Nurse With Wound = genius, totally inspiring, madness, magic!
Since I'm a big fan and you're just getting started, I'll break some of the
best releases down by style (roughly), as they are quite different.
Funniest = "Sylvie and Babs High Thigh Companion"
Catchy, Loungey = "Cooloorta Moon" (Can be found on CD on the excellent
"Sugar Fish Drink" collection, which btw would be a great first purchase)
Most rhythmic = "Rock n Roll Station" (a great album, it's NWW with more
upfront beats than usual)
Droniest = "Soliloquy For Lilith" (gorgeous string drones filling 2 Cds or
a vinyl boxset)
Full on hellish noise = "The Ladies Home Tickler", with "150 Murderous
Passions" a close second
Quiet (almost B. Gunter-esque, we're talkin' silent here): "A Missing Sense"
Spooky = "Homotopy to Marie" (perhaps my fave)
Free Jazz / Improv = "Chance Meeting on A Dissecting Table of a Sewing
Machine and an Umbrella"
Also not to be missed:
The "Simple Headphone Mind" collaboration with Stereolab is an absolute
classic and can be found on CD on a double CD called "The Swinging
Reflective" which collects all of NWW's collaboration with people like TIny
Tim, Coil, Stereolab, Current 93 etc.
In short, if you're a more idm-ish person, I'd say start with "Rock N Roll
Station" (either as a single CD or on the 2 cd version which is called
"Second Pirate Session") or "Sugar Fish Drink" and then work out from
there. There's loads more releases but this should get you started.
