is in the ear of the beholder... I LOVE these bands, stuff i've been listening to recently...in no particular order. None of these are hotlinks, and..crap...many of these bands no longer exist. *sigh* NOTE THOUGH THAT YAKUZA, THE ENIGMA'S ELECTRIC ACID THEATRE, DELORENTOS, DUDLEY, DEAF RO, THERAPY?, LARGE MOUND, EARTH, BORIS, FIST FITE and many others ARE STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE AND KICKING MANY ASSES. -Yakuza (Belfast)-- and not merely because I mixed their upcoming record, not by a long shot. They have fascinating way of doing things, and songs that seem like they've always existed...yeah, that's the sort of muck I talk. -Talk Talk (and Marc Hollis) (UK); (every album. every one.) -City Of (and their various offspring)(Seattle) -the Delorentos (Dublin) -BORIS (Tokyo) -THE DUDLEY CORPORATION (in my dreams, I play guitar like dudley(Dublin) -THE ENIGMA and ELECTRIC ACID THEATRE- yeah, he may be 10000% covered with puzzle-piece tattoos and so forth, but the man is also an incredible pianist, as well as playing a dozen other instruments equally well. Including the Tesla Coil and chainsaw. -pretty much every record Jack Endino has done. One must rock to live. -EARTH. The early 'drone' records AND the more recent, achingly beautiful ones too. -LOS LOBOS and their extended family. Hail! -Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan -Feckin'THERAPY? (BRAND NEW RECORD DONE WITH ANDY GILL/GANG OF 4 PRODUCING!) -Large Mound -Fela Kuti -Terry Riley -LaMonte Young -THE MINUS 5 and their Dark Lord/Leading Light Mr. McOi. He also plays in some other band. -Isao Tomita -The Incredible Force of Junior (Seattle) long gone, shoulda been trillion sellers. Maximum Rock and Roll, reviewing a record I did for IFOJ, once threatened to kill anyone associated with them. That is all you need to know. -WORMWOOD (Seattle) -Mars Volta and At The Drive In -Mumblin' Deaf Ro (Dublin) -Hoover Cain and all Jim Sykes projects (Seattle/Peru) -Pretty much every Bill Laswell production -Andy Irvine/Paul Brady (Ireland) -R to the E to the M. -the Klaxons (UK) -FistFite (Portland!) It'd be absurd to keep going. The nevereverending list. These just popped to head.
