1	Easy Listening for Iron Youth (1991) more music like this by Non Boyd Rice's tongue is firmly within cheek (then again, when isn't it?) with this compilation of his work from the 1980s -- among other personages, the album is dedicated to Vlad the Impaler (pictured on the front cover feasting among his victims), Charles Manson, and "the Hero of Green River." Easy Listening for Iron Youth has one big disadvantage ... see all copies from $6.47! new only from $13.09!
2	Saw a Halo (2007) more music like this by Mouthus On Saw a Halo, Mouthus, again with the help of Samara Lubelski, further explore the realms of what can be called extremely shadowy music -- not necessarily the clearest of pseudo-genre names, but apt for what's being done. If anything, as the opening track "Your Far Church" shows, the spirit of some of the most experimental early-'80s rock from ... see all copies from $8.57! new only from $13.57!
3	Happy Days (1997) more music like this by Jim O'Rourke see all copies from $11.16! new only from $14.22!
4	Bambi's Dilemma (2007) more music like this by Melt Banana Even when at their most accessible, Melt Banana is still one of the more challenging punk rock outfits in recent history, and with their seventh full-length studio album the band that harnessed chaos to perfection in 2003's Cell-Scape continues to make music that is as thoroughly outrageous and dizzyingly hilarious as ever. While Bambi's Dilemma ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $11.76!
5	Alien Soundtracks (1978) more music like this by Chrome With Creed recruited to replace original member Mike Low (though allegedly Edge initially turned Creed down after the latter appeared wearing a pirate outfit or something similar), Chrome started kicking into high gear at last. While Spain and Lambdin weren't out of the picture yet, cowriting half the songs with Edge, Creed's mind-melting guitar ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
6	Altar (2006) more music like this by Sunn 0)))/Boris Altar is a bona fide collaboration between powersonic drone throners Sunn 0))) and Japan's experimental rockist thunderhead Boris. Outfitted by the Southern Lord label (Sunn 0)))'s vanity plate) in an oversize digipack with a four-color, 12-page booklet, with black ink on gold metallic pages, it's a handsome package to say the least. When looking ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $12.61!
7	Cell-Scape (2003) more music like this by Melt Banana Has Melt Banana gone electronica? Though this is likely the question fans will be asking themselves during the electronically-oriented, almost Curve-like opening refrains of Cell-Scape, the answer is an emphatic and enthusiastic "no" -- they are, in fact, more tightly focused in their remarkably controlled fury than ever. From the grinding opening ... see all copies from $10.43! new only from $12.13!
8	1930 (1998) more music like this by Merzbow There's a wider variety of unexpected sounds than those normally heard in a Merzbow listening session in this sonic inundation. Unguessed-at dimensions are accessed through 1930 via sensory overload of oscillations, infinitely layered static, frequencies from pitch to buzz -- an explosion could get lost in this, and many do. It is the sounds of ... see all copies from $14.03! new only from $14.03!
9	Arc (1991) more music like this by Neil Young & Crazy Horse A 35-minute "compilation compositor" by Neil Young, Arc consists of a series of excerpts from 1991 concerts by Young & Crazy Horse strung together. Young has taken the tune-ups and outros, the guitar feedback, and random playing and singing from various songs and shows, and constructed a nearly atonal sound collage. Now and then, he is heard ... see all copies from $6.80! new only from $11.39!
10	God & Beast (1997) more music like this by Non God and Beast features the best production thus far on any Non release, courtesy of Ken Thomas (David Bowie, Slade, Paul McCartney, etc.). The album finds Boyd Rice delving into his trademark experimental noise, combining new material with remakes of previous tracks "Total War" and "Out Out Out." Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.55! new only from $10.73!
11 view cover	Anthology 1979-1983 (2004) more music like this by Chrome For all of those curious but understandably tentative music lovers awaiting the arrival of an affordable single-disc collection summarizing the oftentimes confusing career of industrial music pioneers Chrome, Cleopatra Records' Anthology 1979-1983 offers an excellent, and pretty close to definitive, cross section of highlights from the San ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
12 view cover	Flutter (2001) more music like this by Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet Produced for John Zorn's label, which is appropriate, as the Japanese noise artist Otomo Yoshahide is frequently cited as the Tokyo avant-garde equivalent to New York's hyperactive composer. While generally miles apart in style, the New Jazz Quintet swings relatively close to the orbit of the '90s avant-garde work of John Zorn, who came full ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
13 view cover	Super Milk (1998) more music like this by Ultra Bide Super Milk proves that Ultra Bidé are far more listenable than most Japanese noise-rock bands, throwing space-rock, psychedelia, electronica, traditional Japanese sounds, and -- most importantly -- melodicism into their musical mix. Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.66! new only from $7.66!
14 view cover	Arc Weld (1991) more music like this by Neil Young & Crazy Horse Arc Weld was a three-disc set containing Weld and Arc, also available separately. Weld, Neil Young's two-hour-plus double-CD chronicle of his 1991 tour with Crazy Horse, was received with only mild enthusiasm, perhaps because it seemed redundant. Such warhorses as "Like a Hurricane" and "Cortez the Killer" were making their fourth appearances on a ... see all copies from $69.98!
15 view cover	Tongues (2007) more music like this by Kieran Hebden/Steve Reid Tongues is not The Exchange Session, Vol. 3 , nor is it a series of outtakes or discarded tracks from those sessions packaged simply to lure in those looking for more -- anything more -- from the deft electronics-and-percussion collaboration. (Although its release, in one sense, is the result of Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid's success; it was ... see all copies from $14.14! new only from $14.14!
16 view cover	Human Animal (2006) more music like this by Wolf Eyes Human Animal, Wolf Eyes' first album with Hair Police's Mike Connelly (who replaced Aaron Dilloway as a touring member of the band), polarizes the band's frenzied sounds and cavernous quiet even more dramatically than Burned Mind, which interspersed bludgeoning noise with respites of near silence. This time around, eerie, wide-open spaces make ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.56!
17 view cover	Teeny Shiny (2000) more music like this by Melt Banana see all copies from $9.95! new only from $12.31!
18 view cover	Qvaris (2005) more music like this by No-Neck Blues Band The ever-swathed-in-mystery No-Neck Blues Band are back with another CD to enter into their catalog (and a double LP for you vinyl freaks). Based in Harlem, the anonymous collective has been together for a decade and put out more recordings than one can find or list. Qvaris is a continuation of their spooky blend of guitars, drums, strings, ... see all copies from $10.87! new only from $13.80!
19 view cover	The Exchange Session, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Kieran Hebden/Steve Reid The Exchange Session, Vol. 1 is the second collaboration between Four Tet's Kieran Hebden and jazz drummer extraordinaire Steve Reid. The pair first collaborated on Reid's excellent Spirit Walk album. There was one tune on that set, "Drum Story," where Hebden and Reid played without the rest of the latter's band. Over 13-minutes in length, it was ... see all copies from $13.09! new only from $13.09!
20 view cover	Total Castration (1996) more music like this by Zeni Geva see all copies from $5.95! new only from $16.35!
21 view cover	Synth Destruction (2007) more music like this by Merzbow/Carlos Giffoni see all copies from $11.94! new only from $13.66!
22 view cover	Anode (2001) more music like this by Otomo Yoshihide Experimental composer/improvisers have long had a fascination with developing systems that manage to combine the two. For example, a system of rules might be applied which constrains players within certain guidelines where, as long as they don't exceed certain boundaries, they are free to improvise. John Zorn' s game pieces such as Cobra come to ... see all copies from $7.75! new only from $14.22!
23 view cover	The Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music [Collector's Choice] (1975) more music like this by Beaver & Krause It's strange in the 21st century to think of Beaver & Krause's debut album as being the Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music -- an instructional recording on how the then-new Moog synthesizer could be used. Originally issued as a double album, it contained 68 short tracks over four sides; not bad considering the entire thing is only 48-minutes long. ... see all copies from $9.90! new only from $16.05!
24 view cover	Field Manual (1998) more music like this by Bomb20 The story goes that a 17-year-old Bomb 20 contacted Digital Hardcore/Atari Teenage Riot leader Alec Empire and accused him of being too old and out of touch already. Bravado? Not when you give an ear to Field Manual, which manages the unique trick of not merely equaling but outstripping Empire's sonic approach. Massive hip-hop drum loops, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.57!
25 view cover	Burned Mind (2004) more music like this by Wolf Eyes Wolf Eyes remains one of the most prominent groups in the noise scene of the 2000s with Burned Mind, their first full-length for Sub Pop. Being on a bigger label means more opportunity for listeners to have their ears and brains reformatted by the trio's alternately suffocating and spare electronic-based works, and they make the most of it: Burned ... see all copies from $10.55! new only from $12.56!
