I'm not a completist. My status as a historian is based simply on my being older than you young pups. And I try to be silly as possible at all times. I love this record. I've even played it out. Maybe you just have to be from the Midwestern USA (home of WaxTrax and Drop Bass) but there's always room for crazy noise, and "Industrial Folk Songs" is a prime example of brilliant crazy noise. I wouldn't listen to it all the time, or play it for naptime at a preschool, but it's a record that really can get your blood moving, and if you give it some careful intention, the beauty encapsulated in the ugly noise comes through. There's always been a thread of this sort of industrial bangfest in IDM. "Mr. Angry" by Muziq? The scream track on Analogue Bubblebath IV? The Jega/Spatula split on Planet Mu. Good art disturbs rather than reassures. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

If you like the 'ear bleed' bit in 'ear bleed techno' then 'Industrial Folk Songs' is definitely one for you, way OTT and smacks one hell of a punch on the ears, great stuff... it came out round about the time when Aphex used those sanding discs as part of his DJ set appropriately enuff...

For more modern examples of horrendous noise records I can recommend V/Vm's recent compilation AuralOffleWaffle... Which has a whole bunch of sandpaper distortion filth noise scrape fests mixed in with pop hits, Agadoo, anyone? Plus a track with the fabulous name 'A Song for Europe' Which only means something to people who also know who Terry Wogan is, but still. Also Speedranch and Jansky noise's mix CD Welcome to execrate is frankly terrifying at times. Can't think why I like this stuff, but I can blame a radio show called Difficult Listening on WMUA out of Amherst, MA for introducing it to me. I started off not being able to get through 10- minutes of the show, and soon found myself wanting more after it was over. Is it extremist masochism? Or am I just reacting after 4 months driving round America in a car with a girl who could only listen to Soul Hits 1950-1975. Anyway I'm sure there are noise afficianados out there who know a lot more about the modern scene than me. February in London sees Noise Girl and Jansky Noise playing at the Garage. We shall see. I'll also recommend the Split Series on FatCat - they've just put a CD out with selected tracks from the first 8 sides, lots of different people represented. Sides 19&20 came out on Monday, Kid606 and Christophe de Babylon. Babylon goes for some serious jungle beats - very hardcore indeed. The kid fits in some extremely intricate noise manipulations, multitextured and full of depth. Sorry for waffling on, this is just whats exciting me right now. Sorry also if its all been discussed in the last few months, I've been off list for a while (see aforementioned car journey). CheersAndrewC. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

If you want noise, check out the Japanese/American Noise Treaty on Release records. lovely package, but the cds will fuck your shit right up indeed. One cd is all Japanese noise artists, the other is American. Andrew Cowper wrote:
