Swill Radio of course. Scott Faust does the best reviews in the world besides Angela Sawyer. No competition!

"There was a brief period, circa 1981-84, when there were a variety of artists, loosely grouped around the Whitehouse/NWW/Experimental scene, that were dead set on creating a new musical vocabulary that had nothing to do with music of the past. When was the last time that happened? The music of these explorers not only had 'nothing to do with rock and roll', it had nothing to do with jazz or folk or dance music or any other kind. These days this sort of 'sound art' is much more common, but those were the days when the doors were opened." - from his review of an MB reissue - I think that's exactly right - you can trace the inspirations to things as different as Alvin Lucier and Tangerine Dream but that era really was very unique.

Well, I guess I count as Norwegian distro now:

Not a very wide selection like it used to be, but it will improve.

I suppose isn't very polite to toot one's own horn, but I would like to add Tordon Ljud to the list of active noise distributors.

It was launched around a month ago for Swedes and is now ready to be launched to a wider audience. Perhaps you might find something that is to your liking.

Thanks for your attention.

I must say I enjoy seeing a lot of new distros being established off late. This is a healthy and important sign for the continuing development of extreme music/art and the production of physical releases. With no - or rare funding opportunities for artists, this activity have as much an economical factor on the "scene" as being a channel for distributing artistic expression. Support the artists, invest in their products. Keep up the good work everybody.

Do noise labels actively trade their releases? Forgive me for sounding absolutely clueless but most of the noise labels (with the exception of RRR) I've met seem to be ran be disorganized people that just exist to complain about how they can't get shit done.

I started releasing Noise, PE, Electronic, Ambient, industrial/whatever music through my label (which mostly has for years done black metal) and want to be able to distribute it amongst labels that actually cater to those audiences rather then the metal crossover crowd however everywhere I go is either a dead end.

In short I have the audacity to actually produce releases that aren't "limited to 5 copies packaged with random refuse" but have no idea where the hell to distribute it too/promote.
