Re: Third World Noise

African Imperial Wizard is pretty great.

You’re going to get in trouble for that thread title BTW.

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD

I've been looking for distortion or fuzz that makes my RD-8 drum machine sound absolutly horrible but no luck so far. Happy to take any recommendations. I've tried Proco Rat and Digitech Death Metal & Carcosa. The other thought might be to add an EQ pedal after your distortion to mess with the ...

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD

Electro Lobotomy will periodically bring back their designs to their shop. So even if it’s not available now, it (or something similar) will probably be available again sooner or later. The guy who runs it is really friendly and professional, so if you’re interested, you could do a lot worse than co...

Re: Forgotten noises from the entrails of the vault

I recently found out about a group called Hunting Lodge, from Michigan in the early '80s - great noisy / industrial / tribal stuff. 1983's "Will" and 1984's "Nomad Souls" have been on high rotation for the last few weeks. Hunting Lodge really are extraordinary. Especially so giv...

Re: New Forum, Same Noise

A question: am I complete idiot for not figuring out how to get an external link posted on the Forum to open in a new window? Opening in the same window seems to be built into the standard phpBB coding. I’m sure if I played around with it long enough I could come up with something but the easiest s...

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD

DOD Carcosa is def one of the best newer distortion circuits I've heard, cheap too. Fender have a new line of cheap pedals coming up this year: https://www.guitarworld.com/news/fender-hammertone Wonder if these will offer anything that the even cheaper Joyo etc. Chinese pedals don't. Theyre priced ...

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD

Coming back to the SP-404, does anyone else have problems with it clicking when playing loops? If so do you have any tips on how to get around it? This same problem used to do my head in. All the workarounds suggested byMiseryEngine ought to work. Also, the new 404 seems better suited to dealing wi...

Re: Dislikes and instant turnoffs

I do not know the work of Bizarre Uproar, I have a feeling I saw them in London with Pain Nail, Grunt, Testicle Hazard, AntiChildLeague, Con-Dom and Testicle Hazard many moons ago (there were that many bands that night, I couldn't remember who was who). Not gonna lie — I probably would have given m...

Re: Dislikes and instant turnoffs

[but i would challenge any of these people to come live in USA where cops regularly kill people in the street and in their own homes for no reason, it's not cool and brutal and transgressive, fascism is NORMATIVE and reinforces capitalism always. But these people don’t live in the US. It wouldn’t m...

Re: Dislikes and instant turnoffs

Regarding the topic for this thread, yeah most types of porn, either as audio samples or part of background visuals, do seem pretty boring, embarrassing and done to death to me. It seems too easy and obvious. Obviously just my own humble opinion. Although I’m sure someone could pull it off if they h...

Re: Dislikes and instant turnoffs

Not to sure why this thread exists and I think your comments are a little misguided on Grunt. Mikko Aspa's Grunt have been at the forefront of Suomi Noise for the good part of nearly 30 years. Grunt are a highly respected project, a root in the 'power electronics / noise' tree. Grunt is a calling /...

Re: Advice for a newbie

yeah, and I used to do it a ton myself. I'm actively trying (and encouraging others to try, ESPECIALLY people who are new to live performance) to accept praise, accept that even if I had issues someone else enjoyed what I did, and I don't need to rain on their parade. If they ask if I was happy wit...

Re: Advice for a newbie

one last thing about live performance: nobody but you knows what it's supposed to sound like. So if something goes wrong, we as the audience won't know unless you tell us... and you aren't REQUIRED to tell us! If your set isn't up to your standards, and someone comes up and says "I really like...

Re: Contemporary Classical / Ambient Classical / etc

Does Alan Hovhaness count, I wonder? His Celestial Gate symphony is among the most beautiful and serene music I’ve ever heard. Sure, I like the more radical 20th Cen stuff too, that sounds like a gang of burglars stumbling around a Classical instrument store in the dark. Xenakis, Feldman etc. I’ve o...
