28 Nels Cline/Carlos Giffoni/Alan Licht/Lee Ranaldo
'Nothing Makes Any Sense' CD
A constantly shifting and engaging long-form piece of developed drone,
foreboding melody, and harsh grit, Nothing Makes Any Sense finds Lee
Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Nels Cline (Nels Cline Singers, Wilco), and
Alan Licht pushing their guitars into a cacophonous state that bears
much influence from the post-jazz fields they've all cut their teeth
in, but also bearing down a forceful brutality that has sometimes
eluded their past material. While Carlos Giffoni uses his analog Synth
mastery to adequately contend and mesh seamlessly with the trio of
strings, letting his analog noise pulsate and pierce with its own
sense of contained stampede.

24 Merzbow 'Live Destruction at No Fun 2007' CD
At this year's No Fun Fest, the legendary Japanese noise king Merzbow
(Masami Akita) gave a blistering performance that stunningly brought
together both his classic analog and recently-explored digital
concerns. Keeping pace between two laptops and an amplified
sheet-metal instrument, the walls of computerized droning distortion
and psyched-out metallic scarping easily reminded those attending to
the world of noise that even icons with twenty-plus year careers under
their belts can still vivaciously channel the advancements they helped
build as well as compose stunning untried sounds.Merzbow's set no
doubt left longtime followers thoroughly fulfilled while those who've
only heard the name thrown around in mythical regard were bound to
have been left with a hearty appreciation of his genius.
