Ann Steel-Ann Steel

Ugly Casanova

Terry Manning - Home Sweet Home. only solo album by the guy who engineered "I'll Take You There", Zep III & Tres Hombres, released on a Stax subsidiary in 1970, & opens with a ludicrously awesome 10 minute "Savoy Truffle".

jesus

Did anyone else in that scene piss away their potent faster than that dude? Maybe Photek (tho I thought he kind of got things back together around Form and Function Pt 2)?

he makes good records again! see here:

Robert Haigh and Sema and Fote and Truth Club: C/D, S/D

I need to think about this some more and do some ctrl-f action.

Logg - Logg
Cheri Dennis - In And Out Of Love
Shareefa - Point of No Return

What about Rise by Louie & The Lovers? There was follow-up that was thought lost forever, but was eventually recovered and released, but only in a "Complete Recordings" collection, so one could argue they could be categorized as bonus tracks to the original set.

Kendra Smith - Five Ways Of Disappearing
Sleepers - Painless Nights
The Glove - Blue Sunshine
The Count Five - Psychotic Reaction
A Primary Industry - Ultramarine

this kind of record always fascinated me

oh and

The Underneath - Lunatic Dawn Of The Dismantler

The Monks - Black Monk Time

Majesticons - Beauty Party
Neon Neon - ST
MC Tunes/808 State - The North At Its Heights
Silver Bullet - Bring Down The Walls
World Domination Enterprises - Let's Play Domination
Thorr's Hammer - Dommedagsnatt
Rapeman - Two Nuns And A Pack Mule

sachiko kanenobu - misora

Lispector - Human Problems And How To Solve Them. Discogs lists ' Guide to personal happiness' for her as well, but it's a compilation album including tracks from 'Human Problems', so I don't think it counts.

I'd like to talk about this record more but I guess here isn't the place!

Lift To Experience - The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads

Baxendale - You Will Have Your Revenge

Daphne and Celeste - We Didn't Say That!

There are going to be a lot of one vote #1s in this poll, I think.

Jon Wayne - Texas Funeral

J-Rock - Streetwize (I think?)

Joost Visser- Partners in Hair. Where has this guy been hiding for the last 15 years?

Acen - 75 Minutes. It's not really a structured album as it just chucks together all his singles, including multiple remixes of several tracks, but much of the music on it is incredible.

Admiral Angry - Buster

Fingers Inc. - Another Side

Oh scratch that, I believe it's just a singles comp.

The Units - Ready for the house

YES IT IS.

I apologize for this thread as it will result in another waaaay-too-many-candidates poll

Joost Visser- Partners in Hair. Where has this guy been hiding for the last 15 years?

that there is a great record. feel like Joost made more records though.

Kendra Smith - Five Ways Of Disappearing
Sleepers - Painless Nights
The Glove - Blue Sunshine
The Count Five - Psychotic Reaction
A Primary Industry - Ultramarine

see now -

Kendra Smith - that's a solo album from a person in a band - really not the same thing. technically, sure, but it's not something where you say "this is pretty much all we got from this artist"
the Glove - that's a side project/supergroup deal isn't it?

don't know the others

Detroit w/Mitch Ryder - S/T (his post Detroit Wheels band)

D.C. Entries:
Metamatics - s/t
Antelope - s/t
Embrace (D.C.)
Pupils - s/t
Void- Split LP (would that count? They recorded a full length for Touch and Go that was never released)

but it will be soon.

Metamatics have like 29 albums

Oh dc hardcore nm please sb me

The Nils - S/T

I oughta reboot this thread with a "let's not nominate every album we can think of that fits the category" option so we can actually have the poll because 200+ option polls are like the dumbest thing ever

Kubichek - not enough night

Brise-Glase- When In Vanitas
Karuna Khyal- Anemone 1985
Brast Burn- Debon
Love Live Life +1- Love Will Make A Better You

Skip Spence was the first to come to mind when I saw this thread and "Oar" would easily get my vote.

Great list. I totally forgot about that Brise-Glace album.

The first thing I thought of was Germs.

How about The Millennium?

Sand - Golem
Modulo 1000 - Não Fale Com Paredes
Dinosaur L - 24-24 Music
International Submarine Band - Safe at Home

The Langley Schools Music Project - Innocence & Despair

Hm, Wikipedia says they recorded two albums and Innocence & Despair was a compilation of the two. So scratch that one.

re: the glove: blue sunshine - yeah, it's a side project, and hell siouxie even sings on half the tracks under a pseudonym

which is too bad cause otherwise i'd totally vote for it

Tony, Caro & John - All On The First Day

Snatch - Snatch (but I think is more of a comp of bits and pieces, so probably not)

Kubichek - not enough night

used to work with the guy this band were named after. is it really truly a great album? really?

I'm not sure Chris Bell qualifies - he released only a 45 during his lifetime, (a classic - I Am The Cosmos b/w You And Your Sister), but the album wasn't released until about 15 years after he died, and I'm not convinced this was ever intended to be released as an album any more so than, say, "My Sweetheart, the Drunk" and thus fails the posthumous odds-and-sods exception.

90% of those I thought of are already present and accounted for... here are some others that should be....

Armageddon s/t - ex-Yardbirds' vocalist's last record. Makes it kinda ironic that Keith Relf left the Yardies in large part because he wanted to persue softer, folkier music styles.

Roger Nichols & the Small Circle of Friends - s/t - In 1966, lyricist Tony Asher took a couple of breaks from his day job at an advertising agency to help write lyrics for two pop albums. One of those was Pet Sounds. This was the other.

One Dove - Morning Dove White - Has a cult following.

Five Thirty - Bed Doesn't have a cult following, but deserves one.

Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue - only completed solo album from the Beach Boys' drummer. Doesn't sound like a Beach Boys album. Still sounds good.

Mark Eric - A Midsummer's Day Dream - It was 1969, and power trios, serious R&B, the first pangs of metal, and Jimi Hendrix's guitar pyrotechnics were changing the face of music, and 16-year-old Mark Eric was ignoring all of the above, instead preferring the softer, sunnier pop of a few years earlier. It evokes Spanky & Our Gang, the Mamas & Papas, anything produced by Curt Boettcher, and of course the Beach Boys, although more Dennis than Brian, not only because his soulful voice recalls the middle Wilson brother, but also because like Dennis, Mark Eric was also a real surfer, and his songs capture those emotions in a way that even Brian's accounts of the sport picked up secondhand from Dennis don't quite capture. Listen to the track below and you can just feel the loneliness of a guy in his wet suit looking for stray waves on a dreary September day, surveying a bleak scene where those vaunted California Girls have disappeared with the cool, drifty weather, and only a few diehard surfers stay to brave the bleak, empty beaches. I love the way the lyrics become more personal as the song goes on. Great, great stuff, but it was not for its time, and it didn't sell. Mark Eric never made another record.

aah, "Air Conditioned Nightmare" was a non-album single not on Bed , but you get the idea.
