Well I have One Shot's debut on my laptop and their second Vendredi 13 on CD, as well as Ewaz Vader, of course.
I now need Dark Shot.  Just for the record: Rate Your Music lists an album called Listen to my Heart under One Shot's discography and judging by the cover art, this is NOT by the same band.  Edited by James - September 07 2008 at 13:52 |

That is another one I'll have to get at some point, too. The samples from it on their myspace are really good! |

Plus it includes that DVD, doesn't it? Well my next Wayside order (which shall be a while yet... my current one still hasn't arrived, I fear it may have got stuck in Customs  ) will consist of the following:Kultivator - Barndomens Stigar One Shot - Dark Shot Magma - Kohntarkosz Volapuk - either the debut or Polyglot... we'll see when I make it Die Knoedel - Die Noodle! or their second album or Panorama (if they have them... if not. Greg may have them) And something by Soft Machine, most likely... one of their live albums. Oh and if anyone can find anyone who sells the following, I'll be eternally grateful: Katzen Kapell - Alla Hatar Min Man Katzen Kapell - Si tu veux Dun - Eros (going to be hard to find this) One Shot - One Shot (Wayside don't seem to sell it) Six Cylindres en Vie - ...Dernier cri |

I might also want to grab Dark Shot and Volapuk in my next Wayside order as well - but because Dark Shot includes that DVD it's fairly pricey. Might have to order from Greg soon as well because he's the only one I've found who has October Equus. edit: might also throw The Red Masque onto that Wayside order.

Great reminder! Also, to add to my list of CD wants, if someone finds a copy of that Pocket Orchestra album, I'd be a happy guy too. |

Just been sniffing around the RIO MP3 samples and I love the 3 songs from Art Zoyd. I looked around and their albums run from $27 to $40! Yikes, makes Magma albums look cheap. I checked Wayside and Synphonic. Doug Larson has none. Gemm is even more expensive. Amazon has MP3 download albums for $18, but I am a very tactile and visual person, particularly when it comes to my music collection. Does anybody have any idea where to get their CD's a little cheaper (or a lot).

I've looked around myself, and with a lot of these bands, if you want the CDs you're going to have to shell out a lot I'm afraid. I settled for getting their albums from emusic and sacrificed sound quality (and not really) and the physical medium for a vast reduction in cost. |

have you tried Amazon.com? I found they are around the $20 mark. At one time they had the japanese mini-lp cd reissues over at wayside. but they are not cheap. However, they are certainly worth it imo. |

I recommend Virtually and Noisette, Virtually if you like the material from Fourth. |

Hey Jake.
Yep, I think it's those two I'm after... I'm after the two live albums that contain the two versions of Facelift that formed the version on Third. I have a lot of live Soft Machine but neither of them are those two, I don't believe. |

Great work, Assaf!
 I still haven't got around to check out this band, but they do sound incredibly interesting to me. Keep on with the excellent work!

Guido Del Fabre : Agregats
I heard this interesting record the other day in a Parisian mediatheque and when I asked the librarian for the reference he asked me if I would be interested in other records from the same Canadian label Ambiences Magnetiques they had just received.
some samples on the labelwebsite : http://www.actuellecd.com/fr/cat/am_167/
I took also:
 Diane Labrosse: Musique pour objets en voie de disparition
samples :
which is very good and funny!!! .....with the cooperation of Marie Soleil Beranger and Benard Falaise from Miriodor
and
 Michel F Cote : (juste ) Claudette
haven't listened yet .... interesting label!

I've bought the INA GRM boxset from that website and there's other fascinating electro-acoustic and experimental music albums in there that are very worth looking into.
The next purchase from there will be the Bernard Parmegiani boxset with almost all of his output which has stellar releases.

I'm going to ask a strange question: what avant bands would you guys consider bad? I want to hear it because I'm questioning my ability to tell the difference, and when 90% of everything sucks, I'm surprised that there is so little negativity in this thread, or around any avant group.
You can get them even cheaper than on Amazon at eMusic, but you're going to pay for the CDs since they're OOP.

I've never liked Thinking Plague or 5uu's. I wouldn't call them bad, I would just say that they aren't my thing.

I would agree with you on Thinking Plague, although I'm enjoying Crisis in Clay so far. But both of those are critically acclaimed, so it's not really what I'm talking about. I want the Nickelback of avant-prog. Do they exist? It seems like they must.

Problem is since I'm so new to the scene, I get exposed to bands that most people think are awesome, particularly people whose taste I know to have high correlation with my own. I will say I don't think I've heard of a RIO/Avant band that's been universally despised; and to use rileydog's example, I really enjoy Thinking Plague, so I guess the worst I've seen is a sort of split decision. |

I'm sure there's bad stuff out there; I could blow into a microphone while playing random chords on a guitar and then overdub random bass notes over it and call it avant-prog. It's just that nobody would want to listen to it, and so nobody would want to talk about it.
