Merzbow and the Haters - banned productions CD
 

Got this bad boy from Volcanic Tongue. It's a reissue of a cassette tape from 1987. Three tracks: first one is Merzbow, second is Haters, third is a showdown between the two. This is the recording that Thurston mentions in the poem liner notes to his Sensitive/Lethal disk. And I'm wont to agree with Thurston on this one, it is indeed 'thee quintessential.'
The Haters track in particular is sublime. Really gorgeous yet destructive noise. I think it's one of the most beautifully crafted slabs of noise/drone I ever heard. Monolithic enough to nod out to yet plenty of minimal subtleties to keep part of yr consciousness engaged. It also furthers my theory that GX-Jupiter Larson is a genius.
So yeh, I cannae recommend this one enough.
Anyone else into this?

Not heard it, but it sounds awesome. I'm more into The Haters than Merzbow overall, but the collaboration must be pretty amazing too.

yeah, the haters are one of my favorite noise groups/artists ever, in my top 10 easily. merzbow, not so much, i still like him though.

yes i've got this too, i really like the last track the best

the haters "drunk on decay" is easily in my top 10 noise records all time.

Can't you uplad some tracks? Sounds rather interesting.

i second thrasher02's request...i saw haters at no fun fest and it was mildly amusing...need to hear some tunes...anyone else see that haters dvd? wtf? that one with the feet trudging through snow for 10 min. while some noise plays...

Haters DVD, huh? Sounds intriguing. GX Jupitter-Larson has some awesome artsy noise vids on youtube as well as links to all sorts of surrealist/dada shit in his favorites section. http://uk.youtube.com/user/noisenomics Hours of fun.

From that selfsame page:
CINEMA NOISE is a (All Region / NTSC) DVD that features ten of my video works (1983-2006) that filter a lexicon of recurring themes through a spectrum of movie motifs and narrative strategies. You'll see skiers stop to build an empty hole in the snow, nomadic bikers debating the polywave, a spy being led from one mysterious note to another, vampires working on their garlic farm, and a visitation that gives a professor the inspiration to invent a gadget that transforms lives. What you'll hear is pure noise, most of which is derived from amplified erosion. Paypal me $15 for your copy: gx at jupitter-larsen dot com
