Cell-Scape
''Cell-Scape'' is the sixth album by Melt-Banana. It features electronic elements and marks a musical shift to a more accessible, hi-fi sound. ''Cell-Scape'' also features some of the longest songs written by Melt-Banana, including "Shield for Your Eyes" at 4 minutes long. Yasuko sings with her "real" voice in the chorus of "If it is the Deep Sea, I Can See You There". The last track on the album is uncharacteristic of Melt Banana's typical musical style; it is a 10-minute-long electronic ambient song. The song "Chain-Shot to Have Some Fun" was featured in an animated short movie called "Emily and the Baba Yaga". There was no drummer on this album, and all the drums were programmed on a drum machine. Some of the patterns, however, were inspired by Dave Witte Dave Witte (born August 11, 1971) is an American drummer. He is known for his work in numerous extreme metal or hardcore punk bands including Municipal Waste, Melt-Banana, Discordance Axis, Black Army Jacket, Birds of ...

Teeny Shiny
''Teeny Shiny'' is the fifth album by Melt-Banana, released in 2000. It contains reworkings of two older songs. "First Contact to Planet Q" was previously recorded as "Sham Bazar", and "Warp, Back Spin" was previously recorded as "Crackhead Up or Down". Both of the songs have the same lyrics but are musically different. They appeared on the Japanese compilation CD ''Lo-Fi ~Electric Acoustic & Radical~'', released in 1995. At the beginning of "Free the Bee" there is a sped-up sample from the 1984 film '' Repo Man''. Critical reception ''The Sunday Times'' deemed the album "reliably unhinged, old-school Japanese noise madness ... 11 collisions of electric-toothbrush guitars, police-siren solos, Gatling-gun drumming and kindergarten screeching."

Noise Rock
Noise rock (sometimes called noise punk) is a noise music, noise-oriented style of experimental rock that spun off from punk rock in the 1980s. Drawing on movements such as minimal music, minimalism, industrial music, and New York hardcore, artists indulge in extreme levels of distortion through the use of electric guitars and, less frequently, electronic instrumentation, either to provide percussive sounds or to contribute to the overall arrangement. Some groups are tied to song structures, such as Sonic Youth. Although they are not representative of the entire genre, they helped popularize noise rock among alternative rock audiences by incorporating melodies into their droning textures of sound, which set a template that numerous other groups followed. Other early noise rock bands were Big Black, Swans (band), Swans and the Jesus Lizard. Characteristics Noise rock fuses Rock music, rock to noise, usually with recognizable "rock" instrumentation, but with greater use of di ...

Experimental Rock
Experimental rock, also called avant-rock, is a subgenre of rock music that pushes the boundaries of common composition and performance technique or which experiments with the basic elements of the genre. Artists aim to liberate and innovate, with some of the genre's distinguishing characteristics being improvisational performances, avant-garde influences, odd instrumentation, opaque lyrics (or instrumentals), unorthodox structures and rhythms, and an underlying rejection of commercial aspirations. From its inception, rock music was experimental, but it was not until the late 1960s that rock artists began creating extended and complex compositions through advancements in multitrack recording. In 1967, the genre was as commercially viable as pop music, but by 1970, most of its leading players had incapacitated themselves in some form. In Germany, the krautrock subgenre merged elements of improvisation and psychedelic rock with electronic music, avant-garde and contemporary classi ...
