Guys, I just realized that this thread has been going for over a year.

Big props to the professor for creating a thread for music heads to share their tastes and recommendations with each other. Also, huge thanks to all the contributors, many of whom have turned me onto stuff I never would have heard otherwise. Cheers!

So!

V/A - free Southern Lord comp
Organized Konfusion - STRESS: The Extinction Agenda
Pailhead - Trait
The Fall - Our Nation's Saving Grace
Thrall - Chemical Wedding
The Spits - homemade comp

And all this talk of thrash metal made me bust out:

Testament - The New Order

You really must. It cost me £3 at fopp and it's fantastic.

Oh and Mad Steel Darkness, I give respect to anyone that likes the fall. It's what you need (wake up, make a buck) etc.

Right now, I am prepared to upload some Pat Benatar CDs (raided the family collection) onto my Mp3 Player. For some reason, I am addicted to her stuff.

Must say, and if I have to genreficate

music, alot of my favorite stuff is post-punk with dub influence.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 5:06 am

Estradasphere - Palace of Mirrors -- highly recommended
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Colin Blunstone - One Year -- Posted this one before, worth another. I need more great 60s/70s pop like the above two, but it's hard to find.
Watchtower - Control & Resistance -- got over the vocals, now excellent
Haniwa Chan - Kanashibari -- extremely catchy & strange japanese pop + cheesy 80s production... heaven

Alice Coltrane - Ptah, the El Daoud
Crass - Penis Envy
The Makers - The Devil's Nine Questions (instrumentals)

V/A - Amphetamine Reptile Peel Sessions

I guess that makes up for that MCMS review?

Haha! Yeah, they pissed all over me on that one. As long as they're acknowledging the music exists however, that's better than nothing...

...still, its mostly a ploy to get me to pay for advertising...fuck!

Any good recommendations in the world of extremely minimal/sparse electronica?

*edit*

I haven't listened to this one in 5 years. It is still great!

Jessamine - Long arm of coincidence

Slightly OT, but a piece of info I feel obligated to pass along for Gorguts Obscura fans:

Negativa mini CD out next month, order now.

I wish it was a new album, but 20 minutes is just long enough for me to care (a lot).
