i saw one of the very last Jerk With A Bomb shows, before they morphed into Black Mountain. it was good stuff; they opened for Destroyer, the 'This Night' lineup.

don't know other oneida albums. "secret wars" is good but a bit too indulgent for my tastes to make for habitual listening. "black mountatin" is completely fat-free, just a really good rock album. the first dead meadow album is too sludgy for me to get that into.

Also of note: the awesome drummer/keyboard player for Black Mountain plays keyboards for Pink Mountaintops.

yeah, I dunno, I knew nothing about this band before this thread, and then subsequently acquiring the record. In fact this thread is the only place I've ever had contact with anyone about this record, scout's honor! So I've honestly never heard Sabbath comparisons. And yeah, point being, I agree with you guys in that respect -- the record doesn't sound like them at all.

New album's pretty decent. Fewer immediate highs on first listen, but nothing that I just don't like at all. We'll see…

Cool to see this thread revived and to find out there's a new album and tour - I just threw this (2005 rekkid) on the turntable last night on a whim and really enjoyed it - glad I didn't get rid of it, cause a bunch of my friends really slag that release...

Friends who ROCK.
(Does Lightning Dust have new stuff out? And man, the new album is all watermarked and shit… Which means I have to be careful when I rip it to listen on my mp3 player).

Lightning Dust just has the one album that came out in the spring. And probably that'll be it for a while since BM has the ol' new album thing happening.
― Dr. Superman, Thursday, 27 September 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link
wow, what an influential place. they counted john cage, willem de kooning, and buckminster fuller among their faculty, spawned the black mountain poets, staged the first-ever "happenings" (in the THIRTIES)...
...wait, we are talking about black mountain college, right?

Sabbath meets… some '70s prog with a chick singer that I can't think of off the top of my head.
― I eat cannibals, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:42 (sixteen years ago) link
some of their tunes remind me of a more psychedelic version of songs by songs: ohia or electric magnolia co. which is weird, because i don't really like either of those groups. mostly on the songs with male/female harmonizing, like 'voices'
― 6335, Friday, 28 September 2007 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link
they were great on friday. their new stuff definitely has a sabbath vibe to some of it. 'druganaut' ruled, i wished they would have played the extended version and then extended that out to 15 minutes. cave mountain singers were pretty good, too
― 6335, Monday, 1 October 2007 06:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Pretty good last night. That chick is more a warbler live, and she looks lost when the rest of the band's rockin' without her.
Still, pretty fucking good. We did get the 15 minute Druganaut, and a pretty sweet version of Don't Run Our Hearts Around.
Live, the Cream Clapton tone of the guitar comes through a lot more, and there's more emphasis on the moog, which I like.

― W4LTER, Thursday, 13 December 2007 09:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Fantastic performance in Nottingham last Thursday in advance of their appearance at ATP; they really blew me away. They had no new product to push, save for a tour-only 12" containing two tracks that won't be on the new album (plus a voucher giving you a password for downloads of the same tracks). There's also a free download of "Tyrant" from the new album on their website.

just finally got the s/t record...great stuff...can't wait to get the new one.
first one is interesting mix of kinda VU style fuzzy pop tunes and ominous sabbath-goes-prog doomy epics...love it!

So they got some of their gear stolen while they were on tour and now a bunch of local bands here are holding a benefit gig for them. Gotta wonder why Black Mountain don't just play a benefit concert for themselves!

If they stood on milk crates playing kazoos Black Mountain would sell more tickets than these local bozos no-ones ever heard of.

Saw Black Mountain last night. They were really good live. The synths and keyboards sounded huge. Need to finally break down and check out some of their records.
