please note the track listing

Gum - Vinyl (Vinyl, LP) at Discogs



That was the original release but in all likelyhood people will end up downloading the full Anthology should this win but my suggestion is for the tracks on the original release only

Gum : Vinyl Anthology
"Gum's music consisted entirely of locked grooves, vinyl surface noise derived from the duo's destruction of thrift store acquisitions. You could say that Gum were early "turntablists" before there was a scene or a school for such a thing, before the instrumentalists' concern for technique spoiled it, before the community of practice turned it into "an artform". They presaged serious turntablists and noisicians like Philip Jeck, Otomo Yoshihde, Martin Tretault, Merzbow, Janek Schaefer. At their best, Gum rendered absolute minimal abstractions into foreground role, musically, playing off the residual, vestigial remains of sounds that threaten contextualization but routinely fail to deliver. Exquisite sound poems like "Smooth Torture in Exile" hold all of the manufactured memory that old vinyl carries, mangled just enough so the sounds don't divulge their sources and muddy the waters with 'reference'. The sounds come to represent only themselves and, as this collection demonstrates, these stand up to time. The results of decomposition, trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear."

Might as well suggest this album:

Psychic Existentialist (2010) by Scissor Shock

http://s.dsimg.com/image/R-150-2449033-1284650063.jpeg

I can't say too much about this strange album except it is extremely complicated and unpredictable. Elements of jazz, psychedelia, Shoegaze, glitch, noise, musique concrete, Spanish guitar, ambient, and folk quickly appear in and out of the tracks within this album. Anyways, I won't pretend to know too much about this album because the whole reason I am posting it is because I want to understand more about it. That's it...

^Wow, with that much eclecticism that's either awful or awesome.

Exactly why I posted it. I wanted to see what you guys thought of it (that is if it gets elected).

Just so everyone knows, I have no link to the Gum record. I have the original Vinyl pressing limited edition of 500 that I bought when it came out. There is a CD version out there called Anthology that includes this entire record though.

Yeah, I already sent them the Anthology. It wasn't hard to find.

I hope everyone focuses on the music from the first album like I suggested.
