Boxsets you would like to happen?

There are things, that indeed benefit from box format. I can't think any sense of TG live boxes to be stand alone CD's. Same for Hijokaidan The Noise 30xCD box. Would anyone buy 30 individual CD's, especially if it takes literally at least 3 times more space in shelves than it does now. Just two obvious examples.

Boxsets I would personally like to see and hear would be: WE SPIT ON THEIR GRAVES, JOURNEY INTO PAIN compilation series on compact disc, SEXORAMA on compact disc. Totally and absolutely box-set material!

I would basically just repeat two requests from further back in the thread:

A box of Servile Ghost releases (perhaps a tape box in the style of the Floga Records recent reissues of various metal bands like Cannibal Corpse, Necromantia etc), or possibly just a CD box like VOD's Broken Flag one.

Complete Psy Phalanx set (may not actually need an entire box, though).

Not sure I agree with that much of the criticism against box sets. It's a special type of format, which is perfect if you have a certain relationship towards a project - i.e. a wish to delve deep into it, without going out hunting for single releases. I would probably not have bothered with Ultra since there are aspects of that project that don't quite interest me. Still, I was very happy to get Delirious Elaborations, and have listened to it several times. I do agree that the format has something in common with doing a large download of a single band's releases back in the days of Napster/AudioGalaxy, but in all honesty I probably wouldn't even bother listening to some torrent or mp3 mass download these days. Box sets have artwork, which can be great if done by the right person, even if it may be reduced compared to the original releases. Also there's the whole physical dimension which I am not ashamed to say I find important.

I love vinyl but for boxes I prefer CD or tape. Reissues of tapes, like a lot of the VOD-boxes, need a lot of editing to get everything on the 24/25 minutes sides. Also, It's too much of a hassle to find the time to listed to these huge boxes. Listened once or twice to the ones I own. 3LP boxes are okay but 4 or more, it's too much for me. Like stated above; for some artists the work becomes stronger when presented as a whole but for some artists I prefer to listen to the separate releases within their own context. Reproduction of the original artwork is not a must for me but any revised artwork should be in the same spirit as the original. Also, the box should be presented as a cohesive release in presentation and sound which in a lot of cases means a compromise in artwork and mastering.

There was a homemader box set a long time ago, but I think it was limited to something like 5 or 10 copies and made with trial software that left beeps/artifacts in the CDR burns.  With the releases of LHD's Even Still and In Mono, we gotta have it.

Hermit.  I've been surprised by Hermit not having a greater footprint in the reissue realm.  Would love to see a box set.  Maybe Mr.Boros isn't interested?  I know there is a thread in progress on another board about Canadian noise and experimentalism, and I don't believe Hermit/Eric Boros/Manufractured is mentioned once.

Good call. Hermit's material was fairly unique in the late 90s noise field. I have a number of releases from him that have gotten a lot of play over the years. Solid,structured noisescapes with eerie undercurrents. Would love to see that material collected in some fashion.

a major collection with side-projects included would be worth every penny... but hard to judge how many people would feel similar...

couldnt agree more, love this project

A Genocide Organ - Archives CD boxset would be nice!

Definitely! I was surprised that they released the recent 7"s collected as those were more easily available. I hope the Archive series gets the same treatment one day!

I'd love a box of Beast 666 Tapes comps and Hitomi Arimoto's work in general, can't find any of that stuff anymore but I love that label, those compilations, and Arimoto just seems like a unique and almost forgotten artistic and curatorial talent. Sorry if someone already mentioned this but I can't go back 17 pages haha

I think I mentioned it, and agree  100%!
