Conrad was my idol for years. Fantastic Glissando is a contender for my favourite noise album of all time.

I just realized that Reich was a philosophy major at Cornell, where I got my PhD in philosophy. I knew he went to Cornell, but I figured he studied music. Easily my favorite living composer.

LOL! Neon, that's classic. (The actor in that picture went to the school I teach at now.)

Terry Riley is a composer I have neglected. I'm trying to change that right now, but I don't have access to those rare items you guys mentioned.

Pavement - Crooked Rain x2
also, I've decided on a three song max for Hate Eternal. I think the production might not be entirely right so I have to turn it up too loud to get the goods.

Seriously, just pick up rainbow in curved air and shri camel. Both are super cheap on CBS and quite good. Just not the Terry Riley ever.

whats the other terry riley common? ... in c or summat. thats ok as well but more jazz piano drone than space.. i like space moar!!

i has been listening to amon dull 2 "phallus dei" and "yeti" haven't listened to them in a couple of months so i needed the commune jam vibe! i 've still never managed to track down any of amon dull's first incarnation on lp for cheap but i've always wanted to hear them so much ..i've managed to pick up all the amon dull 2 lp for cheap over the space of a couple of years but the german og releases for amon dull are impossible to find in the wild in uk record/charity shops/bootsales

also been rinsing a bit of hp lovecraft , edgar broughton and third ear band..

These are great. I'm most interested in the repetitious patterns, so In C is also an excellent find. In some ways this stuff is more interesting than Reich-- I'm not sure how I overlooked it. I think I'd heard enough really mediocre minimalist stuff at one point to warrant a break and never got back to it.

i jump into the abyss of psychedlic jamming and wish it would never end.. being in a psychedlic jam is even better!

The thing about pschedelic jams is that the band are generally enjoying it more than the audience. We used to do a 10 minute psychedelic version of Buck Rogers by Feeder in my old band, and the crowd would always just stand there dumbfounded for the duration. We were having the time of our lives though.

Now I'm really in the mood for some Acid Mothers Temple.

MENTAL ILLNESS IS TRUELY A GREAT THING FOR MUSIC!

Pärson Sound FTW

For all the Krautrock talk (this is old and familiar territory, right?) I hope everyone caught the issue of a live performance by Harmonia from 1974. Just came out a few months back is as essential as any prime album from this scene.

Acid Mothers Temple? Hard to take them seriously anymore (and that same was true of them 6 years ago), but La Novia is genuinely worthy. I have it on vinyl but wish I'd picked up the CD when I had the chance. Now of course it is completely unavailable, which is a pity.

charlie chong · Post by **charlie chong** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 8:32 pm

anyone of you weirdoes want to be test subjects for my lofi psychedelic horror prog electronic drone hip hop concept album recorded in 3 weeks under the influence of mental illness???
i start off the album by shooting myself in te head with a gat

i dont really care about hip hoppers opinions cos hip hop is shitty music nowadays.. i would rather just have open minded music fans opinions..
i think anyone who likes early 90s hip hop psychedelia,horror sci fi films , drones and ultramagnetic mcs should like this shit..
pm for a link if you want and dont worry about slagging me off and hurting my feelings cos i have none

or i canz post the link here if more than one want to check.. it has had a prelimenary mix down now as well
it's littered with game references for all the thug nerds too!..
at one point i start rhyming over a streets of rage2 sample then i blow up bowsers castle and turn the whole beat backwards and start spitting some ill robotronic metaphors!
i think that was when i though5 i was neo in the matrix

lol has anyone been saint anger'd yet?

charlie chong · Post by **charlie chong** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 9:26 pm

alreet heres teh link it's about 38 mins long but i've probbly recorded about another 20 mins since then but i may just give the stuff i recorded under the mentalness away free because it was a beautiful out of control magical scary trip for me and a lot of the stuff i'm talking about was happening to me or at the same time as i was recording .. i also cheated death by electric shock (i was sent flying across the room but no burns or owt) on about the third day into this shit. i also cried with happiness and sometimes a little sadness about 10 + times while recording this and i haven't cried since my mum tried to commit suicide in 2003

http://www.divshare.com/download/4121738-e07

heres the (unfinished artwork as well) this actually used to have my studio shit on top but it was on the day me and marie moved my studio onto a table i found on the street that i started bugging out. mebbes the combination of teh new setup and a crazy bitch with more issues than me in tow that sent me skyrocketing..most of this was drawn in 2-3 months before i went mental by me and 3 or 4 of my friends.. it's mad how prophetic it is to the album especially the visualize your own death eye that my friend drew

if you like this shit i can gie you more links to the stuff i've done since i got back to earth.. it's less frantic but my doors of perception have deffo been opened.. i even taught myself to play live jazz drums on the mpc drum sampler within 10 minutes and i've never messed with time signatures other than 4/4
