I am struggling to think of CDs I want for Christmas. Can someone recommend good albums? Anything at all that's interesting? So far I've got on the list: M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us Yo La Tengo - That compilation greatest hits thing Arvo Part - Berliner Messe Cat Power - You Are Free Sigur Rós - HoppÃpolla Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith Any thoughts for a My Bloody Valentine child who is struggling to find music he enjoys these days. |

I want to get something by Wire too.... one of their more electonicy ones I think. |

i got these on xmas 2003: • Björk - Vespertine • Radiohead - Amnesiac and these on xmas 2004: • Björk - Debut • The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness • Underworld - dubnobasswithmyheadman okay, they're very well-known and you probably have them already but they're awesome. : ) for 2005 i think i'm going to ask for the deluxe (okay, "legacy", whatever) editions of Live at Sin-é (which i already have in mp3 but it's too good) and of Grace by Jeff Buckley... and something else but i don't know what. i could ask for Telegram by Björk. or maybe her Live Box. |

Yeah what is that Telegram Bjork thing? I found that the other day and it confused me. I have quite a few of the ones you suggested, good choices there I think. Have you got the Drawing Restraint Bjork one? That might be a nice Xmas gift. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's an EXCELLENT release. I bought is some years ago and snapped it in half while demonstrating how CDs couldn't be snapped in half. So I've bought it twice. I think its time to dig it out and get into that lonely seasonal spirit actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the Sasumu Yakota, Radiohead, Global Communication, Talking Heads ones there. You've reminded me about Pink Moon though - I meant to get it ages ago but I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. |

I would like to hear what stuff you don't like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What kind of stuff would you like recommended? Popular or cult-status. Telegram was remixes from Post. Anyway, for Bjork, I would definitly suggest Vespertine, Debut is good too though. Medulla however... was not. |

Clint, you got anything by Coil, or Current 93? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Hi - no I haven't got anything by either of those bands, although Coil I've heard endless good things about. Would you be able to select a Coil release you think is best for newcomers? Current 93 I've not heard of... don_juan_darko - I am up for anything really. I am not repelled by popular/commercial stuff. I suppose I'm just looking for stuff that will really blow my mind; I want another My Bloody Valentine, Prefuse 73, Low, Sonic Youth, etc (in terms of innovation, not sound)... I haven't heard much innovative electronic stuff recently, hence why my list is mainly rocky. But I'm open to anything new. I'm interested in Morphine, might add them to my list. I'm actually a big fan of Bjork - I quite enjoy a bit of Medulla, although its my least favourite of her last three. |

Clint, by the way I was don_juan_darko for a bit there, some confusion... A lot of Coil's stuff is actually out of circulation right now... I guess if you can get Astral Disaster is good, but expensive, if you can download their stuff check out Love's Secret Domain, and Musick to Play in the Dark 2 Current 93... I don't have anything by them yet, but I've heard that 'Thunder Perfect Mind' is supposed to be good. I've got that My Bloody Valentine album Loveless... but I guess I don't hear what everyone else is hearing... |

neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea my favourite album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can't afforrd any. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe not any genre though. what about country waltzes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mappatazee: go and listen to some johnny hallyday, patrick fiori, florent pagny and dider barbolivian (or whatever his last name is spelled like) then. this is pretty much the worst music i know. uviol: country waltzes? okay, fair enough. i'm not familiar with them but i have no desire to be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or maybe those "summer hits" that get on heavy heavy rotation everywhere, i don't know if they're worse or not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ill see if I can get some Coil from soulseek. You are mad if you don't love Loveless. I discovered it about 2 years ago and its been my fave album since then, although I don't listen to it much these days. Have you seen Lost in Translation? Maybe that will kick start your love affair with MBV. Any other suggestions from anyone? Shower me with your musical tastes. |

i think that "Only Shallow" and "Soon" are splendid, "Loomer" is very good and some others too like "When You Sleep", but a lot of other tracks are just good/ok... i can't help being a bit deceived by them (especially after Only Shallow) and thinking of Loveless as a bit lukewarm after Loomer... i think i can see why so many people love it so much though; maybe someday i'll have a revelation or something and love it as much, but so far it would get a 7/10 if i had to rate it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as for Coil, i'd recommend Musick To Play In The Dark vol.1. vol.1 before vol.2 - vol.2 is a bit like vol.1 through a strange dream/nightmare/distorted glass, it is just as good but much harder to get into (took months for me to appreciate it). i'd also definitely recommend Moon's Milk (in four phases), the double CD set including all four equinox/solstice EPs... beautiful. but yes, you're likely to have a hard time trying to get your hands on those... i wouldn't sell mine for anything. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
by the way - have you heard The Go! Team? they make me think of My Bloody Valentine on exciters and euphoriants. it's a lot more "festive" and upbeat, but very good. |

Its interesting you should mention the Go Team, as Kevin Sheilds of MBV has just done a remix of a Go Team song! Its rare he does remixes. Its on the Go Team's myspace page. But no, apart from that one, I'm not familiar with the Go Team - I've heard their album is decent though, so maybe it can go onto the list if I can find it somewhere cheapish. Hmm there's loads more gold on Loveless - I think the only one I don't care for is Touched. Have you seen Lost in Translation? Don't want to bang on about it but the Tokyo nighttime cityscape with 'Sometimes' in the foreground is just beautiful. When You Sleep and Come In Alone are some other faves. But I think Sometimes is my favourite. I'll do some scouring for those Coil releases, thanks for the recommnendations mate. :D |

Definitly check out Coil, it saddens me that Coil really never got the exposure they deserved here in the US, all the fuckheads would rather listen to U2... No offense if you like U2... I'm guilty of owning some of their stuff myself... Anyway, I didn't care much for Lost in Translation either, go figure right? I find Loveless to be about as accessible as Autechre's Confield... Some other suggestions though Emit Ecaps by Spacetime Continuum Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by Flaming Lips Adore by Smashing Pumpkins MCMXC a.d. by Enigma (all of their stuff is good) Violator by Depeche Mode I'll think of some more in a bit |

*bump* Pellarin - Tangible Abstractions (really nice melodic, ambient-ish album with creative rhythm structures. Production quality is superb...quite experimental, but still very listenable) |

Scritti Politti -Early. I want that 'coz I ain't got it yet. Those losers in Bloc Party should apologise for even listening to Scitti's "Skank Bloc Bologna". They are not worthy! |
||||||||
|

you've got to be blind not to enjoy that. fantastic visuals and a great album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

for the first time in my life, there really isnt any album i want to buy. either i'm being a bit crap at listening to new things or i've just been greedy recently and bought everything i wanted. |
