i don't even like 98% of the noise i have heard. i just came across this and some review calling it something like the greatest musical release since 1900 or something and said "fuck it".

well ok, not quite, but the actual quote from discogs:

"This box set is one of the most valuable pieces of art to come across this world during the 1900's. No artist has come close to releasing a 50 CD Box Set."

the merzbox is not the bes way to approach merzbow. try amlux or 1930 or something.

1930 was horrible - i understand the whole "art" side to this music but this is just a little to outside of the box for me..

you're an idiot for doing this d

there's a lot more accessible noise music for people like you

but i guess you just want to look cool or something

Is there a 'best of' of this at all?

I can't be bothered wasting my life on listening to all 50

MERZBOX 01 - OM Electrique, Vol. 1

I liked "OM Electrique Part 1" and Part 2, however I did not care for "Untitled Taped Drum Solo" all that much, but it was infinitely better than "Untitled Guitar Solo".

"I did not care for "Untitled Taped Drum Solo" all that much, but it was infinitely better than "Untitled Guitar Solo"."

Glad to hear it. This phrase alone speaks volumes about the unlimited, awesome potential of this thread.

MERZBOX 02 - Metal Acoustic Music

1 Track, 47 Minutes, titled "Balance of Neurosis"... sounds crazy, right? It had the potential to be a complete wankfest: noises that went nowhere, abrasive distortion, etc. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it was totally tolerable. It kinda kept the same sort of pace and tempo and there was nothing too jarring and unnecessary.

MERZBOX 03 - Remblandt Assemblage

my notes:
#1 nice. i can get behind this.
#2 worthless - sounds like someone blowing their nose and that's lame
#3 meh. not as good as #1
#4 nice interlude, nothing special
#5 meh. not bad, not good
#6 ditto, nice entry into #7
#7 i like the spoken word, but it kinda lacked focus throughout - kept my attention, though, which is always good.
#8 nice closer
