Fennesz - Hotel Paral.lel

just checking in to say i am still here, just really busy... sorry, i should have called this site "noise every-once-in-a-while" :P

today is some neat ambient drone/glitch made with a guitar, field recordings, and post processing out the wazoo :D

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (')

<3 <3 <3

if you can find it, there is also a combo of this album and overnite sensation, that is definitely a bonus :)

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

this isn't so much a "suggestion" as a "requirement". seriously, if you don't listen to this album now, then leave this blog, fast and bulbous.

Mains de Givre - Esther Marie

very cinematic, droning, dramatic, awesome *-*

Les Rallizes Dénudés - December's Black Children

obscure (but influential and awesome) japanese noise rock with simple chord progression and insane feedback and vocals... its hard to explain, really.

warning to listener: beware, this music has a possible risk of making the listener high entirely through sound.

i... am not joking. 0_0

Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers

mike paradinas, of µ-ziq and kid spatula, and richard d james, of aphex twin and afx, get together and make an album. awesome ensues.

Steve Reich - Drumming

poly-rhythmic minimalistic drumming. phase music, yay!

Björk - Vespertine

hey, it is officially noise daily's 100th post!

and you know what that means: björk.

those who know me at all know i am a bit of a björk freak, so i am actually surprised i managed to wait until now to post any albums by her, but i felt the 100th post was a big enough occasion to bring her up :)

if you have never heard the magic of björk, this is a good place to start. everyone else; why dont you have her discography, hmm? :P

just joking! björk is sort of one of those artists you either love or hate, along with several other artists i have posted before, so don't feel bad if it ain't your thing (i personally dont love radiohead, for example).

alright, now before you listen, let me take the time to give myself a plug for my irc chatroom, where all noise daily readers (and other weirdos) hang out:

server: irc.maddshark.net

channel: #noise

i go by the username "stelpa" there :)

alright, enough self promotion! happy 100th post day everyone :3

Plone - For Beginner Piano

sadly, this is plone's only album, as one of the three members died of cancer several years after the creating of this album, and the group then disbanded. rumor has it that they had a second album, which was never released, but somehow leaked onto the internet after the break up.

anyways, this music is rather cheery and analog, almost childish sounding, made mostly with vintage keyboards and fx. the composition is wonderful, and it makes me all warm inside. my only complaint is that it only runs for around half an hour :s

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!

more nice music on its way <3

part 1

part 2

Aphex Twin - drukQs

crap, i missed a day :X

ok, to make it up to you, one of the most classic experimental electronic albums ever :)

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

no comment (<3)

Giraffes? Giraffes! - More Skin With Milk-Mouth

i have posted other albums from the side projects of "giraffes? giraffes!" but this is the first feature of their main project. this album cover is rather... intense? anyways, this was one of my first math rock albums, and i still really love it. i find it amazing that the entire album is a just a two piece band, one guitarist and one drummer, both very skilled at their instruments. i highly recommend this album to any fan of math rock, or experimental rock in general.

p.s. here is a list of all the tracks present in this album, because, uhh, the names... they are amazing. also you can buy the album here (hah)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F♯ A♯ ∞

the first album by gy!be, and still one of my favorites (they are kinda all my favorites though). my version is 3 tracks long, each one very very long for a single song, but yours might differ, as there are several. each track is divided into several movements with recurring themes and melodies, but the tempo throughout is rather slow, but shifting. the base of this album seems to be the end of the world, and in fact, wikipedia says it was one of the main inspirations for the film "28 days later". if you haven't heard this album yet, i highly recommend it (but seriously, where have you been if you haven't heard it?).
