OP's comment about Boris collabs made me realize that I think the only time I really enjoy that band is when they are in cahoots with Merzbow. I am not sure what it is, but he elevates a higher power out of them that normal records do not have. In a similar vein, he got Full of Hell to write some of their best songs for their collaboration, which I think set a fire under that band's ass that still burns to this day.
Looks like there's no mention of the Smegma collaborations that Helicopter reissued on here. I think Plays was pretty phenomenal.
When I saw Boris live last year, it seems that they might have learned from this. The vocalist had a full-on noise set-up that he brought out through (if I remember correctly) most of the show.
