that seem unusual to me :
magazine - real life
weird nihilistic rock outfit from the early 80s, fast paced, epic
constructions
check out "the light pours out of me" which i heard via Ministry
walker brothers - night flites
the first four tracks here written solo by walker are amazing, heard about
them via a david bowie cover. bowie is apparently a huge fan, made a movie
about the guy, etc. you can definitely see the similarities.
heroin in tahiti - death surf
to be honest, all these guys albums are similar enough that i could listen
to them interchangably, somewhere between Sleep/slow stoner metal and Low
or another kind of weird gloomy pop and with a weird italian angle all
their own..
pan sonic + alan vega - endless
pan sonic take on a lo fi emulation of ancient rockers Suicide, Alan Vega
is onboard with his usual industrial-elvis stylings, was never a huge fan
of Suicide and Pan Sonic is taking pains here to go lo fi but... somehow it
works
0 & pan sonic - sahko (the movie soundtrack)
minimal, cold finnish ambience. dark. all that stuff you'd expect.
the cop killers - self titled
for fans of throbbing gristle, this is a bunch of scifi madness spliced
together out of very lo-fi scraps of industrial and rambling in italian and
heavily accented english. weirdly amusing? alternate soundtrack to thx
1138?
merzbow & genesis p. orridge - merzbow with genesis p orridge doing genesis
p orridge things over it
alec empire & merzbow - live CBGB's NYC 1998
merzbow with alec empire doing alec empire things over it. beats and
shouts and you know... alec empire things
the stranglers - no more heroes
more nihilistic fast moving early 80s rock that was probably considered
terrifying and insane at the time and is now rather pedestrian and dramatic
but... great songwriting
ween - the mollusk
if you aren't familiar with ween now is a great time to listen to stephen
hillenburg's (late creator of spongebob squarepants) favorite album as ween
covers a vast swatch of rock and pop with their own bizarre sort of aphexy
tongue in cheek style
