Ground Zero - Revolutionary Pekinese Opera Version 1.28

japanese harsh-noise/sound-collage/free-improvisation band. there hasn't been any harsh noisy music on here for a while (if ever), so i think its about time that i introduce some non-melodic music to you all :)

dont blow your speakers out... a rule of thumb when listening to noise music, whether your medium be studio monitors, 200 dollar headphones, or a cheap pair of ipod buds, is that you should start with the volume on 0 and slowly move up until it is at a comfortable level, being sure to leave headroom in case there is anyone change in dynamics (when the music suddenly changes volume, which happens quite a bit in noise music)

heed my advice, i have messed up many speakers in my time i have spent listening (and making!) to this sort of music, i know better ;)

ps the youtube video below is one of the least noisy tracks on the album, don't get this album and expect to be treated to an (easily) understandable melody/beat throughout!

Kid Koala - Some of My Best Friends Are DJs

Probably one of the most talented turntablists I have ever heard, Kid Koala often voyages into the realm of the experimental, creating his own sound that could almost be defined as post-hiphop. In fact, his accuracy in scratching is so advanced that he manages to scratch out complete, detuned melodies out of single samples, making very twisted versions of what would otherwise be ordinary tunes, and throwing in some hip hop and experimental spice along the way.
