I heard "Fractal" is pretty good but I'm not sure what to start with. Help me out ILM!

Elliott Sharp: S&D

i like all his carbon stuff that i've heard, his string quartets are interesting, not anything special - i haven't gone back to them. there's loads out there. stuff that i don't think is mentioned on there that i've heard and like...

elliott sharp/bobby previte - prisoner's dilemma

he's often compared to zorn isn't he? i wish more of zorn's collab stuff would turn out like this. think far out guitar soundscapes, jazz/tribal/rock fusion drumming/percussion and some suble electronic manipulations.

START OFF WITH AMUSIA

it is to elliott sharp what naked city is to john zorn. maybe. its pretty easy to get into, has great moments, the ideas are all good but some of the results are a bit meh.
