      @@ricksell2877 It's exactly the same except for the different melody, different rhythm, different harmony, and different vocals. The bass has similarities at about the halfway mark. Many artists operate in similar musical regimes. Good call on linking these, but that doesn't make Black MIDI's song a cover. Big fan of Galas, BTW.

      @@justincarth I mean, noise as an element of music has been around since at least Cage, and even gained an element of popularity with Sonic Youth - their noise-filled (listen to Silver Rocket and hear the similarities to bmbmbm) classic 'Daydream Nation' ended up in the National Library of Congress. Noise does have an important place in the history of music, and a prestigious history itself, but it's never entirely shaken the underground, art-music roots from whence it sprung: hence the shock, the jarringness, of seeing a band like Black Midi on television.
      I do understand the difficulty in appreciating noise in music, but as with so many difficult art forms, engaging with it and developing an appreciation is inherently valuable, and expands our engagement with art. If you would like to better understand noise in music, I could suggest some albums and books.

      @@williambell9759 Perhaps the audible similarities to no-wave had something to do with it -- I mean, that little guitar fill at 1:18 could have been straight out of DNA or James Chance; the little noise intermissions remind me very much of Theoretical Girl; the engagement with pop-culture shown by most original no-wave is embodied by the playing of a rant from Big Brother through guitar pickups; and the plodding, doomy progression is textbook Lydia Lunch -- one can even hear Lizzy Mercier-Descloux in the little high-pitched guitar line that runs before the major noise break.
      Those are just little aesthetic similarities, though. What defined no-wave music was a reclaiming and subsequent destruction of previous musical aesthetics and styles -- in the late '70s and early '80s, these styles were jazz, funk, disco, blues, rock-and-roll, and punk music. The styles Black Midi seem to reclaim are math rock, post-punk, jazz fusion (I mean, listen to that drumming), elements of electronica, and even the noise-rock of Sonic Youth and their contemporaries which grew from no-wave. This appropriation and deconstruction is present in Black Midi.
      They may not be classic no-wave -- for whatever that's worth as a classification; spot the similarities between Mercier-Descloux and Mars -- but they're close enough to make your dismissal of the similarities unfounded as well as opprobrious.

The song is called “SKOTOSEME “ by Diamanda Galas. Check out the studio version. It’s insane. By the way, the bass on the original is played by John Paul Jones of Led Zepplin. Which makes it even wilder because while the other two Page and Plant were doing safe stuff John teamed up with one of the ultimate outsider artists. - PureSalem Guitars

    Obviously this band is 100% jam up. They play extremely well together… great chemistry for sure. The timing they keep is insane and it’s spot on. For a band to be full on jamming then come to abrupt silence with every instrument perfectly timed is not easy to do. It’s not just stopping altogether, they resume back to full on chaos one time and they do it multiple times. My point is this band very tight knit and technical... i mean tight tight tight. If I had to guess, I’d definitely say they been making music together since they were kids… or at least half of them.
    With all that being said, I understand the magnitude and complexity of their instrumentals. It’s insane how precisely executed and on time they are with each other. Now to my point… I wanna like them but I just can’t feel them. I don’t know what this.
