Nurse With Wound - Soliloquy For Lilith (as close to perfect as music gets)

Yoshi Wada - Lament... ('Singing' in particular will leave you floored)

Coil - The Industrial Use of Semen... (words fail me)

Charlemagne Palestine - The Apocalypse Will Blossom

Mirror - Still Valley

Been meaning to check the woman out for a while as have heard nothing but glowing reports, but never actually heard the music. What's considered the jewel in her crown like? And what does she actually sound like?

All help massively appreciated.

In work doing overtime, so it's an endless stream of audio distractions... Taj-Mahal Travellers - July 15, 1972 Woods - Family Creeps Aphex Twin - Drukqs Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz Yoshi Wada - The Appointed Cloud Fraction - Moon Blood Codeine - The White Birch Soundgarden - Bad Motor Finger The Ne...

Still reckon the best TNB I've heard is Das Zerstoren Zum Gebaren on Blossoming Noise. The actual performance at ATP was fucking mindblowing, and sounds even better on cd - nice clear, huge mastering from Mr Romero. Such a psychedelic album, pure brutal beauty. Wasn't really a fan of The Voluptuist ...

One of my all time favourite electronic/laptop artists. I think some people just know the Black Magic Pond-style stuff, which is fucking incredible, but the more spacious, low-volume assaults are definately where it's at. Magical Crystal Blah Vol 3 in particular - total joy. I don't know why Soft Pu...

Just got into this band after checking out Danial Higgs' solo stuff (which is incredible). Picked up Rainbows From Atoms the other week and it has wiped the floor with my ass every time it's been anywhere near a cd player. Genuinely something else like - Higgs is one of the finest lyricists and voca...

As for modern Krautrock, or at least bands that keep the flame burning in a variety of ways, check out Religious Knives. Their new live album on Archive is incredible, really stripped back and simple and totally motorik! The studio stuff (which is mostly collections of ltd cdrs/tour splits etc) is w...

Skullflower are probably the only band where I still try and pick up everything I can. I tried with Keiji Haino, but Jesus... That said, I was pretty much ecstatic over the nrelease of any new Mouthus material until I heard that X2 12" on No Fun there - wow. What a pile of shit. Reigning things in a...

Discovering the joys of Borges for the first time. Labyrinths (collection of short stories) blew my mind like nothing else sine Blake and Beckett. The man is a genius. Three Version of Judas especially is fantastic. Such a simple concept, but beautifully written. If you haven't checked him out, do s...

In no particular order: Consumer Electronics - Nobody's Ugly Mouthus - Saw A Halo Loren Connors - Hymn of the North Star Neokarma Jooklo Sextet - Live at Scaldeci Ricardo Villalobos - Fabric Mix Caspa & Rusko - Fabric Live Kousokuya - Ray Night October 2006 The New Blockaders - Das Zerstoren, Zum Ge...

I forgot to mention Gorguts. Obscura is such a landmark. What an album. Still ranks as one of my all time favourite records. That huge, snaking behemoth of a riff in Nostalgia is something else like. It's wierd how the end of the 90s saw a silly amount of bands record their career bests. There seem...

Diamanda Galas - Plague Mass

Mouthus - Saw A Halo Han Bennick & Terrie Ex - Zeng! Majye Ratke - Voice Skulldisco - Soundboy Punishments (x2 cd) Half Japanese - Sing No Evil Religious Knoves - Remains Moha! - Norwegianism Yoke & Yohs - 7" The Bug - Skeng 12" John Wiese - Spectral Hand 7" Peter Brotzmann Octet - The Complete Mach...

For a great overview of live Haino action, check out Revealed To None As Yet An Expedience To Utterly Vanish Consciousness While Still Alive . Double CD out on Important. CD1 = live electronics/vocal/percussion + CD2 = live hurdy-gurdy and vocals. Both are brilliantly psychedelic, and the album come...

I agree, a lot of his digital material is pretty ('samey' is definately the wrong word)...streamlined. But Merzbuddha is fucking genius. Really deep, low, crawling noise - the layering and development is so subtle, and the whole thing is so soothing it's unbelievable. I saw him live at the Vincent G...

Blair man, I'll see you there.

If I can't find you, mail me your mob number - should have got it off you at SubCurrent.

Can't fucking wait.

Boudisque is fucking quality. Was able to get some Raison d'Etre, Deathspell Omega, Coil, Schloss Tegal etc there - all cheap as fuck. They stock a lot of more mainstream stuff, but one half of the shop is pure gold. You won't get a real feel for it until you actually go there though. Haringpakkerss...

That Unicorn album is fantastic. Maho Kyoto is an absolute classic.

As for sleeping albums, anything by Raison d'Etre, live Coil material, Rhodri Davies, Drift Yellow Swans, or Ruhr Hunter.

Sleeping with a few spliffs = Skullflower - Orange Canyon Mind!
