i have comp and it's pretty touchy, but some of it could go...and i've enjoyed the thuja i've heard and skygreen leopards...

has anybody wandered deeper into these waters? what are the feelings?

Blithe Sons, Bird/Olive/Ivey tree (Glen Donaldson's solo project), and Hala Strana/Steven R Smith would probably all appeal to you if you like Skygreen Leopards and Thuja. A lot of the stuff fits into a range between those two points, i think.

What I've never heard is the Pink Skulls stuff. Has anyone got any recommendations for that JA affiliated label?

i keep meaning to look into that stuff.

This stuff is kinda samey, I'm not sure why anyone would need 20 Jewelled Antler cd-r's. I like some Thuja or Skygreen Leopards here and there but mostly meh.

Blithe Sons We Walk the Young Earth
Hala Strana Hala Strana
Ivy Tree Winged Leaves
Thuja Pine Cone Temples
Blithe Sons Arm of the Starfish

honorable mention to Greg Bianchini's Muons, whose s/t CD would top my list were they official JACsters and not just close associates.

Thirding and Fourthing the Steven R. Smith records, especially Tableland - closer to Roy Montgomery's stuff than the "Jeweled Antler" sound.

i've got two pink skulls releases:

dead raven choir sevenfold songs of death - sounds like acoustic black metal covers of folk songs (i recognized "yellow rose of texas") distorted to hell and back. verr verr noisy.

leaf yard - totally slept-on californian band (i think this is still available), recordings from 1991-1995. garage acid scrabble post-REAL-hardcore freakout that sounds like it might share some DNA with usaisamonster (back when they were good). "equally inspired by reign in blood, electric ladyland, ornette coleman, abstract painting and black sabbath."

i've heard some of the other pink skulls stuff (teenage panzerkorps, the futurians) and it sounded like distorted basement art punk.

four years pass...

Does anyone have any thoughts on Steven R. Smith's solo output? I picked up "Cities" today (his latest release) and on first, second listen I like it very much indeed.

His discography is large (and he has several projects). Any recommendations?

* log the man dead – CS (autopia, 1995)
* gehenna belvedere – LP (autopia, 1996)
* autumn is the end – CD (darla, 1998)
* from ashes come – CD (3 acre floor, 1999)
* slate branches – CD (3 acre floor, 2000), LP (little brother records, 2000)
* death of last year's man e.p. – 7” (autopia, 2000), CDep (emperor jones, 2001)
* tableland – CD (emperor jones, 2001)
* lineaments – CD (emperor jones, 2002)
* kohl – CDr (jewelled antler, 2002), LP (emperor jones, 2005)
* antimony – CDr (digitalis industries, 2004)
* crown of marches – CD (catsup plate, 2005)

I should add, I have note the "Kohl" and "Tableland" recommendations above. Grateful for any more thoughts.

He releases music under the name Hala Strana that is really great, as well.
Eastern European folk influences abound.
