Back in the day, when I started this topic, originally at the Troniks/Chondritic forum, there was attempt by others to do Canon of noise -type of thing. It did not work out. While power electronics has a history, landmark releases, and such, noise is way more messy. Basically you can list few historically groundbreaking early albums, but after that, noise is far more scattered and local. Like in those days, you got the americans who knew only their local thing happening at the time. You got europeans who had no access to releases sold at shows. You got artists with such a massive discographies that it creates problem. Like what REALLY is the best Masonna? Or what Macronympha is remarkable and best? If you drop name, it is most likely first thing you heard or one of handful titles you have heard. But might not be THE best. Like best of Ramirez?
The closer we come with list, its hard to say is it just currently interesting thing that gets quickly forgotten or something strong in terms of meaning and long lasting impact or merely even quality I rarely have thought about: Sustaining culture.
I rarely thought about element of artists or labels etc, who may not be originators, may not be someone who came up with revolutionarily new angle, but they were "sustaining the spirit", so to say. Without such thing, expression could have died or the lineage would be broken and that new expressions of it seem more like meme, some sort of mimicry.
From few messages up, I do think Himukalt is indeed very well qualified as notable artist, Puce Mary "the spiral" as well. There is element to not only being good, but pushing expression into new arenas so to say.
If talking about The Top 100 Noise albums according to SI, it could look quite close to what Roemer did back in the day. Good list, full of his own stuff. Excellent.
