tito (not the man) scribblied:
--I have the albums "Further" and "Chorus", both of which I recommend to anyone
--who loved My Bloody Valentine, but has since moved on to ambient/listening
--music. I'm not connected with the band (as my obvious lack of information
--ABOUT the band shows), I just love this stuff.

--If you think this message is out of line for the list, I'm sorry, but I
--had to
--tell someone who might understand.
as i think many (ok, at least a few of us) also came from the
shoegaze/out-there guitar-based background to electronic music (my path was
through early seefeel and a music teacher who loved eno.) i like fsa a lot
because over the course of two full-lengths and two comps of other tracks
their music easily flows from psych to pop to a suede cover to folkie stuff
to backwards-wooshy ambient and back again. as a fervent fan of both techno
and 'rawk' in all shapes and colors, i can't get enough of artists using
and manipulating the conventional guitar sound to create something
completely otherworldly.
some recommendations:
labradford - both lp's
main - motion pool
slowdive - pygmalion
seefeel- first two
just about anything by roy montgomery
anything on the kranky label (some of this creeps toward convential song
territory but it's all good :)
i keep meaning to buy some glenn branca (sp), i've heard so much good stuff
about it
this is just off the top of my head, there is even more out there that i
can't mention because i haven't found it yet. probably the easiest place to
find information about droney, ambient, and untraditional guitar on the net
may be the droneon list, if you can stomach sp* and psych talk as well.
hth,

obtechno: i'm selling some stuff. some techno, a few fax 12"'s, some indie,
some crap rock, at rock-bottom prices. no bidding, it's too time-consuming.
email me for my list. everyone who purchases an item receives a small
nonsense gift. </ad>
