It's strange how you have a kickass band like Hollenthon mixed in with all that garbage.

i've told you guys i don't like blacks, haven't i?

I didn't know Toby's new album was out! :O

What do Alligator Crystal Moth do? I like the name :o

re:
 

ACM is a collaboration between brad rose (the north sea, corsican paintbrush, etc.) and micheal donnolly (brothers of the occult sisterhood, 6magik9, etc.).
really primal free-psych exploration at it's most direct and clear.

Sounds neat.

Got anything electronic to reommend?

threads like this make me feel so totally uninformed. i've never heard of even one of those bands. :(

love at misplaced childhood
I downloaded a 2cd version of that album with a bunch of demos and alternate mixes, its so very pretty

what Sadie said. Minus The Darkness and Marillion though. Wy is there such a major frequency of obscure-band listing around here?

re:
 

the marillion stuff is great. really fantastic band.
but, really, there aren't many "obscure band" (really, what may be obscure amongst one group won't be amongst another) listings around here at all.
if you haven't heard of it, check it out. you might like it... internet makes new music easy.

Yes, that's a fact; but I don't download music nowadays.

re:
 

you lose.

ive just come to accept the fact that anything mitchell lists will make me feel uninformed. he usually has some pretty good taste though

speaking of which, mitch, i have some stuff for you, if you are into electronic grindcore stuff, like Curse of the Golden Vampire :O

Weren't they on Ipecac?

That list has some interesting stuff, but the Darkness instantly devalues all of it.

bad bumper?
ninjavenom, i somehow managed to ignore you twice in this thread! was just running back through it to remind myself how awesome i am (or rather, which fuckwad it was who dissed the darkness) and noticed... SORRY!!! I SUCK AT INTERNETS!!!
as for electronic stuff, i haven't been listening to much of it lately, but i do dig some... i don't think you can beat pierre bastien! dude builds his own robots who play instruments. uber-electronical!!!!! i used to really love add n to (x) and i heard their new album was really great. gotta check it out myself. small rocks have an album called "carbondating" that i really dig. check it if you like the zanier mouse on mars or blectum from blechdom stuff. i liked both of the soft pink truth albums and matmos already rule the roost, of course. pluramon's "dreams top rock" has been a great soundtrack to moving into my new house... really beautiful, dreamy electro-pop. oh, and get everything by fennesz if you haven't already! remind me and i'll try to go more in-depth. not enough time to really get going on this or i'll fall even farther behind with real life!
as for electronic grindcore stuff, i haven't heard much at all, that's for sure. i don't care much for grind (assuck is actually the only band that comes to mind that i like at all, in fact), but i have heard good things from a friend about curse of the golden vampire. i ignored him at first (after hearing a short audio clip online that i didn't care for), but i'll try to remember to download an album next time i'm on soulseek. whatever you wanted to let me hear, shoot it at me. i'll listen to anything! even my girlfriend's new kelly clarkson cd! and i won't even pour melted crayons on it this time!
