be forewarned that autechre's new album in fact bears little to no semblance
to 99% of merzbow's material, and i personally don't even see much
similarity between tribes of neurot and the new ae. (i haven't heard current
value, so i can't compare)
merzbow is noise. in the truest sense. practically everything i have by
merzbow is ear-splitting feedback, overproduced, supersaturated waves of
sound. personally i really like it although i don't find myself putting it
on very regularly, or going out to purchase the new merzbow release of the
week. tribes of neurot have some things in common with the newer ae in its
roughest spots (like perhaps the last track, minus the bouncing ball),
albeit a more acoustically arranged group ("real" instruments). however, i
think it's a bit of a stretch as i found the new ae to be more ambient than
aggressive..... but then again i'm halfway glued to the first track ;-) i
may be off-base because the last tribes record i heard was the split with
walking time bombs some years ago...
in any case, i don't think that these artists are really very similar to the
new ae, so if you hate the new ae, you might still like them. or you might
hate them all. who knows? just be aware that when a merzbow release says
"EXTREME NOISE" on it, they're not exaggerating....
