No. I've only ever heard 'Dawnrazor' and it sounds like Sisters sped up slightly to me? Maybe I should get my ears washed out . Even there image is stolen as far as I'm concerned. I had a friend who went out with one of the Nefs and I told her what i thought and she told him - I think he was offended slightly

Okay - Dawnrazor is not typical Nephilim, (in the same way that First, Last and Always is considered by many Goths to be typical Sisters while Floodlands & Vision Thang is not ), later Neffs albums were darker, heavier and slower to the point where Zoon (recorded as The Nefilim) was almost Death/Black metal (again, a move not appreciated by many Goths).
...and their image was lifted from Sergio Leone.  |coincidence! |
I will check out their later stuff.

Hi,
Maybe it was my having been brought up in a house with so much classical music ... pop music was fine, but I could see early on that a lot of it was vain and quite meaningless next to the house with 50k books of literature as mine had ... a lot of lyrics and pop music, just had nothing in it for me ... not that I would want to compare a pop singer to Renata Tebaldi, or Beverly Sills ...
When we moved from Madison, WI to Santa Barbara, I took with me 10 LP's that I simply could not allow them to go with the rest of the house stuffs (library alone cost the truck 2 trannies in Colorado mountains I was told!) and they were albums that "had meaning" to my experience and they "spoke" the things that I thought were important ... these albums were: (no order and I can't even remember the album names! )
1. Crosby, Still and Nash (Suite Judy Blue Eyes)
2. Procol Harum (with Whiter Shade of Pale)
3. Moody Blues (with Nights in White Satin)
4. Jimi Hendrix - Experience (Purple Haze)
5. Janis Joplin and Big Brother - Cheap Thrills
6. Chicago - Two
7, Led Zeppelin - First
8. Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda Da Vida
9. Credence Clearwater Revival - First album
10. The Beatles - White Album
All of these fit into the area that was busting radio apart in those days, and they all were special in their own way and quite progressive by the standards that we have today, when done on a comparative basis ... radio in those days was all AM and it stunk ... a lot of these folks broke the mold in popular music, and some were simply ... breaking the rules and doing their own thing.
When FM radio took up residence in Southern California (early 70's) it brought with it ... "mellower" radio than the AM band, and one of the things that it did to be hipper was to devote more time to longer cuts ... and these eventually led to a lot more music, and the likes of King Crimson being played - for example. (But not Moonchild, for example ... more like Epitath !!! few people could relate to that free form-ness right off the bat then!).
And promptly my music tastes changed ... I discovered the music scene in Europe, and I don't mean just London ... and the rest is history ... but I still think that those records have a lot in them that helped define and develop what we love to call "prog" these days ...

Dean I think this is cheating. By my reckoning that makes well over 100 albums in your list!

Seconded  , though DCD are included here as Prog-Folk, so that would make them prog (if one really cares about such dividing lines). I have all of their albums but their debut (which I'd like to get sooner or later), but Aion is probably my favourite, and it was also my introduction to the band.

Can't believe I forgot Stevie and Marvin. Shameful. You're probably the first person I know to express preference to the second Buggles album.

Nice thread:
110. Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim by Frank Sinatra.....
|
That's one I would like to check out. I found it in 1001 albums you must hear before you die.It looked interesting. I like Jobim, and I'm curious about the Sinatra interpretations. It must sound quite different than interpretations from Elis Regina or Astrud Gilberto.

I used to be on the Zappa forum but I haven't really went there too much lately. I always sorta evaporate from forums after awhile when my interest or the forum's interest drops.

Excellent choices. More of a Zen Arcade kind of guy myself though. But I'll always get a kick out of Lydia Lunch moaning her way through Death Valley 69... |
SonicDeath - were you once on the Zappa forum? I think I remember you. Your responses and forum name have a strangely familiar ring to them.
