what one artist do you like the most that ilm doesn't seem to rate at all

I think fgti and myself are the only Tierra Whack obsessives here

i like tierra whack! probs not an obsessive mind!

Some fey UK indie combo from 30+ years ago, in all probability. LOL. Though that's such a low-degree-of-difficulty move that I'll stop myself there.

jhene aiko

I rate her a lot, not sure how much i count as ilm

Telepath

This album is really very great. I don't care how Belle & Sebastian-y they are or the fact that they shamelessly have the same name as the 60s band.

There are tracks in this link and this is also the only profile of them I've found, and it's their only LP (from 2005):

all of my attempts to promote the somewhat popular (104k plays/month on spotify) australian melodic prog band caligula's horse has been a total failure, possibly because they are an australian melodic prog band

Probably lots I could name. Chastity Belt comes to mind.

Many, many things.

A search for "Trouble Funk" turns up only one thread, from 2004 and briefly revived in 2012. Was listening to Saturday Night Live From Washington DC earlier; it's killer. Two side-long jams.

Is there any kind of Go-go thread?

would love a trouble funk topic, or at least a potpourri go-go one.

I love Telepath more than life itself, at least through late 2015. I'm of the [evidently popular] opinion that the quality of his work dropped off somewhat when he went sample-free. I've actually thought about starting a chronological track-by-track thread for Telepath/Virtual Dream Plaza if there were enough interest...

if human beings could live to be 200 I'd probably get into Telepath's stuff

Am I dreaming or isn’t there a massive dc go-go thread that was started by curmudgeon a long time ago?

xp lol yeah I feel like fully appreciating Telepath/slushwave in general requires a deliberate slowdown of one's biological rhythms

telepath rules

maybe My Morning Jacket? those first 3-4 records were some of my favorites of the early oughts and I think they hold up really well.

probably responsible for a lot of crap imitations in the intervening years though
