and i fucking LOVE Supersilent (as i've also said many times on the board). Supersilent 4 is their most out, but also most rewarding album in my opinion. it's the most falling down the stairs mix of electronics and drums. 5 is a little bit more ambient. 1-3 (the 3cd set) is a lot more live (live instruments and less post-editing feel) and improv jazzy sounding. 6 is the one i've listened to the least. it's probably their most accesible. maybe i just wasn't in the mood when it finally came out?
i also think the trumpeter from Supersilent's (Arve Henriksen) solo album is really pretty. very ambient, just him and some beautiful spaces that give him great reverb. he gets some sounds out of a trumpet that you'd never expect. things like scraping the metal and dropping a ball in the bell.
i never really got into Tore Elgarøy's "The Sound Of The Sun"

Been playing Rune Grammofon a lot: have been getting a lot of joy* out of Phonophani, Alog and Deathprod.
Love the label design aesthetic, too.
*joy might not be the most apt of words.

The reissued Fra Lippo Lippi CDs from the 80s are great stuff.

I transcribed Fra Lippo Lippi's "Beauty And Madness" so my bf could play it at his cousin's wedding.
We all should give thanks to the Philippines for the existence of Rune Grammofon.

I always thought the original premise was correct - Money Will Ruin Everything is a great place to start. Got me into Alog and Susanna and The Magical Orchestra anyhoo.
― Treblekicker, Saturday, 15 November 2008 00:48 (4 years ago) Permalink
Surely, massive Fra Lippo Lippi sales in the Phillipines is definitely an important reason why they can afford the rest of the stuff ;)

They are so huge in the Philippines. Bigger than anything. And I love my Supersilent records. Maraming Salamat!

Geir's right, Fra Lippo Lippi were dope. Also I always thought Rune Grammofon was founded off the back of their sales, right?

I just got a 3CD set by Circulasione Totale Orchestra, which is a biggish band led by saxophonist Frode Gjerstad - blaring free jazz mixed with electronics, plus the guitarist from Noxagt.

Supersilent 6.
I like what I've heard of Supersilent 9, too, but I haven't spent enough time with it yet.
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 8 November 2009 22:27 (3 years ago) Permalink
Supersilent 9 is great if you like early Tangerine Dream a lot (which I do). None of them (and they're down to a trio btw; the drummer quit) are playing their usual instruments. Instead, they're all playing Hammond organs.

Holy balls, that Alog track on FatCat is pretty great!
It's totally got the Alog electronics-meets-clanky-homemade-instruments sound but with this whole African feel to it. Twelve minutes long and it just keeps travelling right on out there. Well worth hearing here:http://fat-cat.co.uk/fatcat/release.php?id=309

this is very good. manages to be continually involving over all 3CDs.
shining's 'grindstone' is easily my favourite RG album, not to mention one of my favourite albums of all time. incredible jazz/prog/metal/baroque lunacy.

Didn't particularly like the sound of the samples for this at Amazon (though these could be missing a lot of the detail/production which makes her other recordings so special).

oh, btw,shining's "grindstone" & "in the kingdom of kitsch..."definitely worth a shot.they devolved into a king crimson / meshuggah humourless prog-metal outfit after these two, but on these two we get digitally distorted melvinsisms, & maidenesque gallops which are interrupted by itchy/scratchy honking saxes & no wave fart funk rhythms, seesawing accordions, operatic bits, vocoder, theremin, swoony morricone-60's giallo-isms. it sounds like a recipe for a disaster ( which in my book = mr bungle ) however these are truly remarkable - through-composed albums - sublimely silly & ballsy.

re. Susanna live - I was struck by Deathprod's guitar playing ... or rather, his use of space/not playing. He knows when to be quiet.
