Ulver is the only name I recognize. Christ!

Weird, there's two that I thought you might have known about: Six Organs of Admittance and Hella. Six Organs being something like folk/rock, mostly instrumental stuff while Hella is fast-paced, aggresive "math rock."

Have you heard of Boredoms? That was my second choice for "B." They're a "noise-rock" band that've played with Sonic Youth before.

Another one I was gonna add was A Silver Mt. Zion, which is a "post-rock" band that incorporates orchestra and shit. The members of it are also part of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, at least last I checked.

I only recognise Ulver (though I've heard people mention Venetian Snares), too. That Sun Awakens by Six Organs... sounds impressive from the clips I heard on itunes, though. I might pick it up.

khris Blogger Jul 28, 2006

Venetian Snares is breakbeat/IDM stuff, but you might already know that.

I haven't heard Sun Awakens yet, you'll have to tell me how it is if you get it.

Of the others mention, I've only heard of A Silver Mt. Zion.

Oh. :(

You still need to give Bergtatt a listen! I'll upload it sometime tomorrow.

And how are VS? I didn't like the one track I heard off the Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole album but I'd be lying if I said I gave him/them a fair shake on the whole... and I do like newer Autechre stuff...

Edit: I just bought Silence is Sexy by Neubauten--I like a handful of the songs (Sabrina, Die Befindlichkeit Des Landes, Redukt, and Total Eclipse of the Sun in particular) but most seem cheesy or silly. Is any of their other new stuff any good or do you just like them for the industrial stuff like Strategies Against Architecture?

khris Blogger Jul 28, 2006

Simply put, "neu" (lawls!) Neubauten is artfag cheese. Silence is Sexy is pretty good for a laugh but I can't take any of that sort of shit seriously.

Blixa is a serious homogay.

If you're into their older industrial/experimental stuff, I highly recommend you check out S.P.K. Make sure to check out their older stuff. Their most recent stuff is pretty much pre-modern EBM/synthpop, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you don't like more upbeat things.

As far as Venetian Snares go, I only really like one album, Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett. It's your standard IDM but with some awesome orchestra elements.

bluberry Jul 28, 2006

Homogay sounds about right. Men fucking is straighter than half of SiS. I'm not too keen on earlier Einstur, but every now and then it's a good listen.

I'll try that Rossz Something Something album sometime.

I should make another list soon.
