Solostuff from Lee R. on diverse labels such as the reissue on Drunken Fish
of "inscriptions", and that great cd on Barooni which been released only a
couple of weeks ago.
Thurston Moore had soloefforts as well as contributions to hundreds of
labels, giving these labels a chance and focussing more on "experiment" and
tonal ladders.
This being Idm, i would like to point out that their Ciccone Youth "Whitey
album" had great "dancetracks" on it. "Macbeth" for instance is a favourite
of mine. Even so... Most of the experimental side of Sy could be classified
under "ambient".
do also check out early works from Glenn Branca which features guitarplay
from some members of Sy, (as well as Band of Susans, Swans etc...)
You could go on and on about SY... Me personally, i think you can put them
on the same line as Velvet Underground, Beatles, Beach Boys and other
legendary bands. There's one difference: they try to keep up with their
roots (aka punkrockfeeling) and live up to that in a certain way which only
deserves respect. History will show what impact they had on guitar,
expermental and contemporary music.
