Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II

Volume II differs significantly from the first volume in the series, in that it consists of lengthy, textured ambient compositions with minimal percussion and occasional vocal samples, in a vein similar to Brian Eno's ambient works. James described the album as being "like standing in a power station on acid"^[2] and went on to note that the sounds on record were inspired by lucid dreams, and that upon awaking, he would attempt to re-create the sounds and record them. He claimed to have natural synaesthesia, which contributed to this album.^[2]

Beautiful and oftentimes disturbing, this is a mindfuck on all accounts. Repititious, mentally exhausting and possibly trance-inducing. Definitely not your typical Aphex Twin. This shit has bad (or awesome) trip written all over it.

Disc 2

Kahil El'Zabar & David Murray - We Is, Live at The Bop Shop

Sweet jams that are part free-jazz, part blues part and part freaky-deaky. Kind of just has to be heard, I'm not even gonna try to explain how it all plays out here. But if you like jazz along with some mad percussions, pick it up pronto.

Groove Allure

G A S - Pop

Gas is a project of Cologne, Germany-based electronic musician Wolfgang Voigt. Voigt cites his youthful LSD experiences in the Königsforst, a part of Germany's black forest^[1] situated near his hometown of Köln, as the inspiration behind the project^[2]. He has claimed that the intention of the project is to "bring the forest to the disco, or vice-versa"

The last, and possibly greatest, of the GAS albums, this one is the most removed from any dance/techno influence (although there are still a couple songs with a "four-on-the-floor" dance tempo). Just a wondrous beautiful album of "Free-Noise Nature" sounds that'll space you the fuck out. If you liked Tim Hecker, you'll dig GAS.

Fennesz - Endless Summer

CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC this album fits on my "Top Ten Albums of All Time" list (Top 5 maybe? That could be pushing it, but who knows?) It's noisy, it's melodic, it's beautiful, it knocks you on your ass! One of the best albums you'll find on this blog!

Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children

It's like Campfire Headphase (which is also on this blog), 'cept this album is more funky and creepy. Often hailed as their best album. Really good music to Trip to, take it from 僕me僕

An Eagle in Your Mind

Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen

It's 12:20 pm i'm a bit tight and this is one of the greatest albums ever made, this is a must listen to regardless of what kind of music you like. If you cant appreciate this one you have no business in dis kinda bidness.


Ernest Hemingway how did you do it.

Lou Reed and John Cale - Songs for Drella

I've kinda been on a Lou Reed binge this summer, I probably know why but that's not important. This is a concept album done by Lou Reed and John Cale about Andy Warhol. It's sometime sung through the voice of Warhol, sometimes it is sung in the third person about Warhol and other times it is sung from the perspective Cale and Reed about their relationship's with Warhol. this has become a new favorite of mine.

Goodbye Andy

Consumer Electronics and Merzbow - Horn of the Goat

This one here is a wild one. Japanese noise legend Merzbow teams up with power electronics pioneer Philip best (Whitehouse). The constant changes in pitch and speed make you feel like your in a sapceship going down. The constant distortion paints a good background for this kind of madness.

Hit that shit chief

Rocket From The Tombs - The Day The Earth Met The..

protopunk wildness. Crazy overdriven bass and guitar with the energy of like i don't know at least 10 water bison. Also they do an instrumental version of raw power that is to die for.

Never Gonna Kill Myself Again

Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music

good ol' Lou Reed, he never ceases to amaze me. This one is unlike any of his other albums i've heard. The best way i can describe this is contemplative noise you listen to it and it just makes you think and reflect. This one is a feedback frenzy of hums, distortion and guitar sounds, it's great. check it out if you like noise or Lou Reed.

That's Life
