    Loved the Bradley Kokay benefit compilation. Good work on putting this mammoth pack together, I'll take a listen and probably go for the digitals given my location 

    THANK YOU!

    Yeah, the shipping is about $25 to your parts, sadly.   Thanks for the support though!

    Only ever heard a few songs of his. Which albums/ songs should I start with if I wanted to get into his sizeable back catalogue?

    I am not an expert, but the song "Your Funeral My Trial" from the album of the same name is great, the whole album is not bad.  

    Murder Ballads is good for the most part.  Has a guest appearance by Kylie Minogue, singing a song about murder....  

    I love Grinderman, that is a louder, more rock-oriented side project.  

    But I'm basically in the same boat.  Want to investigate for some deeper cuts that are good.

  4. I didn't see anything in my search, except for threads on specific albums.  

    I see that more than one person thinks that NC has a couple good songs on each album at best.  

    I'm pretty impressed by Cave's Red Hand Files, so I'd like to dive back in.  

    I do like Your Funeral My Trial, Murder Ballads, and really not into anything else I've heard by the Bad Seeds or Mr. Cave proper. 

    I do like Grinderman and Birthday Party.  

    I am prompted now to know what out of all his songs I like, so it's time to go down that rabbit hole.  

    I also liked his cover of "Cosmic Dancer", and in general am a huge fan of Marc Bolan.  

     

    I wrote an article on The Red Hand Files:

    Thanks for posting this... I'm a basic bitch when it comes to noise, but I'm listening to UVB-76 now and it's really doing something for me.

    Thank you!  It's a very obscure project actually.  He only did two other CDs, and they're great, but I don't think you can hear them online at all, and I don't know if there is a way to purchase it brand new online.  I do think it is a unique project that deserves more attention, but I'm in the minority for sure.    Here is this month's interview, much more widely known artist, but still very unique!

    The no part of it interview series was a series of questions answered by 30+ people at the same time around March 2018.   A new entry is published on the 13th of each month.

    I wonder how many people will read this having not heard of dave phillips.  I started this series of "interviews" partly wanting to pick the brains of a number of people whose work I do not fully have at hand.  In dp's case, I have heard/bought quite a lot of it, he is very prolific, and interviewed him once before already, but I would add that he is still one of the foremost and distinctive noise artists in the history of the genre.  I'm not necessarily speaking in terms of popularity, but the most innovative, yet utilitarian approach to the totally open-ended idea of being able to do whatever one wants with recordings.  At times it is as raw and primal as it is classical and precise, transcending simple "fluxus" or "avant-garde" appelations.  His work is a genuine mythos of its own.  With that, at the risk of saying something less articulate than I have in the past, I'll just add a quote from the previous interview:

    When I saw him perform twice last year (2011), both sets were distinctly different, but both succeeded in affecting a certain aboriginal feeling in my body, by way of subsonic frequencies or animal instincts or what-have-you, and bypassed my natural inclination to be turned off by what I would normally call sanctimonious presentations in a performance context. One set consisted of several layers of untreated insect field recordings, like a choir that was conducted into an exhilarating sort of Eno-esque hum. Dave passed around infosheets that expounded upon the importance of bugs in the entire scheme of our food chain, and sat barefoot Indian style.

    The second set was even more visceral, a video montage of animals being skinned alive, a live wolf getting its leg hacked off and its head stomped into mush, or a dead monkey with the word “CRAP” carved into its forehead occupied the screen alongside messages like “errare humanum est” or “the self some imagine surviving death is a phantom even in life”. Walking around with a mask on, breathing into remote loop pedals, and triggering various sounds of animals screaming over string samples, Phillips chiseled together a dizzying miasma of tragically unnecessary pain, graphically unrelenting death, and the intrinsically cruel nature of human condition, who in its “civilized” state, refuses to tend to the ugly corners of reality. It was still the most effective exhibition I have ever seen, and I think that Dave Phillips will be remembered as a shining example of someone who transcended academic circles and noise or music scenes alike.

    Black Light District is top tier material, will have to grab the repress.

    I forgot to mention that one!  It was going for 30% off recently.  Not sure if it is now.    Essential for their ambient side.

  7. Drone Records in Germany is really a go-to for this, lesser known stuff.  

    Also, while NWW is mentioned in this thread, and I do love Soliloquoy for Lilith, "Salt" is one of my favorite drone/ambient things:

    No worries. ISO-skive is good for the odd bit of non-work refreshing *wink. Rediscovered in a Hawthonn interview with Phil Legard. Cheers for dropping those Unica Z tracks in too. Brilliant extension of styles, I don’t like every track, but when they nail it, ooooooph. Don’t see enough of them on here tbh.

    Anyway, shows that the writing sources could use a hub of sorts. Musicology, whatever you wanna label it,  just lob it in here if it’s Coil related folks.

    Hawthonn is good!  I don't remember if I mentioned them here, but I recently discovered them.  I also like their side projects on their bandcamp.  Recently picked up a lathe from them.
