the only CD i ever returned to the shop EVER The main reason was i didnt even know who merzbow where let alone that they were a noise band. It gave me a headache and i just didn't get it. I've bought shed laods of other bad albums such as JJ72 - what a shit album, although i always fancied thier bass player and her bulbous head! |

Haha, I've actually bought my first Merzbow release - a 2-cd remix album based on a single "song" of his (i.e. noise production) called Frog. It's got some pretty good interpretations, notably from Fennesz, Pita, House of Low Culture and others. I still wouldn't pay money for his industrial releases en masse. He has no patience with his material, nor with his audience. If you want to reward his self-indulgence, send him money to his home address. |

the worst bit was being completly oblivious to any such idea as releasing an album that is actually a cacophony of pure BUZZING. Like bottled migrane. If I'd have bought it today i prolly would have kept it if only to annoy the nieghbours with or to put off unwanted lady admirers! |

i have merzbow's "pulse demon," and i like it. doesn't work well through headphones, though. it might not be music, but it's detailed, intense, cathartic and explosive sound. small doses can be very rewarding. here's what got 1/5 at discogs, but at least i kept them. can't remember too many titles in my "sell back" pile. the second neu! album, the beta band compilation... Chameleons, The - Why Call It Anything (classic band makes unworthy comeback album) Daft Punk - Discovery (stupid stupid stupid) Gentle People, The - Simply Faboo (kept it for "groovin' with you", otherwise terrible) Leila - Feeling (can't remember what it sounds like, actually) Mouse On Mars - Actionist Respoke (more irritating than merzbow) Tranquility Bass - Beep!!! (lame remix after lame remix) Tusken Raiders - The Motorbike Track (greedy ass fake bullshit) Various - Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond The Call Of Duty Part 2 (some of the lamest remixes at the expense of numerous killer remixes that should have been included) Various - Badorb.com - Bless You (maybe the orb nadir) |

I just remembered I have this absolutely hideous wank of an ep by some band called "Flashpoint" that I got free once when I ordered something from Atomic Pop around 6 or 7 years ago. I played it once and thought it was the worst steaming pile of fetid horseshit I'd ever heard. Thought I'd chucked it out but found it again a year or so ago. |

What the hell is wrong with Neu! 2? It has Für Immer, and Für Immer is the greatest song! |

to each their own, i thought it was boring, self-indulgent and too lo fi for it's own good. maybe not terrible, but not worth listening to. i'm sure there's no rational reason why i don't like it, though. i'll spin "fur immer" one last time when i get home today, just for you. self-indulgent is the worst criticism ever devised; a haven for the lazy who don't care to indulge. where's the fucking umlaut on this computer... |

Do you know the story behind the album? All the tracks in the middle are supposed to be silly and self-indulgent, they didn't have enough money to properly record anything else. Side 2 of the record caused consternation at the time: Neu! had quite simply run out of money to finish recording the album, so side 2 is made up entirely of their previously released single "Neuschnee/Super", manipulated at various playback speeds on a recordplayer, or mangled in a cassette recorder. Critics at the time dismissed this as a cheap gimmick and a rip-off. Whilst it was indeed an experiment born of desperation and necessity, it was entirely in keeping with Neu's pop art aesthetics, taking a 'ready-made' sound object and re-presenting it with a series of stylized manipulations, and also quite in keeping with the way Neu's music deconstructed and pared down the form of rock music. Dinger has since pointed to side 2 of this album as being a prototype of the now ubiquitous multiple 'remixes' which typically accompany any pop single release. Very cute. |

i didn't know that they did that because they ran out of money. i think they should have saved their money and spent it on the third album. ach, jetzt ist es zu spat. still can't find the umlaut, too little time to look... |

i once bought a flotsam and jetsam album. fuck me that was dreadful, most disappointing purchase was probably solaris by photek. bought some kid606 albums that where shite also. i could go on and maybe will when i am charged by a second wind. stay tuned all fans of directionless opinionating. |
