that totally depends on which 2 or 3 records you were to listen to, if you were to listen to aquanecromancer, followed by 1930, followed by rainbow electronics you'd listen to three totally different sounding records that don't touch at all on his ultra harsh noise stuff (e.g. pulse demon) his digital rythmic stuff (e.g. merzbeat) or the animal sampling stuff, the any random sounds thrown together style of his early records, the stuff he did wth a vocalist... etc.
one thing that struck me recently was listening to noise records from the 80s and realising how they are far more conceptually driven and more varied in their approaches than the majority of new stuff which tends to be more focus on atmospherics and making as much noise with a few pedals as possible
