that should give you something to work with

I enjoy Autechre. Sometimes they can be cold and barren, and at other times, they have a fairly warm sound. Get Chiastic Slide.

wow i totally did not read the "dark" part.... disregard my list



epic fail, harrison. epic ****in fail

i recommend the incredible flying torture orchestra

I love them. went to their show last april i think, it was in toronto.

yeah i saw them last semester, and am seeing them again next month with a place to bury strangers. i can't wait

That'll be a good show. I saw Holy F'uck supporting Deerhoof last year, they were absolutely fantastic live and so I checked their record out and yeah...really good band. A Place to Bury Strangers are also sweet, although they certainly do borrow A LOT of influence from The Jesus and MAry Chain's Psychocandy. But together that'll be a brilliant show.

yep Autechre is a good shout.

Chiastic Slide is a good start, but then so is Amber or LP5 or Tri-Repetae (sp?). Autechre is the ****ing bomb.

i've been debating whether to see autechre on april 14. i have heard they are really great live, and would love to see them, but the tickets are $18

Well I'm seeing them on Saturday, so I'll let ya know how that goes. I can't wait.

Doll Doll Doll by Venetian Snares is pretty dark. He samples the automated message from the number you could call if you had information about the murder of Jean Benet Ramsey.

Wait..what? This is a bad thing? I'd definitely pay 18 bucks to see Autechre live. Unfortunately, no one ever comes around near where I live (Kentucky). So 18 bucks turns into 50 bucks in gas, 50 bucks for hotel, food, etc....

Aphex Twin.

I agree... 18 bucks is cheap for Autechre. As for accommodation... you could try staying at an internet cafe for the night. From my experience, that is cheaper than any backpacker's lodge.

INSANE CLOWN POSSE


but yeah aphex twin

Torture Device by Dawn of Ashes

THE KNIFE.

pretty dark at times.

Checkout some Amon Tobin sometime.

dj shadow is quite dark i reckon. and massive attack is an obvious one.

go to emusic.com, that site is da bomb diggidy...
