I highly recommend the album "mellow gold" from the artist "beck". Aphex twin remixed his song "devil's haircut" (from a different album) and said it was the most normal song he's ever heard. It was. It was the wrong song. Listen to track 9 on mellow gold "steal my body home"... This song is so rich in sound, probably because not all of it is composed on computers. He uses real instruments I guess, but he sure gets strange sounds out of them. He records stuff, I think then puts that onto his computer. Steal my body home is so depressing and humorous at the same time. The melodies are so rich because they aren't computer stamped out. Then at the end he makes a hilarious composition out of pots and pans and typewriters, and funny notes that are all out of pitch. It actually has a sound quality just about equal to autechre. But while autechre on say tri rep, have to tweak their sounds forever on computers to make them right, his sounds already are tweaked and interesting because they came from real life where all the little subtle interesting things about sound come naturally. Anyway, post suggestions of good music that is not so computer oriented if you have them. |

Oh, gee, good tip there, dickface. You know what else, you should look into this guy Michael Jackson, I think he's going to be big in a few years. |

I listened to Beck for a bit..but found the same problem as I do with most commercial bands..like Bubblegum after the Initial sugar rush it all just gets gummy and flavourless and pain in the jaw on repeat use.. On the same note I find the Noise Rock bands like those on Touch and Go and Am Rep labels to be almost like the rock equivalent of Aphex and Warp and such..the same strain..of subversive, quirky, scary weirdness can be found in bands like Butthole Surfers, The Jesus Lizard, Big Black, Rapeman, Chrome, Helios Creed, Cows etc...just my personal observation... |

SWANS can be a bit heavy going for most...looove their early stuff though..m..www.. might like the side project "Skin" and "World of Skin" Strings, Accoustic guitars, Pianos operatic singer plus poetry..full of the kinda rich sounding sonic pallettes mW keeps refering to though and btw..have you tried The Legendary Pink Dots? Tear Garden? Edward Ka'spel? you might like those too mW))..$@#//<>+_ |

yeah but the Swans really early stuff is almost unlitenable it's so slow and brutal... also try My Bloody Valentine or the Classic stuff like Velvet underground or mid 70's David Bowie (like Low) |

English bands do beat us bands hands down... but not fucking Blur!!! yeah I shouldn't pigeonhole them cause they are so experimental..just like those fucking rip offs radiohead.....electronic my ass.... |

Ok, I have to admit that Radiohead's experimentationis just retreading ground that others have already troddenlong before, and it's annoying that they're widely considered as visionaries because Kid A and Amnesiac are a little more "difficult" than mainstream music. However,these albums do have some great moments in their own right (although neither is as consistently great as OK Computer.). |

Blur arent even one of my favourite bands; I just resent the labelling of all English bands as Britpop. |

I enjoy listening to the experimental trip-hop/alternative sound... ie; Portishead, Soul Coughing, and Dreadzone (although that's more "techno" than anything) I really love Soul Coughing... they've broken up, but still, to this day fucking rule. I saw them live and was greatly impressed with their sound... much better than who they were opening for... Everclear = Eversucky. |

Cool I wrote them all down. I just get tired for a brief while of the cookie cutter stamped out electronic stuff sometimes. Like in squarepusher, every drum hi hat or whatever is exactly the same, unless he tweaks it. A lot of aphex twin sounds non electronic, like Stuff off the RDJ album, cybmols sometimes hitting a bit longer than the previous cymbol hit, small flaws in the sound here and there etc. Windowlicker too. A lot of classical piano music is so good because the subtle sound quality is so detailed because it's played live. Non electric does get boring after awhile, you need the direct control over what you're doing in the electric environment. |
