I just got John Coltrane's A Love Supreme as well as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. Can anyone here make other suggestions of great jazz albums? Never knew I would like jazz but in fact I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Dunno if this has been done or if it will work. Same thing as the film thread, except with albums. Rule: You must've listened through the whole album recently. Don't talk about some album you had heard a year ago, or an album where you've heard a couple of tracks out of from some playlist or whilst shuffling your library. Also, it'd be nice if you gave us some sort of idea what the genre is, or what it sounds like. Anyways, here goes. Oval's Wohnton (1992): 7/10 It's essentially Oval's later glitch sound mixed with Trip-Hop and a German vocalist. As a result, it's a lot more accessible than Oval's other work. I'll have to give it another listen through.

We have a jazz thead. Why souldn't we have a Hip Hop/Rap thread aswell? When i was younger.. All i listened to was hip hop. I haven't listened or been into for a couple of years now, but i'm starting to get into it again. It's genre which contain some of the best and worst music ever made. I can understand why some people love it, and why some people hate it. But awful rap music seems to be a more nowadays kind of thing, so much amazing rap music was made in the 80's & 90's.

Okay, there's gotta be some tunes you don't really want people noticing as they scroll through your collection. First up for me is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvLnt-upfzQ

I have a 6 track (around 10 mins per side) ep I was wanting to get pressed to vinyl and distribute to some local record shops and my bandcamp. I thought 10" was the way to go so I got a quote from pirate press. I knew it would be high but was not expecting $1,500 for 100ea with artwork. Should I go back and get a quote for 12" 45rpm instead? Or is this about the average cost for a short run? I wasn't expecting to actually make money doing this but at least the potential to break even would be nice. Am I looking at this the wrong way? I know I could just do cassettes because they're all the rage and much cheaper AND DIY but I don't even have a working cassette deck either.

I'm not naming names but you know who I'm talking about. Artists that parody famous people's names by switching some letters around. Only one that ever had some working value I thought was Bit Meddler. At least that had some creative meaning. Outside of that trend there are just some that are plain bad.

I've been obsessed with Devo lately. A few weeks ago, I heard Whip It on the radio an it got stuck in my head. As a result I started listening to their stuff and reading articles, interviews, watching their videos, etc. And I find them fascinating. I already knew about the dualism, the not-so subtle irony that impregnates all of their artistic efforts. Those happy, silly, upbeat songs, that seem like thoughtless, mindless fun at first listen, but actually are actually charged with critique, pessimism, and black, acid humor. But I already knew about that and I'm sure so do you. But what has been fascinating me ove the course of my discovering of this band is the fact t…

A lot of monthly electronic nights and special events that were coming up are now streaming rather than occurring in a live social setting. There are too many events make a dedicated topic for each one, so let's post them here and WATMM's can tune in as they happen. So I'll start. Vic Acid is a monthly braindance series in Victoria B.C, Canada organised by Hrdvsion. Tonight's edition is streaming now (in light of the social distancing directive) for the next few hours. Tune in here: https://wheel.fm/video/ So As these occur to you all just keep posting them so we can tune in during our evening Internet browsings!

Inspired by the "what got you into music" thread, I decided to expand on the video game music discussion. There's some real classic electronic music contained in old videogames, and probably lots of things people haven't heard. I'm not really into chiptunes, or listen to that kind of 8bit style at all, but that kind of discussion would be good too. Also someone posted some sonic/michael jackson remixes a while back which I thought was awesome but haven't been able to find it again. Some of the best videogame music I've heard was from a PC game in 1993 called SkyRoads, and it was actually a huge technical error that somehow made the music better than how it was origina…

For some reason I've never dabbled too much into classical music asides from Satie and Arvo Part. WATMM, please tell me about some great classical pieces, old or contemporary, doesn't matter. Thanks dudes!

Shit this guy is such a slut in terms of trying to supplant his career by collaborating with everyone on earth. But then, he's mixed up with the fucking Kardashians, so how smart is that? I can connect Richard James to Kim in 3 people lol Rich>Chris Cunningham>Kanye West>Kim

let's go way back, back into time. let's educate one another with some 1980's synthpop / new wave / electropop / minimal wave / cyberpunk / flexipop, or whatever you want to call it. i'll start. this is a swedish band called Tre. only one 7" released, but they got the sound right alright.

Well the WATMM server wiped out the prior Coil thread so we may as well have a new one for people like myself who like to ramble about Coil until the proverbial cows come home. I'm very much looking forward to getting Colour Sound Oblivion in the mail. It'll be nice to see so elaborate a package in the "flesh", so to speak, as we may have something similar to look forward to in the coming years, as Sleaz has mentioned the possibility of issuing the entire Coil catalog on Blu-Ray with "many things that could be exclusive to that set". He says he would only do this if Blu-Ray is established as a standard medium for audio playback, which may or may not be very likely. I…
