Eh, I'm no noise fan but I'm starting to see how it is enjoyable.

He appealed to me more than most Merzbow, but it still didn't quite make it. I'm really curious what the top 2009 albums are going to be for I Hate Music people, they are too far out there for me but I find their taste fascinatin. A ton of them called Graham Lambkin's The Breadwinner a masterpiece, and I don't even understand why somebody would listen to it. It's not even aggressive like Merzbow, it's just a collage of a bunch of sounds from his apartment...
Personally, I can't consider anything produced by a musical instrument to be "noise", unless it's pure feedback, even if it can't be written down onto sheet music. |
Haven't even heard of that one.

You must be. Sorry to say, but what just sounds like a recording of computer-generated static just isn't my cup of tea. |
I wasn't sure what to make of it for the first couple listens, but there is definitely an art to it. It's not randomly generated, I would imagine.

Wasn't there some band that had frequencies that actually damaged your hearing? They were so high that you couldn't hear them, and they were really loud. This is just a dim memory from reading the RIO Room or something long ago, I'm reasonably certain it wasn't Merzbow.

OK, I'll finish off 1930. After that it's Western Culture.

It will make Western Culture sound like Mozart in comparison.  I think I'm starting to like Merzbow, just a little bit.

Yeah, it definately wasn't Merzbow, otherwise I would have remembered it. I will probably never remember who it was. Aapalsar (I think) shrugged it off as not that big a deal, because the guy himself has not gone deaf yet. But he listens to Kevin Drumm, so what does he know? :P

It's scary, being able to say that you enjoyed a noise album. I would even say I enjoy it more than some prog. The disastrous end of "Moonchild" for instance.

Anything you tell me to listen to, it will probably sound like the best music ever after listening to Merzbow.
