Albums or Artists you use to clean your ears

You know how it goes. Get in a wave of listening to a bunch of new music. Start feeling real hyped about a new artist or sound etc. Then you go and throw on ___________ and suddenly all the new stuff feels trivial.

 

For me Tri Repetae and Ae in general. I love me some new music but yeah....sorry kids.

Ae in general.

 

yeah. but i've listened to autechre almost every day for ten years so it's one of those things that just makes me feel more like myself at this point.. which is always good for flushing out unwanted influences.

 

gantz graf in particular makes a nice enema

I'm not sure what you guys mean by ear cleansing. You mean something that just batters your senses? Or something that was done so well that not much has been able to reach it's level of awesome since?

There's not really much point listening to thrash once you've heard the first 3 slayer albums. Especially the first one. Most metal makes me feel that way actually, but for the respective pioneers of the other genres. :l

level of awesome since

k cool, I can proceed. :)

 

Onward to Golgotha - Incantation

Altars of Madness - Morbid Angel

Under the Sign of the Black Mark - Bathory (I think the other earlier ones may have had more impact if they were more accessible in the States early on, you had to import them way back then)

 

Something about those in the extreme metal category just struck a nerve that hasn't been struck much since the 15-20-whatever years that they came out.

 

Selected Ambient Works 85-92, haven't heard much else with a vibe like this that just feels so...right. It's still fresh every time I listen to it.

Tri Repetae is the cold mechanical and claustrophobic version of Saw 85-92. Different approach to a similar vibe, or something.

Disraeli Gears - Cream

Sad Wings of Destiny - Judas Priest, feels like nearly every popular metal idea is drawn directly from this album(and the next one after it).

 

I know there's a few more albums I go to for this, that have never let me down. My brain is just derping.

There are more metal people on WATMM than I would have guessed

 

But, uh...can't think of anything really. I mean, I still like most of the stuff I listened to back in the day pretty well, but my tastes change & generally what I'm most excited about is whatever music I'm currently into.

 

edit: I guess if I interpreted the question in a different way I'd say Jandek is good music to listen to when I start getting too focused on overly-complex technical stuff.

also some of the more off-the-wall free jazz/improv stuff like derek bailey, flaherty corsano duo, or peter brotzmann's machine gun (which is a fucking amazing album and would quite possibly appeal to some of the more extreme end of metal fans here too.
