Plaid

Jason, you kinda put the cart before the horse going right for Spokes. Being their latest album, as well as Trainer their first album, they seem to be the hardest to swallow. If you are an Orb fan I friggin' gar' on' teee (as that cajun cook used to say) you'll enjoy Restproof Clockwork. My personal favorite album is "Double Figure," so favorite, that indeed I gave the vinyl version as a wedding gift this winter and almost went and bought him some "as seen on tv" gift instead so I could have it. I guess the best presents are the ones you want back. And Alan E., I know you are the token 'sevant' listee, but don't go recommending P-TV on here or I'm gonna hafta land on you feet first... you soda-pop, cracka' ass, kentucky hick. p.s. Oh, and jason.. if you can get Black Dog or Plaid's peel sessions you'll have a good idea of what they can do. The rare calypso or island song they do are ab fab. Someone should give me the ftp addy so I can upload those old Black Dog discs I shelled out for as well. Very orbish. >"Spokes" is currently in heavy rotation in my stereo, >along with The Mars Volta and Godspeed You! Black >Emperor's "Yanqui X. O." >IMHO, some really amazing stuff here. Picked up US B&T >last week too, much better than the Japaneese version. >Hope all of you are doing well, my computer's still >down from the move. >I'm sorry, but I just listened to Spokes and thought it to be total shit. I >guess I'm not into "that sound" or something. >Are all Plaid albums similar?

Yeah, what bbroo said. I'd like to recommend two albums: Psychic TV "Towards Thee Infinite Beat." I really didn't like the remix album "Beyond Thee Infinite Beat" very much. It had no songs I liked more than the original or even close to as much as. Porcupine Tree is a "prog" band I remember liking a lot. The song "When Stars Die" is super sweet. Terminal Power Company was on the same label and had a similar modern prog feel. The band Perfume Tree had a great album out on a now defunct label called World Domination. Ozrics Tentacles? I've got a killer bootleg set by those guys from Boulder that is just amazing. I want to eat a fist full of 'shrooms and jam with those guys. Man? Or Astroman? is as prog as surf music can get. I'd also like to recommend the Cars albums, especially Panoram. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ And if you don't dance you're no friend of mine... --"The Safety Dance"

>Would Hiroshima be prog rock? > No they would be crap. I sent an e-mail to the list about prog with a bunch of obsure-o Italian bands that a knowledgable fellow recommended, but unfortunatley it was over the damned 3KB limit so the info is lost into the cracks of the internet. Which is too bad because he said that Italian bands are considered the cream of the prog crop. Personally I can't stand the stuff, but me and my friend were listening to a CD of his called The Flow, that was pretty good, kind of heavy a little on the psyc side. He also mentioned some bands called Bump and Atomic Rooster that I had never heard of. Isn't early Hawkwind considered prog, dunno because I hate them, once had a boss who's favorite band was Hawkwind, but I don't think he really even liked them he just wanted to be able to say he had a favorite band, I mean he did own a record store and all. Some of Peter Green's from Fleetwood mac solo work is pretty trippy, I like The End of the Game, good stuff. Finally The Scorpions first album (yes the frickin' Scorpions) Lonesome Crow is definitely worth checking out, nothing like their later glam dreck, I dunno if it's prog but it's one of the most underated rock albums of all time. Wow, it takes a real music geek to discuss music you don't even like, top that!

1. Apple tree in my backyard - THE ORB This song has a major sample from This Mortal Coil. It starts at 0:40. It's really a remix of their song, IMO. -- - - - - - - - - Chris in NYC - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - my art www.geocities.com/gassygalaxy my photos www.pbase.com/nycnoise

You seem to have most of these already: 1) 60's/70's music (UK): It will take some work, but I'd "search" out solo work, bands and ALL COLABORATORS of: Fripp (Bruford,Anderson, etc), Eno (very early Roxy Music is fun, Budd, Ultravox, etc), Wyatt (Ayers,Allen, etc- soft machine, matching mole - {jazz?}), Sylvian, Gabriel, etc, It's good to find the roots too much of the electronic music we listen to today. Many of them seem to be from the Canterbury area of UK, so it must be something in the water there. Also check out early kraftwork, caberet voltaire, numan, can, faust, neu, throbbing gristle, etc.....and for more recent stuff from some of these guys, alot of them seem to appear on virgin records compilations - Ambient soundscape's - 4 cds total I think - that's just my opinion. 2) Smileys alright 3) Hells' kitchen's alright 4) www.theorb.com: cannot wait until the CDR's of classic demos and live concerts go on sale? 5) I hope that all you american residents are registered to vote? www.visualimpactflowers.com/darko.htm cheers bbroo _________________________________________________________________ Discover the best of the best at MSN Luxury Living. http://lexus.msn.com/

Plaid

Check out the Plaid track featuring Bjork called "Lilith" off of the album "Not for Threes", great track, good album. I'll second the praise for "Spokes" and "Double Figure", both quality. Personally I think their remixes are brilliant and I love the double CD "Parts in the Post" that is a collection of their remix work.

Would Hiroshima be prog rock? When I was at school at Arizona State the music library had a huge record sale. All records were something like $0.50. I got some classical stuff and then just went through their bins and picked up anything with a cool looking cover because there were no listening stations. All of their jazz, and I mean all of it, had been pilfered by the time I showed up! D'oh!! Anywho...I have a ton of really shitty records as a result of that sale. The mentioning of Hawkwind reminded me of this because I think I got one or two of their records there. I know I have at least three Hiroshima records. LOL! I can't sit through 90% of what I bought that day....maybe I should give some of those records another chance. -matt _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search.
