Those are their two masterpieces. I couldn't recommend them more!

I definitely need more Univers Zero, particularly Heresie and Ceux Du Dehors. |

I think it's their finest, although Heresie is about equally as good. Good to hear you loved it!
Have you heard Uzed yet, BTW?

thought i would ask here. Anyone heard Otomo Yoshihide's new disc Core Anode?
The disc is a live recording of a concert played in the UK. There were two pieces played at the concert, an incredibly quite one and one where the musicians played as loud as possible. The track which has made it to disc is the loud version. Considering the line-up of musicians - who usually specialise in quite subtle improvisational environments - sounds like the recorded version would have been a tone of fun to play/watch. I have heard mixed views on the success of the disc, most of the people I know who dislike the disc usually don't go for the whole noise and rock spectrum of music, so it isn't a rounded view. |

I don't really like 'Title in Limbo' (that Rez collab.) either, but I'm rather fond of 'Songs for Swinging Larvae'. Their stuff is hard to come by - I'd love more but you either have to pay large dollars or do Naughty Things. (The ones I have are only copies anyway, but I got them from 'Renaldo' himself! So I guess that's ok... ) |

I haven't listened to them for years. I recently heard their collaboarative album with The Residents and wasn't that impressed, but I might give them another go in the near future if I can find any of their albums.

I think the Commercial Album is my favorite as well, but Mark of the Mole is damn close.

Does anyone here like Renaldo and the Loaf, I wonder? (Not sure what category you'd put them in, but still...)

I think it might be my favourite of theirs. Although it really is quite a horrible noise, and I'd be very embarrassed to be caught holding it (all those swastikas... ouch), it just has a certain something! Oh, wait a mo, maybe the Commercial Album is my favourite overall! |

It was Chris Cutler who was responsible for their music reaching the UK, and both he and Fred Frith have guested on assorted Residents albums, plus they're about as experimental as music gets - I think that makes them about as RIO as anybody else. 3rd Reich is a masterpiece of twisted beauty, and paved the way for Laibach's totalitarian vision of popular culture a decade or so later. Recently I've been playing Fingerprince a lot, but pretty much everything from the first decade is essential listening.

I love the Residents, but Third Reich and Roll never really clicked with me.

Hehe, I've been on a right little musical tangent today. Here there and everywhere.
Currently revisiting The Residents, 'The Third Reich 'n Roll'... I can't remember the last time I listened to this, and I'm not even sure why I like it so much. (PA seems to have them in the RIO/Avant category, so I guess I can mention 'em here... although my music player seems to think this is 'Pop'! Well, kinda...) All I can say is... I'm glad I've got headphones. Otherwise, I'd be hearing serious complaints for playing this one!! |

Drunken Forest is the only one I've got. I've heard very mixed reports about it but I like it a lot - I've liked just about everything I've heard with Ikue Mori and her contributions to the Electric Masada live albums are phenomenal. I'll pick up the other two sooner or later.

Ceux du Dehors is indeed a thing of rare yumminess.
There's a double live set by Offering on emusic if you haven't already downloaded it - if you like A Fiieh you'll probably love it, although it's a bit hit and miss.

also, Time Of Orchids are a great band (members have played with Toby Driver of Kayo Dot/motw); it is sad that they broke up. they had a really unique sound. I would recommend starting with their newest album and working backwards. Their first album is more hardcore than RIO/avant rock.....but still worthwhile. I love all of their material. check em out.

regarding Death Ambient, I would recommend their first two albums (cause I have not heard the newest one). They would be for fans of ambient (0bviously), free jazz, improv, darkness, and electronica (Ikue Mori's drum machine awesomeness). I really like them. They are quite off the beaten path, and you cannot go wrong with that lineup. They are a very subtle and yet surprising brew of music. I highly recommend. I will pick up Drunken Forest soon.

No, not as yet. I'm sure I will at some point. Thanks for the info, it's handy to know your thoughts - I wasn't entirely sure whether to bother with that stuff... Right now, I'm trying to get up to speed with all my recent RIO-and-related purchases!! |

Ceux du Dehors is yummy yummy yummy, how have I waited this long to hear it?
Melissa, have you heard Offering's A Fiileh yet? It's pretty good. The first five tracks are very Zeuhl (like Magma unplugged, with little to no bass and lots of piano) whilst the last tracks are extremely jazzy. |
