Various ‎– The Japanese / American Noise Treaty 2XCD

Hectic working schedule and boredom allow me no time to upload something less well-known or a meaningful review, so I'm just gonna leave here one of the most classic noise compilation of all time, and probably the greatest example of how good Relapse/Release was in comparison to the commercial metal sewer they have now become. A compilation that features giants such as Merzbow, Masonna, K2, CCCC, Hijokaidan, Incapacitants, The Haters, Macronympha, Walking Time Bombs, Cock E.S.P., Richard Ramirez, and others. 1995 double cd on Release Entertainment.

Tribes Of Neurot And Walking Time Bombs ‎– Static Migration cd

Another high point for the glorious years of Relapse/Release is this collaboration between Tribes of Neurot and Scott Ayer's Walking Time Bombs combining harrowing dark ambient with harsh noise and post-punk with ritual drums to create a sonic image of primeval landscapes and Lovecraftian worlds. Although sonically it's not that close to it, I tend to think of this as an heir to SPK's Zamia Lehmanni in its combination of post-industrial samples and electronics with devotional droning noise. 1998 cd on Release Entertainment.
