Cold Meat has good stuff, but beware the recurrence of cheese, long boring
songs, and occasional crappy production. I have a couple of CMI things
which only have one or two songs I enjoy. So. _and even wolves hid their
teeth ..._ is probably still available and is a pretty good overviewd. But
get the european version, not the jank american version I have which is all
fluffed up and less-evil for Americans. But, the Ordo Equilibrio track on
_wolves_ is extremely good (the version on their cd is different, and far
more retarded ... what gives?), the Karmanik song is actually kind of cool
in a funereal way. Hmm. Is anyone familiar with mz.412's stuff? I never
got any of their albums, and I've only heard one song, in mp3, which I
later heard described as "their black metal song." I forget the title, but
I gather it's the only one like that, and the rest is random noises and
digital clipping or something? Someone send me their thoughts on 'em.

This is just opinion vs. opinion, but I'd say keep your wallet far away
from Deutsch Nepal. In fact, I have !Comprendido! -- Time Stop! for sale
if anyone wants it. I've never understood the appeal; the music sounds
like repetative ambient pads that never go anywhere, no structure, and
overuse-to-death of dumb movie samples for minutes on end to make up for
the lack of good musical stuff. Oh well, now DSP is probably going to come
beat me up.
My recommendations would be Grey Wolves for warm, lo-fi death ambient with
a power 'lectronics lean at times, Archon Satani are cool in a 'muffled
noises banging around randomly' way, and maybe Caul for lush,
soundtrack-ish synthy spooky ambient. Gosh, now I miss being on the CMI
list and reading debates about nazi philosophies in whatever was the
popular soundscrape album of the moment. Ah, memories.
