Brad Stengel's Magical Musical Orgy of Sound

I think your answer for why everyone jumped on the Of Montreal bandwagon is pretty much because p4k hyped it nonstop ever since it came out. Oddly enough Hissing Fauna is the only Of Montreal album I don't bother to listen to I like Suffer For Fashion but then I just get bored with it. But yeah this album is probably my third favorite of Montreal album, its followed by Skeletal Lamping and the Gay Parade.

Nice review for the Pavement album but I still just about prefer Wowee Zowee. Nice thread.

You should check out Dome , the band put together by Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis while Wire were on hiatus. A lot like Wire but more electronic.

Also Colin Newman's solo albums from around the same time are well worth getting as well.

I will, I only ever got their first three, because band reunions frighten me. Is Wire/Wir's 80's output worthwhile?

I've only ever heard one album after they reformed and that was Manscape.

Loads of Wire fans hate it , I was just indifferent to it.

Would you prefer this to be a music journal instead Brad?

That could work, I'm planning on doing a similar thread for albums I bought in 2008 around Christmas, and I'll probably get to doing a list for 2007, 2005, and 2004, although they'll only be 10-15 albums in length since I didn't get as many albums for those years.

It's a good thread and deserves better coverage. Moved.

Thanks! I actually wrote a review for album #24 while you moved it, and it said it has to be approved. So that should be on its way momentarily.
