teh answer is always skullflower imo.

I don't really have a 23 best songs of the decade list. I do like all these tracks quite a bit, though.

voted skullflower obv

mouthus. saw a halo is pretty good all through

Yellow Swans - "Psychic Secession"

that thee majesty track still bowls me over tbh

this is my kind of list. I love Jliat!

[Removed illegal link] *is* tempting, but it's a toss-up between Xome and Latitude: North 41° 53' 0" - Longitude: West 70° 45" 46'. I've got Paul McCartney's 'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey' on right now, so I guess I've got to go with Latitude: North 41° 53' 0" - Longitude: West 70° 45" 46'.

That's a great user name there, too.

this Mr Natural is awesomely mulchy, visceral stuff - if the rest of this list measures up i am in for some good listening

i wouldn't call that sound collage by mr. natural a song though. not even an instrumental. i can live without a tune but the rustling and the other little noises just don't go anywhere i want to go. walking on dead leaves in the woods right now in autumn makes much more interesting sounds. is all the stuff like that?

Mr. Natural uses an instrument made out of a tree branch w/two prongs that he's rigged up with violin/guitar strings and pickups (run through heavy processing obv). I saw him play live and the first 5 minutes were just him scraping the instrument on the floor (he's a shlumpy looking dude so he looked like a janitor lol) and it was like nails on a chalkboard x1000 - I had to turn away and pretend he was doing something else just to make it less viscerally painful, but on the other hand I give him kudos for upping the game for obnoxiousness at a noise music festival. Eventually he started doing other things like banging it on the ground for a percussive sound and playing the open strings with a bow. Seeing it live especially makes you feel like you are one of the molecules being violently shaken in that tree branch.

thanks a lot curt1s but are all 23 tracks sound collages or not?

this embarker is cool! guess what it reminds me of? correct. hamburger laaaaaady

although it has now gone horrendous-noise on us, which is cool. not content to be merely unsettling, it wants to be the horror too!

fwiw i <3 people who fuck w/ noise-making twiddly devices, be they made of wood or no

ok crutis you were in some dark place when you compiled this list right

not that 'kassettmusik' is bad. it is unbearably affecting. compellingly repugnant.

mr natural is pretty cool, saw him a couple years ago opening for costes

like a lot of noise, his stuff works better in a live setting

super nice guy too, talked to him for a while at the show and it turned out we had lived right around the corner from each other back when I was in nashville

thanks a lot curt1s but are all 23 tracks sound collages or not?

kind of? depends on your definition of sound collage. like I said this isn't my real best songs of the decade list or anything. I just mostly wanted to see what people had to say about these tracks, and I do like listening to all these tracks.

like I said this isn't my real best songs of the decade list or anything.

okay i tried embarker, sewer selection and then kevin shields 'cos i thought it is... but no, it was just another noise producer from portland. i am sorry but i won't participate in this poll. i can't decide which "song" is the best. they are different but after having listened to some i only know that i never ever want to listen to them again in my life.

yield to frenzy
yield to the abyss

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
