Phallus Dei, A Day In The Life Of Brian Wilson. Atmospheric experimental psychedustrial. That's the pretentious genre I'm going to put on this album. Whatever it is, it's great stuff. Thanks Bob!

so glad you enjoyed the entire album....i agree this is a bit hard to place...i kind of feel like listening to this album is like being wisked away by a tornado, landing in Oz....but instead of munchkins the flying monkeys are your friend and Oz is run by a green witch

Swans - The Seer

Thought it started off a bit slow, and maybe found Lunacy leaning towards tackiness, thought it was a little patchy until the title track, which was an easy sell to me, and it improved by loads after that.

Disc 2 is pure ****ing gold.

I'm not great with double albums. I usually find them patchy, unnecessarily long, and full of filler, but I'm pleased with this. I am really surprised though, by how fast it's shot into the top 1000 on RYM. I wouldn't personally call it an instant classic, but it's got a lot of greatness to it.

this is pretty much my thoughts as of now....basically the first disc is a continuation of the previous album....which in my opinion is a little louder than any other Angels of Light album

but the second disc....now this is what i've been waiting for...a continuation of the band Swans

so solely based on short weird reviews i got these to albums

Cat's Eyes - Cat's Eyes

review i read...

Quote:

"Lee & Nancy or Serge & Jane via NIck & Lydia."

so personally i see all six of them at times...which is in no way a bad thing....but this album is soooooo much more....ranging from groovy 60s rock into minimalist chamber pop and back into noisy ambient trip hop....all blended together with hurting lyrics and haunting melodies

pedestrian....i really think you should check this one out....i think you would dig it :)

Planningtorock - W

review i read...

Quote:

"You know the thing behind the dumpster at Winkie’s in Mullholland Drive? I think it made an album. It’s creepy, lovely, and other-worldly."

this one is little harder for me...it's good and in many ways it holds very true to that review...but it may just be my mood

i'm guessing from what i've read this is a one woman act...if so there is no denying she has an odd yet mesmerizing voice and the compositions are simplistic, oddly fun, and certainly unique to my ears

Cat's Eyes is some kind of side project of The Horrors, is it not? It's been in the back of my mind (and lastfm) for a while now. Planningtorock is also on the list. Really enjoyed Have it All.

Autechre - Incunabula, Amber, Oversteps, Quaristice, Skin Up Before You're Already Dead, Tri Repetae

apparently they are.....and i will be looking into them asap

also having really listened to the Planningtorock album tonight while driving...wow...to be honest had i heard this last year....it would be within my top ten for the year....to be absolute honest it sounds like an album that thing from Mulholland Drive would make....which is not a bad thing at all

seriously i cannot put my finger on it....it's just a damn weird pop album

needed more electronica so I got:-

Boards of Canada - Acid Memories, Aquarius, Boc Maxima, Hi Scores, In a Beautiful Place etc.., The Campfire Headphase, Trans Canada Highway, Twoism

Squarepusher - s/t, Big Loada, Feed Me Weird Things, Hard Normal Daddy, Hello Everything, Numbers Lucent

Just realised they're playing here in Melbourne on Friday. Might have to check them out.

Enjoying this album but it's also driving me nuts because it sounds so familiar in that it reminds me of something else and I just can't place it.

even more electronica:-

Air - Moon Safari (10th Anniversary Edition)
Daft Punk - Human After All
Fujiya & Miyagi - Transparent Things, Ventriloquizzing, Lightbulbs
Hot Chip - Coming On Strong, Half, Made in the Dark, One Life Stand, The Warning

The Apples in Stereo - the discovery of a world etc, The Velocity of Sound, Travellers in Space and Time
The High Llamas - Buzzle Bee, Can Cladders, Hawaii, Snowbug, Talahomi Way

last album i bought was Piece of Mind, but i really want hellbent for leather

Sort-of underwhelmed, but still find it better than "the hungry saw".
