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.
