If i don't get to hear this in the next 2 weeks i'm coming round your house :D

ohhhhhhh GAS- i'm beyond-anxiously awaiting the arrival of the boxset. Konigsforst is just one of the sublime slabs of ambient melancholy ever and ur absolutely otm as regards MBV- it is some of the foggiest music ever recorded. And of course, both we're products of ecstasy whether they like it...

first album was a slice of pure strange genius. then the re-recorded version with real instruments just seemed like the most bizarre joke. second album was incredible disappointment. So this is sounding pretty crap then?

my god- that first mafia underground comp was the absolute shit- insane technogothic collage- and you say more of this coming out- that is some seriously exciting news!!!

oh wow, thats excellent thanks for that Noel and yeah thats a very good point about the technical/theoretical- a dumb separation by any means and even more so with this stuff- talk about a labour of love. Also, as if by magic- for those is London- ORAMICS...

so what do we get then- does anybody have any idea- new stuff or golden oldies? TBH, i got so excited about their reappearence that i didn't notice the link to ATP who of course specialise in those dont look back efforts which really suck- i hate canonising music as classic and doing these...

yeah, i was going to mention hymnen and the beatles and thanks loads for the Hegarty ref- i remember him now- i'm heading straight there... OHM is one of the greatest comps ever- i got it with the additional dvd too which makes me happy all the time. The Sub Rosa comps are great too but...

NO no that sounds perfect- thanks alot as i really would not have found my way to that. hahahah for sure. I don't exactly do my Saturday Night Fever strut, shaking my ass and brandishing my exciting new Basil Kirchin reissue. I mean, that IS how i met my wife but you know, i'm getting old now-...

because of the nature of it, because there must be so much stuff out there and almost impossible to find other than the usual suspects, what can you do anyway? I have so many of them now and i love the lot- whoever is doing the sourcing and the MMS store whispers about some Pynchonesque cabal...

thinking in reverse... reading about it, concrete takcled sound entirely differently to people like cage- cage is obsessed with allowing natural sounds speak for themselves (whatever that means) and concrete has everything as malleable and removed from the source. So plunderphonics i guess...

apologies for repeating from a thread i started today but i didnt realise this one was up and running so i t makes sense to post here. Anyway, my current faves- After Guernica by Morris Knight- electronics, all manner of weird ass instrumentation, long-form poetry about lost mankind and voices...

thanks for all that- funnily enough the reason i'm asking is cos i fully intend to explain exactly what it is i like about it and yeah, i realise its hipster credentials. I have the Roads book and stuff by Stockhausen and articles by the bigger names as well as Labelle's book on sound art and...

does anybody know of any decent books detailing the history of experimental electronic music (as in tape, concrete etc). I've been really getting into the Creel Pone label- the stuff is so cheap and a real labour of love and i think the guy behind it makes next to no money from it. Some of...

ha awesome, you nailed it- JOOLS HOLLAND. Its hard to work out which part of that "show" i hate the most but i think it must be the beginning bit when everyone does there what-we-need-is-a-great-big-melting-pot jam. That sucks much worse than death. Oh, yeah, the audience. If Holland wheeled...

well i think they suck and i hate all indie rock... oh... that would explain it i guess. oh alright, some of Murray Street and A Thousand Leaves- i concede- i forgot about them. But then, the thread is about sacred cows so it still stands- i don't think i've ever read a negative review of them...

and radiohead- dear god- could anybody really that miserable still even be alive? sod off.

maybe we should start a sonic youth are shite thread- seriously- not a decent fucking note since Goo and half of that was nonsense of the highest order. and that was over 16 fucking years ago. Kill Yr Idols indeed.

Mike Patton put this truly great comp out a few years back:

oh my god- standby by for 4 years of total fucking chaos :(:(:(:(:(:(

Maybe there should be some kind of dissensus knighthood system?
