Noise

For anyone interested in real noise, here's my top bands...


Yellow Swans

I like what i hear from these guys.

[Scrotum Scissor]

some might say 5UU and Merzbow are noise. But I prefer things more subtle too most of the time.

Thomas Dimuzio was an integral contributor on the 5UU's Hunger's Teeth and Crisis in Clay from '94 and '97, respectively - and they are definitely not noise but rather some of the most definingly (avant-)progressive in rock of that decade. His *SOLO* stuff, however (of which there is a lot more, as he's primarily an audio Laboratory wizard) counts works that border pretty closely on more advanced contemporary noise music.

Jamie Muir, percussion

Think I've mentioned this before, but I like the Eraserhead soundtrack without the voices.

I don't think the vocals detract from it's unique atmosphere, but then again, maybe that's just me.

Stalaggh is pretty excellent:
