1996 Lasse Marhaug debut CD "Science Fiction Room Service", which I have had since it came out. This is brilliant and somewhat unusual noise CD.
I recall Lasse has told somewhere, that he did not have mixer or such devices, so how early days material was done, was source tapes being played through couple boom boxes, in room, and DAT recorder recording it with lots of input gain. Balance of material adjusted, not with mixer slides, but how boom boxes were placed in a room.
I believe this CD is one done with such method, and can't really recall other albums I would have heard of, that are done like this. Sure, room recordings. Everybody does it. But is there more noise CD albums, where material is done with multiple boom boxes playing noise in room and "mixed" by placing these in suitable distance and desired volume, to create the harsh noise? I would also assume, that DAT players of the time, sometimes has so tasty distortion in their A/D process if you put enough gain. At least some of the Japanese artists, like Pain Jerk, sometimes mentioned that secret for his sharp and crystal clear ripping noise was all-on-red recording to DAT.
