Anyone here into Noise?
screw osmosis:
How about Merzbow? Any albums you would recommend from him?
Threatis:
I dont think I've heard a bad Merzbow album.
If thats any indication.
El Opium:
Well it depends what kind of noise you're looking for, something that'll strip paint? or something more subtle and creepy? I've not listened to that much Merzbow though. I go for (maybe) more subtle stuff. Here are a few of my favorite 'noise' artists and my fave albums by them.
Yellow Swans-Fairly rhthymic almost dancable noise, sometimes droning. Their 'Dreamed Yellow Swans' CD is perfect
Hair Police-Used to be spaz noise but they've moved on to extended dirges of terror. rattlers echo 3" CD-R is my fave, though the main track is on their new full length 'Constantly terrified which I'm waiting for in the mail.
Wolf Eyes-Vary between agressive and creepy my fave by them is Dread but I've not gotten Burned Mind yet.
Skullflower-More of a really heavy drone band.They're often credited as forebears to Sunn 0)).The album Obsidian Shaking Codex is unbeatable.
Mammal-Really good rhythmic noise crunch. My fave is his Fog Walkers LP but it's very out of print.Lately he's gotten harsher.
Gang Wizard-Technically a noise rock band but they'll kick the ass of a lot of straight noise bands too. Go too http://www.tapemountain.com for a free live album to download.
Other good noise-rock bands: Big Black, Sightings, Magik Markers, The dead C (I'm probably forgetting some).
I know lots of places to buy noise if there's a particular album you're looking for.
Jimbles!:
Merzbow, MZ.412, orken:ni, Whitehouse, Sunn O))), Folkstorm, etc. etc.

Pulse Demon if you want a cohesive yet difficult release.
1930 if you want something more fleshy than the rather thin-sounding drones or noise blasts that dominate much of his work.
Dharma if you would like a Merzbow album to have a hypnotic and meditative effect (though it will still be loud).
