The Knife - Silent Shout

[ATTACH=CONFIG]3668[/ATTACH]

Void of Silence, Grave of Civilization -- fuck yeah. Quite possibly the doomiest record I've heard since Shape of Despair. The vocals may get on one's nerves (it's the mournful Swans-esque style), but clean trumps growl 365 days of the year, in my book. Will have to check out their back catalog, see if it's as good.

Warren Zevon - A Quiet Normal Life: The Best of Warren Zevon

Audio Stax - Space Sound CD

This too

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

And again. RIYL: Agalloch, Swallow the Sun, Shape of Despair, the first Kayo Dot album. Average song length is a little over 10 minutes, and that's including the 3 minute prelude -- link.

It's reminding me of something else (again, Swans?), but I can't put my finger on it.

RIYL?

David Cloyd - I Could Disappear

^That's my least favorite PM album. Haven't listened to it in ages.

I'm on holidays, so I've spent most of the morning listening to a lot of discs:

Nina Simone - Nina Simone and Piano

Randy Crawford - Now we may begin

And finally, currently listening to these crazy guys:

The Bad Plus - Never Stop

Vickie, the Pizza Tapes is the shizzles, great get you through the worday music.

As for me-

Horace Silver- Song For My Father

Horace Silver Trio

Art Blakey- Three Blind Mice

Void of Silence, Grave of Civilization

And again.

RIYL?

Recommended if you like...? Required if you like...? Racially Inquisitive Yearners of Lore?

The Ocean, Heliocentral (instrumental version of Heliocentric) -- quite dig. Will have to investigate this "post-metal" genre further.

ahh. I actually knew that too! or I should have, from working at the school radio station for 2 years

I think I even picked it up from CMJ:NMM.

Junip -- Fields

Vicki and other Jose Gonzalez fans take note that Junip has been his band for 10 years but this is their debut album. Sounds cool.

Thanks, Al. I'll check it out.

Saez - J'Accuse

Love some songs, dislike some. Wish I spoke French. I think he released an English cd a bit ago under another name.

Just giving back, because you introduced me to JG. I think you'll like it. You add a Moog synthesizer and drums to Jose's voice and his guitar and you get this trio. More fleshed out and full. I liked it a lot. Then listened to their EPs. Also good.

Hindle Wakes - In the Nursery

Nice sleepytime music. Thanks, Dusty, for this.

Other than the dance numbers, of course.

Yeah, I that album.

Of Montreal -- False Priest

Anathema, Hindsight -- there is something about metal bands doing non-metal music that often turns out really interesting to me -- as in, can keep my interest over more than one listen. This one has definitely grown on me. I will have to admit to not "getting" A Natural Disaster when it first came out -- I really dig the material from that one now.

Other interesting bands that have really "broken out" -- Ulver, The Gathering (I'm specifically thinking of Home, in their case).

The Ocean, Heliocentral (instrumental version of Heliocentric) -- quite dig. Will have to investigate this "post-metal" genre further.

I've only recently discovered the post-metal genre in about the last year and I've found quite a bit of stuff that I like, if you haven't heard them yet try Red Sparowes, Russian Circles, and Pelican all of which are instrumental, and then of course there's Isis, Rosetta, Intronaut, MilanKu, OM and Old Man Gloom to name a few.

Another band, not really post-metal, just a band that for some reason I think you'd like is S
