An Anthology Of Noise And Electronic Music - First A-Chronology

a bit odd for this post, as this is not a singular album, but a collection of albums, an anthology, of noise and electronic music. a must have for any lover of noise and experimental electronic music, this anthology (of 6 different parts, the first is the only one i feature here because, well, its the first) is a very complete set of works, detailing a very complete history of the evolution of experiments in electronic music and noise. many artists, from sonic youth, to john cage, to evolution control committee, all make an appearance in this collection. this collection is a great introduction to the vast world of the eclectic electronic (heh).

Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers

mike paradinas, of µ-ziq and kid spatula, and richard d james, of aphex twin and afx, get together and make an album. awesome ensues.

The Residents - The Mole Show (Live in Holland)

the residents, an amazing avant-garde deconstructionist group/troupe of weirdos in (sometimes) matching costumes, performing one of their several bizarre live musical dramas, interspersed with comments and narration from penn jillette, of penn and teller fame. the story is, uhh, well, it seems to be about moles migrating? or something? i am not entirely sure, but is pretty interesting to try and figure out! one of the many great albums from the residents, you'll surely be hearing back from them on this blog sometimes soon :)
