Gary Smith / Silvia Kastel / Ninni Morgia - Brand
(Effectively) Control Unit making an epileptic and delirious free country space jazz noise here alongside Gary Smith (of Aufgehoben amongst other things).
LP released on Ultramarine in 2012. There is a Brand II LP that was released on L'Esprit De L'Escalier in 2013 that I have never heard and would seriously love to dive into. Any help appreciated and all that ...

Control Unit - Burn
... and now a noise-rock maelstrom where Silvia leaves nothing unexpressed.
I've never heard the Modern Duets flexi, the Complay tape or the OTO Live CDr (please help me out with that) but the rest of Control Unit's catalogue is commercially available in eithe physical or digital formats. Seek and ye shall find ... I recommend that you do.
C30 released on Fort Evil Fruit in 2014.

Control Unit - Steel Tape
In the intervening period there was some quite beautiful creative destruction that happened in the world of Control Unit and they metamorphosed into this armour plated feedback drenched noise butterfly.
C40 that has four tracks that repeat either side. Delivered courtesy of Jim's delicious Fusty Cunt in 2012.

Ninni Morgia Control Unit - Ninni Morgia Control Unit
"Control Unit is the work of guitarist Ninni Morgia and the wonderfully forthright chanteuse and musique manipulateuse Silvia Kastel. It’s like Catherine Deneuve dumped two cases of post-Repulsion psychiatric notes over Pere Ubu’s Dub Housing, lit the fuse and, ahem, stood well back" Julian Cope, Vinyl of The Month, Head Heritage, June 2012. Can't improve that as an introduction.
However, that would come later. This initial release has Jeff Arnal on drums and the legendary Daniel Carter on trumpet, clarinet and occasional vocals whilst Silvia is handling the mixing. It's a very enjoyable romp through constrained free-jazz psychedelics ... similar to the more ferocious Japanese exponents but with one hand still on the steering wheel.
Double LP released on Ultramarine in 2009.

K2 & The Haters - Noise Tournament Vol. 1
... and is there a better to finish and start than with a doff to GX's 40th anniversary of (brain) circuitry frying?
7" jointly released on Kinky Musik Institute and Banned Production in 1994.

K2 & De Fabriek - Noise Tournament Vol. 2
I'm not sure that The Factory got the way that this series was supposed to roll so generally KMI didn't get that much of a mention in the pressing ... but no harm done.
7" jointly released on Kinky Musik Institute and De Fabriek Records in 1995.

K2 with RLW - Noise Tournament Vol. 3
... and now it's Ralf Wehowsky (P16.D4, etc.). Name me a better series of singles. Not different. Better.

K2 with Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck - Noise Tournament Vol. 4
You are familiar with the script but this flips it end over end. Pairing these two is properly mind expanding. Kusafuka Kimihide reworking Rudolf Eb.er is akin to the best noise reworking of a Roadrunner cartoon working as an instructional amateur dentistry spank fantasy. The reverse is better. Totally dissected and reassembled lunacy genius. The whole event is utterly deviant and completely sublime.
7" jointly released on Kinky Musik Institute and Banned Production in 1997.

K2 with Aube - Noise Tournament Vol. 5
Self-explanatory and essential.

K2 with prime British noise-filth, what could possibly go wrong?

K2 with Hands To - Noise Tournament Vol. 7
The last of the Tournament series where one gets to work with the source material of the other ... this time around it's Jeph Jerman.

K2 - Variation: Pianoise
The first track is called "Piano For Sadists" ... that will give you a clue where this is headed.

K2 - Iron Kulture
7" released on Patrick O'Neil's Self Abuse Records in 1996. There were some copies of this bundled in with the Destruction For Model Citizens tape (that I have never heard ... please help out with that if you can!).

K2 - Renal Ekonomix
When I first started with this very brief little blogging lark (who knew?), I started off doing discog style posts and it quickly became clear that it was a bad idea and was effectively just a link dump. Those links have been dead for a very very long time so I am going to gradually plunder some of those as I'm assuming some of it will be new to some people. It won't be new to Caligari because he/she has been with us for practically the entire journey. Saluti!
Anyway ...
7" released on Praxis Dr. Bearmann in 1996.

Various - Moonlanding Vol. 1 / 2
The Haters, Zipper Spy, John Wiese, Cory Ronnau, Spastic Colon, Aube, MSBR, Bastard Noise and Thurston Moore.
7" released on John Wiese's Helicopter in 2000.
Vol. 1 / 2
The prevailing narrative is one of human progression ... not everyone entirely shares that point of view. Maybe they should all just be sent back where they came from.
