ok if this so bad and so little innovative... tell me why tell me who makes really innovative noise music so that I can listen to it. and tell me, if this remix better or worse than the original? my fav here is ktpa1... it really makes me have 7 minutes of relaxing trippy sounds |

As for the first track i must say that i do like it. I think Richard did a good job here. Nothing over the top about it but i would consider it above average. I like how near the end it starts turning into noise leading into the next two tracks KTPA1 KTPA2. As for the noise tracks i think they are average. Considering i like merzbow. So either you like these tracks or you dont. That is what will make or break this EP. Overall i'd give it a 3.7/5.0 |

Has anyone tried to run it through a spectrograph software to see if there are scans of pictures (like track 2 off windowlicker). I guess lots of noise would just look like a haze right? |

I love Run the Place Red, it's 'ardcore. But, no, I don't like noise music at all, except for a few interspersed bursts here and there. Some cool noises, but that's it... which makes sense. |

the noise on smoj is just horizontal lines (the beeping balloon noises) and .. well noise like when your tv is malfunctioning about smojphace : dont like it. the remix is way over the top, drukqs and mangle11 are cool but i just dont dig that 2902395 bpm drummachine kebab shit the best thing about smojphace is the name.. ever tried yelling it in the street? |

''the best thing about smojphace is the name.. ever tried yelling it in the street?'' Yeah, I've been doing it for years. Richard stole my schtick. |

it's taken me a year, but i've finally heard this ep. i really like it. especially the second and third tracks. i like noise music in general, and while i don't think this is particularly mindblowing noise, i don't think it sucks either. as far as noise music goes, these are pretty listenable. not very harsh, sort of balloon-squeaky as jaroen describes. easy-listening noise... ktpa1 and ktpa2 aren't meant to be heavy or overbearing, they're in their own little world. so while i can see purists not digging this sound, i wouldn't write it off the way many have. subjectively speaking, i find these tracks asthetically pleasing, though not necessarily overly challenging or emotional. overall, this ep is much more accessible than i had thought it would be. i think it's a quality ep by afx and i will listen to it more than a few times. |

good noise from various segments of the genre (which is an oh-so sprawling one): Black Dice Kevin Drumm Wolf Eyes Sightings Mindflayer Whitehouse Nurse With Wound Prurient Excepter Hecker Julien Ottavi the Boredoms Les Rallizes Denudes Markus Schmickler Fennesz Pita Rehberg and Bauer Z'ev Voice Crack Keith Rowe Gunter Muller Oren Ambarchi |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see Fennesz on there. Would, then, you also count Tim Hecker as noise? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if tracks like this were on 26 remixes than that release would be okay, but i still wouldnt buy it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm what's wrong with 26 remixes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
honestly, i don't know where to draw the line between ambient and noise, i'm tempted to say they are the same thing... there is certainly plenty of Tim Hecker that could be comfortably be placed within the noise realm... but when i said Fennesz i was mostly referring to some of his collaborative work with the likes of Keith Rowe, and Werner Dafeldecker... and also some of his earlier solo stuff like Hotel Paral.el (or wherever the period goes in there...), and not so much later stuff which bears large similarities to Tim's work... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hotel Parel.el i would consider to be "noise music" or something, yeh. But it's a really blurry genre. Tim hecker is another borderline thingy. To be honest i don't give a furry fuck as long as it sounds good. Oh yeah, anyone read the wire article on wolf eyes this month? I've never heard anything by them, but i'm reeeeeally intrigued. They sound great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are great... try to check out Dread or Dead Hills, or even the new one i suppose... i don't think that issue of the Wire is quite available here yet... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They're on the cover this issue. It's quite funny, most of the cover artists for the wire are very clued-up about their "conceptual goalzzz" or whatever, but wolf eyes sound like a couple of work-with-anyone stoners who had a lot of fun for a lot of years and suddenly got signed to sub pop, verrry laid-back. Interestink Fakt: someone from black dice punched one of the wolf eyes dudes' friends in the balls. They hated each other for a while until they made an album together. |

two albums in fact... this has lead to a fair amount of confusion... i still don't know which one i have... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's a pretty standard state to be confused about their output... apparently there are a whole shitload of self-pressed vinyl and cassette albums hanging around in hideously limited quantities. God help us if they ever get as popular as BoC. I think the interweb would implode. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i actually know a lot of people who buy their cassettes and such... please just try to ignore the fact that the sky is falling inwards... it's probably better that way... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's one of the worst releases I've ever heard. Richard shat on a record and put it out, proving people would buy anything he's involved in. I cannot believe some people have convinced themselves they like this crap. The name is tight though. Smojphace. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am totally wasted... I like it but its true, it is the one I like the least out of his works |
||||||||

KTPA1 is fucking fantastic I dont care what you guys say listening now in a break of 26 mixes, near the end of my trip |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Today I was listening to it... This "Remix Of Run The Place Red" is fucking amazing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't care for the remix much. as far as the other two tracks are concerned, i'm squarely in the camp that believes that if you enjoy them, there's no reason why you wouldn't enjoy a recording of virtually any decontextualized non-specific sound or noise with a reasonable degree of tonal/volume contrast that had the afx brand name affixed to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed |
