  • Incapacitants WWW site, July 9, 2001:profile (The performances of Incapacitants ... are so wide-open that they explode the usual image of noise music. Along with Hijo Kaidan, Merzbow, C.C.C.C., and Solmania, Incapacitants is one of the most well known of the noise bands which started out in the early '80s)
  • All music guide to electronica, c2001:p. xii (Brief style descriptions. Noise: Sludgy, abrasive, and punishing. "Noise" is everything its name promises, expanding on the music's capacity for sonic assault while almost entirely rejecting the rold of melody and songcraft.

By the end of the '90s, a resurgence in the use of sine waves--originally explored by musique concrète artists in the '50s--became increasingly frequent among "noise" artists such as Otomo Yoshihide) p. 325, under Merzbow (guitar, effects, producer/noise, dark ambient, experimental ... one of the world's most prolific practitioners of eardrum-assaulting Japanese noise)
