Whilst I do appreciate eveyone's suggestions, and I really
do, it's not like I haven't listened to anything other than
IDM, I just want to clear that up, if indeed it needed
clearing. r40f directed me to the very good SOnic Youth
mixtape that's on their site, if that sounds good to anyone,
did to me.

Dirty is really good but not one of my faves. It's difficult
because i think their outut is consistently extremely good.

if you listen to beefheart, its like 'idm' but with real
instruments. just skip the mid seventies tragic band and
you'll be tolerable

that's why i haven't really recommended anything: how will

hasn't yet heard?

It might be time to properly listen to Beefheart. I've been
putting him off until I was 40, but, well, the world being
what it is, better get in there while you can.

It was all pretty much covered i must admit, i just wanted
to add my two cents. But he has enough for a week and then
he can absorb the other stuff over time.

Enjoy.

No sorry, I didn't mean to put you off, the thing is I've
forgotten more bands and records than .. than I can remember
so it's great to be reminded of albums and that, because...
my memory is like a sieve. There's also things that I
probably thought in 1989 "Oh right, I'll listen to that" and
then... 1000 years later, I still haven't got round to it.

After a cursory rifle through the collection, i say these
are all worth a good listen:

Electrelane - The Power Out
Early Pulp stuff, Freaks being particularly good
Espers - Espers
Pretty much anything by Low, Secret Name is a favourite
Scatter - Surprising Sing Stupendous Love
Neko Case & Her Boyfriends - Furnace Room Lullaby
Arthur Russel - World Of Echo
Smog - Knock Knock
Town & Country - It All Has To Do With It
Ultrasound - Everything Picture (the most fantastically
overwrought glam-prog i've ever heard, that makes it sound
really shite though)

You may have heard some of those, but they're all Very Good.

Ohh, Ultrasound... I always wanted to get that absurdly
overblown double album... what's the "hit" song, I love it?
Streetlights, headlights... something, I can hear it but
can't place the name? Great band. "Tiny"...

"Floodlit World", probably. The album's likely to be hella
out of print since nude went under though, so let me know if
you have trouble finding it, something can be, um,
"arranged".

Yes oh yes, those Scatter and Arthur Russell albums are some
of the Best Albums Ever and it is important to listen to
them. Please.

Captain Beefheart is great too. I'd also recommend the album
Clear Spot; it's a little more straightforward but
still very awesome.

And yes, Gainsbourg is good, especially Histoire de
Melody Nelson
.

I can't go a week without listening to IDM. I've currently
gone a few days though.

What about some country... Gram Parsons, David Allan Coe,
Kris Kristofferson, Jim Reeves, etc... that is soooo not
IDM.

not reading but: the smiths, otomo yoshihide (his jazz
quartet/quintet stuff in particular, also "ground zero"),
tool (it's good! ænima in particular), radiohead's ok
computer b-sides, leadbelly, king crimson's red and
discipline, iggy pop & the stooges, faith no more, peter
gabriel (1-3, security, so and passion), led zeppelin's
houses of the holy/swan song, every beatles album after and
including rubber soul (others are good as well, but the
quality really amps up here), afrika bambaataa
(looking for the perfect beat), ugly casanova, modest
mouse's the lonesome crowded west/moon & antarctica, james

thomas newman soundtracks, bone thugs 'n harmony, faith no
more, the supremes...everything else that i normally would
listen to when i get into a nooooooo electronic mood has
been mentioned i think. and when i get into a reeeeeeally
weird mood i listen to pascal comelade. i particularly like
this song "green eyes" he did with pj harvey, it is awesome
and super melodramatic. but good.

Well, I'm definitely in "Nooooooo electronic" mood, not
because I don't like it, but my ears are FULL, so I will
give Pascal Comelade a go as he sounds intriguing.

A lot of suggestions, a lot of quality suggestions that I am
in the process of following up on, I think we're seeing a
very broad range of artists from the very learned members of
Zilty, and for that, I, for one, am thankful. A lot of names
I have thought "I really should listen to them
sometime
", a lot of names I never heard, some
bands/artists I might just know one or two tracks of but
never listened to an album, some names I'm going to
ignore.... now, for me, appears to be the time to listen
AFRESH to the world of music, and if I come out the other
end of this week some twisted jazz freak I'll blame every
fucking one of you in here.

i think i've been getting more in a mood for guitar-based
music since like....yesterday ? i began with re-discovering
"mouth by mouth" by His Name Is Alive, finding Stone
Roses/Ian Brown....then checked some Mogwai......and now i'm
almost finishing BADMOTORFINGER by the unforgettable
Soundgarden....they still sound hard as fuck, as those....15
years ago ! ooops.

of course, there's always some wild Bauhaus,
Tortoise/Isotope217, Trans AM, Łoskot, King Crimson,

how about you ? anyone else ? ok, black metal counts too :P

i wonder if RDJ plays some acoustic guitar at home, from
time to time...
