I absolutely love Ashtray Navigations and cant think of how i listened to music before hearing them
There are a couple of Whitehouse videos on youtube which are very visceral, a little ojectionable, and strikingly familiar.
Merzbow is admirable but still shit
Americans pressing buttons and screaming doesnt really work

Ashtray Navigations or even Astral Social Club to me are more psychedelic bands than anything. Yes there is noise/improv in their sound, sure, but it's all filtered through the sensibility of spaced out musicians, not that of noise circuit-benders and all that stuff.
Hey guess what? There is plenty of shit noise, poseurs, angry macho Americans making this type of music, so there are a lot of people who make a great job of it too. There are also plenty of people out there who make the sort of stuff you will appreciate better than noise (not referring to the ikara cult, just in general), so why bother so much with all this? Is it going to change your opinions? No, then move on.
