I haven't seen a thread devoted to Aidan Baker. The guy is releasing albums like whoa, and I thought it would be nice to have a place to keep track of them. Despite how often he releases new recordings and re-releases re-mastered "old" ones, I haven't been disappointed with many of them.
Search: Nadja - Body Cage Nadja - Truth Becomes Death* Nadja - Touched (re-issue) Nadja - Bliss Torn from Emptiness (cd-r)* Nadja - Thaumogenesis Aidan Baker - Oneiromancer (& untitled live set disc) Aidan Baker - The Sea Swells a Bit* Aidan Baker - Green & Cold Nadja/Atavist split*
* = career highlights imo
Destroy: Arc (So far I haven't heard a thing by Arc that didn't sound like generic chill-out from the early 90s) Aidan Baker - Broken & Remade (it has its moments, but meh...) possibly his new release 'Figures'

I wouldn't say the atavist split was a career highlight for either band. Body cage (reissue), Touched (reissue) and Truth Becomes Death are those. The cd on Archive is pretty close too. Aidan has tons of solo releases, pretty much impossible to find now but I know a few people who do actually own it all.
Arc are not bad actually.

I haven't actually heard anything by Atavist, but I'm feeling the split right now. I should have put an asterisk by Body Cage and the Touched re-issue, too. Didn't want to come off a total fanboy.

these are good, especially the live set included with Oneiromancer. but my fave Baker has to be either At the Fountain of Thirst) or Loop Studies One. i happen to prefer Arc to Nadja. sometimes you just want to step out of the oppressive gloom and, y'know, chill.

The self-titled Atavist is very good. New album out later this year apparently. They have also signed a north american deal with Profoundlore.
