Perhaps over the top in academic references, but he was in a noise band, and now in one with Vomir.
My girlfriend recently dropped her copy of this because it was way too pretentious in its attempt at being completely academic while deliberately avoiding all prominent noise figures.

It's certainly academic, not sure if it follows it's pretentious, though the citations re the likes of Foucault, Deleuze, Bataille maybe fit this. As the background to Noise it covers Industrial and PE, TNB.. but also strangely prog rock & Yes. As for avoiding all prominent noise figures, a chapter on Mezbow, Japnoisexe2x80xa6 MSBR, K2 CCCC are mentioned , Non is mentioned and RRR, though the coverage of USA / Europe isn't that detailed, and nothing re HNW, but I suspect it was written before these became as significant as they did. So IMO there is a lot wrong / missing, but it does address Noise, and many books posted here do not. A discography which does favour the Japanese and Mezbow, but Prurient is checked. Also the precursors and the likes, Cage et al.

So as an intro - OKish, as an insight into why Noise, more than punk, industrial, PE became of academic interest in the early 2000s useful. IMO the very lack of an obvious accepted meaningful content (the tropes found in industrial / PE) gave academics the chance to use noise to theorize.

Seems no longer the case.
