I got the Radio Palestine comp on Sublime Frequencies. I suppose you could call that noise in a cutup/collage sense. It's pretty fucking amazing, I think.

I remember some Stomach Ache (or Dolor del Estomago) record that was supposed to be a comp EP of South American noise bands. Some people thought it was fake, though, I guess.

There's this too which I have and can only listen to in the right circumstances:

Brokenhearted Dragonflies: Insect Electronica from Southeast Asia CD SF013

There is a legend in Burma stating that swarms of male dragonflies gather to join in choruses of high-pitched tones to court their mates. The ones that don’t succeed in mating eventually scream so loud that their chests explode and they drop dead to the ground. These recordings are a tribute to this legend. Droning cicadas, dragonflies and other insects display their charm as masters of the High Frequency Airwaves recorded live and unprocessed by Tucker Martine in the lush settings of Laos, Thailand, and Burma.

Duracell almost got me banned from a place I did shows at because he was smoking weed instead of packing his stuff up. He's good though.

Radio Libertaire - Paris radio from the Anarchist Federation. they definitely play noise, but I don't know if any of it is from French bands, they ~~never~~ hardly ever announced their playlist. (though I did get on tape a couple of their djs discussing AC & "if you want to learn english, this band is called.."

one of my former housemates in paris makes noise/experimental electronic music & now has a studio there. he's japanese though.

Most of the Sublime Freqencies comps are put together (curated) by Alan Bishop from Sun City Girls. A shady underworld traveller, sure, but definitely working in the US. Not to say that the comps aren't great.

Jacques Thollot - 1971 Quand le son devient trop aigu,il fau

Jacques Thollot's 1996 comeback album on Nato, Tenga Niña, came with a booklet containing some archive photographs of the child prodigy drummer sitting rather alone behind a kit three times his size, a rather forlorn reminder that Thollot's greatest work will always remain his solo albums, of which this 1971 date on the mythic Futura label (home of several obscure cult bands including Mahogany Brain, Red Noise, and the enigmatic Fille Qui Mousse) is arguably the finest. The album title, which translates as When the Sound Becomes High-pitched, Throw the Giraffe into the Sea, gives a clue of the kind of inspired surreal madness Thollot concocts on these 14 tracks, only five of which go beyond the three-minute mark. Playing all the instruments -- percussion, piano, organ, and assorted electronic manipulations, including some tape effects Robert Wyatt and Brian Eno would have been proud of -- Thollot joins a select band of French avant-garde multi-instrumentalists (Jacques Berrocal, Roger Ferlet, and Pierre Bastien). With the exception of a medley of songs culled from Kurt Weill, and a brief piece credited to Don Cherry -- a seminal influence on this generation of French post-free improvisors -- all the compositions are Thollot originals. Wyatt's distinctive vocals would not be out of place on tracks like "Cécile" and "Qu'ils fassent un village, ou bien c'est nous qui s'en allons," and the scattery drums of "Aussi long que large" also recall the Soft Machine drummer's virtuosity. Sometimes wistfully nostalgic, "Quiet Days in Prison" -- who's on cello, by the way? -- clearly references Olivier Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time," sometimes plain disturbing (the strange tortured vocals on "Virginie ou le manque de tact"), but consistently thought-provoking and supremely musical, this is an album that no self-respecting connoisseur of improvised music should be without.
