decided not to make this a poll because of the high number of obscurities. but i'd be interested in hearing your favorites.

Hmm. I want everything. (Ergo, I want this comp.)

amazon has it!

This sounds great - it's also on Spotify fwiw.

Looks good, I'm just kind of confused why Edie Sedgwick is on the cover. The La Monte Young/Factory connection, I guess?

i just thought it was part of the proud tradition of putting random hot chicks on album covers to sell records.

the factory connection is a good guess but i'd be surprised if edie had ever even met la monte.

i listened to this after you posted about it once, jbr!
in fact, i have searched high and low for bagpipe drone that i liked as much as "The Pipe & drums Of The 2nd Battalion Scots Gaurd – Skye Boat Song" but come up empty. i think i even posted about it here at some point?

did i post about this already? memory like a sieve, i tell ya.

one of my favorites is the "lero, baluchistan" track.

Hahaha, that cover with Edie is so incongruous! Maybe she spoke in a nasal monotone.

i think it was on facebook :-/ -- it was a while ago!

my plea did not yield a lot of results the second time, but upthread there is a lot of good stuff from the first time i asked about bagpipe music Bagpipe Music

i will always cherish the memory of that campsite in wisconsin <3

anyway this comp is great if you have a taste for droning sounds

bagpipe drone... seek MacCrimmons Lament

Related to this, which I have long repped to all comers as an all time favourite:

^^ dialing in sampled this for the stunning 'imperfect fifths' - from the seriously underated 'ketalysergichmeta mother'.

i liked the bagpipe toon upthread and it's v good and droney but if i'm being totally honest i want one with some drums/rhythmic element
that's what i really like
drone + rhythm
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
boomp boomp boomp boomp

oops those booomps were supposed to have spaces between them
not like thumpthumpthump

Rolf Harris – Sun Arise

this one is my favorite discovery off this comp

isn't that a beaut?

lol @ "Miles Davies"

not really sure how that song fits into the drone picture tbh

The Coo Coo Bird is another fave but I had heard that one before, the Rolf was new to me

lol @ "Miles Davies"

yeah, i noticed that. i c/p'ed the tracklist from spotify.

yeah it is mistagged on there but I never noticed it until now

probably cheaper to license a Miles Davies track I would think, that other guy is pretty famous

(not on spotify in the us, sadly)

OK just in response to "Shostakovich, drone? Y/N" (I'd definitely vote N)-- same goes for a lot of the other classical pieces included in these comp discs-- I would like to respond with my perennial favourite piece of proto-drone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i-LN2AeiD4

solo piano proto-drone additions:

Liszt - Pensees des Morts
Schubert - Impromptu D899 no. 1
Debussy - Pas sur le Neige
Ravel - Le Gibet

Looks like these releases are all public-domain recordings? So these guys are basically making playlists for sale. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The drone and goth comps are both really cool ideas.

There was a ton of stuff on this that I really enjoyed! Wasn't sure what some of it had to do with drone, though.

via purple pyramid records (part of the cleopatra empire):

http://www.amazon.com/The-Roots-Of-Radiohead/dp/B0013SHY5W

no idea what the damned or the seeds have to do with radiohead, just putting it out there.

I see no Damned or Seeds there..

huh, weird, this is the track listing on spotify:

Tangerine Dream – Ultima Thule Pt 1
Hawkwind – Valium Ten (12" Version)
Brainticket – Egyptian Kings
MC5 – Kick Out the Jams (Original Uncensored Version)
Larry Fast (Nektar), Alan White (Yes) – On The Run
Gary Numan – Cars
The Legendary Pink Dots – Super
The Damned – Thanks For The Night
Jimmy Page – Wailing Sounds
Amon Guru – Dat Loop
Psychic TV – Set The Controls For The Heat Of The Sun
Chrome – Meet You In The Subway
Tangerine Dream – Ultima Thule Pt 2
Sky Saxon (of The Seeds) – Pushin’ Too Hard
Nico – All Tomorrow’s Parties

God Purple Pyramid are just the most shameless fuckers. (Good best-of Amon Duul II CD though)

Maybe, but for "The Roots of Drone" I'll forgive them.
