Re93animator's Favorite Music!

[re93animator]

Ok, I hope I'm not wasting my time with this. This is the only forum I have time to post on, so I don’t really have another outlet to express my taste in music, but I’m hoping that at least some of you guys/gals have a somewhat eccentric taste. I love experimental/progressive music from noisy stuff/post-punk to John Zorn to avant-metal, and I’m eager to discover more and share my findings and thoughts with others, so… thread.

I’d love if others chimed in with discussion, suggestions, links, and whatnot. I’ll try to periodically put up some rundowns of favorite artists.

A handful of favorites to start:

Coil – Been my favorite for years. They were originally latched to the industrial scene, but really spread their wings and became one of the most creative and atmospheric bands ever. Their considerably long catalogue does flirt with pretention (such is the nature with this type of stuff, I guess), but the music is powerful and feels emotionally transcendental.

John Zorn (Solo, Naked City, Electric Masada, The Dreamers, Painkiller) – One of the most prolific and adventurous musicians I can think of. His catalogue is formidable, but if anyone wants particular album or song recs, I’d be happy to oblige. :) My only criticism is that he seems to throw sh*t at the wall and see what sticks. He releases like 10 albums a year now FFS.

... and a fun one to show friends:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wMpOLXrpLw

The Residents – Cult band that’s been around since the early 70s. They rely heavily on gimmick, and upon first glace their music might seem like intentional schlock, but they do have some crazy fun, surprisingly beautiful, & inspired stuff too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBvavPrNFNw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTI9I7GupWI

Pan.Thy.Monium – Avant-Death doom metal band with otherworldly keyboards/samples and a saxophone. One of the many projects of riffmaster Dan Swano.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-OmFXq_5jw

Neurosis – Maybe the most emotionally nihilistic 90s band I can think of along with early Godflesh and Swans. Naturally, being their weirdest album, I gravitate towards Enemy of the Sun most often. The use of sampling in their 90s output is probably the best I’ve heard in metal, and their later stuff is still very powerful and unique.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HJF9fg0u-M

Chrome – (Post)punk band often acknowledged as one of the harbingers of industrial music. The industrial label is so limiting though. I’ve heard them aptly described as The Stooges on acid, with amazingly weird use of samples, amps, and synths. Their later stuff seems to have been released pretty much to whore out the name though.

[re93animator]

Ulver – Progressed from Norwegian Black Metal to dynamic Coil worship. Any incarnation of the band is great (Perdition City is my favorite), and they’re still putting out really solid stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIyb88v3My0
Worthy of the sad songs thread:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB4xp5HyUxw
Fantastic live, with an emphasis on improv:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJsSar7_TXA

Manes – Same career trajectory as Ulver; black metal to odd trip hop-y metal/rock. Vilosophe is one my most played albums; really powerful sounding songs with great, expressive vocals (although as a fan of cookie monster and screeching cats, they took some getting used to).

oh man, lots of good stuff here. *taking notes*

[Swan]

I have heard about Coil and John Zorn/Naked City, but the albums I want don't seem immediately available so I've put off listening to them. :(

I love Neurosis and Ulver.

Alas, this will be a great thread. :up:

[re93animator]

Thanks guys!

I have heard about Coil and John Zorn/Naked City, but the albums I want don't seem immediately available so I've put off listening to them. :(


With Coil, youtube is the easiest outlet. Their albums are ridiculously priced. I’d start with Horse Rotorvator or Ape of Naples and put off Scatology and their myriad wanky improv albums for later.

With Zorn, I’d definitely start with the self-titled Naked City compilation. Such an insane catalogue though. It’d probably be easiest to just go down the youtube suggested videos rabbithole.:D

[re93animator]

Exuma – Some weird bluesy Caribbean music with a voodoo gimmick. This is the most soulful music I’ve ever heard using zombies as a prominent theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_z3KkZWE5k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWTaSNQULHE

Geinoh Yamashirogumi *heavy breathing* – The guy behind that weird tribal Akira soundtrack (my favorite score). Has other great stuff too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpDvtIt6Lsc

Akira Yamaoka - Nostalgic. Thankfully, this has never grown on me. Mostly minimal, atmospheric, beautiful, yadda yadda. He got less minimal as he went on, but Silent Hill 2, 3, & 4 are my favorite video game soundtracks (along with System Shock 2).

I used to have Blood Inside on loop back in 2006. Great instrumentalists!

[Little Devil]

Instrumental kind of music is my favorite kind [and more often than not, Prog rock and all derivatives has it]. There are a lot of bands/instrumentalists, however, that do basically the same thing inside the basic same motif ["ambient" musicians specially; It's really hard to find one that actually has a melodic line/motif and not just huge reverb and delay because "volume pedal"] and it kind of lets me down [not that I should expect anything really], but maybe because I'm expecting to hear that motif and fail to find any.

[Joel]

Yeah, it is easy to get lost in heavy reverb and take the easy way out. But it's also tough to have a rhythm that doesn't make things super conventional. Finding that balance between enough of a rhythm and plenty of room to shift gears and scribble on top (maybe using heavy reverb but more of a steel pedal sound/harmonized with a 3rd or a 5th) or just a constant note and play 3rds and 5ths on top..just a think line of melody leaving enough room for pads and vocals to swell up the rest...or just the sound of a hair dryer. Sometimes I wonder if just the sound of a hair dryer would be enough. Life is too crazy. AHHHHHHH!!

I'm not really a musician (I only dabble with software), but I looove artists whoring out the reverb. Especially the Devin Townsend-esque wall of sound that just piles layer on top of layer until everything sounds like a cacophonic clusterf*ck.:)

Sort of like this (don't fear the cover art):

Just curious as I try to navigate your musical taste, are you a fan of Alcest?

[re93animator]

I'm not too familiar with them (I think they toured with Opeth?). Youtubeing them now, and they sound good. I like the style, though I'd rather it be a little more aggressive or... macho (for lack of a better word)? Probably something I'll explore further later on. Gracias.

Yeah I was expecting you to say something about how aggressive it's NOT. Haha. I listened to their first album last night and dug it, just was curious what you thought about them.

I usually go the "simple" route. I play a motif of few notes and repeat them with the looper [usually 8 times to allow room for breath]. I then try to find a note that is harmonic in relation to those few other noters and let it hang over there with a healthy dose of reverb.
Add a second motif in relation to the first one [usually an octave higher] with fast Leslie/vibrato with my Flanger with it's rate almost maxed out [paired with chorus and delay for good measure]. Record it all and add a sweet soft solo on top as the cherry [which adds the prime motif].

yeah I know Devin. He teamed up with an Fxs company called Mooer and they developed a pedal with 2 delay engines + reverb+looper called Ocean Machine.

Devin Townsend's rare country ambient album is so damn good! The most recent, I think? So good...

Casualties of Cool. Yeah. I especially liked The Bridge. His most recent is called Transcendence. Pretty much more of what he's known for, but Stormbending is one of his best songs IMO.

[re93animator]

Thy Catafalque / Gire –The basis for Thy Catafalque is black metal, but they’ve become extremely dynamic. Frequent are experiments with classical, techno (?), ambient, and a sort of Hungarian folk sound. Gire is another project with Tomas Kitai (solo stuff is pretty good too); basically, the same thing with more death metal in lieu of black.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFi9_WwtdEM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY8qIpKGFW4
They've gotten better with age IMO:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxMXpasRGrE

O.L.D. – Their early grindcore vocals may be off-putting, but they got more experimental and creative as they progressed. I think Formula is crazy underrated. James Plotkin has a bunch of other interesting music worth exploring as well (specially Flux, which just sounds like more of Formula).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6DgWFldJL0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFuZzh1aCIg

Disembowelment – Death doom band with one LP. One really good LP. Less experimental than the aforementioned metal bands, but they still dabble in proggy ambiance.

Catafalque/Gire is akin to Dark Wave sub.genre ; that mix of metal with Synth music [more ambient is Dark Wave, more aggressive is Industrial]

[re93animator]

Mr. Bungle – I’ve got to include Bungle here, though I’ve sort of worn out their music. The early funk metal stuff doesn’t really appeal to me, but Disco Volante has always been one of my favorite albums. I hear more and more bands trying the ‘genre-hopping’ thing post-Bungle, but not-a-one has ever come close (apart from Secret Chiefs 3).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrXPvu6lYFY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm_7EFfPZvc

Secret Chiefs 3 - I actually prefer this to Bungle. This is the main project of Trey Spruance (Bungle’s guitarist), and it shows just how involved he was in the songwriting. The earlier output seemed like more of an experiment than anything, but the more recent output (starting with Book of Horizons) is matured instrumental music that ambitiously covers a seemingly endless array of genres with strong cinematic and Middle Eastern influence.

I also enjoy Mr. Bungle. I was introduced to them through their cover of My Name is Not Merv Griffin.

[re93animator]

S.U.P. / Superation (!!!) – I need to dedicate a whole post to these guys. I’m in love. I bought their entire discography within a month of discovery. Prog metal in the vein of Dan Swano’s stuff and Voivod. It’s hard to find a lesser song from them. The music is so catchy and instrumentally sound, the guitars have my beloved 90s crunch, and the clean & harsh vocals are perfect. Superation is a more straightforward & less creative death metal incarnation though (still good, just less interesting).

Machinations (a good representation):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV_tZEI4dVI

Bangs in my Head (their most catchy/accessible?). Ignore the intro:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLtLY4_12Z4

Ocean of Faces (a little softer/weirder):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tySCBLGXC14

Liberatio (more proggy):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ_4HL4nPqE

A Triangular Machine (skip to about 2:00 to bypass a somewhat repetitive intro):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwfP7Af6DoM

[re93animator]

The Gathering – They started with Doom Metal and gradually worked their way up to softer prog rock. Some of the metal stuff is great (Mandylion especially), but I personally think How to Measure a Planet is their peak. Good night driving music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pImXITJdp68
More metal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi_-6R4OxEo

Perpetual Ocean – Very creative prog/trip-hop/tribal/ambient/rock band. There’s not much like it, and most of the songs I’ve heard are pretty distinct from each other, making it difficult to get bored out of repetition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19EZN6LdUrk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL75PZYp9FU

The Billy Nayer Show – I discovered this band through The American Astronaut film, and followed the rabbit hole down through numerous albums. I wouldn’t say they’re amazing, but Cory McCabe is a true visionary artist and one of my favorite lyricists. This is sort of a bizarre rockabilly band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDqQRuY-Voo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvT-HPvHmTA

[re93animator]

Dalek – Unrelated to Doctor Who. ;) At their peak, they can be the darkest, heaviest hip-hop act I’ve ever heard. They also experiment with occasional softer, melancholic stylings. It’s rap, but it seems heavily influenced by power electronics, noise and experimental rock. They even did a collaboration with Faust.

Techno Animal – A side project of J. Broadrick of Godflesh. His experiments with hip hop are taken furthest with Brotherhood of the Bomb, one of the grittiest/noisiest hip hop albums you’ll find, with some nice sonic boom bass. The earlier stuff ventures more into ambient and industrial as well.

[re93animator]

I think Absence is their best. Abandoned Language is a nice 'calmer' album too.

Devin Townsend – I LIKE WALL OF SOUND. Another prolific guy with a super dynamic catalogue. Not the best lyricist, but I’ve found some of his music very emotionally resonant. I’m probably still underplaying how much I love this man; The Death of Music is my favorite song. A positive inspiration for me.

The Death of Music. My favorite song! Treat yourself: turn down the lighting, turn up the volume, get immersed. Please. It's a little indulgent, but you owe yourself the experience (if you’re into kind of pretentious ambient music :)):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDm8VrFrUf0

Stormbending. Still strong as ever. That f*cking second chorus:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhcoLO8vZZU

Strapping Young Lad – Devin Townsend’s manic side. A band equal parts angry and self-satirizing. Their catalogue may be hit and miss, but City may be the most genuinely angry album I’ve heard, and Alien sounds like musings from someone on the brink of madness. I don’t always listen to metal purely as a ‘release,’ but when I do, I prefer City. Stay angry my friends.

Do you like Pharmakon?

[77topaz]

Yeah, it is easy to get lost in heavy reverb and take the easy way out. But it's also tough to have a rhythm that doesn't make things super conventional. Finding that balance between enough of a rhythm and plenty of room to shift gears and scribble on top (maybe using heavy reverb but more of a steel pedal sound/harmonized with a 3rd or a 5th) or just a constant note and play 3rds and 5ths on top..just a think line of melody leaving enough room for pads and vocals to swell up the rest...or just the sound of a hair dryer. Sometimes I wonder if just the sound of a hair dryer would be enough. Life is too crazy. AHHHHHHH!!

I think Merzbow actually tried that at some point. :p

[re93animator]

Do you like Pharmakon?

Never heard of it. I scanned it on youtube though. Some of it's cool, but I dunno, I guess I've just sort of grown out of power electronics. I like when artists incorporate it but still have harsh melodic accompaniment. Maybe Gnaw Their Tongues is a good example. :)

Tops. That movie is the soundtrack. I actually wasn't aware they were a real band until now, ha. I'll be doing some digging of my own.

You should watch Stingray Sam if you haven't. :) For the band, their later stuff is more mature; their early stuff sounds a tad Bungle-inspired, but tends to get a little annoying. Youtube is unfortunately limited, but I've found some of their albums pretty cheap on amazon, and Cory McCabe's site.

I've never heard of Stingray Sam, but I've added it to the queue. In fact I'm making it the next movie I watch. I'll be sure to drop off some of that commentary I know you love so much. Seriously, McCabe's too talented to be hiding in rabbit holes. Or maybe I've just been living under a glorified rock.

[re93animator]

Godflesh – Lasting impact on me. Streetcleaner is my go to feeling nihilistic album; visit to Hell soundtrack. Their 90s output might not be as good, but it did venture into new territories. Justin Broadrick has a knack for crushing hip hop beats.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NlFoi8OAVg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AXNyaFlLHk

Swans – The early no wave output (the most difficult) laid the groundwork for Godflesh. I love the late 80s/90s stuff most though; awesome dissonant stuff ranging from dark ambiance to very experimental rock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3-vrMZ0lGU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrH7_qAeA8U

Ministry - Maybe my favorite band in my teens. I've overplayed the hell out of their music, but I still love it. I like every album a ton (even crazy experimental DSOTS). Also a huge inspiration for a bunch of my other favorites.

[re93animator]

Einsturzende Neubauten – I started to really love music with the discovery of weird industrial bands. Neubauten was my favorite for a long time. I've sort of worn out their harsh early stuff, but a lot of what came after is still great.

Nurse With Wound – Very 'difficult,' but an insanely imaginative project with a subtle, dark, & self-aware sense of humor, and Steve Stapleton is an even better visual artist IMO.

Yeah, not mine either, though back in the day I was blown away by the musicianship and freshness of the style. It's been done better many times over since, though.

Edge of Sanity's Crimson is another great example of it. I linked Pan Thy Monium earlier in the thread too. They're my favorites in the weird death-prog metal realm. There are many though. It's definitely my kind of music.
