Category Archives: Electric Noise Twist

Not much info to be found about Electric Noise Twist, a very noisy trio, Alex Buess, Markus Kneubühler and Christoph Fringeli with a rough mixture of improvised music with a forthright powerful beat & high tech as well as trash electronics. Or as this record review states: “This album, recorded in 1989 by a trio consisting of label supremos Christoph Fringeli and Alex Buess, along with Markus Knuhbühler, marks an angular collision of jazz, rock and hardbeat music, if such a thing can be imagined. If industrial jazz didn’t exist before, then it does now! Heart-pumping drumbeats underlie fuzzy blares of noise, mixing influences from rock bass through to screaming jazz sax. The best moment comes with Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my image track? which mixes the noise, drums and almost John Zorn-styled sax very well. Some of the other tracks either lack a powerful enough or fast enough beat to really shift things along, or suffer from the general shapelessness that plagues a lot of improvised jazz. The idea’s a great one: blaring sax and/or clarinet across a powerful boombeat sounds great, but this album really only has the noise without the get-up-and-go to propel it forward quickly enough. Interesting stuff which is worth a listen, even if it doesn’t quite reach the target it seems to have set itself. ENT are hoping to start playing live extensively this year.” The Electric Noise Twist was released on vinyl by Vision (Vision 23) in 1989.
