It should be something that makes your significant other refuse to have sex with you.

I was tempted to paste over a Merzbow discography to get us into the 300’s but that would have been cheating.

173. Merzbow - The Merzcedes (mythical car with one-off Merzbow CD in the stereo)

"Shinsen Na Clitoris" -- Masonna
"Testament" -- Massimo Toniutti (mondo weirdo Italiano sonoro)
"Sound From Hands" -- Massimo Toniutti
"Mechanical Sound Orchestra" -- Matt Heckert (recording of moise-generating machines/art installations that he's built)
"At The Factory, Manchester" -- Throbbing Gristle
"Sonicfuck USA" -- KK Null
"Repent" -- Charles Gayle
"Body Samples" -- Controlled Bleeding
"Flussdichte" -- Asmus Tietchens/David Lee Myers
"The Place Where The Black Stars Hang" -- Lustmord (not all noise is loud)
"Shouting at the Ground" -- Zoviet France (ditto)
"Corale" -- Luigi & Antonio Russolo (electronic noise from the 1920's!)
"Survival Research Laboratories" -- SRL (compilation of their "live" stuff; pretty silly distinction -- can you imagine them overdubbing?)
"Buda_Rom" -- Voice Crack/Gunter Muller

191. "Noise" -- a recording of nuclear bomb tests from the '40's and '50's, quite possibly the loudest sounds on earth unless there's a CD of earthquakes out there somewhere.
192. "Hilbert's Hotel" -- a 73-minute pipe organ chord
193. "The Nature of Nature" -- pretty much just an album-length electronic tone
194. "When We Focus on Nothing As Opposed to the Set or Subset of Infinite Events..." -- a DIFFERENT 70+ minute chord
195. "The Grandi Series (Ambient): Still Life #7" -- data on the CD, but your stereo won't make noise from it. But it's an album. Is it noise or not?
196. "Well Tempered Clavier" -- Bach excerpts played on a keyboard with drum patches programmed into the keys

Also the Hafler Trio:

197. "Mastery of Money"
198. "Kill The King"
199. "Play the Hafler Trio"

Not numbered/included due to lack of titular information:

-- The Christian Marclay records which were laid on a gallery floor and packaged up after crowds had walked on them repeatedly

-- Also, surely I can't be the only one blasted/curious/nerdy/perverse enough to have listened to stereo test records in the same fashion as "music", with no equipment testing going on, hence listeing to a sequence of pure tones and stereo pans.

Actually, all of JLIAT's discography (James Whitehead's) qualifies for this list, but if one devotes a career, as he has, to extreme noise, in my eyes it raises the bar for inclusion of only the most extreme example.

Back when computer programs came on cassette, I put some in my walkman. Totally mind-roasting.

Throbbing Gristle kicked off their second album with same, so why not

206) Throbbing Gristle 'D.O.A.'
207) K2 - Metaloplakia

Costes - Jap Jew
Christian Zanesi - Stop! l'Horizon
Christian Marclay - More Encores
Residents - Eskimo

scott, if you want more terrorgabba this is the one

hey, i wanna hear the new dead c! amd thanks for the spazzgabba tip, jess. nobody has mentioned any of that there digital hardcore yet, huh. hmmm, musta been a fad.( or in my case, i played them the week i bought them and then never played them again. great graphics though!)

232 - 237
Zeni Geva - Maximum Money Monster
Melvins - Lysol
Reynols - Blank Tapes
Alan Splet / David Lynch - Eraserhead soundtrack on Alternative Tentacles
Alan Silva Celestrial Communication Orchestra - double cd on BYG
Zygmunt Krause - Folk Music (Polish Radio Orchestra divide into small groups and play 20 folk tunes at the same time. It's on an LP from the Recommended series, plus pieces by Jaroslav Krcek and Georg Katzer)

The song "Noise Stop" is especially hilarious, but the whole album is great.

273. Bunnybrains-Live@Fireside Bowl Chicago,2002 CDR (not as mind-melting as the new haven set that i started this thread with, but damn near as screeeeeechtastic. the fidelity is oddly neither high nor low, but at some sickly mid-point that only adds to to the addled confusion. very to live and shaveish to these ears. you missed a good set at the knitting factory a couple weeks ago too! great cyber-violence with pillows and samplers and al b.sure records and dancing unwed mothers!)

this should be higher

286. Gum - 20 Years In Blue Movies and Yet to Fake an Orgasm lp
