This triple issue deals with three free download EP'S. The Amoeba - Gayest Shits (2009), Boris Clitoris Swastikat - Swastikore (2010), Boris Clitoris - Boris Clitoris (2012). Even with two different artist names the releases are in fact from the same artist and with the same style.
All of these albums are free downloads and good ones too. In total the three EP's combined clock just under 24 very entertaining minutes. A summary of the genres in the albums could be melodic breakcore comic metal lounge mashup. It's probably easier to just compare it straight out to Nero's Day At Disneyland but with some metal and psychedelic comics thrown in.
The first EP, Gayest shits feels like more effort was given to it than the latter ones. It sounds to have the biggest number of layers and versatility. It is also heaviest of the three, Boris Clitoris has seemingly developed its sound towards more melodic and minimalistic output. Funnily, even though the music sounds more minimalistic, on the newest release the melodies are possibly more complicated than before. Just take the bass line of Difficult Listening or the god-knows what instrument driven melodics of Hyena Clitoris from the S/T EP.
What separates Boris Clitoris from many electronic artists is the sheer quality and variety of melodies. There are for example 8-bit melodies (super nerd, Comic Sans), heavy melodic riffs (evil satan!, I'm An Alligator), odd distorted melodies (Swastikat, Mooie Man), some sort of progressive lounge (?) (Hyena clitoris, Difficult Listening), overly happy melodies with sound clips (Yellow is the color of the sun, Organ Grinder). Each song has a vibe of being an unique successful experiment, though every EP has the sort of trademark heavy tracks and overly melodic tracks. But the tracks are full of surprises, the heavy as shit riff may be suddenly entwined with a melody straight out of kindergarden, and as well the child's play may have a distorted ear-bleeding-beat. Or even the occasional noisewall. You never know whats in store, and that makes the experience immensely entertaining.
If I have to nitpick on something it would be the volume levels, through all albums the tracks have different volume levels, meaning the listener has to keep adjusting the volumes. Given the versatility of tracks it is no wonder that there are glitches like this. Also, maybe its the nostalgia-syndrome, but the output of Amoeba / Boris Clitoris has goon slightly downhill with every new release. While i'd rank Gayest shits near 10, Swastikat Swastikore is probably just under 9 and the self-titled a solid 8.

If you are into Venetian Snares or Nero's Day At Disneyland The Amoeba / Boris Clitoris is for you. And if you happen to like metal as well, all the better.
I could say all of the above all just summarize all in Boris Clitoris's words "Fucked up, epileptic, retarded, spastic, childish, bedroom produced, free to download music."
