As far as Wolf Eyes, I do dig Human Animal, Burned Mind, and a couple more CDr's. I think that the aura, mood, atmosphere of noise is important as well, not just composition, which I guess has to do with the approach to listening & composing/imporov. Just seems it a 20 minute thrust most of the time. I mean why not tape slices, slammed up against walls of sound, against fucked up pedals & samplers? Just don't rely on a single trick, or even the techniques alone. All of this needs to be combined. Why rule anything out? Personally I like using traditional nice electronic instruments (Voyager malfunctions?), used in a noise(y) fashion, along with cheap stuff...

A good critical point about Merzbow. Taken at a whole, his massive discography shows a diverse array of noises, but if you listen to a 2 or 3 albums in a row it does seem like he's retreading the same ideas over and over. He makes shifts in approaches but they aren't exactly swift, and his palette doesn't usually seem to broaden as he often slowly moves to a different limited set of variables.
Aesthetically, I agree with your choice of approaches as a musician. I too enjoy making music that is noisy more than "noise music".
