When Chuck D proclaimed "bring the noise," I doubt that the book by Tricia Rose, Black Noise: Rap and Black Culture in Contemporary America is what he intended.
While it begins the important task of defining fl culture, it attempts to clarify by forcing contrived complexity, and ultimately engages in an incestuous dialogue between pompous scholars.
Black Noise is Tricia Rose's first book, let's hope that this sista goes on to bigger, better, and more readable things.

 Ground and Sky review - FM - Black Noise
Black Noise was the first album by Canadian trio FM.
Today, Black Noise can best be viewed as both a strong torch carrying the fading embers of late-decade prog and as a presage of the early new wave that would explode a few years away in the beginning years of the 80s decade.
What's interesting is the various echoes of other bands one can hear in Black Noise; and yet, FM does not sound like a reproduction of any of them.

A gate or noise gate is an effect that chops off low volume noise.
Noise like string squeaks, pickup hum, etc. Setting your noise gate high can make it so that none of your notes are heard through your amp except for those notes struck very hard.
If you are going to put these effects in a chain, consider putting them at the end, so that they only affect the final signal coming out of the rest of your effects.
