Shred's Ninth: We enter, drunk with fire

Oh, that surprises me.

I did enjoy Idmen but I felt it dragged on a bit.  Neither of them are that close to my top 10 really, as I'm sure Aranis would fit in there ahead of both.

Do check out Ahvak.  That is an amazing album and features Dave Kerman!


And my life has been made easier, as Acoustic Ladyland are not in the 'chives.

Never got that Alamaailman Vasarat album. I'll have to get it in the new year along with a few other things i neglected to get.

Erm, that is their only album.

I guage it will be vastly different from the other's I've seen.   You all will probably be surprised.   I'm going to be (re?)listening to the following to see if they'll get a place:   Stendeck - Sonnambula Susumu Yokota - Mother Current 93 - Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain Super Minerals - Clusters Memory Tapes - Seek Magic (it's probably going in there, just not sure where) Whisp - The Shimmering Hour William Basinski - 92982   And others. It's probably going to have a good amount of electronica.   How's that Current 93? I've heard a few of their albums and really enjoyed them.  Has David Tibet still got his great compositional skill?

I have Aranis' first two but not the most recent.

I still think I need Rational Diet's last one too... I shall check.

Edit: no, I do have it

So far, I think all these will be in my top 10: Taipuva Loutisuora - IV

UZ and Present are often random and boring. UZ did make Heresie, which is awesome.

It's pretty much the darkest album ever. Some stuff by Lustmord is really close though. And not dark in a crappy, random, musique concrete, darkwave, goth or other crap way like that. Just growing, pusating terror. That's why all non Heresie albums by UZ I've heard just plain fail. They just play dissonant notes in jams, and while there's a permeating uneasy feeling because of the dissonance, it's just pointless. It's not enjoyable, and it's not terrifying, and it's not mood music. It's just notes.

I still think the darkest album I've heard so far is Shub-Niggurath's Les Morts Vonte Vite.  Tomorrow I need to finally listen to X.  I've been putting it off for some reason.  Maybe because I haven't had a 160m chunk of time to set aside yet.
