Xome

Xome
Xome is a harsh noise music project conceived and operated by Bob Scott. Xome first started experimenting with dissonant forms of music in 1989 but the first organized live performance in Tokyo in 1994 marks the true activation of the project. Now based in Sacramento, CA, Xome has evolved into a highly refined and extremely harsh noise music unit by means of improvised manipulation of sound generating and processing equipment.

Harsh noise made good and fresh for you and your ears. Produced by Stimbox means that this disc will shake parts of your body you didn't even know you had. The first 15 copies had a special cover with a piece of some kind of animal fur cemented to it... but those are all gone. The rest of 'em still have the trademark harsh Xome sound but without the extra packaging. more info

Negatron Heavy Industries NEG-024

A video CD release of a couple of Xome things. The first part involves about 28 minutes of live video footage of a Xome show from January 1995 at Gear in Kouenji, Tokyo, Japan.
