Done a quick tot up there and I count 176 I've heard, out of... excuse while I check... 291. There is a lot of pretty terrible stuff on there, especially among the German bands.

sure, but a lot of those records (e.g. Kollektiv Rote Ruben) just had one track or even one moment that was really on the NWW radar, they didn't care abt the rest
former NWW member John Fothergill has some notes on that Strain Crack Break set I mentioned upthread:
Not a bad selection, although Steve had never heard that Pierre Henry "Malefices" track to my knowledge, and Pierre Henry was added to the list when we played him an "Orphee" extract and he was amazed how NWW it sounded. Also, Besombes was a last minute addition due to Steve just getting his "Ceci Est Celà" album. And, what's Dashiell Hedayat doing on this? He's not on the NWW list!
(note: the liner notes argue that the Hedayet album is in effect a Gong album, fair enough imo)

Yes, that makes sense, even terrible albums can have the occasional good track or moment!

As ever, it seems on these occasions, frustratingly short!

the Roger Doyle album ('Thalia') is almost a manual for a lot of NWW stuff! Keen to hear Operating Theatre (Doyle again) next.

He's released a lot of albums. Roger Doyle, that is.

too jammy, not enough quick cuts or weirdness (just guessing though)
