(-: So you think "Freek Funk" is "shit" and now > you're slagging No-U-Turn. Please enlighten me (past listener to Lustmord, > oodles of In Slaughter Natives and other plenty-ass "dark" Industrial stuff) > what "dark" music actually sounds like. And tell us what you *do* love so > I can give it a good retaliatory slagging. Hehe (-: What I've heard of ISN has been kind of laughable, but I haven't heard much. Lustmord I'll give you - do you honestly think that No-U-Turn is as "dark" (for the record, I hate calling music "dark," but it seems to get the point across) as Heresy, however? What I do like that's IDM applicable (or not), in no real order: Autechre. 1/2 of Aphex (maybe less, but what I like, I like a lot). Godflesh/Techno Animal/Sidewinder/Solaris/Final. Mouse on Mars. Stravinsky. Scorn. Skinny Puppy - Last Rights only really, but it's a top 10 of all time. Sunny Day Real Estate. Nirvana. Pearl Jam. Coil. Current 93. Nurse with Wound. Einsturzende Neubauten (oodles). Aube. Can. The Hafler Trio. The Gate. John Fahey. Illusion of Safety. 0/Panasonic. Fushitsusha/Nijiumu. Many Siltbreeze records bands. Underworld. New Kingdom. Black Moon (oodles). Cypress Hill. DJ Krush. DJ Shadow. Slotek. Prince Charming. Dr. Israel. The rest of the Wordsound records, except Prince Paul's Psychoanalysis and the Laswell/Style Scott. Muslimgauze. My Bloody Valentine (oodles). Codeine. Photek. Beastie Boys. Rage Against the Machine. US Maple. Flying Luttenbachers. Zeni Geva. Ghost. Cosmic Invention. Third Eye Foundation. Hood. Flying Saucer Attack. John Coltrane. Cecil Taylor (only the crazy stuff though). Bartok. Barber. Smetena. Seefeel. etc. etc. etc. I keep a review archive at http://www.princeton.edu/~abpurvis/ if you're interested - I think about 50 long reviews up there now. Doesn't give much of an overview per se of what I like, however, but it'll give you something to rag on I'm sure (laugh). 24 minutes in Christmas left over here... --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
