First noise album I got was Alec Empire Vs Merzbow Live at CBGB. The liner notes claim people were leaving mid set and lying on the pavement with ears bleeding. Whether this is hyperbole or not, it's a wonderful image. Repeated listens reveal mangled rhythms buried under the full spectrum screech and it's upon finding these rhythms and subdued patterns that not just this album but the majority of 'good' noise starts to make sense and become enjoyable. They may never be overt, many of them may be patterns that only you will ever notice, it's a very listener dependant experience, and that's it's appeal to me. I don't know if the noiseguide forums still exist but they were fascinating to me a few years ago, a lot of producers as well as fans.
