LIGHTNING BOLT

[yiHan]

lol... looks like this is on the wrong thread

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]

Lightning Bolt is bomb.

[Thorns]

POOF! Off to superlists...

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i'm not sure this fits, but the new CURRENT 93 has been destroying my life lately.

perfect for lying on the basement floor with the lights out, drunk and red-eyed.

[typicalfashion]

i hope this doesn't get moved, i already know what the supershoppers listen to, and who actually reads superlists?

[azad]

dälek, fantomas, gaylord, mastodon.

[tonaf]

i think morrmusic, cco, fat cat, et. al are the best bunch of 'experimental music'

they are listenable while toying with the avant garde

of course, they are not extremely experimental per se, but i think it best embodies the direction how cutting edge blends with pop well

[sybaritical]

Experimental Music?

hmn.

These days I'm listening to what I like the sound of. Experimental enough for me.

Mostly:

Scape~

Type

CCO

Vertical Form

Leaf/Lo recordings/ Rune Grammofon/Room 40 ( posteverything)

(*coughs*) Warp

Thrill Jockey

Domino

Addendum: OOH OOH forgot Benbecula.

Everybody sign up for the Minerals series.

Recently I've been listening to the new Terrestrial Tones album, "Dead Drunk," and the new Black Dice 12", "Manoman," both of which are drop-dead stunning. "Manoman" has the greasy, sluggish dance that they've been playing live, and is sadly over in 15 minutes.

In addition:

the Skaters-"Raising Spheres of Conscious Angel Minds"

Masada- "Live in Jerusalem"

Double Leopards- "Urban Concussion"

Leafcutter John- "The Forest and the Sea"

GH!- "Heavy Elements"

I can't wait to pop in "Altar" and the new Vampire Can't.

[sybaritical]

HAhah.

I went to art college with Leafcutter John.

Total cunt.

[Larry Bird]

Suppression

bastard noise

facialmess

sounded good while i was on drugs, but im sober nowadays and it just makes my head hurt afterawhile...

[docnbhd]

Khanate, Boris, Merzbow... they are more doom/sludge/experimental... amazing nonetheless

[wild_whiskey]

i know animal collective is a bit more pop lately, but here comes the indian and earlier works still dominate my soul. couldn't really get sick of them.

i'm also on a permanent Sunburned hand of the man kick, and philip jeck is always very satisfying as well.

[red]

christina aguilara.

[Indifferent]

There is a show on ABC (Australian) called Set that showcases experimental music, the url is here, you can also d/l mp3s from the site. I really like Rod Cooper.

[minya]

Too much to list. Yikes.

[Icarus]

"The Sinking Belle" off of "Altar" is the song of the year, hands down.

[sell veg]

Múm. Dntel. Amina.

[onemancult]

anyone digging the new Wolf Eyes?

[Icarus]

Which one? Human Animal? River Slaughter? The new Hanson square unlathed-vinyl where John Olson's shitting in a truck-stop stall in rural Nebraska is imitated through destroyed saxophone and bleating goat (a man can hope)?

Human Animal AND River Slaughter... I'm digging Human Animal a little more right now.

[polishmike]

i just got johann johannsson 'ibm 1401, a user's manual' and it has to be one of the best records of the year for me. i played it over and over for past 3 days.

[yuljo]

Lightning Bolt is pretty awesome, seeinig them would be pretty intense and loud.

I've been listening to Chris Herbert's Mezzotint alot lately and if you're a fan of warm tube distortion drone sounds then you'll love it.Perfect for sleeping,working, doing whatever.

[docnbhd]

Any y'all like Slint?

[snugglepony]

yes?

just spiderland and the ep, though -- i can't hang with tweez...

[Edge_Of_Denim]

Oren Ambarchi.

Fennesz.

Fantomas.

Marc Ribot.

Pan Sonic.

Einsturzende Neubauten.

James Plotkin.

Autechre.

John Duncan.

What's most interesting is what is occuring right now in the tributaries of Metal and Doom. Serious experimental intensity is underway. Sunn O))), Khanate, Xasthur, Dillinger Escape Plan, Boris, and standing apart from all of the above, the incomparable Meshuggah.

[Edge_Of_Denim]

Icarus, asking Jessie Sykes to sing that song was genius. Asking Jarboe to sing it was probably the only choice that could've topped it. I hope the rest of Altar is half as good.
