I've been thinking about buying some CDs recently and here
is whats on my list so far.

Boards of Canada - Twoism
Bogdan Raczynski - Thinking of You
Brian Eno - Before and After Science
Chris Clark - Ceramics is the bomb
Chris Clark - Empty the bones of you

Now can you guys offer me some suggestions? I've been seeing
the name "Mum" a lot recently, is that any good?

The first Mum album you mentioned Morton seems to be pretty
expensive, and the store I'm ordering from doesn't offer it.
Anyway here is the list so far, I'm up to $102

Boards of Canada - Twoism
Bogdan Raczynski - Thinking of You
Brian Eno - Before and After Science
Chris Clark - Empty the Bones of You
Chris Clark - Ceramics is the Bomb
Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle
Underworld - Beaucuop Fish
Mum - Now We Are No One
Venetian Snares - Winter In the Belly of the Snake
Plaid - Spokes

it took me quite some effort to find that "yesterday was
dramatic" record too yes, but it's definately worth it, i
prefer it over the other one, but again they're both good

good choice that snares there, one of my favs of his

I haven't heard anything from Plaid since Double Figure.
Anything you would recomend in place of that Spokes CD?

get some Peter Gabriel, and that'll set you up nicely! :)

Peter Gabriel eh? Isn't he the one that sings "In games
without frontiers, war without tears"? Any certain album or
compilation you would suggest?

hehe, well I'm very open about my love of Peter Gabriel
here, and so yes I can suggest some nice albums for you...
not that you'll like em, cause I seem to be the only fan
here! ;)

I think Up (his latest) and Passion (a soundtrack) are his
two best albums... I haven't heard his first two yet though,
but his first few albums up to So were more progressive, so
you could check those out if you like... I own Security and
Peter Gabriel 3, and they both have excellent songs on
them... although also some I'm not that fond of... I prefer
is later stuff, So to Up...

I was thinking about buying "Up" last year, when I was
trying to get into some new stuff. Maybe I'll check some of
it out.

Have you heard those tracks he did on the Natural Born
Killers soundtrack with Nustrat Fetah Ali Khan? I think the
track was called Allah Muhammad Char Yaar.

I've heard a couple things he's done with Nusrat Fateh Ali
Khan, maybe not those songs... but I'll be sure to check
them out anyways...

Maybe I'm a bit biased, but Up is a really great album...
Peter Gabriel has done a lot of World type music, but Up is
pretty varied I think... yes you have more worldy type
stuff, but you also have some cool rock songs, some very
beautiful slower moments, etc... the production is really
stellar too... and there are some nice collaborations, one
with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and another nice one with The
Blind Boys of Alabama, a gospel group... really nice stuff!

there is also a song with Fateh Ali Khan on Passion...
amazing singer huh? Also, Youssou N'Dour (sp?) sings a bit
on Passion, and he has a great voice too... I really need to
get solo albums by these guys!...

Can someone name some CDs similar to Aphex Twin's SAW II ??
I'd love to hear some more stuff like that!

buy a weapon & go around and shoot people in the face,

also, buy a polaroid quick developing camera & just take
pictures of the people you shoot in the face

How about Vincent Gallo? Is he any good? That "When" album
looks interesting.

I've heard Meat Beat Manifesto's first 6 albums, some good
(Everything thats not Subliminal Sandwich), some bad
(Subliminal Sandwich).

Rambling Madman, no thanks, I had a CD-R of Beucoup Fish but
I threw it away, I wan't a new copy!

I can get it for like $9 with free shipping. Assuming you
are really from the UK, and that you were to give me the CD
free, it would still cost a fortune to ship it over here to
the U.S.

do you have anything by Squarepusher?
I recommend "Go Plastic" if you don't have it


 

offline Labium Sweat from United States on 2004-01-12 22:22 [#01030565]
Points: 922 Status: Regular



Yeah, I've heard lets see...
Feed Me Weird Things (Own it)
Big Loada' (Had the MP3s)
Hard Normal Daddy (Had the MP3s)
Maximum Priest (Had the MP3s)
Burning'n Tree (Had the MP3s)
Music Is Rotted One Note (Had the MP3s)
Selection Sixteen (Had the MP3s)
Go Plastic (Own it)

The only one I really liked is "Feed Me Weird Things", the
track "Journey to Reedham" was cool, and "Hard Normal Daddy"
had some good stuff too, I'm not too much into him other
than that.

ceramics is the bomb, isn't that great. The only track i
like off there is the Lord of the Dance or something like
that.

I think Spokes comes with Dial P from warpmart. Spokes is
amazing, get it.

Also get anything by Bola or Jello (same person). Great
stuff.

Free mp3 albums here

Lord of the Dance was from Clarence Park (I liked every
track on that album, by the way).
