Underrated/obscure Gems Part Ii

The long-awaited sequel
1 AMM
Before Driving to the Chapel we took coffee with Rick and Jennifer Reed


Better that AMMmusic probably (30 years after!)
2Morton Feldmen
Triadic Memories


Your first step in the long and twisting path to complete wankery
3MURAL
Live at the Rothko Chapel


Free Improv with some goddamn exquisite percussion.
4Sunshine Has Blown
Sunshine Has Blown


Free Improv. Up there with The Avalanches and Purplene as my favourite Australian
exports (other than VB!) (that was a joke)
5 Trondheim Jazzorkester/Kim Myhr/Jenny Hval
Ultima Festival Premier


If you've only heard Viscera get up on this with haste immediately. Folky/free-
jazzy/free-improvy
6 The Velvet Underground
Norman Dolph Acetate


My favourite Bootleg!
7 Sonic Youth
The Walls Have Ears


My Second-Favourite Bootleg!
8The Veils
Nux Vomica


They have a new album coming out so it would make sense to get acquainted with
them now. NZ REPRESENT. Also, i interviewed the frontman on the skype the other
day and he was delightful!
9Henryk Górecki
Symphony No. 3


My emotions have been annihilated it hurts so good. Seriously stunning stuff.
10 Agustín Barrios
The Completed Guitar Recordings


Folk/Classical Guitar virtuoso. Also the recordings of the tracks have a mad
Caretaker vibe. Haunting and beautiful.
11 Tim Hecker
Haunt Me Haunt Me Do it Again


My favourite Hecker. Utterly transportative. RIYL The Caretaker, Stars of the Lid,
other obvious Ambient pics.
12 Paul Dolden
The Threshold of Deafening Silence


The most 'difficult' album in existence. people who think mr. bungle are experimental
(and that's not a slight! but there's experimental and there's EXPERIMENTAL) will
not be prepared. Although in fairness no-one will.
13Dads [Tampa]
Invisible Blouse


ingenious Merchandise-related side-project 1
14 D. Vassalotti
Book of Ghosts


ingenious Merchandise-related side-project 2
15 Harvey Milk
Courtesy and Good-Will Towards Men


Sludgeeeeeeeeeeee mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
16 Dionne Warwick
Walk on By


Makes me feel all joyous and shit. Pop perfection
17The Guillemots
Through the Windowpane


Made-Up Love Song #43 is so poignant and acute and euphoric that it more or less
renders all other love songs obsolete.
18Early Day Miners
Let Us Garlands Bring


Slowcore with crescendos
19DJ Cam
Mad Blunted Jazz


Trip-Hop as a perfect companion to scotch and cigars
20 Lil Yo
Gangster's on a come-up


90's hip-hop par excellence. Bangin'.
