I think SHELLAC's Copper is their most perfect song. Less than 2 and a half minutes of increasing tension and skronk and RAWK. Love that fucking song. saw them play it live in Houston several years ago. my nuts burst

Will you stop saying skronk!

Neu-Fuer Immer

A song that lasts 11 minutes and is essentially based around one beat shouldn't be this good. Just perfect.

sunn o))) - bathory erszebet

black one is a perfect album too, a genuinely horrifying piece of work.

it's got some of the best feedback and heavy riffs ever. Boris's "The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked" EP's just might be as good.

totally agree on black one when high, it's as if you fall between the drones and just totally lose any sense of direction or time.

I can never decide between ØØ void, monoliths or black one. they are just such a prodigious group, their understanding of tone is so far beyond any other, save perhaps lamonte young. the reason I say monoliths is on par with black one is that the amount of detail on that record is just fucking astounding, especially on aghartha.

also love that boris series, much more brutal than sunn o))), more physical and less psychologically destructive.

skronk is my favorite musical trait! Most of the bands and music I love is heavily skronk! SKRONK!

Sunn O))) and Earth just make me fall asleep.

everytime I put their albums on, I get very sleepy and doze off. I ama huge fan of white noise to help sleep. I love that static fuzzdrone....
because of this I can not be objective about sunno))) and Earth albums, and I still don;t know if I like them.

I once fell asleep to black one and had like a fucking fever dream, it was brilliant/horrifying, take your pick.

this might sound ridiculous, but ever since I was young I've always enjoyed drones in any capacity, especially fridges, because I've lived on a highway and I love hearing that, beneath all that cacophony there is always this constant buzz. so hearing sunn was sort of like a dream come true, I didn't have to listen to fucking VCRs and shit any more.

but then as I got older I came to realise the complexity of it, and they served as a gateway for me back into metal and simultaneously into the realm of avant-garde composition (conrad, young, dumitrescu etc.), so in that they are of considerable significance in terms of shaping my taste(s).

so yeah, one would by no means expect everyone to enjoy it, not because 'drone is so arty, brah' but rather as a consequence of the very concept of two robed men deploying merely bowel-rattling chords. to each their own etc.

I find it soothing I guess. it puts me to sleep like hypnosis, not like boredom.

hehehe....same. Silence can be a bit overwhelming for me sometimes. I need to click a pen or drag my shoes or SOMETHING to keep a constant sound. I've lived next to railroad tracks all my life(still do kind of..but I can't hear it anymore :/ ) worked in my dad's warehouse with loud fans/machinery almost constantly giong off....I come here and I'm currently listening to Merzbow and Richard Pinhas(Shibuya Aks!)....hehe

So yeh...white noise and anything droney is super soothing.

h8kurdt 04.03.2013 01:13 PM

This should interest you then

I''ve been tothe quietest place on earth.

EVOLghost 04.03.2013 01:41 PM

Ah yes. I read about that room. Super interesting too. I remember hearing about cages 4'33" and he had some commentary similar to what I read here about being able to hear blood running through yer veins...creepy :D....

Rob Instigator 04.03.2013 01:54 PM

i wanna go to that room. i hear you go INSANE from hallucinations because it is sooooo quiet!

wild wild life by Talking Heads.

A fantastic song off an album that is complete shit. Radiohead is ok.

Rob Instigator 10.03.2013 08:16 AM

That song is classic, but the album is no bueno. I know what you mean.
"spending all of my money and time, from too much wild wild life.."
