Do you use soulseek? I found Mike Gordon there. I can up it on mediafire, or you can download it from me on soulseek.

Actually, naw, it's ok, I found it for download.

The album for the next week is Pierre Schaeffer—L'oeuvre Musicale

Pierre Schaeffer—L'oeuvre Musicale
For those unfamiliar with this guy, here's a brief description from Wikipedia:

Quote:

Amongst the vast range of works and projects he undertook, Schaeffer is most widely and currently recognized for his accomplishments in electronic and experimental music, at the core of which stands his role as the chief developer of a unique and early form of avant-garde music known as musique concrète. The genre emerged out of Europe from the utilization of new music technology developed in the post-Nazi Germany era, following the advance of electroacoustic and acousmatic music.

...

Today, Schaeffer is considered one of the most influential experimental, electroacoustic and subsequently electronic musicians, having been the first composer to utilize a number of contemporary recording and sampling techniques that are now used worldwide by nearly all record production companies. His collaborative endeavors are considered milestones in the histories of electronic and experimental music.

The album I've nominated here is actually a four disc box set and that's probably too much to tackle. So I'm suggesting we just focus on the first disc which, I believe, compiles some of his earliest work.

So, after all this modern classical/avant-garde stuff, I thought of recommending something on the 'popular' side of things.

Minimal Man - The Shroud Of (1981)

Visual and performance artist at core, Patrick Miller aka Minimal Man, is one of the more interesting musicians of the very exciting late 70s post-punk/avant-garde/electronic San Francisco scene, art punk or industrial punk if you prefer it. This is his first album which I very much recommend for its relentless haunting power.

EDIT: The new poll is open!

Let me know if anyone needs a link for L'oeuvre Musicale.

Yea, I voted for the Minimal Man album for obvious reasons. I've only heard a few songs by him, but from the little I have heard I have to say I am impressed.

By the way, have you listened to the the album, The Bridge (1979), by Thomas Leer and Robert Rental?

Can I implore us to vote some of the older ones? We keep voting the ones suggested the week of. Need to keep some life, freshness, and variety on this list. If we keep voting this way, we're going to end up having 4 or 5 that are constantly on the list.

I've been voting Crispin for a few weeks straight.
