I thought Rock N' Roll Station was kind of like his "party" album but I played it when people were over and it was a big huge flop.

"Who Can I Turn To Stereo?" is a nice easy listen (and therefore maybe a bad entry point). I need more of his 80s stuff, that's for sure. "An Awkward Pause" has his most rocking track ever on it, the bouzouki one. I love it.

Supposed to be good. Haven't heard it yet. Cover is kinda ugly though which is unusual.
According to discogs: "There is no difference between the case of the special edition and the regular edition. The bonus track is not marked."

He is a better goat farmer than a musician, in my opinion. One true story - I used to live next door to a dominatrix and one of her tricks used to play Nurse With The Wound's music when she was whipping some guy, he used to ask her to make him come all over a kebab and then eat it

I heard from a very reliable source that there's actually no new material on there, he just slowed down the original (or something along those lines, the specifics there could be off, but the 'no new material' part was very clear).

back to the original question, I thought 'ace' for a long time, but now I'm wondering how much there was ever there. I'd love to hear his long-rumored disc featuring all female rappers, but not surprisingly, he seems hesitant to actually let the world hear that one.

two new releases on Bamdcamp in the last month

I've kind of lost track of Stapleton since An Awkward Pause, which was excellent. What are the most essential NWW albums post-2000?
― you've got no fans you've got no ground (anagram), Friday, 26 December 2014 16:46 (nine years ago) link
Huffin' Rag Blues and Surveillance Lounge for sure
Man With The Woman Face and the Shipwreck series are good too
Got a soft spot on my heart for Rat Tapes One but it's really an outtake collection
"May The Fleas Of 1000 Camels..." maybe a bit less great but still worthwhile
Space Music is pretty cool too

Like C93, I feel Stapleton pretty much ran out of ideas around the turn of the millennium. Nothing he's done since Salt Marie Celeste has impressed me much. Also, the omission of Thunder Perfect Mind from this list is wtf.
― heaven parker (anagram), Wednesday, 11 October 2017 15:17 (six years ago) link

Things you learn when you're really old (or whatever that thread was called): there is a Nurse With Wound album called Thunder Perfect Mind. I thought they were talking about the Current 93 album - now I've read that they both released albums with that title and both worked on each of them it makes sense.

new one "Trippin' Musik" is fantastic, haven't been this stoked about a NWW album since Huffin' Rag Blues. only on track 4 of 8 and it sounds fucking great, every track is different.
― howls of non-specificity (sleeve), Wednesday, 21 October 2020 00:59 (three years ago) link
complete liveblog, 2 hours 25 minutes total time on 2 CDs:
1 Sounding good so far, like a more wigged out Soliloquy For Lilith.
2 second track changes it up completely with a pretty, echoed, twinkly trip. I'm in love, idk if I've heard anything this pretty from him since Spiral Insana
3 third track immediately goes way out there into whispered echo madness stutter, fuck this is good. ...this turns into jackhammer insanity around 9 minutes in
4 4th track is mystic, gorgeous, immense, that wide open desert sound with slow big drums, slide guitar, and drones
5 5th track is a continuation of 4? I can hang w/that. real Organum vibes going on here
6 6th track is slow and subtle, unfolding gently
7 post-dinner return: 7th track starts out all shifting and slithering, disorienting. "heavy panning" as they say. this is actually the most minimal so far, not a lot of dynamics going on at first listen.
8 last (8th) track immediately starts out properly psych rock, gently jamming waves. this actually reminds me of the Boredoms side project Hanadensha and their later dreamy psych rock instrumentals.
none of these really have any sudden shifts of moood, and only one (the 7-minute track 2) is less than a full 18-20 minute LP side. but on first listen, this thing is (yet) another goddamn masterpiece from the dude.
not on Bandcamp yet, sadly.

Although this is credited to NWW on the bandcamp page, the artwork suggests it's an Andrew Liles solo project. No offence to Liles, but if there's no Stapleton involvement, I'm not interested.

now we're talking, this is fantastic:
Breaking news from a post by M. S. Waldron:
Well, the day has finally arrived. I've been excited about this for a very long time, but wanted to wait until the official release happened before I made any announcements. A new album from the remarkable Diana Rogerson has finally been released today on Bandcamp! There doesn't seem to be any news about this anywhere else online, so I'm assuming that hardly anyone knows about it. A shame she missed Bandcamp Friday by a single day! I love this album and have been greatly anticipating it's release. It's a very quiet & unassuming arrival of a fabulous new record from an incredibly unique artist, so I'm going to make a bit of noise about it and strongly encourage you to investigate & support this release!
'Blue Bottle In A Jam Jar' has been in the works for quite sometime, but I can only provide details from my own involvement. Diana asked me to do the cover art for the album back in mid-2019, and I assume initial recording was already underway at the time. She asked me to master the album back in April 2021, and I did some additional remixing and embellishment of four of the tracks in the following months. I thought those four remixes/revisions I'd made (tracks 3, 4, 6 and 8 ) would just be added as bonus tracks of some kind, but I guess they've supplanted the earlier versions entirely. I'm not aware of the particulars about how the tracks were recorded in Ireland before they were sent to me, so I'm afraid I can't provide more information about that. However she went about it, she's managed to put together yet another fabulous record that easily stands alongside her two classic Chrystal Belle Scrodd records from the 80s and 'The Lights Are On But No-One's Home' from 2007. I hope she doesn't wait quite so long to do the next one!

mine too. this is an act whose music is special to me, and some of that specialness is a feeling of intellectual kinship -- shared interests, a common groove that runs through visual art & sound & affect. no gods no heroes right? but, like...it's kind of like learning a beloved professor, somebody who walked you through poetry and took you to places you might never have found by yourself, harbors some really unpleasant reactionary position. I don't feel like "he buried this sentiment in some liner notes" rises to the level of "then don't buy this guy's music," you know, but...it knocks him off a pedestal, is all, and I liked my man up on his weird pedestal of illumination there, instead of in the sea of people who've made the world worse.
