if i like matmos and want to find other artists similar to him, who else should i listen to?

Is everyone paying attention to this thread?

It's almost possible. Just look like you're about to puke on your laptop when performing, and you're halfway there.

Some tracks to check out:
Hakan Lidbo : The Mobos & Mogies EP, the "Open Session" 12"

Tony Senghore feat. 7K : "Herbalise Me"

Tony Senghore: "This is It", "Presha/Wrong Hands", the "Tony Senghore Against Martin Venetjoki" 12"... there's just way too much to list actually.. and he remixed everybody as well, making it more complex.

Martin Venetjoki: forget the single, but it has a picture of a side view of colored book pages glued together. There's a neat noisy disco-ish song on it that never fails to get the floor movin'

La Cienda Honduras: the "Sweetness" and "Everybody Dance" (feat. Hakan Lidbo) 12"s

Wackdaddies: the Fear Of A Wack Planet 2LP.. actually most stuff by Wackdaddies is damn fine.

Just look up these names in discogs.com and go crazy. Their respective discographies and remixes are insanely large, and they all have excellent hit/miss ratios.

..also, for obvious reasons, you should pick up the self titled Vanity 6 album, and the "Drive Me Wild" 12" by them as well.

...

As for stuff along the lines of "Do you Want New Wave Or Do You Want The Soft Pink Truth?".. hmmm, that's harder, as I think that EP is quite unique and much harder and in your face, given the nature of the idea behind the EP.

I know of a great electronic/klash/kinda-industrial duo from Vancouver called Primes (or PR1M35) (featuring Jack from Radio Berlin) who self-released an EP, and might be releasing something that's a split single on Henan Elias's Fatal records soon...
Here's a link for some Primes goods online. They are extremely fun live, too. Anyway, I think they would be perfect openers for a "Do You Want New Wave.." type Soft Pink Truth show, if they were to play together.

Roger Vadim's film "Barbarella"
Kaotic Chemistry "Drum Trip II"
Coil "Love's Secret Domain"
Tetley's British Blend circular teabags
the 850 Geary Street apartment building
Robbie Basho "The Seal of the Blue Lotus"
Laetitia Sonami "What Happened"
The Magazine store on Larkin street
Enoch Light & The Light Brigade - all . . .
Karlheinz Stockhausen "Mikrophonie"
Straight to Hell porn zine, edited by Boyd McDonald
the Red Rocket Theater company (R.I.P.)
Diet Popstitute aka Michael Collins
FUSE "Dimension Intrusion"
Church of Ecstasy "Crucify the Acid" 12"

As is (pun intended) the Karl Bonnie (of RSW) and Holger Hiller collaboration Ohi Ho Bang Bang, who put out one single, "The Three", which basically takes Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz"'s drum loop and adds a fun dancey cacophony over the track. One of the remixes throws in some old swing samples as well.. very Foetus.

Although Werd Leinad should sign to Kompakt or Bpitch immediately! I heard he's awesome.

start a Hiller thread donut, it is a fucking crime that we lack one

nymphomatriarch, radioboy and utlra red might do the trick.

drew once contributed an article on musique concrete to pitchfork that might also suggest avenues of exploration.

p.s. is this supposed to be a momus thread?

(or, possibly, Matt Moss)
