Albums You're Digging II

Various Artists - Rumble in the Jungle

In opening, I hate compilations. But for a genre like ragga jungle, it's sometimes where you need to turn to. But if this isn't one Hell of a compilation... A great blend of strong, iron-willed, adrenaline-pumping jams at high tempos, along with slower, more chant-focused ones that settle you down before the next intense slam. Tribal music for the ADD crowd. I love the Amen break to death.

Just the right amount of absolute insanity.

Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes
Waylon's music is something I've listened to and been a 'fan' of for a long time. Until recently though I didn't really explore his music that well. Breaking down and finally going in depth in Waylon's discography is one of the best things I've done for myself in a while music wise.

David Allan Coe - 17 Greatest Hits
Now, I think David Allan Coe has some fine tunes. I know he's got a number of albums and songs that bring him a lot of heat but I try to tune those out and enjoy him for whats good about him. Usually I am not a big fan of listening to greatest hits albums, but I feel that that's the only way to listen to DAC he's one of those musicians that had some great music but never released that one amazing album.

Billy Joe Shaver - Old Five and Dimers Like Me
BSJ is one heckuva'n overlooked musician by entirely too many people. He wrote some amazing songs and done a very good job at preforming them too. I've been really digging this type stuff lately so he's really getting a number of listens from me lately.

I'm also listening to a lot of Willie Nelsons Red Headed Stranger.

Vodoo Chile...All Along The WatchTower..Crosstown Traffic..Every song on it pretty much.

Godflesh - Streetcleaner

Think this has fully clicked with me. I've enjoyed it before, but I found myself mesmerized by it when listening on the train earlier. The guitars can be so harsh and brutal, and there's something really otherworldly about the album I think. Love the vocals as well - Christbait Rising in particular, that's my favourite song on this. There's an obvious Swans influence, which is only a positive thing in my opinion. I've always enjoyed Jesu most out of all Justin Broadrick's endeavours, but I think Godflesh may be about to claim that prestigious honour because this has floored me today.

I don't know how much Godflesh you've heard, but if Streetcleaner is it then you're in for a treat because most of their albums are even better than that!

Only heard Streetcleaner dude, definitely going to check out more now though! What would you recommend next?

TheFolkslave · 01-13-2011, 04:27 PM

I should also listen to some Godflesh since I haven't listened to it that much I'm more familiar with Jesu and I like his Jesu stuff. I would be glad if you could recommend me an album Janszoon.

bob. · 01-13-2011, 04:39 PM

i agree...but i also do enjoy most of their albums....and they are worth checking out

~~James~~ · 01-13-2011, 04:43 PM

Streetcleaner is my favourite. Heard one other album and I wasn't too impressed but maybe I should check out the rest.

I'd recommend checking out Songs of Love and Hate (featuring Brain from Primus on drums) or Hymns next. Both are great.

And if you feel like hearing a different, dancier side to Godflesh the Slavestate EP and Songs of Love and Hate in Dub are definitely worth your while.
