Ummmm....taking jimi up on his request for a megathread of music. not sure what this music is going to have in common other than being in some way odd as fuck.

to start off,
Cezary Gapik - Contrast I [White Box]
Like all those other drone records but less boring.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um7AbcKC7Ck

Wanda Group - Bass Urine [NNA Tapes]
latest transmission from the man formerly known as Dem Hunger or Susie Sahara or all sorts of other things. Well good, as always.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAJvQ2dNJZk

Larry Marshall - Queer and Wonder [Rare Youth]
fucked if i can find a youtube link, but basically sounds sorta like a shit jandek. or in other words, he reinvents to tropes of singer-songerwriter-dom to be about neither the singing or the songwriting but rather the cool static in the background.

Konx-om-Pax - Light in Extension [Display Copy]
Forget everything your grandma told you about abstract electronic music post-Autechre. this one has got balls.

Sex Worker - Waving Goodbye [Not Not Fun]
everyone's heard this by now, right? the review in the wire talks about the way it made points about the sex trade or something, it's just kinda groovey music to stalk a girl you met at the bus-stop too/or plan to murder your elderly next-door neighbour. idk. what you do in your spare-time is none of my business.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-YUQNpbM7c

and of course, Ekoplekz - Memowrekz [Mordant Music]
idk. not heard it. but i'm sure it's great.

Joseph Hammer - I love you, please love me too [Pan]

legendary member of the Los Angeles Free Music Society, I spent most of Christmas going through his back-catalogue under various names like Solid Eye, Dinosaurs with Horns, Joe & Joe but I think this new one is probably still my favourite. the most wonderfully assembled plunderphonic collage of the strangest radio recordings i've ever heard that nonetheless fucks with all your buzzwords and creates a hugely distinct and enjoyable whole.

Skweee

Needs a home with the freaks, it deserves the multithread action...

I'm really feeling the Pavan album right now, he pretty much invented skweee. Skweee is some sort of synth led funky bleepy dance music from Scandinaiva. Pure party music. A load of fun and mega freaky. Its like a really funky version of 8-bit.

Pavan's new album is too good: http://boomkat.com/vinyl/382074-pavan-holy-volt

The new Dødpop comp is shit hot and so is this: http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/2011/03/recommended-beatbully-kosmik-regn-ddpop.html

"It’s like regular SR co-founder Jimi The Xploder says, ‘skweee just has that power to make you smile,’"

  Sound323 is great too. Not a completely all-encompassing stock but a lot cheaper than Volcanic Tongue/Second Layer (I think). I forgot about them for a while but I've gone back to using Norman Records as well, because they stock a lot of avanty stuff that boomkat don't and often at cheaper prices (and their website's easier to use)

Dwarr - Animals (1986/2010) [Drag City]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPb3tBK2tmQ
quote theshipment:
"What the hell?
This caught me off guard. Going to have to look into this, what a trip."

Harald Grosskopf Synthesist (+Re-Synthesist) (1980/2011) [RVNG Intl.]
Kraut drummer makes pulsing new-agey synth record. Is really good. James Ferraro/OPN/other hip people remix it. Ferraro one is especially cool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot8jrZnpMWs

From ages ago, by the same label:
Psychic Ills remixed by Juan Atkins, Gibby Haynes and Hans-Joachim Irmler - Frkwys Vol. 4 [RVNG Intl.]
Don't know whether people picked up on this but it's sooo good. Along with the Kangding Ray/Alva Noto/Ben Frost Ep, is enough to convince anyone how good these kind of splits can be. Beautiful rhythmic pulsing, boundary-crossing psychedelic kind of music. My favourite is the Juan Atkins remix which sounds like this:

Ø - Heijastuva [Sahko]
Return for Mika Vainio to (imo) his best alias. The earler stuff is hugely minimalistic wacked-out techno. This is still really minimalistic but not as dancey. More concerned with long periods of sustained drone, and really great microsound composition.

Wolfgang Voigt - Du Musst Nichts Sagen [Profan]
I guess people didn't like Freiland Klaviermusik that much, because I'm not sure people still pick up on Voigt's releases in the same way you'd expect. Anyway this one's amazing (but still pretty batty) check it:

  Of all the pieces of music released lately that repurpose Michael Jackson in reference to a classic work of 18th century philosphy - as channeled by an unawares Scott Walker - this is probably my favourite.
  
  Releases like this make me wish I liked Mordant Music the artist more, maybe I'm listening to the wrong stuff. I HAVEN'T yet seen MisinforMation, though definitely intend to, it looks like it might be up my alley.

  - what've you got?
    
    i like most of the stuff on the label, altho there's a fair amount of it i don't have. apart from the Shackleton stuff, I think my favourite MMissive is the Tower Ep, which is kind of dark odd dancefloor-focussed dubstep/breaks remixes of a completely different lp, The Tower Pts. VIII - XVIII which is a krauty droney thing. and then again sounds nothing like the Travelogues which are ambient field recordings or something like In Ohm the Lake which is just lovely BOC-esque ambient electronica.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH3fSojSk2w
    
    i should start a blog so i can write a big long post about mordant music, and how they've always pegged in the wrong brackets, but i'm not sure anyone should read it and i'm not sure i can be bothered.

Niggas with Guitars - Ethnic Frenzy [Digitalis]
This kind of record is a great reason to start this thread as it takes tropes and ideas that we're all pretty familiar with (haunted ballroom, chopped 'n' screwed; these sorts of ideas) and then injects a massive dose of personality and idiosyncracy and makes them interesting again. It's real beautiful at times - really like Ethiopia Assault and muggy and hypnotic elsewhere (E.F.O.)

samples sound great.

the odd thing about that tho is he's helping out all these other guys but John Elliott's own Outer Space lp from last year is amazing, and never got that kind of distribution. guess he doesn't mind that much i suppose?

oneforghost | 16 Mar '11, 16:41 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Yeah I don't really understand what the deal with this new label is
  
  Don't really get the Mego link unless it's purely to get better distro. Or maybe because people have been criticising Mego for compromising its sound. Either way, that Bee Mask record is about a million times better than pretty much any other synth record I've heard recently; it's insane.
  
  only_shallow @oneforghost | 16 Mar '11, 16:52 | X | ^ This | Reply
oh really? cool i'll make sure to check it out then.

I was worried they'd be a bit idk, minor.
I think it's just a question of Rehberg giving John Elliot that space to put out records he likes because Elliott's got more of a foot in that scene than Rehberg can have, still living in austria mebbe? idk. but certainly not as drenched in the sound for as long as Elliott; i think Elliott made a record with Bee Mask dude once, so there are those sorts of connections.

and i suppose it makes sense to make it a sub-label rather than just shove it out on emego because there isn't the same curatorship behind them so they'll have different feels i suppose, not to piss off the noise-heads, and, positively, to create the kind of excitement of a relatively major label putting out records that would otherwise probably get pressed in quantities of 50/100 or just on cassette: it's nice to have something you can put a press release out about, w/ different name etc. i guess.

on Kranky, an album called Common Era. Is sounding pretty nice to me right now. Like a really dreamy extra fuzzy little bit noisy shoegaze Soft Moon or something. Prob just Weirdo enough for the mega thread lol.

Hello to this thread!

Excellent work here, this is great stuff. Thanks for bumping the NFR blog, Jimi- my mind collapsed with the amount of stuff I htought about postign in here when I first saw this thread.

I just posted a string of videos today that chime with some of the easier listening end of what's gone on in this thread so far - SSalvia, Mpala Garoo, Pears, Twilight Owls.

Does 8-bit thrash metal count in this thread? If so:

http://nfrblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/download-iron-pirate-iron-pirate.html

It's an oldie, but very goodie.

I interviewed Konx-Om-Pax this week for Sonic Router, so expect some suitably enjoyable confusion coming out of that shortly.

A couple of blogs for you - http://dunwichradio.blogspot.com/ - put up really great podcasts with a mix of old and new stuff. Here's this weeks tracklist, for example:

Michael Rother - Feuerland
The Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Joke (b)
Serge Bulot - Staccato Ricochet
Amon Düül II - Kanaan
Ash Ra Temple - Light: Look At Your Sun
Kraftwerk - Ruckzuck
Moggi - Officina Stellare
Moebius & Plank - News
John Cale & Terry Riley - Church Of Anthrax

Is this the kind of stuff we mean here?

And of course, the other blog to boot you deep into the freakzone - Mutant Sounds: http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/

I'll be back!

This is a great thread

As a jumping off point, Boomkat/14 Tracks have done a lot of great compilations recently which fit this thread...

http://14tracks.com/selections/155-14_tracks_mission_to_the_technoplex

A lot of stuff that I've got recently has already been mentioned- Ekoplekz, Rene Hell, Harold Grosskopf, Deaf Centre, Peaking Lights.

CVLTS are great...

  Rene Hell & some other chaps making ostensibly dance music (but not really). It's at a similar level of abstraction as Hell's kosmische stuff but with added drum machines and housey lifts. It's pretty enjoyable.

Higuma - Pacific Fog Dreams

http://rootstrata.com/release/RS73

Hands down one of the most beautiful records I've ever heard. The amount of completely stellar stuff the dudes from Barn Owl release is getting ridiculous now...they're so prolific and yet every single thing seems to be solid gold.

Anyway, this is completely different to previous Higuma releases. Big Windy & Carl vibe...huge washes of reverb and delay, really gorgeous wordless vocals and the occasional blast of ambient doom.

Innercity - Backworld [Release the Bats]

One of my fav. synth/kosmische operators. Recorded great lps on Dan Lopatin/OPN's Upstairs label, Augierre and Ruralfaune.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVab9AZqdlE

Derek Monypenny - Don't Bring Me Down, Bruce
http://derekmonypeny.bandcamp.com/album/dont-bring-me-down-bruce
Beautiful sun-starched sun-starched solo oud recordings from a Richard Bishop collaborator.
perfect for a saturday afternoon hangover hiding in the dark. (i'm sure he would not think of it in those terms tho.)

Frak - Dry Vanadis / Tournament City [Draft]
Apparently these guys have been operating for aeons making strange Swedish acid-house in the 90s, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q44ulwTJ7sk (i think the language barrier may explain the slightly odd title...mebbe? idk.) Anyway, now they seem to be got into the US underground scene, and released Dry Vanadis / Tournament City last year:
http://www.borft.com/details.php?ProdID=1047
which for me, fits in quite well with the whole hynagogic/dance interface as shown with people like Cuticle+100% Silk /502 Recordings etc...

Polymer Slug - Warm Forms [Overland Shark]
http://soundcloud.com/overlandshark/sets/polymer-slug-warm-forms-1
some of this is a bit meh, but quite a bit of it is pretty great casio-based ambient. sort of like what you imagine casiotone for the painfully alone's brother who makes drone would sound like, until you hear him and release he's actually pretty heavy.
considering it's only the guy's 2nd release, it's not bad going.
(always get this guy confused w/ Pedestrian Deposit tho who are *completely different. still both good)

Maly Szu - Pecah Belah [Zgnile Mieso Rekords]
i don't own this but i want to. 'cause i really like this band.
more childish casiotone melodies. this time from Poland. lovely.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao6N0RalVNk

also from Poland but released on a (real good) french label:
Pleq - Ballet Mechanic [Basses Frequences]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWyJxQFreoQ
(not that weird) electronica/microsound/drone. really very enjoyable listen.
chap's also got a remix lp coming out on the legendary (? - maybe just in my head. idk) japanese label Progressive Form. cool.

right, um, I don't know how weird we are going for here

but this guy is pretty cool, mixing kenyan field recordings and a bunch of other organic sounds with nice ambient electronic type stuff. good clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIDyRE9zjAM
his album, the Kenya Sessions, is meant to be great but I haven't heard it yet and have only been listening to stuff via youtube

um, how about comus? I assume you have heard em, but for anyone who hasn't First Utterance was recently reissued and is still completely mental
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nPer5U-zi0

I guess I'll post some Holy Modal Rounders as well, because I've been listening to them loads since I saw Peter Stampfel and Jeffrey Lewis a few months ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRNexqpUcfk&feature=related
this clips pretty weird even though the music is relatively 'straight':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkjJs5gKtFs&feature=related

um I don't know if I'm doing this right or not, but I guess I'll use this opportunity to post some "song poems". I've definitely posted them before, but everyone pretty much ignores them. basically, the story behind them is, they advertised in the back of a magazine (they were doing this around 60s-70s), you send them your poem along with some money, and they send you back a hit! genius! can result in hilarious disco-funk, like Jimmy Carter Says 'Yes' (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h874BPSnbWc ), or odd drunken near Cap'n Beefheart stuff, like Beat of the Traps. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDhhODd6RwA ). genuinely brilliant.

        936 is such a slow killer of a record
        
        Not that it took me long to fall for it, but I am so deeply into it and it's such a sensual, intricate album. I'm so pleased you're into it, and how much really positive press and attentin it's got. I feel really personal about them, been a fan of Numbers and Rah Dunes, and their previous album Imaginary Falcons was one of my top albums of '09 so I'm kind of synched to their psyche!

        and even more unrelatedly, the lady behind Je Suis Petit Chevalier - Félicia Atkinson -has more hand-made, come-spun, field-recorded, trapped 7 skinned jams up on her own bandcamp now: http://feliciaatkinson.bandcamp.com/
        
        Je Suis Petit Chevalier shoudl go down well in this thread, some of her stuff is cimenatic, dark, creepy and I have genuinely forgotten where I was inside some of it.
        
        http://jesuislepetitchevalier.bandcamp.com/
        
        also also - High Wolf and his many guises might go down well here. Though all my suggestions are quite poppy compared to some other stuff here! Annapurna Illusion, Iibiis Rooge, High Wolf. all insane jungle rhythm transcendent noise drone. Alterd Zones have fallen for him hard recently, lots of stuff on there.

found this website this morning

that's got loads of bands and music from china:
http://pangbianr.com/underground-b-sides/

the most applicable bands to this thread (that i have so far found and been able to listen to) are probably:

Fat City - soundcloud.com/fatcity (drifts between noisy kraut/ambient i guess)
Chuiwan - http://radio.pangbianr.com/track/chuiwan-raying-temple-2010-8-4-4 (quite no-wave sounding)
Luxinpei - http://soundcloud.com/rose-mansion-analog/1-31-31-3 (noise/no wave type sounds)
offset: spectacles - http://the-offsets.bandcamp.com/track/dead-air (droney sounds)

there's a label mentioned called Rose Mansion Analog:
http://soundcloud.com/rose-mansion-analog
there's another track by offset: spectacles that's very VU sounding as well as a Dirty Beaches song as well.

  - it's good. not sure all of it completely works, and the synth elements are certainly more minimalistic than on the average OPN release but it's a fascinating listen, reminds me a bit, perhaps just in concept of the really, really good Evan Parker/John Wiese collab that came out on Pan a bit ago...

Amazing psychedelic noise rock on Kranky

http://www.fluid-radio.co.uk/2011/03/one-to-watch-out-for-implodes-black-earth/

http://soundcloud.com/kranky/implodes-marker

http://www.myspace.com/chicagoimplodes

Ken Camden, whose solo release on Kranky last year was pretty incredible, is a member. The atmosphere they create is pretty amazing...definitely the first straight-up(ish) rock band I've heard in a while that I've really, really dug.

Also, know I'm probably late to the party but that Clams Casino mix tape is great.

ctrl f + Sean McCann...no results.

how did that happen?
The Capital on Aguirre Records is really gorgeous and hugely varied and just amazing. uses all sorts of odd bits of vocals and fields recordings and stuff. it's just great.
As mentioned elsewhere Mist (John Elliott/Sam Goldberg) is sounding like it's going to be great too:
http://editionsmego.com/media/spectrum_spools_track/36/1/01_Twin_Lanes-original.mp3
Also Trouble Books & Mark McGuire...
+ I was listening to earlier to McGuire's Off in the Distance and it's probably my favourite thing of his I've heard so far. more dark and discordant than most of his stuff tho.

Idk whether it'd be an idea to start a separate synth/kosmische thread 'cause people who might be into it, may not check this one BUT
cba at this moment in time, and we've already mentioned loads of stuff in here already.

Leyland Kirby - Intrigue & Stuff Vol.1 [History Always Favours The Winners]

Still need to digest this a little more, but umm wow, it's really great. He's sort of stepped away from straight-drone, to make something more 80s, more pulsing and more odd. Idk, maybe in places sounds like a really dark Games. Pretty great.

Lawrence English - Kiri No Oto

Reissued on vinyl. Shamefully, I'd never heard of this until last week, but it's stunning...murky, oceanic drones and field recordings.

Can't say the clips of the new Leyland Kirby did a whole lot for me, but then I wasn't as bowled over by Sadly, The Future... as some either.

Also, probably a bit outside the remit of this thread, but if you dig Isis-influenced black metal then the new Altar of Plagues album will probably give you as much of a boner as it's given me. Fantastic guitar tones

Did not think this would be going in here, but yeah:

Vladislav Delay Quartet - S/T [Honest Jon's]
Moritz Von Oswald Trio it ain't, but what it is really interesting mixture of drone, noise, improv, other stuff. idk. needs a few more spins in my gaff to make up my mind I think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFj3aiQGNJs
Reviewer in the wire called it a "dour hour of music" but then he seemed to think 'inhuman noise' was a bad thing so...

Kinda wanted to add some stuff to this as it's been my go to place for off the wall stuff for a while

Think some of these things might be interesting and fit in here(?):

Hobo Cubes/Lee Noble/Derek Rogers/Rambutan Split[Deep Tapes]
Nice collection of different complimentary styles, I think a couple of these have been mentioned further above but the thing I particularly like about this tape is the way it so quickly slides from one style to another.
http://deeptapes.com/hobo-cubeslee-noblederek-rogersrambutan-2xcs-split-out-now/

Lunar Miasma - Gone
Another one of the synth-y drifty things that seems to be around a lot (think Motion Sickness, Bee Mask etc). Cosmic sounds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BJUZfZYlQw

Voder Death Squad - 1[Stunned Records]
Kind of similar to above in it's dual synth lead outer space hedonistic music. I've kind of found that it's the perfect companion to listen to after LIVEPHREAXXX!!!! in that it's got similar exploratory organic freedom whilst still packing quite a punch. Tried to find an excerpt from it but failed :/
http://www.aguirrecords.com/Shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=258

Vladislav Delay - Entoma EP[Echochord]
Quartet is listed above, but I personally much prefer his solo work (also his alias Sistol). Entain is corker of an LP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckeHNOscqSM

El Fog
Probably really well known but I thought i'd list him anyway as Reverberate Slowly is probably my favourite album ever; Jazz, Dub, Ambient, the odd splash of House even? He's wonderfully minimalist yet captivating.
http://soundcloud.com/elfog/mountain-dub

Hype Williams
Don't really need to say anything about these guys, but i've found some stuff which hasn't been so widely spread about by them, think they're early works when they were still a 'band'
http://www.pinglewood.com/pinglewood/2009/03/321-hype-williams/ (couple of free tracks + short interview thingy)

- i was pretty drunk when i made this thread, really anything goes.
  
  i did not know about those Hype Williams tracks! wow thanks for digging that up. El Fog & Lunar Miasma are great, Vladislav Delay I quite like, for me that Ep was not really massively novel in the way the Quartet lp was, but i get that a lot of people (not you neccessarily) found it pretty difficult and annoying. need to hear Voder Death Squad, Stunned are the best. Dont think I have that Lee Noble etc. split, wil check it and no clue why I don't have that Lunar Miasma.

Elklink - The Rise of Elklink
http://www.volcanictongue.com/artists/show/3861
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA2g6bTvE-A

Proper terrifying crazy mutterings in the dark, whispers and distorted voices chattering nonsense over and under each other. I'm freaked out by it but can't stop listening. Dark.

Graham Lambkin - Amateur Doubles
http://weirdorecords.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=10508

Thought it would be utterly terrible based on reviews but unwrapped in yesterday (!) and it's really rather lovely (with an edge of unsettling).

Sean McCann - Sincere World

Got it entirely based on only_shallow's high placement of it in his end of year chart, and my god is it beautiful, like weep-makingly beautiful. Seems to have been criminally forgotten.

Modern Love stuff from this year that really shouldn't be slept on

E.H. - Ground EP
This is the heaviest darkest, deepest techno I've ever heard. It's like listening to tectonic plates bump and grind against each other to make musique concrete. Heavily recommended.
http://soundcloud.com/modernlove/sets/g-h-ground-ep/

Miles - Facets EP
One half of Demdike Stare. This is like Sandwell District gone eastern. Check out the tabla on 'Flawed', sounds super heavy but also super light and groovy as well. Bit like Shackleton gone native.
http://soundcloud.com/modernlove/sets/g-h-ground-ep/

They've also just put a couple of new Demdike Stare tracks up which I missed before christmas. Samplers from the new album I assume. Saw them in Paris, on a bill with Sandwell District and this intense french guy called Mondkopf (who did what I can only describe as a black metal inspired take on french electro and breakbeat which was surprisingly great) and it was excellent, their stuff is sounding increasingly concentrated and dense, but in the best possible way. Great visuals as ever, lots of really creepy footage including one where a guy thought he had turned into a lettuce being eaten by caterpillars. Crazed.

  Vatican Shadow has a similar strain to it (think he's got a release lined up for Blackest Ever Black soon) too, all heavily themed around current middle-eastern war and somehow both really emotional whilst dead behind the eyes.

Free Dragons Eye Records compilation

http://www.dragonseyerecordings.com/catalogue/de6010.html

'The release of Iron marks the sixth anniversary of Yann Novak relaunching Dragon’s Eye Recordings, the record label originally created by his father Paul Novak in 1989. In previous years, this anniversary compilation has been a chance to look forward to the coming year of artists and releases. With Iron, we will be looking backward at the previous 6 years.

For Iron, artists featured on Dragon’s Eye were asked to contribute either a solo piece or a collaboration with another Dragon’s Eye artist. The results came together as a massive free download compilation, consisting of 24 artists, on 20 tracks and over 2 1/2 hours of sound. The compilation came together as a perfect mix of the styles and voices featured on Dragon’s Eye over the last 6 years.'

tried to make my own thread for weird stuff

it tanked. I'm gonna repost about the record I posted about before 'cause it's excellent, and this thread seems like an apt vehicle.

WZT Hearts - 'Thread Rope Spell Making Your Bones'

noisey, smeared synths, alternately splattered and droning, with occasional free jazz drums... abstract, yes, but there is a strange pervading atmosphere and a warped strain of melody that lures you in and grips you.

boomkat.com/downloads/246509-wzt-hearts-threads-rope-spell-making-your-bones

I reckon it's a bit like Supersilent and Boomkat agrees, with the added caveat
'remixed by Christian Fennesz'.

the record is from '07, the band unfortunately split in '08. killer, though. couldn't find any videos, but trust me, it's special.
