Noise And The Beat

[jesusfaggotchrist]

see if this link works better

worked perfectly.  if i recall correctly, i believe the link I tried last evening was for a mobile browser or something.  anyway, about the track, full on!  don't you hate when you are trying to be quiet and you make a loud noise?!  my wife is coming off a twelve hour night shift and is laying down.  i didn't realize i had the volume turned up on the computer when the track started.  it was VERY loud.

I get in trouble with the guy downstairs, he's an old man and his staffing gets mad with me if my bass frequences loom too large. not to give too much away, but I live in kind of a halfway house/group home facility with individual apartments. it gets stiffling with the staff when 95% of them are hoodrats who don't seem to understand or give a fuck about my weird taste in music. I'm the only one here with internet access, it comes out of my paycheck.

back to topic sort of

Jeff Mills - Waveform Transmission Vol 1

Detroit Techno actually, but one of the hardest and unrelenting

And then there is ANT ZEN stuff, I think my fav out of that is Monokrom, which a noiser side project of Synapscape, though I can't remember much else. They do have a bandcamp now : http://ant-zen.bandcamp.com/

I think the original idea of Blackhouse was to play like whitehouse but with a drum machine, some of their tracks should be considered classics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_mkUgmd1Ho

That second Mills tracks is great. Wasn't aware of him, so thanks.

Contagious Orgasm & Government Alpha:

I remember people on Troniks shitting all over this album but you'll get no complaints from me.

Now that I'm onto Alberich, I'm revisiting the 90s in-between.  Anyone care to hit the best of Hands, Hymnen, and Ant-Zen?  I think I'm aware of most of the better early stuff, but if I missed anything, I'd like to know.

Time has certainly sorted out the ones I revisit vs those collecting dust.

Form the harsher side:

Iszoloscope
Morgenstern
Asche
Converter

Hymen sub label was a lot calmer but I frequently listen to:

Lusine Icl
L'Ombre
Starfish Pool

[NaturalOrthodoxy]

This is a useful thread, would have started my Alberich conversation here if I'd known!

[Soloman Tump]

Yep, thanks for the thread bump.
I come from a techno background and have been drawn towards the noise world so I will check out a load of the artists mentioned here.

Have been experimenting with techno locked grooves and looping samples from vinyl as a source sound for some noise I am working on. Hopefully have something to share too, am hoping it will make an interesting live project as I can't recall seeing (m)any noise artists using turntables.

andy vomit and Kayandah, could you throw some specific titles at me?  thanks.  some names there I've never seen.

[dubduboverlord]

Re: Ant Zen, Converter's Shock Front and Blast Furnace albums are very good. Like Morgenstern's Two Different Faces a lot. All the Asche and Vromb stuff is good but kinda splits the difference between chilly beatless ambient and rhythm-based material and I tend to favor the rhythmic stuff more.

Few years ago I started investigating this subgenre by going on Discogs and looking to see what comps Synapscape, Converter et al have appeared on and then branching out with other labels / groups from there. Couple places to start that helped me out a lot:

Daruma (Ant Zen)
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Daruma/master/1616

Duo.Tone (Sub.Session)
https://www.discogs.com/Various-DuoTone/release/190235

A.L.P.H.A. (Gesko Records)
https://www.discogs.com/Various-ALPHA/release/474384

Other potentially interesting groups:

Blastercorps (heavy Esplendor Geometrico vibes)
https://youtu.be/UA6Ql4MNLFE
https://youtu.be/cq_EJaWG-gw

Some of the early Xotox stuff is great, but there are deadly minefields in the catalog depending on your tolerance for EBM / Wax Trax style shenanigans:

Telerotor:

Early Hypnoskull is good. Evolved into kind of a limp take on ATR / digital hardcore sadly:

this is what i'd recommend from each artist, personally:

IMMINENT STARVATION "Nord" https://ant-zen.bandcamp.com/album/nord
SYNAPSCAPE "So What" https://ant-zen.bandcamp.com/album/so-what
ASCHE "Distorted Disco" https://ant-zen.bandcamp.com/album/distorted-disco

NKVD "Prolog" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB9QO8otZ4M
5f_55 "I" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy1nkT-8S5E
MONO  NO AWARE "Kika No Sekai" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU8vFC72ams

these are solid too:

LE MODERNISTE "Desistere Mortem Timere" https://lemoderniste.bandcamp.com/album/desistere-mortem-timere
CONVERTER "Blast Furnace" https://ant-zen.bandcamp.com/album/blast-furnace

my experiences in the squat/underground techno scene of the 1990's reminds me of many,  many
records that involve beats (180 plus bpm with many sounds not out of place on a merzbow/macronympha release.
other releases had samples of violent films that  any noise fan would love.

could be prompted to list stuff

[Soloman Tump]

Andy Vomit, thanks for reminding me about Ant Zen. Just bagged the latest Hypnoskull album and this is exactly the sort of noisy techno industrial stuff I am after.

beast album

[Zeno Marx]

Vromb - Jeux De Terre was another significant release when it came out.  I don't believe I've heard anything from the new millennia.  I only know the Asche/Morgenstern Ant-Zen split and the Asche - Non-Apocalypse album.  That split has always been underrated.  I thought there was another one from one of those two.  I remember it having a plain white cover, but I don't see anything like that at Discogs.  Anyone remember something similar?

Thanks for the lists.
