NOISE RELATED RANDOM TALK TOPIC

Lucrative as means of generating income, hardly so, but meaningful in many ways!

[Balor/SS1535]

Been collecting Bastard Noise for a few to several months and was finally able to go through Eric himself in May and June. I like the aspect that most my MITB/BN collection is a high percentage of vinyl. Compared to other artists in my collection is CD, CDr or cassette percentage wise. I have been on a winning spree for the past couple years of not purchasing mundane noise. All is great and interesting. Bizarre Uproar/Filth & Violence, and now Bastard Noise. All of it is far from the mundane.

I also understand there's been connection between Aspa, Markkula and Wood since 90s along with a few others. I think of 90s word of mouth or was it something else connecting them internationally? I don't want to mislead with misinformation. More of wanting to ask how.

Also  Eric Wood wins my award of the most unwarped records I have ever received in the mail!

Eric certainly loves his vinyl, and he has only the highest expectations for quality.  I was sent a copy of the recent Bastard Noise/+Dog+ collaboration lp, and that has to be the heaviest record that I own---it seems almost twice as thick as most other records in my collection!  He has also used the same vinyl mastering services used by the likes of Tupac and other very big bands.

I think he is very generous as well. Interesting enough while my PayPal is overdrafted, I have been doing email/money order sales with him. I definitely am impressed with his offerings. One money order $125 and another money order $80 and I got a plethora of history of his work and his current work. Along with some patch and sticker goodies. It's a pleasure to see how everything is high quality and no short cuts. Very pleased!

Yeah, getting a 2lp of the Merzbow collab from a few years back for $20 was (and still is) a great deal!  The stickers and patches are just a great bonus.

that is fantastic! I am wondering if you mean the one on Relapse Records? Retribution By All Other Creatures? I got that from Relapse themselves. The 2xLP, CD and shirt associated with the album. I just sent him enough to hopefully get Our Earth's Blood IV 5xCD and hopefully the shirt I requested. Hope this purchase goes smoothly. Email/Money Order purchases are cool and I'm glad he's open to it.

Yes, that is the one!  I picked up the 5CD from him in person last time I saw one of his shows---good stuff as well!  I really appreciate the idea of a massive set of collaborations, and the sheer quantity of artists he works with throughout the set produces quite of range of sounds as a result.

though it is marketed as a collaborative effort I have also seen mixed information from Google that it's a split. From start to finish I think it's amazing either way. ABSOLUTELY brutal.

Our Earth's Blood IV 5xCD I'm sure will delight me in a very busy day. I have the Our Earth's Blood V 7-in and that's collaboration of the Japanese Sound Masters. I had that spinning all yesterday evening. Today's spinning is Live At St. Vitus Bar. One more listening before bed. I get trapped in multiple listenings. Often times I designate a set of releases for the day or just one.

It's definitely not a split---each track is a collaboration with a different project, which come from all over the world: https://www.discogs.com/release/1712673-Bastard-Noise-Our-Earths-Blood-IV?srsltid=AfmBOoq5U_m4S7DjvnW2GrWC2BSHxaQw-EsvpB8h-9A7I7xB6yFO5Ppr

The Finnish collaboration CD is also great, if you are in the mood for more Bastard Noise combining his efforts with others!

Was Talking about Retribution By All Other Creatures my friend. I have seen a couple takes that it is a split or a complete collaboration. It is marketed as a collaborative effort.

ha---My reading comprehension is at it's finest, I guess.  That one is definitely a collaboration.  From what I recall Eric telling me (and probably also in the liner notes on the release) is that both projects contributed to each track.

Please excuse the "lame" or "goody two shoes" nature of the question but this is something I've been wondering about for a while. Lots of PE artists sample audio from documentaries, news reports and similar sources. How do they deal with copyright? Sometimes I find the perfect soundbite but it's obviously not in the public domain. Do I just go for it anyway?

Please validate my criminal inclinations. Thanks.

Always and all ways.
