Welcome back!
Surprisingly more than half of the old links here are still active, and they are uniformly amazing. From the cheesy '80s videos, to Dirty Three's great 9-minute track "Everything Is Fucked", and from the thread's 1st reply, the moment when it becomes apparent what Warwick Capper's real job is. Thanks to all posters. (Note, links are visible in a logged-out browser)
You can post more music here that you like or love, especially if it's something unlikely to get its own thread or get famous overseas. And also, I wanna ask, "What's New?/New-ish?" (does that remind u of anything) ... The Australian musicians with ILM threads mostly tend to be Pitchforky bands, with the rare exceptions like Ngaiire - Blastoma (June 10 2016)
I'd be really interested to find out about Indigenous Australian musicians – the final album by Gurrumul Yunupingu, Djarimirri: Child of the Rainbow, was fantastic and was a nominee on ILM's 2018 poll, but many of us probably don't have much context for his music. Gurrumul died in 2017 aged 46.

Nice bump. My favourite Australian records of the decade are the Royal Headache albums, Twerps self titled and Alex Cameron's Forced Witness. I think the most influential Australian album of the decade (in terms of its impact on Australian music and the industry) was probably Flume's debut. Whether it was the main catalyst of not, I think around the time it was released was a turning point for young people in Australia caring more about electronic music and the culture associated with it over rock music.

A few weeks ago, I heard "Better in Blak" in a franchised newsstand at the Sydney airport. It's glorious (and quite jarring) as an American, where radio doesn't permit such risque language, to walk into the blandest of corporate outlets, only to hear Thelma emphatically state "FUCK THAT!", then have that phrase shouted by backup singers afterwards!
Their track "Clumsy Love" is great, too, especially the way it lifts off in the chorus (a la Kacey Musgraves' "High Horse").

Flume's debut. Whether it was the main catalyst or not, I think around the time it was released was a turning point for young people in Australia caring more about electronic music and the culture associated with it over rock music.
Judging by the music videos posted to this thread in 2010, Aussie rock bands did have a hell of a run at the top... Like, spanning the millennia and the epochs, there was every kind of rocker imaginable, including all-nude bands. Well, I'll give this electrical music a try and see if this guy's any good.

It does feel like it *could* have been systematically suppressed for 40 years. I mean, people with firsthand recollections of 70s radio seem to remember it (eg. my parents; I actually checked!) but I only became aware of its existence around 2008, via RYM of all places.
