I've noticed Spotify actually has a great amount of noise/PE despite my initial assumption of a service like this not even slightly catering to the genre(s). I wanted to see if anyone else here is using it too for the specified purpose. There's a shit ton of Prurient on there (not surprised since everything is on Boomkat and otherwise) so I'm interested to know if you guys have any top-tier albums you could recommend that are available within the app. Sadly our lord and master Masami Akita is lacking in availability (weird) otherwise I'd be too busy going through everything I've yet to hear by him and have no time for what I'm asking for!

I can write only that you choose wrong place on listening music :) Maybe I am wrong but SPOTIFY isn't nice place for the most readers from SI forum :) At least I don't consider SPOTIFY (and similar services) as good place for searching interesting music.

It's not the best thing in the world, but I'm also on a trial and won't be paying for it unless I find it truly useful. There's nothing wrong with it - maybe it's "hip" or whatever, but the opinion of others on a piece of software being popular or not certainly isn't going to sway me in a direction where I won't at least see what it's all about. And so far it has enough relevant noise artists that it seems there should be at least someone who is interested in using it for the genre. I'm all for paying for physical releases (you can't beat holding something) but it's nice to be able to check out classics seamlessly and at one's own will.
It depends on the label. Tesco has been putting a good deal of their back catalog on there.

Don't have Spotify myself so cannot be too sure, but doesn't Beläten have also some stuff available there?

Actually Merzbow is extremely well represented, since there are around 50 releases by him on Spotify. But I think their availability may depend on what region you're in (I'm in Sweden btw). Also Daniel Menche and Prurient have huge portions of their respective discographies in there. Other artists that have many albums include Illusion Of Safety, Z'ev, Beequeen, NON, Contrastate, and Nurse With Wound. If you want to explore the early electronic pioneers (Henry, Xenakis, Cage, Stockhausen, etc etc) or the minimalists (Reilly, Conrad, Reich, Charlemagne Palestine) or general oddballs (Moondog, Sun Ra, Harry Partch) you can go on for weeks.
That Spotify is useless for the experimental music fiend is an uniformed misconception.

and pretty much everything hospital has put out.
tons more too.
I listened to Maximum Punishment Solutions by Thorofon and most of Leichenlinie by Genocide Organ on Spotify yesterday. The sound quality wasn't very good but then I didn't expect it to be either. Seeing how much interesting music is on it, I think it's a great source for discovering new music, nothing more, nothing less: if I like something, I'll buy it in physical format and if I don't, I saved money by not having bought the physical format and didn't waste time trying to find a downloadable version on the net.
I'm not sure about the mechanics of how the deals between Spotify and labels go down but personally, I'd love to see more noise available via that particular outlet. Sometimes it's just too difficult to shell out enough cash to purchase each and every album that you'd like to own at the exact moment when it comes out and downloading mp3s often feels like stealing from both the label and the artist. Listening to music on Spotify is a fair alternative - I get to listen to the album and the label still receives some cash. Plus it works really well on mobile devices which is also pretty cool and opens up some nice possibilities like not having to carry a stack of CDs to play in your car stereo and/or not having to rip CDs to load mp3s on your music device.

Many many artists/bands/performers have Bandcamps now though, is it necessary for them to be on Spotify also? Maybe Bandcamp could do with a Spotify-style UI that is also optimised for mobile devices but at least you know that you're listening or downloading with the artist's consent.
I'd never thought to look for noise/related on Spotify, always assumed I'd be wasting my time. May have to check it out.

Well it's obviously not necessary although Bandcamp and Spotify are quite different in the sense that Bandcamp is a website and Spotify is a streaming service that you can access through dedicated software available on many platforms (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS etc.). As far as I know, getting your music on Spotify is a much more bothersome process which is actually a good thing - more quality content in comparison to Bandcamp.
physical records > spotify
Cynical me: Another "hip" way of listening to (corrupted?) music for free and/or low price only? How fascinating!
Well that's a pretty limited perception but I'm also wondering what makes a piece of software 'hip'. Are there any criteria a certain app has to meet in order to qualify as such? It's just a program, nothing more. Back in the late 90s and early 00s everyone I knew used Winamp, was it also hip (ie. fashionable/trendy)? And what about WinRar? Are there any peer groups in the entire world which require you to use Spotify in order to fit in?
It's pretty obvious that digital media in no way compares to physical albums but that shouldn't be the case.
Sorry but I perceive such opinions as coming from a very narrow perspective.
Listened to the latest Control album from Spotify previously. It must have been some lousy convert thing or whatever but it did not sound quite right. I haven't got the cd release (if I had... why bother listening it from Spotify anyway) so I cannot compare them. Bandwiths and other technical issues should be no problem (oh yes, I am the paying customer... foolish me), but I do have a gut feeling that Spotify is not necessarily the best option for listening to noise at all.
Even if you're a subscriber, the streaming quality is only 320 kbps. I've also encountered technical issues at times with Spotify (dropouts, some tracks wouldn't play), so quality-wise it's far from listening to a physical format. What it's great for though in my opinion is that you can conveniently and instantly discover a lot of new stuff for a ridiculously low monthly fee. If you like something, you can then buy it in a physical format if you want to.
Indeed. For pre-listening purpose it works fine. But it is still funny that some bars, clubs and dj's use Spotify or some other online service for music playing purpose. Well, in crowded bar you can't tell the difference or be interested in sound quality at all. Those drop outs you mentioned are really pain in the ass. I get them every now and then when listening via mobile phone. OK, this went out of topic a little bit but I am still happy to see surprisingly much noise oriented stuff in Spotify.
Got this installed 2 years ago but 9/10 things that i wanted to hear weren't there. I'll stick to my vinyl/cd's..
Plenty of Posh Isolation releases has been uploaded to Spotify. Not many rarities but decent amount of their bigger releases. Search label:"posh isolation".

Exactly my point. I get to listen to headphones at work. I have taken my walkman and a bag of tapes. but it is far easier just to load some music on a devise that carries piles digital music I have. I get to check out neglected stuff that I wouldn't always play at home that way. Plus that is how I listen to most cds. I burn them in and take with me.
I'm very simple here. not looking for arguing.>>> I think I have the misconception most folks into music(s) on this forum all have piles of music at home.
my bad.
to each his own. hey I am glad the artists (I hope) are getting little bits of money from this. Maybe enough to replace a broken pedal. or whatever.
I'm all for listening. Everyone take care. this shit hole world tries to segregate us. fuck that. support each other and don't be arrogant. I am happy for every artist that gets the recognition to be on one of these types of 'services' ...truly.
Spotify costs 5€ per month. That is ok price for being able to listen a lots of music while at work. I don't have time to rip my records to mp3's nor time to seek blogs through. Spotify does not have everything there, but enough for 8 hours a day. Rest I'll listen at home.
figured this is a topic worth reexamining. had an account for a little over a year now. Tesco, Hospital & Cold Spring offer many of their albums/comps. Muslimgauze has healthy selection of discography. the ethno-ambient topic has also yielded some amazing finds. what else am i missing?
props to this thread for teaching me the label:"search" feature. (ie label:"Hospital Productions" in search bar.)
I don't have an account but my wife has a premium and I'm constantly fucking her algorithm by previewing records I'm debating buying and there's a pretty good selection of stuff on there.
I could just as easily use bandcamp to trial stuff but I have that google home audio thing and can blast stuff through my stereo, in my kitchen, etc. I've already hit the new Puce Mary a few times, there's a shockingly large selection of Iron Lung Records releases including that Mutant Video LP I like so much and have already bought, however I don't usually spent my time searching for obscurities, I typically go for whatever mood I'm in. Most of the time that's 70's Genesis when I'm too lazy to flip an LP....

Apparently the beastly new TEF album is on Spotify and amazon and all that?
It looks like Emeralds recently uploaded some rare or out-of-print material:
Glass Ceiling cs
Planetarium cs
No More Spirits Over the Lake CDr
Fresh Air 7"
Emeralds (*self-titled 2009 album)
Allegories of Allergies (*This release is a remastered "hybrid" release that has the tracklisting of the original Gods of Tundra cassette but with shorter lengths similar to those on the Weird Forest LP version.)
I've always been a big Emeralds fan and tracked down MOST of these releases but it's really nice to have some of them available digitally. Wondering why all of a sudden they bothered with new uploads. Anyone have any insight?
Steve Hauschildt posted on FB:
Finally! After a few years of trying to get this together- my old band Emeralds has a new bandcamp that will be going live tomorrow. This first phase will consist of 8 releases from the back catalog, many of which have been remastered including unreleased live recordings (and some unreleased limited vinyl, preorder TBA tmrw). There will be more remastered albums added in the near future as well so be sure to follow the official page here for all of the latest updates.
There is also the Imaginary Softwoods reissue on Amethyst Sunset.
