seeing as how santa claus is going straight to the ghetto and is avoiding N4, i'll have to get my own shit.

so, recommend me one record/CD each, that you think i personally might like (and not already own)

Bran Van 3000 - Discosis

― anthony, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bodenstandeag 2000 !!!!!

― chaki, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Other People Place - Lifestyles of the Laptop Cafe

― Omar, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Passage "Seedy" (Cherry Red). A flawed retrospective of a great band, but their only music available on CD. You might like their mix of slightly primitive creepy synth n' layered percussion as an example of a new direction which could have been followed in the early 80's, but ultimately wasn't.

Mark Hollis - Mark Hollis

― David, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kompakt - Total 3. Everything Tim has said about it is true.

― RickyT, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Discosis is great.

But I recommend Marah-The Kids in Philly.

― Ronan, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Without knowing you or your tastes, I can, without remorse, recommend "The World As it Is Today", by Art Bears.

The Walkabouts, Satisfied Mind.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pluxus- Och Resan Fortsatter Har (And The Journey Continues Here)

― emil.y, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ella Fitzgerald, _The Cole Porter Songbook_.

― Douglas, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

RickyT beat me to the punch, so:

V/A - Lily of the Valley V/A - Ischemic Folks

(both on the Schematic label)

― Tim, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Marc Gartman's The Horrible Cocoanut Grove Disaster. (http://www.pushpinmusic.com if that Amazon link doesn't work.) Great album.

― Phil, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Plux Quba' - Nuno Canavarro.

― Andrew L, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dymaxion - Dymaxion x 4 + 3 = 38:33. Oh, it's good stuff. For a sample, check out ILM Listening Chamber 12.

― David Raposa, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not sure if you'd like it, but I must recommend it anyhow: Rheostatics' Night of the Shooting Stars.

― Sean Carruthers, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, but I changed the linkage to Chamber #12. Click on this.

― David Raposa, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Let you down" by the Kingsbury Manx. Let it dwell in your subconcious for a few plays then find yourself singing utterly baffling lyrics for the rest of your life, with gentle tunes with guitars and brushed drums and not even a hint of Starsailor-like crapness. It's what dark nights are made for.

― Rob M, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

barbara morgenstern - vermona ET 6-1.

― james, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Second the Kompakt recommendation, Gareth. If I like it I wouldn't be at all surprised that you did.

― Josh, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sun Ra, The Magic City

― M. Matos, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

please, don't stop the recommendations. i have already purchase some of the above. will report back on everyone suggestions in a week or so, which will give me time to get some more.

― gareth, Friday, 2 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alright, here's another one : Andrew Weatherall's compilation "9 o'clock Drop".

― Dr. C, Friday, 2 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Philistines Jr - 'Analog vs. Digital' or the countinuing struggle ep. Had to mention them again! :)

― james, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Deerhoof : the man, the king, the girl CD i think it's on kill rock stars i don't know

― bob snoom, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

gareth should buy:

bubba sparxxx - dark days, bright nights..

augustus pablo - king tubby meets rockers uptown

xenakis - le legende d'eer.

(my soundtrack to fitful dreams last night. trying to listen to them this morning to decide if they actually mix as well together as my unconscious mind thought.)

― jess, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two weeks pass...

thanks for the recommendations y'all

chaki, i already had the bodenstandig cd,

omar, thanks, i wasn't going to get the other people place, but i have now, and i am very impressed with it, although i wasn't to begin with

tim/josh/rickyt. i'm looking into the kompakt and schematic

emily, i have a different Pluxus album, and it is ok, in a Plone style, but not brilliant. is this better?

rob, i imagine the kingsbury manx to be a track and field/kings of convenience type thing, which i'm not sure i'd like. is it like that?

matos, sun ra's magic city, i looked at this in the shop and it was quite expensive, i came very close to buying it, could you tell me more

dr.c, this andy weatherall thing, it looks a bit early80sbritain, i'm not sure i'd like that, i'll try and listen to it in smallfish

jess, is this a good xenakis entryist CD?

― gareth, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

gareth, i dunno if anything exists such as a xenakis entry-point cd; he's a very bovversome greek, he is. (errr...was.) i would actually suggest "electronic music" which collects 5 or 6 (i dont haf it infront of me) shorter, slightly more "accessible" pieces (in the relative sense...on another thread i compared some of them to oval, et al.) d'eer is a 42 minute, unindexed noize composition, not exactly easy listening. if you can find it, you also might want to look out for persepolis.

― jess, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gareth - you WILL like it, betcha.
