Merzbow (electronic, ambient, drum, funk, metal)

I have tried and tried to listen to 'Pulse Demon'but I cannot make it past the first couple of tracks. I hate it when music 'beats' me and becomes unlistenable but I have to draw the line somewhere.

^it takes alot to admit it I know... with Merzbow I can understand the appeal and periodically I will have a hankerin' for some deeply textured noise, but it just gets too much after a while.

However I do love the idea though of noise filling in the spaces; and should you choose to you can listen, picking out the nuances like you would in the silence of a quiet summer's afternoon - passing cars, distant birdsong. Except in this case the distant bird song is nails on an aluminium sheet drowning in a sea of white static. It's all relative.

I actually like Merzbow. And I don't even know why...
Their(his) discography is confusing though. I have some 80s/90s stuff, which are more or less noise(and my favorite), but some of the recent releases aren't that bad on the ears.
Check out '24 Hours - A Day of Seals' and 'Offering'. Both are very listenable actually.

I like Merzbow, but more as background music, or funny entertainment. It's not really my thing, but I respect the guy a lot for all the work he's put out.

Although, I am really into most of the stuff he's done with Boris. I recommend any of their collaboration tracks to anyone into both Noise, and good old-fashioned rock.
