NOIR is an incredible album.

owned it a LONG time ago (on cassette). honestly don't recall much about it except that it didn't make a impression

xxxpsst: "that's the joint" is TOTALLY CLASSIC in the best way

I did too (tracked it down at the height of my U2 obsession in high school). iirc it came out in 1983 and by 1988 it already sounded really dated. Didn't listen to it much (I think The Edge only played on two tracks), but I wonder if I'd like it more now.

Wild Beasts.

I'm on a great path that began with solo Roedelius, which led me to Oneohtrix Point Never / Emeralds / side projects, the Harald Grosskopf reissue, Demdike Stare, Darkstar, etc, etc. I'm jumping back into current music in a huge way after being a bit out of it for the past several years, and it's exhilarating. I remember thinking years ago how much I loved Roedelius's tracks on "Zuckerzeit" but never having investigated his solo stuff, which was a huge mistake! (I've been a once-in-a-while reader and--less frequently--poster since 2000...)

Wbeeza - Void
Deepchord - Hash Bar Remnants
new Akron/Family with the stupid long title
Book Of Black Earth - Cold Testament

^ so awesome; you should check out the new Zombi LP, it's along the same vein as Oneohtrix/Emeralds for sure

i've been playing tons of Roedelius solo as well

lots of old stuff.

Listening to Smoke Ring for my Halo a lot. It's just comfortable.
Interesting thing about the Snake Charmer ep: Arthur Russell has a credit on it (for lyrics, I think), but yeah it's not very revelatory.

I just played Cluster & Eno's s/t last night! I found that on original-pressing vinyl about eight years ago; one of my best finds ever, and I think I paid $8 for it. The first track, "Ho Renomo," sucks you right into the mood of the thing. I'll definitely have to scope the Vladislav Delay Quartet thing, as I've been and on-and-off Sasu Ripatti fanboy ever since Vocalcity blew my head apart--gosh, quite a long time ago.

i've heard plenty of his stuff, but never Vocalcity!

here's some info on VDQ btw

yeah this is my 1st exposure to Lost Sounds; they're pretty great!

add White Hills - Black Valleys

Saw many Lost Sounds shows.
Dude in red on the cover of Black-Wave is my childhood best friend.
They were fucking incredible.

lost sounds! love black wave and, and everything else, basically. but drugs, check out memphis is dead (their debut) - rougher and dirtier, maybe not as ambitious, but lots of great tunes/riffs.

and wow, that's cool, trip. you from memphis?

uh huh

some indie rock comp on a german label from 1989. *diamonds and porcupines*. wedding present, montgomerys, go-team, bats, st.christopher, mc tells, earwigs under fire, sachiko, crocket and jones, fenton weills, pale saints, easter island, dog faced hermans, beat happening, viola crayfish, cannanes.

since i've only heard wedding present, bats, pale saints, and dog faced hermans and never heard the rest of these bands i figured i'd play it.

and, no, i don't think i've ever actually heard beat happening.
