Have posted my record collection for anyone interested in what I’m into these days (much speculation there…pfffft!!) over on recordnerd.
http://www.recordnerd.com/lists/Peligro99/
Any suggestions or recommendations you may have regarding albums you think I may enjoy would be welcomed. Also welcomed are any questions anyone may have regarding specific items on the list (where to get them, what they sound like etc).
enjoy da noise…
Personally, I use Rate Your Music, but I’ll check your thing out.
Checked it out.
Some excellent choices there…Nurse With Wound, Animal Collective, Bastard Noise, Whitehouse, Boredoms…cool.
This is similar to my collection…I got around 500 - 550 cds. I wonder if anyone here can beat that? Yikes!
Based in this list, there a lot of albums I would recommend to you:
Ministry - The Dark Side of the Spoon, Animositisomina, Psalm 69, Side Trax (these are all solid Ministry records)
Wolf Eyes - Burned Mind, s/t, Slicer (self-titled is goofy and fun times, stands out as very bizarre and almost comical compared to the rest of the Wolf Eyes catalogue…Burned Mind is clearly essential…and Slicer is a nice minimalist change of pace for Wolf Eyes)
Skinny Puppy - Last Rights, Rabies, Vivisect VI, Too Dark Park, Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, Bites, The Process…(everything, really, you can’t go wrong. except for Greater Wrong of the Right which seems to be the only one you own.)
Merzbow - Tauromachine, Venereology, Merzbuddah, Merzbuta (some of my fav Merz outings)
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (essential, period)
Godflesh - In All Languages (a best of)
Fantomas - The Director’s Cut, Suspended Animation (awesome albums. Director’s Cut will be instantly enjoyabe. Suspended Animation will challenge you to no end.)
Einsturzende Nuebauten - Tabula Rasa (showcases Einsturzende’s newfound more grandiose orchestral approach, but the track Headcleaner is more hardcore than any of their old material)
Coil - Horse Rotovator, Unnatural History II (has some great soundtrack stuff including Hellraiser Theme)
download - Charlie’s Family (download doing creepy Halloween music. really campy and cool)
Big Black - Rich Man’s 8-Track Tape (a must)
Tool - Aenima
Others that weren’t on your list at all:
The Locust - Safety First Body Second EP (Ipecac) (you know who they are. they finally found a way to organize their sound into something that isn’t irritating after a few songs)
Dead Machines - Futures (freeform noise from Olson of Wolf Eyes and his clearly psychotic wife)
Pink Anvil - Halloween Party (Ipecac) (just buy it.)
Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Raise Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, Yanqui U.X.O (orchestral post rock)
Isis - Oceanic (Ipecac) (post rock/stoner metal)
Pelican - March Into the Sea (Ipecac) w/JK Broadrick remix (epic post rock)
Mum - Finally We Are No One (Bjork-ish glitchy)
Hair Police - Constantly Terrified (think Wolf Eyes meets Sun o))) … you will cum)
Black Eyes - Cough (avante jazz-punk)
What no Killing Joke’s ‘Extremities, Dirt And Various Repressed Emotions’ nor ‘What’s THIS For…!’? Do you a favour, get them!
I have something like 1200 CDs and a bunch of vinyls at home, but I’m sure soem have more…
Interesting, judging by your comments on the board I expected you to have many more noise and experimental albums.
Anyway, I guess I’d recommend stuff like Skinflower, NON Chrome and Death In June to you.
EDIT: well, since we’re bragging, I must have over 2000 albums by now, which is why I will probably never get around to actually listing them anywhere. Too much effort…
You need Boards of Canada’s “Music Has the Right to Children.”
Also, you have “Greater Wrong of the Right” but no other Skinny Puppy? I’ve got a feeling you’d love “Last Rights”.
If you like the Melvins and the jesus lizard you would proabably like the Cows and the Heroin Sheiks.

I have something like 850 on mine, but that isn’t really much an accomplishment compared to some people.
Based in this list, there a lot of albums I would recommend to you:
Ministry - The Dark Side of the Spoon, Animositisomina, Psalm 69, Side Trax (these are all solid Ministry records)
Most of these albums I have owned at one time and have either sold or I have pirate copies of. Do you honestly believe I would have never heard Psalm 69??? Buddy, I was in the store waiting the day it came out.
Wolf Eyes - Burned Mind, s/t, Slicer (self-titled is goofy and fun times, stands out as very bizarre and almost comical compared to the rest of the Wolf Eyes catalogue…Burned Mind is clearly essential…and Slicer is a nice minimalist change of pace for Wolf Eyes)
ditto for these two…
I’m pretty much over Wolf Eyes. Check out Caroliner Rainbow instead. They were doing freaky noise shit ten yerars before Wolf Eyes. And they’re ten times better. In my opinion anyway…
Skinny Puppy - Last Rights, Rabies, Vivisect VI, Too Dark Park, Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, Bites, The Process…
Once again, at various points in time I have owned all of these albums…and SOLD them.
Godflesh - In All Languages (a best of)
ditto.
Fantomas - The Director’s Cut, Suspended Animation (awesome albums. Director’s Cut will be instantly enjoyabe. Suspended Animation will challenge you to no end.)
No thanks. I have both these albums on my iRiver. Boring. And I’d rather listen to Naked City anyday than a heavy metal approximation of the real thing.
Einsturzende Nuebauten - Tabula Rasa (showcases Einsturzende’s newfound more grandiose orchestral approach, but the track Headcleaner is more hardcore than any of their old material)
ditto iRiver…
Big Black - Rich Man’s 8-Track Tape (a must)
sold.
Tool - Aenima
never liked it.
but cheers anyway.
I have heaps more shit that I have either downloaded or burnt of friends, but I haven’t included this…
props for screamadelica!
Interesting, judging by your comments on the board I expected you to have many more noise and experimental albums.
I don’t think the list was finished when you would have seen it. It’s pretty much done now.
And no, I don’t really buy many noise albums. Actually I don’t buy many albums period. Although I have enough. I’d say almost half of my collection is loosely described as ‘avant garde’ (although personally I hate that term). Noise gets boring after a while. Been listening to that shit for well over ten years and to be honest, alot of the up and coming shit (like the Load Records, Ipecac and Hydrahead labels output for instance), just doesn’t cut the mustard.
I’m more into Eno and John Cale stuff. Listen to heaps of creepy old soundtracks and ambient shit! I’m also going through a massive John Zorn period too.
Anyway, I guess I’d recommend stuff like Skinflower, NON Chrome and Death In June to you.
Chrome has been added to the list. Phew!! And not a moment too soon. They fucking rule.
Boyd Rice is a wanker and collects Barbie dolls. Fuck that guy.
EDIT: well, since we’re bragging, I must have over 2000 albums by now, which is why I will probably never get around to actually listing them anywhere. Too much effort…
That is fucking insane. Why don’t you put it up on the net? You seem to know yr sauce. Let it hang wild and free. 2000 cds?? Cripes! But how much of it is flea market, bargain bin crap?? Aha! That’s the catch. I hardly ever buy el cheapo. If I did I’d have twice as much - plus I always sell parts of my collection. I nearly always buy top dollar IMPORT. Which sucks but there ya go.
Some albums I’m gonna hunt down soon:
Final - 3
Techno Animal - Re-entry
Whitehouse - Dedicated to Peter Kurten
Morrissey - Ringleader of The Tormentors
Brainticket - Cottonwood Hill
Isis - Remixes
Scorn - Zander, Elipsis
John Zorn - The CircleMaker, Moonchild, Magick, Filmworks XV, Filmworks XVI, Invitation To A Suicide, Spillane, Dumas
Yeah a lot of them I got real cheap and very many came to me due to my job as a music reviewer… That is always a nice source of CDs, sadly a lot of them are real crap.
re-entry is a must, final’s 3 is great as well
the isis remixes are pretty damn good too

enjoy da noise…
Yeah, I’d have most of what appears on your list. Freaky!! I thought I was the only one who liked shit like that? At least, I’m the only person in this fleabitten backwater town (Auckland NZ) with musical taste.
Personally, I have more or less what you have, however I have a lot more of things like Bowie and Coil than you. I also have a substantial English post punk / new wave collection - Siouxsie And The Banshees, PIL, Wire, 23 Skidoo, Magazine and especially The Cure.
For the record (no pun intended) I’d have about 550+ cds. Which is decent.
I’ve got around 730
I saw that you had Prick and Collousus of Desitiny by the melvins in your record collection. I own majority of the melvins discography except those two. I’ve read mixed reviews about both those album(some say they are joke albums) and its made me kind of hessitant to get those two. Would you recommend them?
I saw that you had Prick and Collousus of Desitiny by the melvins in your record collection…Would you recommend them?
I wouldn’t recommend anything to anyone unless I knew them or knew more about their musical tastes.
In terms of, would I recommend them to a fellow Melvins fan…well, yes and no. They are not indicitive of the classic Melvins ‘sound’. But they each have their strengths. I would recommend Colossus to fans of proto industrial noise…SPK, Gristle, Test Dept etc. It is basically one long ambient noise/sound collage…feedback, samples, guitar noodling. I dunno…is that yr kind of thing?
If so, go for it.
Prick consists solely of studio out-takes, instumentals and spoken word. The first track ‘How About’ is outstanding - basically samples of a some guy preaching the gospel of Jesus and some country bumpkin recalling the time when Elvis stayed in his hotel, with some bird noises and chanting thrown in for good effect. It is one of my favourite ‘noise’ pieces of all time. The rest of the album is a bit silly. Was made as a joke? I really couldn’t say. However I don’t recall ever hearing anyone laughing after hearing it, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Regarding the Melvins - I really liked Bullhead and Hostile Ambient Takeover.
Some of their stuff is a bit too much to handle. I hear they’re putting out an album soon??
All done! Everything’s up there now.
Phew! That took longer than expected.
