I've been listening to noise for close to 20 years now and although there's a lot of dross out there (I mean, anyone can hook up a distortion pedal to an out-of-tune AM station) there's a wealth of compositions that reward dedicated listening...

To the uniniated a lot of it sounds the same (although that can be said for any genre - pop, hip-hop, jazz etc..) but to me a well realized noise piece isn't just random chaos - it's an composition so thick with information that one can find great beauty in the standing harmonics, sub-level beats etc...

My reccomendations:

Japanoise -

* Merzbow - the great grandaddy of 'Japanoise'. He's released *way* too much stuff to even get into that but I would recommend 'Pulse Demon' and 'Heavy Metal Man'.

* Masonna - more pastel in nature than the above but along the same lines.

* Borbetomagnus - more 'rock' if you can call it that

West Coast Noise

* Haters - G.X. Juppiter-Larsen's project which encompasses all sorts of art prankery, He once did a performance where he got the word "nothing" tattooed repeatedly on his arm - the needle held no ink. The audio consisted of him manipulating the sounds of the tattoo gun at ear-splitting volumes. he also released a great LP called "wind licked dirt' which was a blank vinyl 12" and a bag of dirt. The listener rubbed the record with the dirt and the resulting scratches were the Haters playing live for you (and yes, this was later re-released on CD due to high demand)

*blackhumour - This gent uses only the sound of the human voice. No overdubs, no looping, just stacking. My personal fave is 'Peace in our Time' which is the sounds of various people having orgasms.

* Crash Worship/ADRV - The most accessible - rhythmic, tribal lovefest ma-a-a-n As close to hippie as noise gets.

Midwest

* Wolf Eyes - sonic brilliance - I'll leave it at that as words fail me to describe their majesty.

* Prurient - Harsh drone coupled with infrasound. Good when the acid's wearing off..

* UK

* Whitehouse - A lot of folks don't seem to get the joke here - Sub-sub-bass frequencies and tympanic membrane shattering high end with brutal, misogynitic/pedeophilac lyrics on top. Again, brutal and wonderful. Check out 'Cream of the Second Coming' or 'Wriggle Like a ****ing Eel' and enjoy!

* Throbbing Gristle - old school. if you haven't heard 'em then I recommend starting off with '2nd Annual Report' - stay far, far away from the 'greatest Hits' LP. It dissapoints.

* Foetus -(aka Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel, Foetus Over Frisco, You've Got Foetus on Your Breath, Foetus Art Terrorism etc...) - The solo work of one J.G. Thirwell - imagine big band, smashing metal, classical, cartoon themes, somnambulism soundtracks and you might just be scratching the surface. You may have heard his recent work as composer for the cartoon 'The Venture Bros." but dig deep and check out 'HOLE' and 'Nail' for the real fun.

Ya know - there's tons more out there but gosh I'm tired of typing.

Anyone here listen to AMM's AMMMusic? Made in the late 1960s probably one of the earliest examples of noise. It's unnerving, amelodic, random, and brilliant as ****:
