it seems to me that all of the energy being put into making a "1001" thread for every sub genre could actually be put into this and we could actually make a list of 1001....and it would be nice to have more than four or so consistent contributors

143. Comus - First Utterance (1971)

i have to say when i first joined this site i was amazed by how many people here knew of and loved this album....but none had come to it the way i did

liner notes in Current 93's Earth Covers Earth

wonderfully executed and creepy folk music right at the end of the hippies...every track on this album is amazing

this is one of those few albums that i think almost anybody could get into....it has excellent musical movements...involving everything from the flute to wonderful 12 string guitar

the feel of the album and the lyrics are nothing short of disturbing....with songs about the destruction of virtue, murder, and insanity...it still amazes me that this album first came out in 1971

so glad these creeps got back together in 2012

144. Boyd Rice and Friends - Music, Martinis, and Misanthropy (1990)

love him or hate him.....agree with him or protest him....Boyd Rice is and always has been a true force to be reckoned with

this being the first of many albums he put out while stepping away from his harsh industrial out put under the name NON

the friends referred to here are Douglas Pearce (Death In June), Bob Ferbrache (16 Horsepower, Blood Axis), Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus, Death In June), Rose McDowall (Current 93, Coil, Strawberry Switchblade), John Murphey (SPK, Death In June) and Michael Moynihan (Blood Axis, Sleep Chamber)....basically a who's who of Neofolk

this album opens with an Invocation....and then hurtles you into just exactly what this is all about.....an examination on pure misanthropic thought

"imagine what a wonderful place the world would be without...all...the...people."

for the most part this album goes back and forth from sample heavy tracks of ambiance and into folk based songs with Boyd basically giving his sermons of unadulterated hatred....along with a wonder cover of Lee Hazelwood

i suggest pouring a martini, stoking up a fire, and explore what is your inherent darker side

Cheers!
