There are other candidates for the room clearance awards, here's two
to start with:

1) Whitehouse - early '80's noise maestros

http://www.neox.demon.co.uk/whitehouse/

2) Merzbow - mid '80's noise assault

http://www.alien8recordings.com/akasha.php3

Both of these artists are still active and assaulting willing minds.
Both used analogues to create their early sonic tapestries when they 
started releasing records. Check them out, you might be shocked, 
surprised or even smitten.

At my house anything by Mahavishnu, Zappa or Belew will do the trick.
Beauty in the Beast by Carlos is also quite effective.  No need to get
to radical.

Indeed.  I find that Bela Bartok's string quartets will keep the 
annoying away, at least out of my hair.  This doesn't work on my 
grandson, however.  Actually, nothing works on him.  He'll gladly 
play my drums to whatever is playing...

Ok, Ok, well a long time ago, I just got my digital delay.   So I am 
running the local FM radio station through it and diddling with the 
settings.   Then, as I was "freezing" one second sound snippets, I 
accidentally captured perfectly the guy on the Dominos Pizza 
commercial.   "Dominos Pizza"  "Dominos Pizza"  "Dominos 
Pizza"  "Dominos Pizza"  "Dominos Pizza"  "Dominos Pizza"  "Dominos 
Pizza"  "Dominos Pizza"  "Dominos Pizza".

What was the correct thing to do?  Well, that was easy, I stuck in a 
cassette tape and recorded this for 45 minutes.

We used to have a challenge.  How long can you stay in the room with 
it playing?   Most folks lasted no longer than 10 minutes.   :-)

They probably left to order a pizza :)

Maybe you could mix this way into the background of some nice easy 
listening music. It wouldn't clear the rooms, but I bet you'd get a 
lot of free pizza.

Two recordings that are Litmus tests of your passion for electronic 
music:

Morton Subotnick - Until Spring - pure 70's experimental modular work

Brian Eno - Ambient 4: On Land - proves that ambient music can be 
scary.

These will eject everybody but the real electronica die-hards.

or the classic teen party trick that i used to pull - as everyone used to
bring a favourite tape to parties (think mid 80's), and my selections
rapidly got banned -
the solution - record some 'acceptable' music onto a cassette at low volume
then half way through, some unacceptable music (my favourite at the time was
early einsturzende neubauten, or maybe some test dept) at max volume.
slip the tape in the deck, and sidle off to a different room, while in the
meantime someone else turns the volume up and gets the blame

heh heh...

or the other classic, recording music while jiggling the input connectors,
the result on playback - 'ere mate, sounds like your speakers are nackered'

ususally my very own abortive 'stars on 23' project just does the trick now
(richard x style plunderphonics circa 1999)

I have this "academic" recording of EM from around 1966 that is 45min of what sounds like various
stretched rubber bands being plucked/strummed and then delayed/flanged. Eck.

BTW: my comments about Robert's CD were with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Just as 'Bestiary'
is not for everybody, neither is 'Temple of the Invisible'. But, if you are into "that sort of
thing", this genre of music doesn't come out all that often. He won't be playing it on the tour
:)

Boy, is this OT...

True Storey:

My family used to have a vacation house at a lake here, until Hurricane Hugo
decided to drop a bunch of large trees on top of it and take it out. Anyway,
one evening our neighbours decided to have this big Country and Western
themed drunken bash that lasted all night, complete with a DJ under a cowboy
hat spinning Mel Tillis and stuff all night.

We asked them to turn it down several times, but to no avail.

So, the next night, we located this children's plastic record player in a
closet, along with a 45 single of "I'm a Little Teapot".  We put the record
on so it would play over and over non-stop, placed it on our screened-in
front porch, turned it all the way up and grabbed our tents and headed out
to an island for a night of camping.

We got back around 9:30 the next morning and it was still blasting away.
Shortly after that, the neighbours showed up! "OK, we get your point! We're
so sorry and won't let that happen again!"

Heh....I listen to Robert Rich and Mouse on Mars when I'm doing yard work.
Wanna know what my current neighbours thing of me?

We used a different tactic when dealing with our neighbors.  We would
set up a big horn tweeter with a big amp and run a signal generator
through it set to about 25kHz.  We didn't have any dogs at the time, but
our neighbors sure did.

Until Spring is one of my favorites.
