I believe Nurse With Wound crop up more in the experimental/industrial music
camp. The guy behind NWW, Steven Stapleton, uses found sound, tape loops and
the like. I don't have any discs myself, but I've seen some discussion on r.m.i
that suggests a pretty diverse output - some discs plain unlistenable noise
or nothing but cut-up theory  (eg _A Sucked Orange_), while others are said to be rather excellent dark ambient soundscapes (_Thunder Perfect Mind_, _A
Soliloquy for Lilith_)
