. It's nice, reminds me of Bogdan Raczynski. But I've already had 34 hours of this,
so it's a little bittersweet. Actually no it's not, cause every one of those songs had the same chord
progression. And this one's pretty good! Alright, as a whole, there were some good parts and some bad
parts. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.

Pretty gimmicky release. Every 4 tracks is a harsh noise wall track, everything else is
"synthpop". Second track has the GOD DAMN CHORD PROGRESSION AGAIN. Fourth track, otherwise known as the first
harsh noise wall here, is actually pretty good. Although it hurts my ears. But yeah, it's a really
interesting noise wall, lots of compression artifact sounds and generator type things. I'm not 100% sure what
I mean by that. The next noise wall (just gonna ignore the interlude synthpop shit, it's not very good and I
don't get it) is less in the high end and sounds like it has a lot of use of delay effects. Hard to hear at
first, but really easy to pick up on once you're 40 minutes in. Therefore, it's not actually the same noise
wall the whole time (I mean it is, but it's really easy to pick up on subtle changes that aren't present [or
are at least a LOT more subtle] in most noise wall tracks). It's pretty good actually, doesn't hurt my ears
like the first one. Oh shit, at 57 minutes there's a MAJOR change, it suddenly turns into this huge bass
buzz. Actually sounds super cool. Yeah this track is awesome, the wall part was super cool too. Sounds like
the noise I've been making recently with my modified no input mixer setup. Track 9 was actually pretty cool,
I liked that one. Also their names are pretty funny. Also track 11 is a slightly sped up version of 10,
hilarious. Alright, third noise wall track. This is also another interesting soundscape! A more pitchy and
resonant sound, definitely originating from some sort of feedback is the main attraction here. But there's
also some subtle bass waves, like there's a whole other thing going on underneath it. And on top of it all,
really acting like icing on this noise wall cake, is these rapid high pitched clicking sounds. Track 14 has
some pretty interesting beats. 15 is literally a slightly slowed down version of track 3. Alright, the fourth
"Wall" is pretty much not even a wall, it's just a full on noise track (I guess that makes it great). It
starts out really weirdly though, just a tap and reverb into silence, then the noise comes in. And a single
noise doesn't last longer than a few seconds, it varies a LOT. I'm really not articulating the best thoughts
on this one lol, doesn't provoke much *words* out of me I guess. Sounds a lot like Merzbow this one. Got
these harsh feedback scrapes that sound like howling dogs. Oh, speaking of dogs, I should be making money
watching my mom's friend's dog. I did that she should be coming over any minute now with a fat wad of cash
that will eventually turn into Bogdan Raczynski CDs. Oh and fun fact, you know how I got the anchor IDs
working so now there's a massive file directory at the top of this webpage? If you're done reading a review
and want to go back to the top, you can just hit the back arrow! I'm not sure how common knowledge that is,
I'm not really tech savvy. Also if people don't already know that, chances are they're not just gonna come
across this one random review, 48 releases (well 49 if you count the rerelease of 3.1) in. So anyways, I
originally thought that the synthpop detracted from the album, but they
actually prove to be really nice interludes, I quite like the break from earbleeding noise. But the
earbleeding noise is really cool too! Even the first track was cool even though I didn't like it that much
since it really hurt my ears or whatever, but these tracks just keep getting better, this is the best noise
track so far! Not even a harsh noise wall, it's too variant to call it that. Still slow progressions, but not
that slow, it basically mirrors a Merzbow album. Turns out I'll actually be getting that money tomorrow
anyhow. Then it just sorta cuts off after a while. Amazing track! Track 18 is the chord progression but with
an hip hop beat! 19 is a variation on 18. Sped up a little and with beat variation. 5th wall is pretty much
the same sound as the third wall, except the clicking is now so fast it's basically a third layer. It's also
considerably less stagnant than the third one, resembling moreof a full on noise album than simply a harsh
noise wall. Oh wow, track 21 sounds awesome, some great sound design in there that I totally wasn't
expecting. With a beat reminiscent of Bogdan Raczynski too! God damnit, 23 has the chord progression again. I
swear, I'm gonna be complaining about that forever, it's gonna give me PTSD eventually. Oh my gosh, then at 3
and a half minutes after being a cool beat thing, it turns into ANOTHER piano improv, funny reference. I
guess that's just gonna be embedded in everything from now on (albeit this one's not a piano sound, it's a
different more synthpoppy keyboard, but that's what I was saying on the piano album [EP] for a lot of the
tracks). Alright, Wall part 6! This one has like no high end at all, just low and mid. A lot of low too.
Somewhat hard to listen to because a lot of the sounds feel like they're garbled behind a poor EQ. Although
it sounds intentionally done. A lot of what sounds like sparse MIDI notes being hit with TONS of reverb is
what I think's going on under the noise wall. And there you have it, a basic breakdown of the two layers on
this one. Only like 3 minutes in but I think I don't like this one as much as the others. Maybe I'll rank
each wall at the end of this. Ooh actually, 5 minutes in and there's a really interesting high scrape thing.
Okay yeah, it's changing a lot (very much in the vein of the 4th wall). Then for a long time it actually is
pretty stagnant, with minimal (but noticable) changes for the remainder of the track. Faded into the
background pretty easily. Although as I type this, I instantly start to notice more changes. I don't know if
that's because more changes actually came in or because I started typing, but I can hear some more noticeable
feedback scrapes at around 46 minutes in. Although it seems like the changes have largely stopped again. I
love the name of some of these synthpop tracks. "Go meowstic" is hilarious. These tracks are actually
starting to grow on me. I think I might make a guestbook on this page, just for funsies. 7th wall time!!!
Okay so it has the same layer of clicking as the 5th wall, but with a deeper and scratchier noise wall. This
one doesn't change very much, it's a noise wall. Pretty good though! Tracks 29 and 30 are funny bloons
tower defense reference. Track 31 we pals is chord progression again. Modulated tho. Or something, maybe
that's not the right word. 8th wall! This is probably the closest to a full on wall out of all of them. It's
a few seconds of noticable pulsing that seem to loop, but it's less of a loop and moreof a giant pulse (over
the course of only a few seconds of course). And on Monday, November 29th, I finish the album! In news not
really related to anything, I feel like total shit. Probably the loneliest I've ever felt. My Thanksgiving
Break was notably shit cause I'm pretty sure I lost three of my closest friends due to them being selfish
dicks. And now life just feels painful and anxious. Also have girl problems, yay! Nothing different than
usual though, except for the fact that I guess I'm just EXTRA anxious now! I really gotta flirt with some
people man, it's so easy for me to find a way to mention MTS AIRMASS in a LOT of my conversations, why is it
so hard to flirt then? They should logically both be as fucking stupid to do and risking rejection, but I
guess I'm more used to rejection of my music taste? I don't know, fuck this shit man, life is awful right
now. Anyways, that was a decent noise wall. And then there's 3 synthpop tracks. They're decent I guess,
nothing special, the last one is a version of the penultimate one, but it progressively slows down and turns
into its OWN noise wall (quite appreciate that), although its noise wall is a little bit irritating,
completely in the low end and sounds compressed. But there we go! Should I rank the noise walls? Sure I
guess, here they are worst to best just off the top of my head, I've probably forgot what most of these sound
like. 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 7, 5, 4. 4 is the best cause it's very much not even a noise wall, it's just noise.
Alright there you go, there's your 8 hour album I guess. I'm gonna go to sleep and go back to feeling like
total shit.

Yeah here we go, a harsh noise wall EP of sorts to pair with that massive thing from
earlier. The first track is significantly less noisy and scratchy, sorta washes over like a wave instead of a
wall, feels a bit more ambient. Closer to actual white noise than the scratchy and painful walls from
earlier. Starts out like the fourth wall from 25.1 with that huge reverb tap, then a fade in to the noise.
Although it is certainly a wall, it doesn't vary much. I think it might actually have the sound of a babbling
brook very deep in the background. Second track starts out the same! This time you can really hear the river
sounds though. Also it's more scratchy (but still not that scratchy). Also a thing I forgot to mention on the
last track that's a lot more present on this track is the use of resonators that sound like whirlers.
Although they were very far in the background in the last track. Last track starts the same way of course,
how could it not? But it is a far different track. A lot of fast paced clicks and crackles absolutely DRENCHED
in reverb. A lot more of an interesting sound. A harsh noise wall for sure, but it's one of the most unique
ones I've heard. I quite like it. Ooh, at 23 and a half minutes it sorta fades out, becomes more sparse and
actually sounds a lot like bitcrushed rain and thunder. Then it fades back in and it's all cool. Oh it
becomes REALLY sparse at like 29 minutes. Also a lot of pitch shifting whatnots. Pretty dope. Yeah good
album, not as good as The Wall, but pretty good. It's pretty much equivalent to 24.2. In fact they're pretty
similar albums now that I think about it.

before getting into this. The description states that this was recorded from August to December of 2020.
During that time (after November when the last first era RINGEX PLASTER albums were released) Roxy said she
was taking a break from music for a while, but I guess she was still busy recording this. Also busy giving me
a bonus track for the Homophonics CDr. Also apparently 25, 26, and 27 have been being worked on for a WHILE.
Anyways, time to listen. Probably a meme album, which could actually mean it's really great, the first taste
of 1.1 shit in a long time. And sure enough... first minute in and I'm pretty sure that's what it is. First
few seconds of track one were pretty funny, then it just kinda turned into a shitty harsh noise wall for a
while, felt longer than it should've been for an album that definitely should be very spastic and ADHD.
Second is a loop of some gansta rap song idk that gets a progressively heavier delay effect applied over the
course of 6 minutes. Not very good, and definitely shouldn't be the second track. Each of these tracks are
pretty disappointing actually. Track 3 starts out with some more dense stuff but after like a minute, it's an
unedited clip of some four year old reading a book he wrote (which was actually pretty funny) on top of some
Nanocyborg Uberholocaust type thing. First half of track 4 is some slowed down thing, not very good either.
Second half though is interesting. It's like a weird loop of something that sounds straight off of 12.2, and
it actually sounds really nice. Goes through some weird glitches and stuff, and I think a half speed is
layered underneath it, but I can't really tell. The album's seeming to be pretty disappointing right now
though, a shame because the first few seconds actually hooked me quite a bit. Ooh, at 14 and a half minutes,
the loop just cuts off into silence. And it's just silent for the last two minutes I guess. With the
exception of a split-second glitch noise at the end. Track 5's weird in a bad way that doesn't really
resonate with me, I'm starting to remember why I hated the overly memey stuff. It's some "I Don't Like Candy
Corn" song with some effects on top of it, but they slowly change. Track 6 is interesting. I remember there
being something at the beginning but I totally forgot what (unless I'm remembering wrong) and the rest is
Roxy singing a single note like 4 times layered over each other and just droning forever (like
Cheer-Accident's Desert Song!). I actually like track 8, a higher register drone (it might actually be a few
unchanging sine waves layered over each other but I can't really tell). Track 10's pretty faithful to it's
title, relatively aimless plunderphonics. Mostly small clips of audio being played with absolutely no
relation to each other. Doesn't sound like RINGEX PLASTER at all, maybe a bit more similar to Men In Grey or
some of id m theft able's worse work, I'm not really sure how to describe it. It's lacking in purpose, which
I guess it never really had THAT much, but idk it just doesn't sound that great. It is quite a bit more
aurally interesting than everything else on the album though, actually does manage to retain my attention for
a while. Hey, she sampled Autechre's F7. Alright, this track's actually starting to grow on me by the end, I
think I like this one. First half of track 11's pretty uneventful, second half is pretty good. And now, the
last 50 minute track. Starts with some pretty interesting and cool glitch stuff, then turns into what I think
is a slowed down and compressed clip of some TV show or something for a while. Why is the Super Mario Bros.
Wii music in there? I feel like there's a song down there, it's just pretty much impossible to hear cause
it's all underwater. Thomas the Train. Then after a while it's quiet garble. Ooh, at 20 minutes is a super
nice glitch section. Woah I just discovered something. This track has unique artwork! Black square! Also a
unique description that basically captured my thoughts on this to a scary degree: "I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED
WITH THE FAILURE THE ORIGINAL SOUND OF MY ENDING IS LOST FOR GOOD AND I HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF. I
HAD MULTIPLE CHANCES TO PRESERVE IT AND I JUST LET IT SLIP. IT'S TIMES LIKE THESE THAT MAKE ME WONDER IF IT
MIGHT BE TIME TO QUIT THE MUSIC BUSINESS. BUT THEN I REMEMBER HOW MUCH BETTER THAN YOU I AM. "WAS THIS REALLY
QORTH SHARING WITH THE CLASS?". GET OFFLINE. I'M DISPLEASED TO SEE YOU. Y U DO DIS TO ME. [excess spam] nvm
all that it grew on me lol". Pretty funny. Oh, also track 11 has info. Oh wait, you can see which tracks have
unique things because if you hover over them it says "info". That's pretty dope. (Oh wait, info means they
just have a unique description, there's no indicator of unique track art). Then there's white noise for like
10 minutes. Throughout the entire second half of this piece is various extensive drones, a lot of which are
soft modifications on white noise. It would be interesting on its own, but in context of the whole album, it
really cements this thing as a directionless mess that felt like a chore to get through rather than a
positive listening experience. Although I did like some specific moments on a few of the tracks.

Michael. Saturday, December 11th. Since I was last here, I was listening to some of /f's
Fluke Archive. That's gonna be the next album on my long albums list, 21 and a half hours. It's actually a
really entertaining length of time. Anyways, track 1 on this thing is a slowed down Toy Story clip. Second
track sounds really weird, a lofi slowed down thing that skips around a few times. At the last minute I
finally realized that this is Everything's Coming Up Spring. I don't know if it's actually been edited past
the simple slowdown. Track 3 also sounds like a slowdown, but it's real ambient and cinematic so I can't
really tell what it is. Maybe Sigur Ros, idk. During the second half there's a nother really weird effect
added where it's got super reverb but also a compressor and a limiter, so it sounds all skittery like the
elseq tracks. Track 4 is some track that I don't know, but it seems like it skips around a bit. Also near the
end there's silence with quiet static. Yeah this album sucks. And it's making me afraid that RINGEX
PLASTER might never be as good as it was because it's not Roxy's main anymore. Last track is at least
actually interesting. Very short portion of Abba's Dancing Queen slowed, looped, and with a delay and reverb
effect over it. About halfway through it changes to some other song that I don't recognize. Anyways, on its
own, the album shouldn't be actively annoying enough to be so low as to get into the bottom tier, but it's
just really fucking bad and definitely one of RINGEX's worst. While the music itself is fine to listen to I
guess, it's a total chore to get through. Its existence is more annoying than the music itself. The next album
seems promising from the premise alone though. All I can hope for is some insane 1.1 action but I don't know
if we'll ever get that again.

Well, this one looks real promising. Let's find out I guess. Every track has a different
artwork (well they all have the same art as each other, but it's a different one than the main one. Basically
the Paula Abdul fractal but with a different background. First track is pretty much just a YouTube Poop, it's
replicated really well, sorta sounds like christtt's ytpdeath. Second track is a super cool loop of some song
that I know but don't know the name of, sometimes interrupted by something. This actually has some nice
plunderphonics mash in it, although it can feel a little directionless at times. But it's YTP type stuff! The
My Little Pony samples are especially jarring, but it works. Oddly enough MLP is pretty nostalgic for me even
though I don't particularly like the show. My sister used to watch it all the time though so I just remember
it being on all the time. Track 4 is entirely a slowed down Christian song. And track 5 gives me the 1.1
energy I was hoping for this whole time!!! Impressive plunderphonics, shitty memes that actively annoy me,
jamming parts. Discord ringtone over Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows (jesus I forgot how much I hate
that song). Then it turns into raw data for a while, awesome. With some sound effects in the background too.
Then a weird segment about if I were to make video game titles porn titles and it's so fucking terrible that
it's actually hilarious, I love it. Also some weird sounds added on top of that. Then Jacob Satorious
Sweatshirt! Its been a long time since the leafyishere era wow.
Alright, it's Thursday December 16th, I finally got a banking account (let's go look at me now
dad) and
finally paid my tribute to RINGEX PLASTER and the discography is now in my bandcamp collection. Relistening
to track 5 because I didn't finish it last time I was here (a few days ago). Anyways, with the purchase of
this discography, there's a few bonuses. I finally get to hear the elusive "Birthday Girl" on 12.1. Once the
whole discography is finished, I'll make an odds and ends section where I review every rare RINGEX PLASTER
track. This will include the collab with ghosmint, the comp appearance on Nodal Architecture, the 20 minute
Soundcloud set, the CD bonus on the EMCD version of Homophonics, and any more I can find.
Anyways, talking about the album again. Funny part in track 5 where Roxy has to address the
audience
through text to speech about how the mashup of a trans song and What's New Scooby Doo isn't meant to be
offensive. I wonder if someone said something about it before it was uploaded. Then there's a segment where
there's a clip of like 70 different pop songs that all say "Tonight" which is odd cause someone recently
asked me how many songs I can think of that center around that word, but I could only think of like two. Sped
up Pigstep at the end. This track's actually amazing, I love it, a very entertaining 30 minutes, it was that
1.1 energy I was waiting for the whole time!! Track 6's an interesting mashup of some song that I don't
know and Hey There Delilah. For the first couple minutes, this track's an insane plunderphonics mashup with
some of the best segments on the album. Also a short segment of GarageBand loops I recognize. Also there's
a LOT of My Little Pony stuff throughout the entire album, which I don't have a problem with, it actually
adds to all the nostalgia. It's just that the album RIGHT after this is themed around My Little Pony
creepypasta, while this album on the surface has nothing to do with it. It was really obvious how much
Roxy was into the show at the time, I noticed she changed a lot of her pfps to Rainbow Dash for like a
week a little while ago. I gotta say, I wasn't originally feeling this album, but just a couple tracks
in, it gets amazing. Damnit, I lost the game. Anyways, albums over and it's great. Some 26 Mixes For
Cash samples, everything innit. It sounded pretty damn good by the end. Also I just watched the new
Spiderman No Way Home movie. I don't really know what opinions I have on it, I'm kinda tired. I'll rank
this.
1. What is this I dont even... - 28:50
A damn solid track, basically an outtake of 27.1, except sounding ultra-compressed. Very
dense too, a lot like the last track on 1.1 also.

Oh my gawsh, RINGEX PLASTER is SOOO close to being finished. This last release is old video
game creepypasta themed, and it hits with my particular nostalgia! A long time ago, I remember being terrified of
Luna Game cause the one picture was scary. That's about it. I watched it on this channel The Sticky Paddle with their
series Creepy Gaming. I can't recall how well the series holds up, but I liked it as an elementary schooler. Also
based Ben Drowned reference. Also the third release in a row that heavily features My Little Pony. Track one starts
with bitcrushed My Little Pony theme, then develops a bunch of weird bitcrushed samples. Then the whole thing is a
massive slowdown, bitcrush, reverb mess of a merriad of dense samples. Good I guess, nothing I haven't seen before.
The noises at around 15 minutes are super cool though. Track 2's a weird industrial track. It might be entirely
plundered christtt style, but I can't tell if it is or if it's actually original. Sounds good though. Ends with some
random skippy plunderphonics. Track 3 is insanely good. Starts with weird distorted maniacal laughing n shit, just
weird vocal samples n everything. Then there's this amazing orchestral ambient segment in the middle that goes on
for just as long as it has to and it's perfect. Fun fact, the end is neigh photo is the one that scared me to death
as an elementary schooler. Then it goes into this actually happy and upbeat section of plunderphonics for a while,
then an abrupt end and sounds (SOUNDS) and some glockenspiel and that's it. Pretty great. Track 4's awesome too.
Ends with a blown out pop song, Homophonics style. Last track is weird and minimal. Sorta an anticlimactic ending.
Overall, a fair mix of great tracks and mediocre tracks. Just a weird album that doesn't really feel like it
earns its right to exist.

This is it. The LAST RINGEX PLASTER release. For now. And it's a signalwave one that tells
the story of the Hub network!! Another My Little Pony reference!!! Also track 6 uses the same Pound Puppies sample as
one of the tracks on 27.1. Anyways, there's not really much for me to say about this one. It's decent, but nothing
special. Just as one day, Hub was there, and one day it just wasn't, but the programs kept going on and it was just
Discovery Family again (a lot like Nick Jr.'s Noggin). Funny hearing this after hearing probably the best samplewave
album of all time (the Japanese Weather Forecast one, you know the one). Was sorta interesting hearing the Hub
network evolve, but this release is just kinda void. So in that sense, the artwork is very fitting.
AANDDDD THAT'S IT. Except... I still need to get to the bonus tracks, so I guess we have to do
that. There will be ONE more entry! Until RINGEX PLASTER has another thing. Roxy has been doing a lot
of shit under 4 other aliases recently, to varying degrees of quality. I might get around to checking
a lot of that out at some point. I'm mainly interested in the Roxy Radclyffe stuff though. Also RINGEX
PLASTER out of obligation. It better not just be out of obligation, I'm excited to see where Roxy's
most prolific name goes.

The LAST step in our RINGEX PLASTER journey... for now. Until something new comes out or I
decide to listen to every other Roxy Radclyffe release... Looking at it, there's actually a lot less than I thought
there were, RINGEX makes up the bulk of her discography. Anyways, here's some random odds and ends that exist! First
we have track 2 on the nodal superstructure compilation. It's weird. Starts with these weird skippy voice clips that
are oddly high quality for RINGEX. But then after that, it turns into buzzes, then your fairly standard RINGEX
PLASTER track, although with less memes than usual. I say that, but then there's an edit of Boom Boom I Want You In
My Room. Ends with vaporwave, pretty good track, among something from 27.1. Anyways, onto the next one. Birthday girl
is a track that's EXCLUSIVE to the purchase of 12.1, one of the worst RINGEX albums in my opinion. From the artwork
though, I'm not sure if this track actually has anything to do with the album. Let's find out. Yeah, it's a two
minute reverb cavern. Nothing really that great. Alright, time for the ciervo del cielo tracks. I might just listen
to this album in whole actually, would be nice padding for my long albums list. Well, this is such a weird and
nothing album. It meanders so much, a total showcase of weird sounds without any real meaning, the first track is
incredbly boring and repetitive MIDI drums, sounds like some of the shit on early WTC. Jolt Fuck and Jolt Fuck 2 are
interesting though, massive plunderphonics capers. This album is very similar to fluke archive (which I've been
trying to get through lately, and I'm almost done!) except with a lot less direction in individual tracks. That's
probably why this has faded into the background a lot for me though, because it sounds so similar to an album I've
been purposefully having on while doing homework recently. Track 9 is really good even though quite repetitive,
feels like the exact CD skipping type of thing I've wanted for a while. Pretty much every ghosmint track on this
album is some ultrarepetitive skiparound of some sample. Track 12 is a skiparound of a dubstep track, with loops
that last multiple minutes before abruptly progressing in the track. The last tenth of it is interestingly ambient
though. Track 13 sounds a lot like id m theft able with its brilliant use of the microphone. Some of these tracks
are actually starting to sound pretty good, it's a very interesting mix between terrible monotonous tracks and
tracks that somehow work really well despite their repetitive nature (parts of track 12 were kinda both). Just as
this album was starting to get really mediocre again, track 27 comes in and is perfect. The exact type of CD
skipping thing I love (hey I said that earlier). Alright, finally at the next RINGEX PLASTER track. Starts with
distorted Fox News segment, brilliant. Maybe it's not Fox News, but it's about it or something. It's about Garth
Brooks I guess. It messes around with that clip for a long time actually. Then it does pretty much the same chorus
and speed distortions to a few samples like to be continued and 100 gecs and some other thing that I forgot now.
Not a very good track tbh, this album's very weird. Next track, 30, starts with this pretty interesting sample that
quickly turns into what sounds like bitcrushed Nanocyborg Uberholocaust. Then it remains like that until the next
track. So for a majority of the 11 minutes. The next track is sorta like a nice ambient distorted version of that
that glitches out a bunch. It's a cool soundscape. So track 30 is just kinda boring, and track 31 is like a better
version of it. Next track is just a slowdown. Full on Nanocyborg Uberholocaust style (except only 14 minutes). Oh
but fursona video segment for the last minute. Oh and it loops the deer fursona, presumably cause that's what
Roxy is. Track 33's a fairly stagnant bass drone, not really much there. A lot of these tracks are probably Bull
of Heaven inspired, doesn't seem like the most RINGEX PLASTER thing ever, except for that part of jolt fuck 2
she was in. This whole album is mostly filler lol. Next track is some slowed and ultrareverbed sample from some
show I think? Contains voices and sound effects. Don't really care enough to try and reverse them. It's
interesting for a little while, but not really that good. The last few minutes are a nice drone though.
Anyways, track 35. RINGEX PLASTER's half is kinda bad. Sounds like 15 minutes of Rocket League music with a
bit of noise at the very end. Then ghosmint's half kicks in, and it's much better. Messing around with this
loop of something that sounds pretty cool, then just some weird plunderphonics type stuff after it. Alright,
last track time! Also I've forgotten to mention, I got about halfway through this album before I went on
vacation, so now I'm listening to the rest of this while in Missouri. Didn't listen to it on the trip, cause
the trip was for good music only, but here I am bored right now. I got a Tascam DR-05x for Christmas (today is
Christmas btw) and it's totally gonna be used all over the place for MTS AIRMASS. This last track is some
MIDI stuff I think, the first segment's actually really cool but I think it's plundered from something so
whatever. Then hey! Bad Apple! I know this one! Very loud noise over it. Then Call Me Maybe with Japanese
text to speech as lyrics instead of the actual english lyrics. At least I think it's text to speech. And it
was played in full, with a bit of amplification (and maybe a slight slowdown but I can't really tell, nor do
I care to check). Some quiet speaking that I can't make out cause it's loud in here. Oh jeez this is a lot of
talking ghosmint. Alright, they're talking about track titles, or whoever's listening to this "crazy 4 hour
long thing" and that they could add however much more they want to the album and they're making it longer
and longer. Maybe it's too long, it's not that good. There's some great tracks, but this is definitely long
for the sake of being long. ANYWAYS that's over, gotta add it to my rateyourmusic long albums list real
quick. Now for the next item on our list: RINGEX's rockinfest2020 live set. I didn't know this existed for a
while until xerbie sent it to me one day. it's located right here on Soundcloud. Hey it's the text to
speech again! Hey, it's the RINGEX PLASTER vocal from the beginning of 3.1! Okay these are some really
weird samples, but this thing's damn entertaining. OOHH AUTECHRE TYPE BEATS LET'S GO. This is definitely
the best track out of all the odds and ends. Distorted All Star speedcore!!! Actual breaks!! This thing's
dope as flip! This is basically a 20 minute version of 1.2. A lot of speedy stuff and whatnot, but
longer segments (there's 20 tracks in exactly 20 minutes, so I'm guessing minute-length segments). Lol,
trap beat over Vordhosbn. Alright, this is a MUST LISTEN. Ooh, then a Christmas Jesus segment! Fitting
cause it's Christmas today! Then people gushing over terror kicks, this thing's amazing! Give us another
one! And... time for the last track. A track Roxy made for me while doing the CD box set version of
Homophonics, a bonus track since we still had room on Disc 4. She made this right after North American
Nightmare Club was released, while she was supposed to be taking a break from production but said she
was having too much fun making this. Got released the day after the Rockinfest set, hence it coming at
the end of the list. I think the only reason there aren't any more odds and ends after this is cause
she started using "Roxy Radclyffe" as her main. This track is a nice ambient drone, sounds a little
like Stars of the Lid actually. But with a lot more reverb. (Also a couple times it clips). Sounds
really nice though, it's not a stagnant drone or a simple reverb chamber (well it might be, but it
changes a lot and is quite melodic!) Can't tell if it's plundered or original composition, but
whatever, it sounds real nice. Not a must listen, but a very nice end to the series (saying that like
I'm NOT trying to sell the CDs, please buy them). Ends a bit abruptly.
So... What's next??? I guess we have to wait until 29.1. Or the Roxy Radclyffe album thats been hinted at for the
past year (see you in x amount of days). Last time I checked, there were only like 40 days left, and that was in
November. I think it comes out early January. Maybe late this month, but it's very close nonetheless! ALSO. I'm
gonna start an Aggretsuko blog based off an idea I stole from somebody in the Aggretsuko Discord server. I've been
obsessed with the show. Please help. It will be linked HERE. AND THAT IS IT. IT HAS BEEN
OVER A YEAR, BUT I AM DONE. RINGEX PLASTER IS FINISHED (actually don't tell anyone, I'm still
listening to the last couple minutes of bonus bravery, but the website won't go up until I'm
fully finished).

Holy mother flipping crap man, RINGEX PLASTER is back (again), this time I'm a few days late
(I knew about it since like the minute it came out, but I have had like zero time to get to this, thank you school).
Anyways, now I'm here, I wrote the past two sentences like a week ago? I don't fully remember, but today, it is
[FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18th, 2022] and now I'm gonna start listening to the first track (even though I'm not done with
AE_LIVE yet and would like to finish that, I have like 7 tracks left I think). Anyways this looks like a trequel to
the first two things from a while ago (which is actually a really cool direction to see the RINGEX PLASTER name go
in). It would be really cool to see just a hundred four hour albums that were all this full crazy shit. So starts
with a four on the floor kick pattern that's manipulated in the same Autechre, /f way it was in the other. It gets
into meme territory REALLY fast though and in about two minutes it plays that jacking off to anime song that was used
in that Geometry Dash level (why is everything in my life relating to Geometry Dash right now). Then after a little
while it devolves into this weird pattern of ticking clocks (at this point it's doing away with the 'woah crazy
insane Autechre sounds' deal and just devolving into old school RINGEX plunderphonics with a mix of /f in there). It
has this weird looping melody thing over distorted other thing AND Autechre sounds AND some voice that I can't tell
what it's saying? I haven't felt this sensory overload in so long, and it's both so welcome, and confuses me to
the point of almost having a headache and I am just having none of it right now. Maybe I should get some sleep.
It's overall less focused on technically impressive stuff and more focused on creating a generally psychedelic and
crazy atmosphere. So a lot more tangible samples this time around pretty much. I don't like it as much, I mean
it's good, but there's sort of a weirder more indie hip-hop direction Roxy's been going in lately that just
doesn't do much for me. I didn't like most of that new Roxy Radclyffe album either, d, it just didn't really do
anything for me aside from a couple avant-garde moments. And it's a weird thing with this album, while there's
still a little bit of Autechre-like percussion, it rarely develops into anything impressive (I mean I'm still
only on the first track) and the focus is primarily on the sample usage which is a lot more in the vaporwave
direction of things (IE Slowed down Wrecking Ball over unchanging Autechre percussion). About 40 minutes in, it's
these skittering slowed chops that reminds me a lot of that broken instrument segment in Bull of Heaven 210 (I
forgot which one that was, I think C). The abstract noise that is the last ten minutes of this track is actually
really cool and submerssive, especially the reverb-soaked clangs at around 50 minutes (these noise-ambient
tracks are also a staple of modern Roxy Radclyffe, as her new thing is making a thousand aliases under a
thousand different bandcamp accounts and making like four hour-long noise/ambient albums on each within the
span of a day or two each until the alias is permanently dropped.
Alright, time for this second track, let's go. Starts with like a warped record being played at the wrong RPM (is
what I think it
is at least, it's a song slowed down and at a warbly tempo) and it also has these bass scratches that loop around it,
giving a super foreboding atmosphere. Then this bangin drum loop comes in on top of it, and it proceeds to be
awesome. Then more country samples layer in, and I like this track more than the last one (although it hasn't
reached super amazing great yet). It goes through this whole phase of just total psychedelic absurdity (still not
TOO technically impressive, but whatever). The part pretty much exactly halfway through with this skittering beat
and euphoric ambience on top of distorted discussions about Twilight Sparkle is just MMMMMM this is what I was
looking for the whole time with this album!! This segment is absolutely amazing, glad we finally got there. The
whole time that beats going with the ambience, it's just trippy and euphoric as flip man. The interchanging
distorted speech samples on various topics create this whole signalwave type feel on top of it all it's absolutely
insane. It develops quite a bit, but it's a slow burn (as is customary with hour-long tracks I guess).
Third track, let's go. A much less interesting tropical house beat is the focus now. Still continuing the whole
signalwave thing though. I'm pretty sure I hear Aphex Twin's Lichen in there at 25 minutes. It takes a very long
time to develop, but it slowly sorta does. 25 minutes in, it's still tropical house and signalwave, but now there's
a lot more ambience and clashing of samples.
Track four on the other hand I need to restart because I totally forgot how it went (It's now Sunday the 20th
and I paused this track at around 40 minutes). Oh yeah, you start it and it just sounds like Oversteps, it's
amazing. We're talking that Autechre style of melody and totally reverb-dense caverns that it's just soaked in. Oh,
then we get some four on the floor. I do remember liking this track a lot though. OH YEAH I REMEMBER THIS NOW. At
some point it just turns to full dubstep but it's all like tangled (think Everywhere At The End Of Time Stage 4 or
5, but with dubstep samples instead). The first track I don't recognize, but I do remember I Can't Stop and Time
Leaper come in at some point. There actually is a lot of technically impressive mishmash done to this sorta
signalwave of dubstep. It's super interesting, I love this one, even with the four on the floor beat, it's such a
sensory overload that it's all sorta perfect. Oh I actually do recognize the one directly after I Can't Stop, but
don't remember what the name of it is at all. It's all that old school Agar.io YouTuber music, remember that shit?
Dude Agar.io was lit, bring that shit back man. About 45 minutes in the whole beat-centric thing dies down and it's
this chaotic swirl of some of the most technically impressive noise I've ever heard, it's like 50 timestretched and
pitchfucked things going on at once, but there's an amazingly dense series of automation on top of it as well. This
timestretch stuff is used absolutely amazingly too. It's just swirls upon swirls man. Then it plays some video I
think sped up for a little bit which leads into what I think is a crazy distorted version of the song from Duelo
Maestro (though I could be wrong because it's VERY distorted if it is that), then a voice, then a slow calm down
loop of some low noise as it fades to black (but then there's one more noise at the very end).
Last track, it's time, you know it, you love it. Starts with some low, bitcrushed clangs, and transitions into a
bit of harsh noise wall. That ends up transitioning into a bit of an ambient noise wall loop of some slightly
melodic and bitcrushed thing. It changes very slightly for a while. Basically the whole track is a noise track with
that thing slowly developing. For a while, it barely changes, then it adds more reverb, then for the entire second
half it's chaotic, constantly-changing noise. Again, real impressive stuff.
I think overall, this album was less fun to listen to than the other two of the same series. A lot of the
same sounds were drawn out to their absolute fullest capacity throughout the album and there were less parts I
personally identified with. While the later tracks certainly did have some amazing work put into them, the first
couple felt a little lackluster. This album will be going in the second tier, I forgot what I called it because I
call the tiers something different on every listening project and also have a different amount of tiers for some
stupid reason.

Of course this album has an ambient noise wall counterpart. But it's cool cause I like
ambient noise walls sometimes. Each track kinda segues into each other, these soundscapes aren't too different.
They're very quiet and wet (a lot of them sound like rain of some sort, especially track 3, although track 3's
arguably the most different one here because of its use of resonant frequencies). A bit more terrifying than the other
ones. Long. Not THAT interesting for the whole of it. The concept's getting run a bit thin tbh.

Oh shoot, new RINGEX PLASTER release. Writing this on Wednesday, July 13th 2022 (the day
after its release), but probably won't actually update the website for a WHILE cause I'm super busy and it's gonna
take a while to get through three releases. Also I want to finally get through re-reviewing 1.1. ALSO what the hell
is this? 30.0? Well I asked Roxy, all it means is that this album doesn't have a .2 counterpart. She says that's a
possibilty now. But, I figured a new RINGEX was coming after all the emails I got for new sololashsgrl releases.
Anyways, sorry if you're finally reading this in September. This is definitely a new strange third era of RINGEX
PLASTER. It's still a bit hard to determine whether these albums were planned from the beginning or not (I mean, Roxy
said there were a few that were, but it was a long time ago, that might've changed. Also I might be remembering
parts of it wrong. Idk, but I feel like there's gonna be another Bull of Heaven tribute before we reach RINGEX 100.
Track one for instance feels so strangely calm. Almost as if RINGEX PLASTER just should not sound this normal, I
mean it's not ALL that normal but like it still not really that sensory overload or anything. i mean, the
beginning sounds a lot like parts of the *newish* RINGEX albums (think 26-28), but then it's like some
vaporwave-esque stuff (but not like the kind of blowout shit that was 10.1, more of a calm atmosphere). Idk, you
just have to hear it to know what I'm talking about -- Oh and of course that ends right as the second track begins with
some harsh raw data noises followed by the fucking Happy Tree Friends copyright video with some ultra compressed
noise behind it, as well as a chaotic mash of a bunch of other shit. Okay, so this is an album about YouTube. The
album art makes a little more sense now. Third track is a pretty interesting take on a chiptune track. I really like
the central melody, but not sure if it's original or sampled. But, there's also this amount of chaos that builds up
in the background and sorta confuses itself with the main thing. It's pretty cool how you get lost in it while it
aimlessly progresses. The end with all the crazy effects on it is super cool. Track 4's actually an incredible
noise track, it does a lot of really impressive shit that sounds completely wack. Track 5 is really cool. It's
this short noise loop that keeps getting more things added on top of it (one of which I think is an extremely loud
camera sound effect) for 2 minutes. Then it cuts off, and the rest of it's just alright, I was kinda hoping for
that to be the entire 12 minutes tbh. Actually, nvm that ended up being pretty cool anyways. Except for that
annoying ending. Track 6 is a cool noise track, although sometimes it hurts the ears and gets a little boring.
But yeah, it's decent, not one of the better ones though. Track 7 sounds like an AI generated script through the
fucking annoying TikTok text to speech voice. In this context it actually works a little though. Also there's
this super strange slowed down guitar strumming in the background? This sorta has the same effect as a lot of id
m theft able tracks where the idea sounds utterly awful on paper but is actually executed amazingly, I love this.
Oh, then it turns into a cover of a pop song I forgot the name of plus some water streams. It's just an amazing
soundscape I think. Also, 32.0 just released. Now I have to actually wonder how I'm going to release these
reviews, because it might be a while before I actually get to getting to all of it. But I don't know, I'm gonna
try and speedrun these over the next few free days I have. We'll see how it goes I suppose. Track 8's a neat
little dark ambient track, although I suspect it's something slowed down Nanocyborg Uberholocaust style, but
with reverb this time. oh, but then it ends with an actual tangible song, plus some piano notes layered over.
Kinda cool, idk probably my least favorite on the album. Track 9 is some classing RINGEX PLASTER action. A
little bit of stochastic electronic drums, a few seconds of a One Direction song, some textured rain. Then, it
just turns into a LOT of that One Direction. Sometimes it's skipped around a little bit. This track's also not
that great. Ooh, then it's sped up Careless Whisper. That's the end. Second to last track, let's go. Oh, and
this one's quite interesting. Again, some classic RINGEX action here. A bit of slowed sown song which says "Are
they smoking? Or are they gay?" Not sure what it's sampled from but it's kinda funny. Then some trippy
ambient-ish thing. Then a really cool drums mashup of that song Cheerleader. Then some more heavy sample
flipping which is awesome. Then it turns into this loop I love of some song that's like "Would you hire me?" or
something idk what it is. LAST SONG. Half an hour!! Oh shoot, this is a cover of Why Don't We Do It In The
Little Deuce Coup? Awesome! This actually might be an edit of the cover featured on the Roxy Radclyffe album
that this was on. I think I can hear the vocals being cut out idk. Then after 5 minutes, it changes to something
else that I don't recognize. It's some sort of melody reversed. I said YouTube was probably a theme earlier,
but I think I take that back now, YouTube is WAY too loose of a theme to actually be important at all on this
(though tbh, it probably is. YouTube is a theme on a LOT of these albums. Hell, with Roxy's many aliases
nowadays, that actually might BE the sole remaining theme). Eventually these weird samples keep repeating over
a super trippy background, I think they have something to do with McDonald's. A lot of slowly progressising,
drawn out reversed segments. It's like this whole track was reversed or something. Wait a minute.This isn't the
McDonald's Japan DS Training Game music, is it? Holy shit, I think it might be... oh that makes this something
else. Why was Bull of Heaven at the beginning of this??? Well anyways, that track was actually pretty boring
up until the very end where I realized what the music was from. I think. Eh, this album felt a lot more like
a compilation than something with any actual direction. no discernable theme. I guess the album artwork
represents that pretty well, since Time Magazine in 2006 couldn't be assed to actually have to choose a
person of the year. Not sure if the mid quality of this album is supposed to be representative of that
though. It's alright, it's good even, just nothing that memorable compared to all the other RINGEX albums. I
kinda wish Roxy got back to focusing on RINGEX PLASTER rather than all of the other aliases. With the amount
of ambient noise wall that's churned out over her hundred other names and all the high effort music being
self-titled, RINGEX PLASTER now just seems like an afterthought. I'm afraid from hereon out, things will just
kinda be mediocre.

4. Tears lighthearted Snare Mom The rhythm that came to us to teach the Our hearts are still strong enough. It

Another interesting change to the rules, this .1 album has an alias other than "RINGEX
PLASTER" as the artist name: "RINGEX CLASSROOM", a trend previously reserved only for .2 EPs while their .1
counterparts would always simply be listed under "RINGEX PLASTER". I really love the album artwork for this though,
even if it's definitely AI generated. Just love the use of rainbows on it. This title's also probably AI generated
lol. It would be funny if all of these track titles were as well. But anyways, first track starts with this strange
chiptune thing that's compressed and also has its tempo frantically changing. I like it quite a bit. And then some of
the intstruments progressively change. Not fully sure how to describe this one, but it's empty in a really nice way.
I love this opening so much. Really that track is a lot of screwing with MIDI, but idk, it's done really well. Oh,
track 2 continues it. I actually didn't even notice the transition. Track 2 is quite literally just a continuation
of the first track. It actually has a couple sound effects laced in there, but yeah. Track 3's a completely new
pattern, but it's still mostly screwing around with MIDI (this time with a couple field recording sound effects!)
Alright, with as much as I loved the opening track, this is starting to get super boring. By the fourth track, it's
just annoying. This album gets so old so fast.
1. READY FOR THE EXPLANATION? - 12:59
2. Music Theory in 16 Minutes - 16:01
This one also has awesome album art! The first song is random notes on a MIDI synth. It's
pretty bad not going to lie. Second track is more of that, but with a different synth sound. This one's just boring
as hell.
1. Alwaysbody - 45:00
2. Dishonesty - 45:00
I thought this might be more of the ambient noise wall Roxy's been doing for a while now.
This was actually pretty impressive noise though, so many crazy sounds. It really does go on a massive journey, this
thing's absolutely insane to listen through. This door squeaking sound effect is super unnerving. Especially how
it'll be close to silent for a while, then just kinda jumpscare you and send chills down your spine. These aren't the
kinda noises you expect to come out of something with this album art. There was a little while where I was convinced
that the second track was just the first track, but in reverse. Which is not true, since it doesn't do that
extremely long creaking segment. The ending of this is terrifying. Really this whole thing is. In between long
sprawls of high quality bleeps and warbly things, there's these utterly horrifying intense moments that make this
unassuming, but uncanny album on a surface level even more unforgiving and uncompromising. Then it just kinda
abruptly cuts off.

It might finally be over. These might finally be the last two RINGEX PLASTER albums ever.
Currently, I'm listening to all of Bull of Heaven 118 just to try and see if I can (yeah, my opinons on music as a
whole have MASSIVELY changed since I started this listening project a couple years ago, now I'm a big fan of Bull of
Heaven. This listening project was actually insanely fun, thank you Roxy),
also I like the drone
(well maybe
this drone is going on too long, but it doesn't end until ten days in). Also gonna be working on my college
applications while listening to these (scary). Anyhow, let's begin. First track starts out super strange, a bunch of
higher-pitched sci-fi computer bleeps and some ethereal pads. Not exactly the RINGEX PLASTER I was expecting but
sure. It implies that this and the last track were made back in 2020. 7 minutes in, it seems like these are the
contents of the entire track. Eventually the sci-fi bleeps fade out and it's just the ethereal pads. I do like them
though. And then they come back in, but a lot slower. Track 2 is a robot voice explaining the difference between
two audio descriptors. It probably isn't, but it feels targetted. Track 3 feels like a sound-collage self-parody.
Some stock MIDI drumset sounds, some stock ass sound effect screaming, some random songs thrown in there. I
totally missed the transition from 3 to 5. Track 5's a pretty decent plunderphonics one though. It was fading
pretty well into the background until Bound 2 surprised me. Alright now its been a while and I'm coming back to
this in the middle of a school day (Wednesday, October 19th). Restarting track 5. I do really want to finish all
these listening projects I've started by the time high school's over. I'm also on the third section of 118 now, so
that's cool. This section lasts a couple days to my knowledge, but I'm liking it the most out of the first three.
A very calming sound (ambient noise wall I guess you could call it). Anyhow, this RINGEX track is more
plunderphonics (by which I mean a clever use of stretched out samples and ambient samples on top of the
traditional plunder shit). It sounds pretty cool I suppose. It has a pretty psychedelic
atmosphere too. Hey, it's that Bound 2 I mentioned earlier. Now that it's October, idk, it feels much more like
that time of year where I do all of my listening projects, and what with Nanocyborg releasing a new album, I
think it's time to try and update all of these. I need to finish this listening project (listening to these last
two albums and RElistening to 1.1), need to massively update WTC (a LOT of albums since I was last there),
update Tsundere Violence (just one new small compilation, should be simple), finish id m theft able (that'll be
the longer one). Now that I'm paying more attention to it, this is actually a pretty damn good plunderphonics
track. It's nice and chill. It's chaotic, but somehow feels like it follows somewhat of a backing rhythm?
Track 6 has a similar vibe to Nanocyborg Uberholocaust (Not that it's really slowed down, mostly the low bitrate
shit, I don't know, there's just some similar timbres in there). It's actually a pretty
cool track to get lost in. Maybe it's something played in Flash? Track 7 has the same timbre, but with a
rhythmically repetitive sample of somebody saying "I Don't Want Your Baby" or something like that it's kinda
hard to understand. Track 8 is sorta the same, but this time screwing with a different sample. Very weird that
these three tracks in a row kinda sound like extentions of the same session. Track 9 is a loop of some stock
song. Same timbre still. I swear there's some like echo filter or reverb or something on another layer? Or
maybe that's part of the original track, but regardless, that ambience track just sounds really nice behind
the whole thing, love how it loops back. Simple, but great. Track 10 is an ugly mash of sound that I don't
really like. Last track's a vaporwave track, but it ends up being pretty nice anyways.
1. You Thought - 54:03
Here it is... the LAST EVER RINGEX PLASTER RELEASE (to my knowledge -- EDIT: just asked Roxy
for confirmation, RINGEX PLASTER is done). And it is a dissonant chord held down for the duration of the track.
Fitting. It actually does go through some very minor changes (IE panning, some variability caused by low bitrate).
Apparently RINGEX PLASTER will have a spiritual successor alias soon... so I may or may not listen to that. I also
may or may not try to get through the *rest* of Roxy's work, but some of that is just hard (especially Anime break TV
Receptor). There's also just been a LOT of recent ambient-fuckery that more-or-less sounds the same that I don't
care for too much (think Dishonesty Alwaysbody). I should probably write an essay about this, but it's 11:01 PM and
I need to get some sleep. Plus there's one more thing I have to do to REALLY complete RINGEX PLASTER (and that is do
a re-review of 1.1).
