Re: Musical Hints



[quote user="merz"]'industrial' doesn't need a revival: ) In part because it never died. there is a fairly consistent stream of things that fall into that channel from the swell maps, EN and test dept in the 70's and 80s to stuff like skullflower/godflesh in and through the 90s to a respectable number of present-day outfits. its a bit harder to talk about stuff like this as a coherent classification anyway since experimental music has ways of becoming just about anything (23 skidoo comes to mind here?) Not sure it could ever lend itself to being flavour of the moment quite the way all the urban-hippie psych-folk rubbish has been spun of late.
[/quote]</p>

Godflesh were brilliant. I like bits of the Jesu albums as well. After the new wave and post punk revival moments in New York a few years back, I thought I was bound to hear Whitehouse or Skinny Puppy out somewhere. It seemd to be the next logical step. I even remember a solid effort to kickstart an acid house weekly (at Spa!). Industrial certainly never went away, I saw a guy with a Jack Dangers haircut the other day, but I would have loved to see it become a fad instead of "urban-hippie psych-folk rubbish". That stuff is horrendous. I did just buy tickets to see Spiritualized Acoustic Mainlines so I'm happy.

Re: Musical Hints

Flying Saucer Attack were brilliant. Their name, the design of their album sleeves, the obligatory Wire cover - along with Main and Seefeel, I think FSA did a great job of figuring out what to do next after dreampop/shoegazer. That HTRK is nice!

Re: Musical Hints



wow, i'm really surprised that there are so many people on this site that have similar music tastes as i do.
</p>

to the person who posted about beta-lectum ring, they're a very nice label. i actually run a record label called plates of sound. i've released two records (experimental electronic music/musique-concrete).
1) philip samartzis - soft and loud lp
2) bernard parmegiani/philip samartzis split lp
if anyone's interested in either, i can give you a deal on the records. :)</p>

as far as listing bands/acts/artists i'm going to flesh this list out in a bit, but here's what i have:
</p>

noise
1. hair police</p>

2. burning star core - spans many genres
</p>

[drone]
1. double leopards</p>

2. phill niblock</p>

3. keith fullerton whitman</p>

[fahey-worship/psych]
1. six organs of admittance</p>

2. james blackshaw</p>

3. jack rose</p>

4. tetuzi akiyama</p>

[psych rock]

1. major stars</p>

2. psychic paramount</p>

3. high rise/mainliner</p>

[modern composers]
1. glenn branca</p>

2. rhys catham

Re: Musical Hints



jack rose definitely does the fahey worship extremely well. although tetuzi akiyama definitely falls into the psych realm of guitar playing, but his shit is FIERCE!
