No Love Deep Web - Death Grips Ok, this is now my favorite Death Grips record. The production is fantastic, much more of a raw appeal to it than The Money Store. If The Money Store was MC Ride contemplating suicide, No Love Deep Web is him actually committing it. This album is extremely intense. 9/10

Systems Officer_Underslept
Underslept is the debut album from Systems Officer, the solo effort of multi-instrumentalist Armistead Burwell Smith IV, but it is by no means his first record.
Clever, layered guitar chords are played with precision over soothing keyboard drips and drones while crisp, rhythmic beats form the backdrop for the hypnotic and meditative indie-rock. |

I just discovered this prog-album that impressed me, from Brazil: Bacamarte - Depois Do Fim (1983). It was recorded in '77 or '78, so it pretty much sounds like classic symphonic prog rock, with a few instrumentals, and some with female vocals (which is usually a negative for me in this genre, but in this case it's fine). The guitarist is crazy. Check it out if you're a prog rock fan!

I used to go see the Swirlies in Boston clubs in the mid and late 90s. They were awesome live and had a huge club following. The Swirlies opened for the legendary hip-hop group De La Soul at the spring music festival at University of Massachusetts the year I graduated. The Swirlies were part of Boston's so called "chimp rock" scene, spearheaded by three bands, Kudgel, Sebadoh & the Swirlies. Chimp rock rejected the deliberately cute aspects of the Twee sub-genre and developed a more chaotic, unkempt & experimental attitude. Part of the chimp ethos was the use of low fidelity recording techniques. In 2003, the Swirlies embarked upon a summer tour across the nation with the Washington D.C. based shoegaze band Lilys and were never heard from again in Boston. Nobody thought much of it, as so many almost-famous bands were disbanding after 3 or 4 albums back then. But the Swirlies never recorded another album after that Lilys tour... It's kind of spooky and sometimes I wonder what happened to them. My favorite song from They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons is the one embedded below. In Her Many New Found Freedom has noisy warped guitar parts, jarring changes in tempo and an amorphous structure. It's one of the strangest songs I've ever heard. |

Amputechture - The Mars Volta One of my favorite prog-rock records. It's a little misguided, but what prog album isn't?

I have to disagree with you about about Cats of the Wild Vol. 2 though. I love that album and much prefer it over Strictly East Coast Sneaky Flute Music. |

I'm a little disappointed that they broke up...especially under such apparently unfriendly circumstances. They really had something going and never quite got the recognition a lot of the other prog bands have gotten.

As for their albums, the one that sticks out in my mind the most is their 'Brokedick Car' EP. Soo great.
