Best Record In A Box Next To My Turntable In The Bedroom

i polled it!! wahhoooo!!

i thought you had polls hidden!!

haha i unhid them a while back. i missed years of them though.

There sure are a lot of records in this world.

I don’t think I’ve heard of any of these!

gotta be sylvia striplin or gordon mumma, of the very few i've heard here

haha i just voted for that because it seems like the type of record you might have conjured into existence. besides his bandcamp page says he's a past member of The Invaders, Dave, Niazuma’s Revenge, The Kevorkian Effect, and Bojang Whyhigh?

With a lineage like that, how can you go wrong??

I feel like half of this are made up artists and album titles

you know there's lots of records in the world that all of us have never heard of right

I will never not vote for Machine Age Voodoo <3

that Szabo is real nice too, just heard it recently

i feel like a square cuz i don't get into Szabo, but i'm just not a jazz guitar guy

idk try Mizrab? lotta backing band action on that one

nah, no time ;)

I was joking.

Still, I only recognize Gabor Szabo from this whole list and tbh even his name sounds made up.

Sorry i'm not great a humor all the time

only thing I know here is May Blitz I think. that Gordon Mumma album has a cool cover but I’ve never heard it. It’s probably the first thing I’d pull out to listen to

I loved Midi Maxi & Efti!

Haha yeah that “Bad Bad Boys” song comes into my head a few times a year. Had to vote that one. From among the uh many many records on this list I am of course familiar with

Midi, Maxti and Efti is literally the only entry on the list I recognize

Mecki Mark Men was the point where I realized I didn't need every Europrog album from 1967-1969, but I did vote for it anyway.

Mumma ftw

sandy nassan's just guitar (listening to that opening track makes my fingers hurt!)

funky alternatives 2 looks interesting having checked the track list on Discogs. Tempted to vote earland's jam although it's him at his cheesiest. Marcia's Waltz after his wife I think is cool. Silvia Striplin, maybe?

dont know any of these

sylvia striplin

Im gonna check out the charles earland and nona hendryx albums as ive got others by them

its nice to see that there are other people here who enjoy the sylvia striplin album! its a work of art. and new to me! these are all things i bring home to listen to and they end up in a box and eventually i get to them. also new to me is that urohauz single! i keep playing it. so good.

Ooh I have actually heard that Szabo album when I was going through his records earlier this year, nice one.

have only heard Vicious Beat Posse, SPK and Crumbsuckers I think. of those, Crumbsuckers

I love Neon Judgement but haven't heard that one. actually it looks like a kind of best of comp? def has a bunch of great tracks on it. that might actually be my favourite

I no nunner deez

my faves would be: may blitz, gordon mumma, urohauz, mecki mark men, big black, joseph, sylvia striplin, and that it came from slimey valley punk comp. kind of a tie between sylvia striplin and mecki mark men. they both made a big impression on me. powerful music.

I'm not sure which version is on that Neon Judgement compilation but this song rules so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQtaNgipCSs

Have heard Szabo, Hendryx, Earland, but not those albums. Earland once cued me to hold his amp in place because it was sliding toward edge of stage, had a really jazz-boogie stomp w young band, and told me what album he'd made with them, but I've forgotten if I got it? Got several by him, but this title doesn't seem familiar. Voted Midi Maxi & Efti because I def remember kinda liking most of it although resisted what seemed like quaalude (downs) vocals, but they did it as part of that groove and then "Ragga Dub" got faster! I have attentive friends who love the whole thing though.

voted v/a - it came from slimy valley

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Looking forward to Mike Stax finishing his book on Gabor Szabo. I still need to read the one on Matreika Kali.

I remember what I've heard by May Blitz being good heavy prog. Have definitely heard them on samplers not sure if I heard the full l.p. at least not recently. Did BGO do a set with 2Lps on CD.

Mecki Mark Men were a great Swedish band I think interrelated with a few other bands from the same place.

mecki mark men turned into baby grandmothers and kebnekajse. uh, you know, the various members went on to that stuff.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Kebnekajse were pretty good too

looks like 2 members of mecki Mark Men were involved with Parsson and at least a couple of his various drone bands.
