A bit narrow-focused perhaps?
At the exact same time that old-school electro was kickin in the first half of the 80s (and much respect
to that as I am a big electro fan for sure),
you also had industrial rock (Neubauten), industrial noise (Merzbow), power-noise (Whitehouse),
and industrial-dance (Front 242). You had walls of guitar noise (Branca symphonies), shards of
guitar noise (the No Wave scene>Sonic Youth), improvised guitar noise (Elliott Sharp, Keith Rowe),
improvised saxophone noise (Borbetomagus), experimental electronic noise (Voice Crack),
concretist collage and cutup noise (P16D4, Nurse With Wound), shall I go on? And that was the 80s.
I have no patience for people who are still stuck in the prejudice of pro-melodic, anti-noise. This is
not 1984 anymore, this is 2005, we have worshiped the glitch, the noise scene has merged with metal
(Sunn) and punk (Melt Banana) and indie rock (Wolf Eyes) and techno (Pansonic), and even Public Enemy
has brought the noise. If you are still stuck in the 'I can't listen to it unless it's melodic' category, you
should be listening to the Echoes - oh wait, maybe even Robert Rich and Vidna Obmana still have
too much noise for you?
