Pretty much all the Superior Viaduct reissues, particularly Alice Coltrane, Crime, Peter Jefferies, Flesheaters and Mirror/Stalker
that peter jefferies album is a fantastic NZ underground classic with with a strong eno and cale vibe. this song is all-time imo, and you might know this one from the cat power cover version
― Ottbot jr (NickB), Saturday, 20 December 2014 23:40 (nine years ago) link
at least 60% of these are reissues btw afaict
pretty rich of them to be listing bootlegs that they were essentially the only vendor for

Can someone give me their favorite album from this list for me to check out that isn't Hammock or Grouper (both favorites)?
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Sunday, 21 December 2014 02:23 (nine years ago) link
My fave on that list is the girma yifrashewa
― Mordy, Sunday, 21 December 2014 02:30 (nine years ago) link
I went through the entire Textura list (or as much of it was on Spotify). My favorites, roughly in order:
Ian William Craig: A Turn of BreathVicky Chow: Tristan Perich, Surface ImageDeath Blues: Ensemble36: Dream TempestMarvin Ayers: Ultradian Rhythms
That said, my tastes run more toward ambient/electronic. There are a lot of modern composers on here who had some good stuff--pieces I'd like to see in a theater setting but not anything I'd listen to on my home stereo.

maybe i have just downloaded too many albums recently but the prospect of downloading an album with such an anonymous title by someone with the most anonymous anglo name has not been enough, in and of itself
maybe am i just downloading albums in order to have an interesting looking set of directories rather than because of their intrinsic merits
― Chairman Feinstein (nakhchivan), Sunday, 21 December 2014 02:38 (nine years ago) link
The Ian William Craig album has shown up on a few lists besides Textura. Most notably I think it rated highly on Ben Ratliff's list for the New York Times (if memory serves. It's all voice and tape loops, or at least I think that's it. I've only listened a few times but of all the new-to-me albums I've held onto for further investigation due to these lists, this one is probably highest on my list.

ahhh...
I am allergic to ordinariness and I can’t understand people who don’t let art and music affect them to the point that their very existence is permanently re-formatted. Otherwise what’s the point? But I find I don’t have much in common with many music writers or authors in general. I like to look good, I like to keep in good shape, I like to fight, I box every week, I’ve been boxing for years, I like to look after myself, I love beautiful women and stylish men, I like good food and good beer, I like fine things, I like to smell good. I find that people involved in underground or alternative culture – on the whole - are simply buying into yet another orthodoxy or way of being where there are certain standards and rules of behaviour and political suppositions and interests and looks, even. I am not into that at all and can’t relate to it. That is why I am most attracted to unique people, to one-offs, to extraordinary lives. That’s what I most want to capture in my profiles, the personality of the artists, the way they live their lives as a total artwork, voracious artists like Peter Brotzmann and Derek Bailey. But I also find extraordinary people in all walks of life, which is why I also like to move in fighting circles and drinking circles and fashion circles and wilderness circles and magickal circles and astronomy circles. Anything that isn’t ordinary and that might attract extraordinary people. Otherwise I need to get the hell away from it.

otm. bullshit machismo mixed with the self-regarding swagger of someone who really knows their way round the cheese counter at sainsbury's
― Ottbot jr (NickB), Sunday, 21 December 2014 22:06 (nine years ago) link
anyhow... best discovery for me so far off the boomkat lists is the arne deforce & mika vainio album 'hephaestus', deforce being a cellist with a background in feldman and xenakis etc. there are a couple of broiling noise workouts, but also some subtler stuff they explore more brooding atmospheres and the whole thing has the most horrible toxic sheen to it, it's just great stuff
biggest disappointment is EVOL's 'Rave Synthesis Approximations of György Ligeti's Continuum, Part III', whose title promises much but... can anyone listen to more than three minutes of this?
― Ottbot jr (NickB), Sunday, 21 December 2014 22:47 (nine years ago) link
