Re: [microsound] powernoise

holy shit.
I come from Michigan, and I was kind of surprised to hear talk from the 
low-key microsound board about power electronics-style noise, which is the sort of 
stuff we listen to around here.
I don't really know where to begin here to tell you what it's like musically 
with this stuff.
In Michigan we have Wolf Eyes and the American Tapes label which despite what 
any of you laptoppers think remains great. We also have Animal Disguise run 
by Mammal with Viki and Hair Police and a bunch of other people on it. And 
there's a bunch of smaller labels around here too, I don't want to have to list 
them.
Over in Minneapolis is the Freedom From label (http://www.freedom-from.com/) 
with a bunch of stuff on it, a lot of it isn't noise but a lot of it is. If 
you go to their links page you will find a bunch of labels that have noisyness 
on them, you probably haven't heard of a lot of it.
Then of course there's Providence RI, from which comes the Load records label 
(http://www.loadrecords.com/). This label houses a good synthesis of noise 
and metal, with people like Lightning Bolt, Nautical Almanac, and Metalux 
holding court. And Fort Thunder was from Providence too, which is important. 

Uh, that's where most American power electronics seems to be coming from 
these days, so go check it out.
