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

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. Confused  (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'! LOL  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!!
 
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 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! Big%20smile

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

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

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 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. Ouch

(The ones I have are only copies anyway, but I got them from 'Renaldo' himself! LOL  So I guess that's ok... Ermm)

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.

TH's band The Work...thoughts?
 
Wayside makes it seem like greatness stacked on top of awesomeness inside of wowzawoo. It indeed sounds interesting and something I should like but I've never heard of them before so I thought I'd inquire to the experts.
 
I've always had mixed feelings about The Work. Tim Hodgkinson and Bill Gilonis did some interesting EPs prior to The The Work (collected on the excellent Woof 7" compilation), and I'd recommend them wholeheartedly. Then came Slow Crimes, which owed as much to the anarcho punk of Crass as it did to RIO. Nothing wrong with Crass, btw, but Tim Hodgkinson's lead vocals aren's up to much and (for me) the album doesn't really stand up to the test of time. Shortly thereafter was the lo-fi Live in Japan with Chris Cutler on drums and Amos (aka L Voag, Xentos etc) on bass. It's actually pretty good. Then there was a hiatus of several years, and they bounced back with Rubber Cage, which managed to deliver (finally) what the early Gilonis/Hodgkinson EPs promised.
 
Most of their output is available on emusic, which is definitely the best way to acquire it (especially Slow Crimes) if you're not sure about them.
 
Thanks! Smile Rubber Cage sounded the most interesting to me, which seems like a good thing.
 
Helpful as ever. Hug
Dig me...But don't...Bury me

Found this on mindawn (hope they don't mind me reposting the summary):

Francois Ribac Le Regard de Lyncee

A great French musicologist, François RIBAC is also an appreciated composer in today's scene. After "Musiques Pour La Scène" (1989), "La Nef Du Roi Moselle" is a kind of never-heard cross-over opera, created to accompany Didier DOUMERGUE's show. Due to his great musical knowledge, he blends Progressive rock (Jean-Pascal BOFFO), medieval music, classical opera choirs, new musics influences (ART ZOYD, UNIVERS ZERO...) and German classical music (BRECHT, WEILL...). A true new and fascinating blending ! Female singer Eva SCHWABE is guesting on the album, as for the Rodemack Choir (This is a preserved medieval village sit along the Moselle river in France)."Le Regard De Lyncée" (2000) is his newest opus, sounding pretty much like a contemporary opera.
