To put aside our differences in taste for the moment, I'd like to address what I see to be the root of this discussion on ambient noise cd's. I think the real issue is that these albums would never have been produced or distributed had the people involved not only been famous, but owners of their own record labels. I agree that this is not the best noise ambient can be, but I fear most of the best noise music never makes it past the 4-track, or home computer. And I agree that the fact that (with the case of Weird Little Boy and Hemophiliac, specifically) these albums cost much more than they should. I can't even think of one ambient noise album that doesn't have members who've already produced something more listenable. Maybe I'm wrong. If anybody knows any record labels who distribute these kinds of things by unknowns, I'd like to know. I'm working on a noise project right now and have no hopes of ever getting it anywhere but to the few people involved. I think this is truly the problem with this music, not the fact that some like them and some don't. Jerm _________________________________________________________________ Click, drag and drop.

Merzbow is a name that came immediately up in my mind. Has this dude made something 'listenable' (i mean 'earfriendly' for the not-experienced - not saying that his music is bad or something) but also Zoviet France, Daniel Menche, Francisco Lopez, Pimmon, Pita, ... so I don't know about your statement....There are tons of noise & ambient projects released on so much labels by people who stick in their genre (wich is fine by the way) . Okay, they are much more underground than for instance tzadik or ipecac and they suffer sometimes from bad distribution. But still, what about labels like soleilmoon, alien8, neurot recordings, touch, fällt, relapse, staalplaat ... Hell, I should check out my cd-collection to sum up a list of all the labels that do release these kinds of stuff. But I surely agree with you that a 'famous' member in a project will help the project a lot with getting it the attention that it (might) deserve and i'm sure it immediately opens quite a lot of doors to get it released or to perform it live. Bye, Sven
