Music for insiders


Some albums by bands I have hardly ever listened to at all up till now but which have been praised by some connaisseurs. What is essential, what is overhyped? Any tips?

  • Dead C - Trapdoor Fucking Exit
  • Merzbow - 1930
  • Boredoms - Super Ae
  • Mr Bungle - Disco Volante
  • PIL - Metal Box
  • Disco Inferno - DI Goes Pop
  • Stockholm Monsters - Alma Mater
  • Bark Psychosis - Hex
  • AR Kane - i
  • Slint - Spiderland
  • Seefeel - Succour
  • Piano Magic - Low Birth Weight

 
 

Slint...

...is the only one of the bunch that I have. I think it's important from a musical evolution point of view - there's some serious emotion coming out of this album - but it's not something I can listen to very often.

But yeah, Mogwai should be paying them royalties.

boredoms - super ae

Yeah, either that or vision creation newsun. Each of them need to be listened to completely, rather than as separate tracks. These are nothing like the pop tatari-era stuff, in case you'd heard it and hated it...

Seefeel

Re Seefeel, I'm a big fan of Succour, though it definitely gets mixed reviews and you well might prefer the Polyfusia EP. Succour is a very gloomy, oppressive album, full of dark and veiled sounds.

I haven't heard Piano Magic's Low Birth Weight but I definitely recommend their excellent A Trick of the Sea EP on Darla. The second track, "Halloween Boat", is gorgeous. (There are only two tracks on the album, each of which is however 18-20 minutes long.)

piano magic

low birth weight is a perfect example of something tragic and something beautiful, i have most of there releases and this is by far the best thing they have done. deffintely pass on the new one, it is sad when these amazing bands who try and do the electronic thing and just don't hit it for example the new telescopes album again pass but pick up higher and higher, full of layered guiters and white noise.
