i'm currently in the process of alphabetizing my record collection (something i don't know whether to be happy or despairing about...), and sorting through the B's has thrown up an old copy of 'Rock for Light', something i haven't listened to in years.
but OH MY GOD! i'd totally forgotten how incredible this record, and this band, is/was. listening to it makes 99% of the stuff around at the moment pale in comparison. i like the way there's something genuinely weird about them- the oddness doesn't sound at all contrived. but, at the heart of it, are these amazing pop songs with great melodies. and all so fucking fast...
anyway, anyone got any recommendations on similar stuff, bad brains related or otherwise? i've got 'black dots', which is great, and a mate's got a later bad brains album which apparently is gash...
