I have to say your past praise of The Egg is the reason I've revisited the two I do have, and that I'm planning to listen to the others.

there are also 5 EP's filled with remixes from that album. i don't normally care for remixes, but most of them are quite good.

let me know if you need help finding them :)

These are the albums I bought recently
 
I recently found a compilation of songs which appears to be really interesting; it is called Man & A Machine II, (it exists also Man & A Machine I) and you can find a number of songs of the punk, alternative and indie culture of the past. Artists like Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire, PIL, Laurie Anderson, Yello, Talking Heads and more. Tell me what you think...

You could listen to Hifiklub, a french group that released last month their second album 'How to make friends', I find it amazing! It's rock, electro, pop and you can dance like crazy listening to their music. Check this out:

Have you ever heard of James Chance? He was one of the creators of the New York no wave scene, has collaborated with many artists like Lydia Lunch and Brian Eno; his new album entitled The Fix Is In is now out in a label called Le Son du Maquis which released some months ago the last record of A Certain Ratio. This album is a tribute to jazz and r'n'b so I think you should listen to it if you want to discover jazz music.

Any good? What i've heard seems promising...

Violent & Funky 04-22-2010 03:22 PM

Where do I go next as far as Sonic Youth albums? I really like Daydream Nation and Dirty, but Goo not so much...

I'll be keeping an eye on the answers to this question :D

Piss Me Off 04-22-2010 03:26 PM

Sister would be a logical choice for me as it's the next best!

Violent & Funky 04-22-2010 03:27 PM

Alrighty then:

So many to choose from!

I prefer Goo to Daydream Nation. Dirty is the best starting point since it's one of their most accessible...but how can you not like Goo if you like the other 2? They like...go together.

Anyways, it's hard to say where to go next since you have pretty much proven one man's gold can be another's trash. With Sonic Youth's music, you really just gotta listen to each album and see if you like it. Other people's opinions really have no bearing with these guys.

I got that album last yearn and have given it a few really good listens. It was one of the better metal albums of 2009.

I've always enjoyed James Murphy's work ever since I heard "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" on my SSX on Tour soundtrack. Murphy continues his tradition of serious nonchalance on tracks like "Pow Pow" and "You Wanted a Hit", and while This Is Happening isn't quite as good as Sound of Silver, it's still a thoroughly enjoyable album.

How is this? Highly Refined Pirates is my favorite personally, and it's great. But I feel each album that comes out is duller than the last. So I don't have high expectations here.

A House - I Am The Greatest
A really cool late 80's/early 90's indie band. I'm loving this album so far.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#∞
A lot of post-rock fails to grab/hold my attention but this is pretty awesome. Some great late-night listening.

Well I liked it, but I loved Planet Of Ice, and if you found that dull you may not enjoy this one. It is a new direction, slightly I mean the first track starts off with synthesizers, and then it kind of goes half and half with Planet of Ice like songs and new sounding more electro based stuff.

sidewinder 04-22-2010 07:44 PM

Interesting...I'll just have to hear it for myself some day.

Muse 04-23-2010 06:13 AM

Last week I bought Piamime's album "Music and feelings"...it's piano music. Mostly I listen to rock, but I was fascinated by this sensual pleasant instrumental music...sometimes modern agressive music makes me sick and I want something more warm and sincere...

Early 90s noise rock.
Looking forward to hearing their cover of Kraftwerk's Showroom Dummies

not very good music, but massively entertaining nonetheless.

Sonic Youth - Goo

Really don't know where to go next with this band :( I listened to EVOL and didn't find it particularly good on the first listen. May go for Washing Machine next.

Urban Hat€monger ? 04-23-2010 12:33 PM

I'd say go with Experimental Jet Set & Murray Street next.

Because they are good albums but not as good as the first 3 I've already got? Or because they are just as good? Or are they not as good, but the most logical ones to go for next? :D

Thanks for the tip, been dipping my toe into Sonic Youth for a while now. Goo recently clicked with me, and Daydream Nation ain't half bad either. But it needs more time with me for me to really like it.

Urban Hat€monger ? 04-23-2010 12:38 PM

They're probably the closest sounding to the ones you just listed. They're not as good but they have their moments and I'd rather listen to those than some of their other albums.

I'll be sure to give them both a listen, cheers.
Bad Moon Rising, is that not a good one to go for? I had my eye on that and Washing Machine

Urban Hat€monger ? 04-23-2010 12:43 PM

Apart from Death Valley 69 I find Bad Moon Rising to be slow, boring & torturous.
If you didn't like EVOL you'll hate this even more.

Washing Machine is OK but I wouldn't rate it higher than the two I picked.

Ah thanks for the heads up I'll listen to them after finishing listening to Goo. :thumb:

This sparse but bass heavy Dubstep album sounds so much better than the MP3 album. Probably my favourite dubstep release.

Getting some Fall albums. Imperial is so damn good.

There is no such thing as having too many Hawkwind albums.

jackhammer 04-23-2010 01:19 PM

I am not a big Dylan fan at all and although it's a cliched choice, I have always liked this album. So another purchase to the collection.

Never heard this, so I thought meh why not?

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

Heard this a few times, first 2 or 3 times I never saw the big deal with it. I'm closing in on 7 times and now I'm actually starting to enjoy it, so I thought I'd acquire it. :D
