A first effort at re-presenting older, principally analog, materials in a lethargic, industrial-strength, murk.

Two Assistant Deputy Ministers - Damaged Thoughts [remix]

Yet another reworking of material culled from the I'm Not Dying In A Nightmare sessions. This is an ongoing work in progress which, with luck, will never see fruition.

All materials collected 2004-5

de-composite (TADM)

"Passive Luddite Aggression since 1992"

Two Assistant Deputy Ministers, 1994 - present.
Two Assistant Deputy Ministers make concrete computer music in an ill-placed effort to come to terms with their life-long demons. Yes, we have issues. Any resemblance to actual harsh noise, living or dead, is purely incidental.

Lustmerde, 1992 - 1994.
Before Two Assistant Deputy Ministers made concrete computer music, analog materials featured much more prominently in the final mix. The intent was to produce severely pitched ambient music which some might very well mistake for harsh noise. So be it.

Bloated Slutbag, 2002 - present.
Harsh lumbering power electronics, ambiance verite, and verbal abuse.
Primarily a live unit comprised of Kenny & Soddy, formed to help fill a perceived gap in the domestic Japanese market for dense sound explorations puncuated with extended haranguing of paying audience members.
