thats exactly what that list looks like: a series of
recommendations by other people and not a single
contribution from your own personality =D

Ok, you're missing Carcass's "Necroticism" and "Heartwork"
as well as Arcade Fire's "Funeral".

wanna go halfers on Ikue Asazaki - Utabautayun?
you can keep the cd, I'd just like the mp3s
too damn pricy and only cdjapans got it (i think)

I only mention this because it seems right up your alley :)

Good to see you have Slint - but were the fucking hell are
your Clash and Stooges and Germs CDs?? Clash -"The Clash",
Stooges - "Funhouse", Germs - "M.I.A."

thanks : )

i've heard a bit of Earth, haven't got an album yet but i
like it.
The Arcade Fire is not really my thing.
i remember a song from Broken Social Scene i've heard years
ago... i think i like.
Carcass is on my "to check" list.

check out their album, Extra-Capsular Extraction and the new
re-issue of Sunn Amps And Smashed Guitars. both are great
and relatively straightforward.

You're missing some of steve albini's great bands.

Pick up big black - 'atomizer' and shellac - 'at action
park' to begin with.

Based on the Coil/Cabaret Voltaire/Nurse with Wound and all
that, I think you'd like Eyeless in Gaza, Tuxedomoon, Der
Blutharsch, Rasthof Dachau, some other stuff. There's always
''some other stuff'', it's great. You have gewd taste in
music.

You've covered the tip of the popular "independent" music
iceberg, the only pleasant suprise in there was Napalm
Death's "Scum".

The Sea And Cake / Sam Prekop

American Experimental Indie Rock, slightly electronic and
rather relaxed.

and Gary Wilson

he recorded a big hit new wave album in 1977, then did
nothing and released his second album in 2004.
you can watch his new great music video here:

Sorry, I was being mean (again). I was pleased to see Napalm
Death in there, not saying they're obscure. Oh, who can I
think of you need to hear....

you've got no Godflesh ("Pure"), no Jesus Lizard ("Head",
"Goat"), no Jesus & Mary Chain ("Psycho Candy"), you haven't
got "Isn't Anything" by My Bloody Valentine, Seam
("Headsparks")... oh this will never work.

i've got a track of Eyeless In Gaza i don't like that much
(although of course one track is not enough to see the whole
picture), now Tuxedomoon seems interesting... any particular
album recommendation? (is Desire a good one? this one
seems available easily)

i have some Primus tracks, haven't got any album yet but i
quite like it.
i already have three Naked City albums and some other John
Zorn projects (my favourite so far being Masada - Masada
Strings
and Electric Masada on the 50th Birthday
celebration series are great by the way) : )
and i already have Young Team by Mogwai as well, good
stuff.
Broadcast, i don't have anything by them but i liked what
i've heard.

i pretty definitely am going to get something by the Stooges
and the Melvins (i'm thinking Raw Power and Stoner
Witch
respectively), and i already downloaded In The
Court Of The Crimson King
by King Crimson (i'll sure buy
some things as well but i won't be able to afford
everything)... Soundgarden doesn't seem half bad either, and
Pavement, and Godflesh and a lot of others... don't like
what i've heard of Interpol nor Bauhaus nor The Doors that
much...

etc.

'In The Court Of The Crimson King' seems to be loved by
many, but honestly, i don't think it's King Crimson's best
album... i'd recommend 'Lark's Tongues In Aspic' or 'Red'
instead :)

also, i really think you need to check out Lightning Bolt!
a few LB tracks available for dl here
plus, some live stuff

those are really good - i recommend those!

a serious lack of industrial music happening here.

but that's okay. you'd probably like death from above 1979. maybe.
i dunno. give 'er a try. or something.

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking but I forgot my
number one rock album. SWANS - "Public Castration is a Good
Idea". Heaviest album ever.

i've heard of this band many times... and The Young Gods, a
swiss band i like a lot, took their name from a Swans' song
from what i've heard... will check this one out as well.

What Gaza song did you hear, out of curiousity? They're
pretty eclectic so grant them an album worth of songs before
you make up your mind. And it also depends on what album.
Most of their stuff is post punk or some sort of dark jangle
pop, with a REALLY ''80s'' vocalist. They have an album
called ''Pale Hands I Loved So Well'' that gets rid of the
drums and guitars and traditional song structures, it's
awash in Goth and ambient synths. It's the good emo. Maybe
you'd like that one, it's by FAR my favorite, but I like all
their stuff a lot. The vocalist is an acquired taste
though.

Tuxedomoon is one of my all-time favorites, and they're all
over the map and super charismatic so recommending something
feels uncool. My favorites are Half Mute and Desire, lots of
lo-fi electronic elements, and they work a lot of jazzy and
classical stuff into the mix. So yeah if you can get the
latter, gopher it. They're pretty odd so I dunno how you'll
like it, but you've heard weirder.

The guy that listed the Soft Machine is on to something. SM
+ Robert Wyatt's solo career is A++++ stuff.
