45. Fat - Hit

Guitars + drums + samplers and made with the help of the Borbetomagus fellers. Granted it's not a noise riot all the way through, but the opener is as powerful as any Last Exit.

48. Venetian Snares - Higgins Ultra Glue Funk Tracks 1972-2006. Totally fucked 1000000bpm breakcore that pushes the tempos to the extent of pure noise chaos. Some of you might still argue its inclusion mind.

105. Boyd Rice - Black Album

From TrouserPress:
The first album by California conceptualist Boyd Rice (one of the first avant-garde "musicians" to use turntables as a creative tool) offers no information beyond the artist's name (embossed on the all-black cover), that it was recorded in the mid-'70s and is "playable at any speed." The droning noise slices, which are not audibly ascribable to any specific instruments, seem to consist of short tape loops layered over one another to create repetitive but varying textures (like Frippertronics, but without the guitar) that slow down and speed up on their own. Unlistenable.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

106. Einsturzende Neubauten - Kollaps

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it's now 'Fagtron Nation'

― Onimo has bone for the pink overload! (GerryNemo), Thursday, 23 November 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

Have they gone electroclash across the pond, yet?

― CROWS don't FLY in STRAIGHT LINES (orion), Thursday, 23 November 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

I hope scott hasn't given up his dreams of turning this thread into a book yet

one idea is to start another thread, and invite people who contributed to this thread to re-post short descriptions of the albums contributed

sort of want to do that to the 'top 100 ambient albums' thread as well

― milton parker (Jon L), Thursday, 23 November 2006 22:24 (nineteen years ago)

one year passes...

was that idea ever made into a thread?

Sick Things - Sounds of Silence. The Australian band whose members would go on to Fungus Brains, Venom P Stinger, and the Dirty Three. Massive, if maybe unintentional, distortion. Not too hard to find online.

― Michael Train, Saturday, 15 March 2008 23:36 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, but that leaves around 391 that are pretty difficult I'd wager.

― I know, right?, Sunday, 16 March 2008 02:57 (eighteen years ago)

i lost my copy of joe colley - desperate attempts at beauty. ;_; what a thing. he's kind of a hardcore analog sound artist type, lots of metal balls in speaker cones and elaborate feedback vs. natural processes vs. physical space conceptual pieces but they SOUND UNNNBELIEVABLE. 'desperate attempts' has a lot of field recordings in there too, ice cracking in water mostly? anyway, it's really nerve-wracking and controlled. 'untitled piece for prepared chord organ, microphones, and electronic motors' is more ethereal but just as alien as is 'anthem: static for empty life." don't be put off by the titles! those last two are some of the best "ambient" i've ever heard, super super super dense and warm.

i know drumm has already been mentioned, but he really is fantastic. 'impish tyrant' is my fav. raw raw raw raw raw raw raw. and riffs!
