    vangelis help!

    seconding Hamarplazt's recommendations to the letter would add his debut album 'Earth', where he's transitioning from the prog rock of Aphrodite's Child & still rocking quite a bit. & also would throw in that Espers edition of 'Blade Runner' as mentioned above -- assembled using a print of the...

    Truckstop Gondelero

    the "Ruckzuck" vinyl bootleg Woebot mentions starts with the entirety of the Beat Club TV performance, a ~15 minute piece originally called "Rückstoss-Gondoliere", a title which was telephoned into "Truckstop Gondelero" by english speaking bootleggers. Then it moves to three songs (45 minutes...

    Truckstop Gondelero

    the original master of this has emerged and is making the rounds as a CDR boot called 'kraftwerk - K4' earlier bootlegs sound like and undoubtedly were recorded by fans off the radio, the songs have fades & the tape speed is slow. I think someone finally made a run on the Radio Bremen shelves...

    a few feldman obsessives here: http://ilx.wh3rd.net/thread.php?msgid=4834901 a pretty good round table on good modern composition from the last 15-20 years (though a lot of people cheat: and as with all ILM-listathons, you must remember to find & concentrate on the posters you trust the...

    hamarplazt's nailed it: B2 Unit is the masterpiece, Esperanto is the other weird one that's even further out sonically & structurally, & Thousand Knives is great pre-YMO jazzy lounge techno (buy this one on vinyl, it sounds great at 45 rpm). 'Illustrated Musical Encyclopaedia' & 'Left-Handed...

    Les Rallizes Denudes

    'heavier than a death in the family' is actually 'live 77' whittled down to a single disc but I'm with you, 'people can choose' is too good not to have anyone who finds a copy of either should not hesitate ILM threads: http://ilx.p3r.net/searchresults.php?board=2&q=rallizes&mode=threads

    Heldon ?

    my favorites out of all of them are the last two solo records before his long break: Iceland and L'Ethique. especially Iceland. that one just floors me.

    Les Rallizes Denudes

    'live 77' just reissued and you certainly can't go wrong with that. Got my copy a few weeks back and I have been soaking in it. http://www.forcedexposure.com/bin/search.pl?search_string=rallizes+denudes&searchfield=artist For me, after 10 minutes, I was just beginning to get the point. Many...

    the politics of "peak oil"

    http://www.willyoujoinus.com/advertising/print/ Chevron's new print advertising campaign in Wall Street Journal, the Economist, Financial Times, US News & World Report 'Will You Join Us'... now there's a slogan the tiny world map that shows where the remaining oil is in the lower left corner...

    I think this is a respectable list for any record label, from memory maryanne amacher 'sound characters' (first commercial release of any amacher album, after 30-40 years of work -- thanks zorn, I know it couldn't have been easy!) otomo yoshihide 'anode' 'cathode' arnold dreyblatt 'animal...

    as a consumer I almost sympathize with you; there's a lot to distrust. uselessly hyperbolic ad copy on every foldover; flooding the market (so many releases, and seemingly the only thing most record stores will fill their 'experimental' sections with, to the detriment of smaller labels)...

    I am a big fan of the drone, and might just make that mix, but that's for another thread though I will offhandedly recommend this if you like Playthroughs: http://www.mimaroglumusicsales.com/browsebyartist.php?artistlast=garlo&artistfirst=&arraynum=384&limit=20 as well as plug this ILM thread...

    Ligetti, Berio, Nono, Feldman, Takemitsu

    love that David Hykes record 'hearing solar winds'. later stuff goes new-age scary but that record goes deep. definitely crucial if you like 'stimmung'. recently transferred these, having given up hope that they'll ever be reissued on CD. my favorite recordings of each piece. could have...

    got my copy last night... glad I finally ordered it (my curiosity was peaked when it was posted to the ILM top 100 ambient list) you can hear how it relates to the contemporary sequencer dance music of the time but instead of building the sound up with extra production he just smears the lines...

    I did feel bad after posting that. It was a monday morning. Everyone's got a version of 'the list', I know I've got one, and I cross things off it all the time with no small amount of relief -- 'ok, good, <i>I just don't like this</i>'. I was just feeling defensive about the summary dismissal...

    I know the previous post is just lifelong rock critic shoptalk joking, but self-appointed gatekeepers joking about this shit, well it does make me sick of course. Ha ha ha, 'another one to cross off the list'. Sometimes I think I'm hanging out on these boards to innoculate myself against the...

    the Wergo sounds fantastic, it's definitive. Haven't compared the Wergo release of 'Touch' to the Mode release, but the Mode release includes 'Cloudless Sulfur', so it wins. The Wergo tacks on 'Jacob's Room', a brutal comedown.

    Touch is probably the best / most accomplished one overall. The Buchla pushed to its limits. It's all analog but the details are so sharp it foreshadows digital. Basically if the back cover says Buchla, then buy it: Subotnick mastered that machine. I hear many of the organizational &...
