That makes the two of us then. xD
And that is awesome. My collection has become far too digital for me to turn back to vinyl now. I could never afford the amount of music I regularly collect.
I hope you can get a turntable soon though. ^^
Yeah... that's why I stopped organizing the genre tags on my music. the CDDB just fails like that all the time, and also most of the time I have no clue to put a band under one genre or another. I'm sick of going by genres. It's all music.
Well I'm glad you liked it. Provided you were listening to them, anyway. xD
What was the song title? or titles you heard on youtube?
I don't think Silver Mt Zion would classify as Noise... they're more... experimental. Although there are songs where there's a lot going on. The first several tracks of one of their albums features a melody constructed entirely from guitar pickup feedback, so I suppose that would be noise.
Merzbow is really good, btw. I've listened to his collaborations with Boris for a while, and today I finally decided to look into his own work. I loaded his discogrpahy page on wikipedia... I think my eyes exploded. It'll be QUITE a task getting my hands a good chunk of his work. xD
And with Boris... if you like Merzbow and Silver Mt. Zion, you should check out Boris. Like I said, they colloborated with Merzbow, and at times they're sound is really similar, as a result.
^^
Yeah. I can say the same of the Album Leaf. Steven Wilson and Jimmy LaValle are both musical genuises.
Maybe you should pick that story back up. I've got pieces of a semi-sci-fi circling my head. I have a basic idea for a plot. Nothing to move it yet though. I'm not rushing it though. I'll get it started when It's ready to begin.
Yeah. It really is. Thats why I only look at the genre of a band when I'm looking to find bands with a similar sound. As far as keeping track of the genres... No. There's too many, and they vary way too much.
Haha. S'alright. I do that quite often too xD
One of my favorite songs by them is "Take These Hands And Throw Them In The River". Try that one if you have the time. "Microphones In The Trees" is also really good.
If you can stomach noise, you can stomach anything. That's what I have to say about that. xD
It is... completely insane. Merzbow. Good god. Over about three decades he's released 241 studio albums. That doesn't include any of his other work. I'm looking to get my hands on Merzbox, actually. It could take a while for me to actually get all of it though... its a LOT of music.
And yeah. That song is really harsh.
When there's too much I'd say it can be taken for granted. When it's not just one band making a unique sound, and other bands start to mimic that first band... it goes from being something original to an actual genre. That can be either good or bad, but it does make me appreciate that there are only a few people like Steven Wilson and JImmy LaValle, and only one Silver Mt Zion.
Ah. Yeah. Try and put your own original spin on it then! ^^
