RxRy - Snw Mltr

it has been a month since i last posted here. i am not very good at this "daily" thing, am i? :P

anyways, very mysterious artist, RxRy, but very good!

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times

thought this would make for a nice early-halloween post... seriously, don't listen to this album if you aren't ready to sell your soul to satan in exchange for listening to one of the craziest avant-death-metal groups that ever existed. enjoy >:D

p.s. take a look at the lyrics for some of the songs on this album for extra wtf-ness... here is the below song's lyrics.

Alva Noto - Univrs

alva noto is back for another glitchy, heavily processed data trip with his weirdo spoken-word-french-artist-guy. an obvious followup to the amazing unitxt, this album gets a bit further into noise territory than the previous one.

Pan Sonic - Kesto (234.48:4)

ogosh :o

Secret Mommy - The Mall

the new EP by sampler-extraordinaire, secret mommy. as the name suggests, all samples are taken from field recordings at a canadian shopping mall.

Tera Melos - Patagonian Rats

hmmm

Naked City - Radio

this album is an great introduction to the madness that is john zorn. it begins with some nice blues/jazz influenced tunes, slowly incorporating insanity into the music, to the point where you can actually almost bear the most extreme of naked city's music. note that this album is still extremely tough to grasp, as john zorn is not exactly a great intro to noise music; he is known to give even the most seasoned harsh avant-garde veteran a severe migraine... but still, this album is a classic, and if you can get past the blaring saxophone and painful free jazz improvisations, you will see the awesomeness that john zorn is. that said, beware the album "torture garden". not even joking. it will hurt your brain if you haven't heard at least this album first :o

impu - Let it all flowers

very good, happy music :3

http://iqtu.com/ is his website, all his music is pay-what-you-want and streamable, enjoy!

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (')

<3 <3 <3

if you can find it, there is also a combo of this album and overnite sensation, that is definitely a bonus :)

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

this isn't so much a "suggestion" as a "requirement". seriously, if you don't listen to this album now, then leave this blog, fast and bulbous.

The Book Of Knots - Traineater

Tipper - Wobble Factor

squelchy! :D

Bee Mask - Elegy For Beach Friday

if aliens wrote music, this is probably kind of what it would sound like... recently i've been getting into drone music, which is basically music that is not as much focused on melody or rhythm as it is on texture and dynamics, and i must say, this is a freaking good drone album, with tons of freaky alien soundscapes, so if you are into drone, you should definitely get this album. i like it so much, that i actually recommend buying it (i did, and ok, maybe thats just cause it was just released and wasn't on any big torrent sites yet, but whatever, it's still worth it). this album is a masterpiece :D

Bop - The Amazing Adventures Of One Curious Pixel

happy fourth of july, americans who read this! everyone else, WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM!?!? D:

jokes aside, this album has a very unique minimalist style that takes influence from many genres. sadly, this does not seem to be a concept album (though it would make a great one!), but the album flows nicely, and it never gets boring. great album, a+++, would pirate again.

Fantômas - Suspended Animation

uhh whattt?

mike patton strikes again(!)

The Tape-Beatles - The Grand Delusion

pioneers in sampling, layering, and having a complete disregard for all musical copyrights ever made, the tape-beatles were the first musicians (other than negativland, and perhaps john cage) to create music categorized in a genre known as soundcollage, or plunderphonics, if you'd rather call it that. they used analog tape recorders to steal from pretty much everything, often messing with it, and blending it with other samples, nearly beyond the point of recognition. they also experimented with other forms of media, notably a very interesting audio-visual technique that involved 3 or more projectors overlapping each other's images (seen below), creating visual collages almost as strange as their audio ones!

Venetian Snares - Cubist Reggae

ok, i understand many of my readers have a strong aversion to anything by venetian snares (for some weird reason), which is why i haven't posted anything by him here yet, but i must say that this is quite different from snares' usual amen break slicing madness. harshly chopped samples from reggae music intersect with warm analog sounding synths and strange chanting to create a very unique sound that one would definitely not expect from aaron funk. a very enjoyable ep, whether or not you like funk's previous works.

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.

Binray - Cederoth Bloodstopper

woahhhhh 0_0

by the way, its free over here: http://www.archive.org/details/ntt033

The Residents - Gingerbread Man

concept album by the residents with some really great (and really bizarre) lyrics. this originally had some sort of computer program to go along with the album with freaky avant-garde graphics flying all over the place, but i find that the album is great even without it. "everything was okay before mtv" :)
