'velvet teen' - out of the fierce parade

The best album I have ever heard by a band.

[corpsey]

Sum 41

I never knew music could be this good

[oyaarss]

The Cure - Pornography
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions..
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works I
Radiohead - Kid A
Digital Mystikz - Anti-war Dub

All blew me away in a different way. Desert Island discs for sure.

music that spends all of its time falling apart, yet is still together in the end...for those who like their blues taken out back and beat delirious with a baseball bat

Ornette Coleman got me into free-jazz and just general avant-garde and improvisational music. That he's still making good music in his 70s is really awesome too.

Oh and got to give a shout out to Boredoms and all the related projects as as well. Super Ae, super roots 5 & 7, the track Seadrum, Hanatarash stuff, Omoide Hatoba etc. all fucking amazing weird music.

[näjt]

hmm, this is hard.

Coil - Musick to play in the dark vol 1 & 2
Current 93 - Thunder Perfect mind
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Massive Attack - Protection
Ulver - Perdition City
Ulver - kveldssanger
Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun
Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger
Shpongle - Are you Shpongled?
Tenhi - Väre


I think that's about it...

[joseph-j]

presently im listening to a cd by an african guy Salif Keita called M'benba

get 'Moffou'. fucking beauty.

[joseph-j]

i'd say mine were:

p.e. - black planet
godspeed - f#a# infinity

and some obscure compilation on sub rosa called 'folds and rhizomes' that sounded like someone cracking walnuts in a cupboard for an hour. i'm not joking either.

[unempty]

Some essential goodies:

Kraftwerk - Autobahn
Gavin Bryars - Sinking of the Titanic
Warp Records - Artificial Intelligence (@ the initial release)
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
Tom Waits - Bone Machine
Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
Meshuggah - None
Misfits - Walk Among Us

Shpongle - Are you Shpongled?

This one really opened my eyes for electronic music...truly a masterpiece!

[mumbler]

Not necessarily always albums that turned my head, sometimes just songs...

Roughly chronological, in order of appearance in my ears:
"Jam on it" - Newcleus
Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
Rite of Spring - Igor Stravinsky
Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle
Fear of a Black Planet - Public Enemy
Sailing the Seas of Cheese - Primus
"Lonely Woman" - Ornette Coleman
Kyema: Intermediate states - Eliane Radigue
Face of Collapse - Dazzlingkillmen
when in vanitas... - brise-glace
"8 steps to perfection" - Company Flow
"Clear Blue Skies" - Juggaknots
"A Day Like Any Other" - Siah and Yeshuah Dapo ED
Amber - Autechre
Jesus Dread - Yabby You comp

This is starting to ramble... anyway those were key ear-openers in my younger years (from elementary school to college)

K&D Sessions

This album seriously changed my life. Both discs were so different from each other, yet so complimentary. I used to get lost in this.

And I must say, I have to give Prodigy's Fat of the Land credit for opening my ears to a sound that blew me away, i think that came out when I was about 13 or something.
