Actually, I think it's kinda cool, but I know jack shit about it. Really nothing.
I've seen that crowd in the Lower Deck - Unicorn Love and thought it was deadly. I also have a couple of the Merzbow/Boris stuffs but after that...NOWT.
So what are the essential albums or better yet,what releases would make good 'ins' for the ignorant?
Thanks! |

Quite a vague question, kinda like where to start with metal. What kind of thing are you after, like guitar-based things, digital music, free/improv stuff, academic, scummy monged filth etc. And does it have to be noisey noise, or would more prickly minimalism sorta stuff work?
For a good broad overview though, I'd recommend any of the following:
John Wiese - Black Magic Pond (scalpel-sharp, ultra detailed walls of pure suffocation. Massively psychedelic and total overload from start to finish. Incredible.)
Merzbow - 1933 / Pulse Demon / Merzbuddha (nice varied overview of his stuff, from jagged analogue trauma through to smooth, dubby digital noise)
Prurient - Black Vase (like the rawest, filthiest punk ever played only using feedback, massively distorted vocals and drunk tribal drumming. WAY more psychedelic and inventive than it sounds. No matter how low down you turn it, it'll still wake the neighbours)
Joe Colley - Waste of Songs (more low-level, ultra-controlled noise minimalism. The sounds of circuit boards eating themselves in a wet industrial factory)
Whitehouse - Asceticists 2006 (african tribal drumming meets wild digital overload - a pure brain melt)
Consumer Electronics - Nobody's Ugly (solo project from Philip Best of Whitehouse. Imagine Medieval choral music played by a tower of top-of-the-range laptops slowly collapsing in on themselves. A Side is probably one of the most beautiful pieces of noise ever recorded)
The New Blockaders - Das Zerstoren, Zum Gebaren (live at ATP 2006. Detailed minimalism meets roaring, free metal destruction. A beaut - perfect marriage between sinister trauma and blissed out ecstacy)
Skullflower - get them all!
Sunroof! - Cloudz (imagine Can remixing Fennesz with a gorgeous, hiccuping silver sheen, then post-produced by Fourtet. Incredible)
Haswell & Hecker - Blackest Ever Black (bizarre polyrhythmic otherworldly action produced using one of Iannis Xenakis's old synths which converts images into sounds. Photos of porn, 9/11, madrid bombings etc turned into something you couldn't begin to imagine)
Coil - Live 1 (features the Industrial Use of Semen... ep, with a wild version of Queens of the Circulating Library - beyond tranced out - one of my favourite noise-related releases ever, but not strictly noise at all. Totally otherworldly, and will stop time dead when it's on)
That'll get you started. |

Hey,thanks for the detailed reply! Cheers.
I guess it's the electronic manipulation stuff. I'm as green as can be with it, but quite curious.

early essential industrial /noise stuff i'd recommend; throbbing gristle(early,especially live recordings), whitehouse(everything), suicide(st album), nurse with wound(soliloquay for lilith)
power electronics style stuff-sutcliffe jugend(not mad on earlier stuff but their newer output is very good), grunt (no true crime/porno shock factor cliche bullshit,very good stuff), con-dom(all),prurient(newer output)
more modern noise- kevin drumm(fucking amazing,everythings worth listening too), smell and quim, wolf eyes(dread and rotten tropics), labels that do this type of thing that are good=chocolate monk,hanson records,at war with false noise
sightings first two records are a great example of a rock band approaching noise, also to live and shave in la
if you're into black metal wold are like a direct cross between that and power electronics style noise, also gnaw their tongues are good but more on black metal side of things
drone/psych-esque related stuff-skullflower, smegma, double leopards, taj mahal travellers, hafler trio, birchville cat motel, black boned angel |

I'll second Grunt. It's also the guy behind Northern Heritage/Clandestine Blaze.
Also from Finland is BIZARRE UPROAR

yuss.
Finland is a hotbed of harsh noise and experimental delight. As well as Grunt (and Mikko's other projects Nicole 12, Clinic of Torture, etc) and BU there's the likes of Gelsomina,Haare, Cloama, Squamata..
Also, INCAPACITANTS from Japan are amazing, only gotten into them recently but glad I did.
I'm also quite taken with BLUE SABBATH BLACK CHEER at the moment. Terrifying. |

Can't recommend Mr Drumm enough either. Sheer Hellish Miasma is an absolute destroyer of a record, and quite 'metal' in a power/noise kinda way. Definately pick that one up. And Land of Lurches on Hanson is also mindblowing, but a bit more drone-based.
Daniel Menche has some great stuff too - Concussions is killer, all punishing psychedelic polyrhythmic percussion chaos - total brain bleed stuff. Bleeding Heavens is probably the best of his more modern stuff though - very detailed, minimal, slowly shifting organ and trumpet processing, but you'd never know the source instruments like. Gorgeous. Collaboration with Kevin Drumm is suprisingly meh. |
