Welcome back, SheSaidDutch!

Must add four more absolutely amazing albums:

lync - these are not fall colors
fire show - above the volcano of flowers
death - symbolic
cryptopsy - once was not

I really could just listen to these four for the next month. Maybe I will.

[CMoon]

Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark -- garage black metal, just what I need

Ha! Just picked up Bathory's first today. How refreshing, almost like punk in how stripped down it is!

Also,


Ulver - Nattens Madrigal

First time I've ever heard of these guys. A little darkthrone here, but production is even nastier while being more melodic. Pretty curious about this band!

[sethsez]

Be careful with later Ulver. They're electronica now.

[CMoon]

Is their electronic stuff anygood? I was mostly interested in those first three albums by them anyway.

I've heard Ulver - Perdition City. It wasn't very interesting. A lot of saxophone, iirc.

Not really.

You know those people who won't listen to anything unless it has a tie to metal somewhere? You know, they won't listen to jazz unless the saxophone player did something with Solefald, or surf rock unless it's the quirky side project of someone who once drummed for Celtic Frost, or whose entire classical collection consists of Dimmu Borgir interludes, etc. Well, recent Ulver is electronica for those people.

Jesus! Pretty freakin' pointless.

Anyone know if Windir is worth looking into?

Checking out some Xastur over the christmas break here--I think one reviewer put it right; this is the muzak they play in hell. Regardless, I like it!

Haha. Blood Inside sounded promising from the one track I heard. Speaking of Ulver, Bergtatt is the obvious second choice. It has the folk touches of Kveldssanger but not the boring.

Man, I cannae stand Solefald.

Or Dimmu, for that matter, but Solefald's popularity is probably even more bewildering.

Just downloaded a Wolf Eyes live show and i'm pretty much blown away. Anyone else listened to 'Noise' as a genre before? Seems very concieted and pompous on paper but this is pretty interesting and will stay on my played for a good while.

Also been playing some Mamas and Papas, Tha Fall and as of tomorrow some Billy Childish and Miles Davis

Edit: Oh and Tago Mago by Can but i've got to take my copy back as Peking O skips...

Pitty.

Saw that Newbury comics is selling classic Amon Duul 2 and Neu albums for like $9 a pop. What the hell?

Yeah, just like Lazarus. :P It most certainly has been a while (8)

[quote="professor ganson"]Welcome back, SheSaidDutch![/quote]

Thanks fo the WB Prof. Just thought I'd post on this lovely forum again :)

It's been so long I can no longer quote lol. I'm been listening to some Tool for the last two days.

[Neon]

Thanks for the recommendations

Rob - where did you find the perfect teeth album, they don't even have samples anywhere for you to check out.

[Acid King]

Pungent Stench - Been Caught Buttering

Also a disc that came with the last issue of Terrorizer I bought that complements their death metal special. Lots of great older stuff. Deicide, Morbid Angel, Autopsy, Carcass...

I've listened to and made noise for some time now. It seems pompous and conceited because so many of the people that listen to it and make it are such elitist pricks.

This link should work. I think it's out of print, and this is where soulseek comes in.

Depending on how you look at it, 'noise' has been around under different names since at least the late 70's--and if you want to stretch it, maybe late 60's (what the hell is AMM's The Crypt?) Wolf Eyes however are definitely and directly connected to the late 70's industrial movement--and are still popularizing that sound.

I do generally agree about the noise people being pricks. There is this competition amongst themselves about who can be the most 'sick' or who can blow each other off the stage.

Oh, and while we are talking noise I want to be the first to go on record saying I never liked Whitehouse.

Also,


Ulver - Nattens Madrigal

First time I've ever heard of these guys. A little darkthrone here, but production is even nastier while being more melodic. Pretty curious about this band!

Yeah, that one's a classic. Definitely check out Bergtatt and Kveldssanger. Bergtatt has a range of different stuff (atmospheric + clean vocals combined with the style on Nattens), usually regarded as their best. Kveldssanger is all acoustic + clean singing, everything sounds like hymns, pretty relaxing and easy to listen to.

Other black metal stuff I've been listening to:

Peste Noire - La Sanie Des Siècles - Panégyrique De La Dégénerescence - this is my favorite black metal album of the year, simply awesome.

Taake - everything - just started listening to these guys, this is pretty much my favorite kind of black metal, whatever that is (epic yet under produced and raw; tree metal? :v).

Mgla - Presence - Relatively new band I think, more of the same type of sound, but a little more on the Darkthrone side.

Heresi - Psalm I and II - more of the same, good band.

Darkestrah - Embrace Of Memory - A little catchier than most, I'm digging this album.

Non-bm stuff:

All Shall Perish - The Price of Existence - self-labeled "deathcore" :rolleyes:, nothing really new here, but nonetheless pleasant to listen to, they've even got some cowbell!

Sunset Rubdown - Shut Up I Am Dreaming - Indie rock, sound a lot like The Arcade Fire...I might even like them more, a great album.

Unexpect - We, Invaders / In a Flesh Aquarium - Hmm, well they are certainly spastic, I'll give them that. I haven't really given them a proper listen, we'll see how they hold up after extended listening. If you like crazy off-the-wall death metal, check them out. Though they are certainly kinf of...gimmicky I guess.

My problem with them is that their metal is too theatrical. It has no punch.

Never listened to Whitehouse but know them from infamy etc, may check em out but nothing is sacred as far as i'm concerned so will get a big fat slagging off if i don't like it.

Have either of you checked out wire magazine? It's pretty obscure and indie focused but they seem to have a lot of praise for Noise and their weekly radio show (on their website for stream and mp3) features a lot of this as well as other avant garde pieces and free folk pieces etc. Presented in a nice 'you might like this tune' way rather than omg this will change your life gush.

Just listening to Miles Davis In A Silent Way, Billy Childish My First Album and John Coltrane A love Supreme

[Nemo]

"Perfect Balance" - Balance of Power
"Gordian Knot" - Gordian Knot
"Snatcher Battle" - Naota Shibata
"Gyakuten Saiban Meets Orchestra" - Noriyuki Iwadare, Naoto Tanaka, Kaori Komuro
"Energy Breaker OST" - Yukio Nakajima, Yasunori Shiono, Yusei Yamamoto

[Neon]

Unrest - Perfect Teeth

Big ups to the Rob, this is sick. And I've only listened to half so far

where did you hear about this?

Been liking the Buzzcocks as well, I taped What Do I Get? off a punk rock radio show in 8th grade, still have that somewhere

[Brian]

Paul Gilbert - Get out of My Yard

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Butcher's Ballroom

[Rob]

where did you hear about this?

Probably back when I browsed through allmusic.

[CMoon]

Have either of you checked out wire magazine?

Just paid a ton of loot to run an ad in there. They are probably the number one way for small labels to receive any attention. It took years before they started paying attention to anything on my label, but now they treat my releases very nicely.

Well you've got the death/sex obsessed ones that are just about being gross or shocking and the ones that are just goons masquerading as artists. Not to mention the extremely anal analog obsessed peoplen or the people that think pattern based noise isn't noise at all and so on and so forth. I used to post at a noise forum and there was one guy who was all about white supremacy and used to talk about how he wanted to kill children etc etc and all of his tracks were poor knock offs of Whitehouse. Eventually I just stopped posting there cause most of the people were such hellaciously pretentious tools.

About Whitehouse, I like some of their tracks. I was never a big fan of the shrieking "MY COCKS ON FIRE!!!!" or "GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!!!!" type stuff though. I think it's pretty silly actually. I haven't heard any of the newer recordings so I don't know how good their later output is.
