recently i listened to vuh, the 2nd side of in den gärten pharaos on the autobahn. it seemed like the most intense music ever recorded with the church organ drone and those crashing cymbals. scaruffi thinks that it is spiritual and apocalyptic. which probably makes sense but i had this impression of reaching a very high plateau and staying there. like having sex with an orgasm that lasts 15 minutes.

my vote as of june 2007 was for Hosianna Mantra
I love Faust IV more than most things, but... so many people who only own one Faust record own that one, it's total pop, half-page ads in Sassy magazine, the one on a major record label... I don't hate the term 'underrated' as much as I do the term 'overrated' but richard rorty rip

yes what of contingency (dom), irony (siloah), and solidarity (achim reichel) ?

Shock horror, somebody shows up to bitch because the choices aren't obscure enough! Nothing if not predictable.

yeah but doesn't that make sense if the poll is for "most underrated"? surely it should be some completely unknown thing that's actually half decent.

Nice to see La Dusseldorf getting some recognition, though Viva isn't exactly my favorite.

neither la dusseldorf album is my favorite. you know? if they could've somehow mashed them together it would've been one excellent album.
