I've got a lot of down time at work today, so why not?

A few of my favorites, no particular order:

Wolf Vostell- Decollage Musik (proto-noise I suppose but still way weirder than you)

Fossils/Darksmith- Million Year Spree

Agog- Dust Is Their Food And Clay Their Meat

Yeast Culture- IYS

Aaron Dilloway- Modern Jester

Joseph Hammer/Jason Crumer- Show 'Em The Door

Small Cruel Party- Accident In Substance

Evil Moisture- Yerm Flowers

Hands To- Scrine

Very happy to se Vostell mentioned! Probably time to pull that one out for a spin.

Modern Jester definitely deserves a spot in any decent list of greats.

Curious about the Fossils/Darksmith.

[Tribe Tapes]

Agog- Dust Is Their Food And Clay Their Meat

Agog is an artist I can’t sing the praises of enough.

For the unaware, I would highly recommend the quoted release, and also the “Spagyric” compilation for a further look at his collaborators during the 1980s.

[Joie de la Blumpy]

Bryan Lewis Saunders - Near Death Experience

THIS!!!

The remarkable thing about this, is the way the backing sounds/music hold him back.

BTW, you missed an exclamation mark.

[Joie de la Blumpy]

Looks so boring, this list. Am I really that dull a person? Oh well… Some have meant alot to me over the years, some are fairly fresh to me but immediately struck me hard and deep.

METGUMBNERBONE - Ligeliahorn LP (a-mission, 1983)
THE HATERS - Future Cheers C60 (Sound Of Pig, 1986)
ERIC LUNDE / HANDS TO - Split LP (Complacency, 1989)
THE NEW BLOCKADERS - Simphonie In X Major LP (Hypnagogia, 1991)
ZONE NORD - LP (self-released, 1993)
INCAPACITANTS - Operorue CD (Kubitsuri Tapes, 1995)
MSBR - Intensification 10” (Praxis Dr Bearmann, 1995)
MACRONYMPHA - Baroque C46 (Less Than Zero, 1996)
SPECULUM FIGHT - Swimming Pool LP (Volvolo, 1996)
CRAWL UNIT - The Future In Reverse CD (Povertech, 1997)
TRERIKSRÖSET - Sexregler CS+CD (Hatband 2002, Chrondritic 2007)
PARANOID TIME - Ratlife 12” (Troniks, 2007)
KAKERLAK - Reproductive Activity Rhythms C30 (Self Abuse, 2009)
SEWER ELECTION - Vidöppna Sår LP (Pan, 2010)
ALTAR OF FLIES - Rabbit Hole LP (Järtecknet, 2013)
DANIEL RIZER - Contaminated Time LP (Skeleton Dust, 2016)
MNEM - Elyktrion LP (Verlautbarung, 2020)

Unimpeachable. Except for that one there in the middle. Still need to hear it.

[Joie de la Blumpy]

Swans - Public Castration Is A Good Idea
For nostalgic reasons. Since first hearing this I have found maybe better live recordings from 1986 tours of Swans but the total loudness of this is still impressive.

If someone were to make the claim that there actually were a better Swans recording, I'd have to ask them to step outside. Where a certain public spectacle awaits.

Macronympha - Amplified Humans
the first one I heard, still resonates with me the most

Mo*Te - Life in a peaceful new World
love the subtle tones buried under the endless barrage of noise

Merzbow - Age of 369 & CD1&3 of Metalvelodrome
Hijokaidan - Windom
Arv & Miljö - Orientering i denna Värld
Black Leather Jesus - Crossburnt
Aaron Dilloway - Medusa

[NihilBaxter]

The Rita - Sea Wolf Leviathan (Soilpsism, 2004)
Dynamic wall perfection.

Grunt - Seer Of Decay (Freak Animal, 2006)
Perfect mixture of noise, PE and industrial, builing an incredibly intense atmosphere.

Shredded Nerve - Acts Of Betrayal (Chondritic Sound, 2020)
Obscure, creeping and satisfyingly unsettling.

Rodger Stella & Scant - Third Phalanx (New Forces, 2016)
"Imagine a perfect one-second noise loop stretched out for 40 minutes, subjected to expert manipulation and increasing violence."

Herukrat - I Bear Witness (Total Black, 2014)
Atmospheric, aggressive and just a great mixture of all elements. Also one of the first noise/PE-records that totally blew me away with the first listen and still do every time.

Honorable mentions:

Exploring Jezebel – With Total Passion And Starvation... (Sexcrime Arts, 2010)
- First HNW that sucked me (pun intended) in completely and just left me speechless. Set and setting (=amount of edibles ;)) were just perfect. Good memories...

Breached Hull - Into The Black (Waterpower, 2012)
- Also one of my entry points into the world of noise, PE, etc. Eclectic, cinematic, great release overall.

Yeah, Agog is so so good. His sound kind of hits the bullseye for me, combining a lot of my favorite aspects of ‘80s and ‘90s noise and tape music. It would be nice to see some kind of box set of his hard to find cassette releases, I know there’s a lot I haven’t heard.

I was actually introduced to Agog via one of your playlists a few years back, so hey thanks!

Ahh cool, must've been one of those Difficult Listening...things.

He definitely nails the home taper sound, nobody does it like him. Yes, a boxset of some sort would be fantastic, most of those tapes are very rare. The packaging is insane on some, it couldn't be replicated, but a nice booklet with photos of the OGs would be sufficient.

There's a significant amount of unreleased material too, if I'm not mistaken. I hope it become available one day. The Agog/Zanstones/Brown tape Tribe put out last year is really good.

It’s the split LP on Kye, maybe from 2011? It was my introduction to both artists and a high point for each I think. Fossils mostly put out “live to tape” junk improv (which I also love), but their Kye releases have more of a composed feel. It was a big pressing (relatively speaking) and I believe it’s still widely available and cheap. I even see it in record stores occasionally.

Yes, it seems to be easy enough to get even now. Fossils were (are?) one of those groups I enjoyed just fine but the amount of stuff coming out was too much to stay anywhere near on top of and, being honest, could be hit or miss. As much as I have lots of time for prolific jammers who throw it all out there and leave it up to you to discern where the gold is, I often wonder what might happen if artists like that went the other direction and really honed in on just making one or two really brilliant things per year. What you describe here sounds like something I'd really like. I must grab one eventually.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre soundtrack. Don’t think there has ever been an official release, but the influence of Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell looms over just about everything we’re talking about here.

Damn. That's...pretty good.

It's the percussion in Public Castration that does it for me. So no capitulation. Sorry.

(still, must concede, le shit is fire. like, stick a thousand fucking knives in me.



walk away.)

[shrouded.in.antiquity]

Not sure about a complete list, but this release will always be one of my favorites. Both sides are great but the Paranoid Time side in particular is an example of perfect harsh noise for me.

In terms of pure talent and originality, Brume "Normal".

[raato]

venerology, probably. the first album that popped to mind and stuck on top even though i tried to think of more releases for a proper list.

it's been a while since i've listened to noise stuff in general, for a few years it's been mainly noisecore etc extreme music, so i haven't even listened to a lot of the releases mentioned here. need to dive back to the world of noise soon i think and get some new favourites...
