See I tend to go for 6. I think it's the most 'together' of the lot, and I sense some kind of red thread running through it. Pretty electronic too but in a soothing manner.

Also, in reference to the op, Italian band Jacula. They practically invented the doom genre with their two first albums. Sporting one particular 68 year old Charles Tiring on the pipe organ.

Wow...that is intense. And fully improv!  Thanks for the links.
 
Glad yr enjoyed it heheh........thing i love abt Supersilent is whatever they do its still got a ROCK and PROG edge to it, its not free jazz or scrapy improv (nuthin wrong with those but you know what i mean).......
 
Yeah, I do love some free jazz / improv / skronk when in the right frame of mind, but I certainly can't listen to it all the time.
 
I see that 7 is DVD only which is a shame - I rarely watch music DVDs even if I buy them, so I don't like buying them.  I don't know if you could suggest a point of entry for Supersilent from what's available on CD...?
 
Agree on 7.
 
I prefer their eariler stuff. The boxset of 1-3 is very good but much more avant-jazz and less withj electronics and more ugency than their later years. Thouggh all that material can be a little daughtting for jumping straight into. 4 is also top notch IMO, taking the two worlds and putting them together. Of the later stuff I like 8 the best.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Good album is ZOMBIE. eerie, dark ominous music at its finest from the Italian greats. ;)

 
Another for my growing list. I only know them from s/t for Suspiria (which I've heard but don't own) - quite something!  Thanks for the suggestion.

LOL It's been a blast reading Tom Ozric and Guldbamsen's posts.
Has anyone mentioned IN THE WOODS... yet ?  "Omnio" is a freaking monster that i hesitate to introduce to anyone in case they get frightenedLOL but it's dark and atmospheric and i love it.

Well I like Blake (coincidental that the John Zorn album cover posted earlier also had a reference!) though I have limited experience with Black Metal.  But this has got to be worth checking out, thank you.

I've never been much interested in Porcupine Tree, but already had a 'note to self' to look into Mothlite. Also I recently got hold of his remixes of Larks' Tongues In Aspic which are just superb, so he's gone way up in my estimation as a producer. Bass Communion is now added to my list for investigation, thank you.

Try John Zorn's Ipsissiumus and get back to me.

 
I am going to do that. Way past time I caught up with some of his projects.  Thanks for the pointer.

Allright Tom - I have to log off now and make sensible things such as water my mother's orchids and prep a nice little pasta sauce.

Cheers man - nice to meet you!
 
I'm a bit of a Yeti fan as I mentioned in the OP. Really intense stuff that is a bit RIO, a bit Zeuhl, a bit heavy prog - not sure if I would ultimately have classifed them as RIO, but that's where they are on the site.
 
If you try them and like them you should also check out Tarantula Hawk, another US band who were active at around the same time and worked in a similar vein. They had two albums - to make matters as confusing as possible both records were self-titled and none of the tracks had names. But both are good.
After many years, I've revisited my Yeti album as a result of this thread, and it sounds even better than I remembered.  Wowzers. This just might be a 5 star album, a rating I try to save for only the most special albums to my heart.  Maybe..... Anyhoo, I'm inclined to check out this Tarantula Hawk of which you speak.
