Diverse metal-themed mix.  A couple silly tracks next to some hard hitting post-metal; I think the image here sums this up perfectly.  Worth it to stay until the end for an excellent Suicidal Tendencies rarity.

529 The Remix According to James Plotkin

I was first introduced to James Plotkin through the band Old, then was enamored with his solo album The Joy of Disease.  His collaborations with Mick Harris and Mark Spybey really solidified my appreciation of his artistry.  I have checked into some of his work with Aaron Turner in Jodis and Lotus Eaters which is wonderful ambient music from them, and of course Khanate is incredible.  Otherwise, I really need to seek out more of his works and productions as I've been impressed by everything I have so far.  

Here is a collection of the remixes I was able to track down and they're all over the map.  Diversity in his approach for sure.

487 Counting 0 to 30

Nothing original here, this has to be a common theme for playlists.  This is my take.  Had originally planned just a one to ten, then remembered this great Godflesh cover, and this Nick Cave song came on rotation so I felt I needed to continue it.   I almost stopped at 21 as it was hard searching for this title as 99% of the search results were for Twenty One Pilots, ugh!  At least I remembered King Crimson, which kept this one moving along.   Honestly, after thirty I really struggled to find anything I cared enough about to include. 

I really like how much this mix jumps around, I find it fun and entertaining.

405 The Remix According To Lustmord

The master of dark ambience.  I know I don't have a stereo set up or headphones in high enough quality to fully immerse in and appreciate his music.  His remixes apply his darkness to more beat oriented works and the results are stunning.  Probably the only person that can actually pull off remixing Tool.

325 Top Ten EPs

I seem to gravitate toward and appreciate the EP format more than full lengths.  As a general statement, I like material from groups on EPs the most, I think it hides their best deep cuts and gives more experimental freedom than working to keep a concept or theme for a full length album.  Here's my list of top ten (in no particular order) EPs that I've collected.  Starting it off with Future Sound of London who I knew from Papua New Guinea, and picked this EP up based on its creating title.  The music was nothing like what I expected and I much preferred this to the more straightforward techno I assumed they were lumped together with.  The whole EP is a fantastic 20 minute journey through several different styles and I love every minute of it.  It is because of this EP that I continue my exploration of everything FSOL releases, there are just so many hidden gems in their catalog.  Next is Daughter, who I came across by my wife around 2013 or so.  She said she loved their music while we were watching Marie Antoinette one evening (though they have nothing to do with that film).  I bought this 10" and thought it was so well done, and gave some umph to the indie folk sound.  Even though I hear this track everywhere from soundtracks to commercials to intermission music on NPR, I still love it.  The album version of this track seems to have lost some of the impact, it felt almost tamed down.  Then His Name Is Alive again, yes because they are just that great.  This is the best 12" from them, hands down.  Its the simple folk singalong style of this track that endears them most to me.  

Next is a two for one, as I felt like I won the lottery when I came across both of these groups.  First Derniere Volonte, and their French Miltant Pop sound came across like a lightning bolt.  Powerful and catchy, and adding the doomy neo-folk and experimentalism of Novy Svet created some real synergy here.  Novy Svet is my real win here, and I've spent a lot tracking down most of their catalog.  So diverse, so bizarre, and so wonderful.  They are something special.  

Volcano the Bear was so unique, like freak folk and lo-fi and free jazz, and hidden underneath a series of catchy melodies and shimmering beauty.  Honestly, I dialed in the playlist entry here, which though its a great song, I recall rushing through this and not pulling out "Yak Folks Y'Are" which was my entry point to their wonderfully wacky world.  Up next is Stereolab and Nurse With Wound collaborating on the krautrock homage across two EPs.  This was my first real exposure to Stereolab, aside from hearing them on MTV occasionally.  Nurse With Would certainly plied their alchemy with the source material, and the results are just mind melting.  I could've picked any of the collaborations from Crumb Duck or Trippin with the Birds, as they are all equally amazing.

The first time I heard the Twilight Sad I was blown away.  This track in particular comes through like a jet engine over headphones.  The singer's thick accent, the nostalgic lyrics, the crushing wall of noise from the band.  This was certainly too good to last, and they've mellowed in recent years (in my opinion).  Then there is the collaboration of Dalek and Techno Animal, where adding lyrics to this track on their remix made it so much more than it was on its own.  I'd already been a devotee to the JK Broadrick club and was diving in deep on every side project he had, when I came across the deep and esoteric lryics of Dalek that really captured my attention.  I of course grabbed up all the Dalek albums I could fine ("Absence" could have easily made the top LPs list). 

The last two tracks are in stark contrast of each other.  First is Isis (the band) which sadly had to clarify their name posthumously because of the changing political landscape.   Still, they earned their genre defining place in post-metal lore.  From their sludgy blackened beginnings to the sheer bliss of their post-metal endings and every step in-between, they've been in constant play on my turntable.  I do regret that I missed seeing Jesu open for them on a tour in the early 2000's.  Wish I'd gone to that one.  The Red Sea EP was the first I came across back in the day, and I think it was the recognizable David Lynch samples that kept my attention and then the music came and crushed me like a tsunami.  Ending it all with Autechre, because this EP was constantly by my side for high school and college, and many years afterwards.  Its diverse, dark, unparalleled in its day and showed that Autechre was a standout from their peers.

324 Top 10 LPs

One year anniversary of this blog, so in no particular order, here are my top ten albums.  Every track is incredible so it was a challenging task to pick just one to represent the whole in this mix.  I knew of Frightened Rabbit for a couple years, and Pedestrian Verse was the first I bought from them.  The lyrics and the edgy, fresh take on alternative sound hit me like a ton of bricks.  Back in my earl 20s I was lucky enough to grab the double album vinyl of Nino Rojo/Rejoicing in the Hands from Devendra Banhart.  I knew him from his earlier outsider folk on Young Gods records, and saw him as part of the Angels of Light in the Brainwashed Eye documentary.  These two albums are so closely related I pretty much consider my double vinyl as one extra long album instead of two distinct pieces.  I even played one of these songs at my wedding for a dance with my mother.  

His Name Is Alive came to my ears via Teletunes on public access TV, where I saw the mesmerizing video directed/animated by the Quay Brothers.  Two for one on this find, my life was forever changed.  As for HNIA, I bought anything and everything I could ever find from them, including waiting during the wee hours of the morning to get that elusive pre-order email for the Cloud box set.  In all their variations of line ups and sound, I never lost my enthusiasm for their music.  The Legendary Pink Dots, like HNIA, I've done multiple overviews of their music here.  IN this case, the Pink Box was the first exposure I had, and is still nearest to my heart.  Yeah, I know its not an album but a compilation, still in the late 90's where it was hard to find their music in local stores, this was my introduction and served as point of reference for all the subsequent albums I purchased in the early days of the internet.  

Coil, another life changing discovery in high school.  There really isn't anything else quite like Coil, and Love's Secret Domain was my introduction point, having bought the CD from Life By Design in Colorado Springs.  My Life with the Thill Kill Kult was playing in Independent Records when I went shopping with my Mom in the mid 90s.  She noticed how much I liked it, and knowing how shy I was, she went to the store clerk and secretly bought the store copy for me as a gift.  It was so sweet of her, and really highlights what I miss most about my Mom, she always knew I had bizarre taste in music and felt she should indulge me and encourage musical exploration as much as possible.  Next up is Meat Beat Manifesto, and this cassette was a permanent fixture in my walkman during study hall for much of my freshmen year.  Industrial rap with heavy slathering of noise and fun samples.  Every album they released felt like it was 5-10 years ahead of the rest of the electronic music community.  I remember driving through the Garden of the Gods with my friend Paul, when NPR played this track by Pelican Daughters.  It was so sublime and fit that afternoon so perfectly.  This was another special order from Life By Design, and has been one of my most played CDs in the last 30 years.  I ended up striking up an email correspondence with Andy Ranzten from this group, and we exchanged some music, I remixed some of the Pelican Daughter's music, and he sent me a few CD-Rs of unreleased material from them and his projects around the same time.  

Muslimgauze was a find in the Soleilmoon catalog.  I saw how prolific this artist was, and picked Azure Deux based on its description as my entry point.  I was not disappointed for my blind effort here.  The description matched the music and mood.  I know, this is also a compilation, not an album, but for an introduction it covers a lot of ground.  Obviously I love this music, I've made more than a dozen overview mixes for them, and will likely make another dozen more as there are so many songs I enjoy that strongly.   Lastly is the greatest post-metal band in my opinion, Cult of Luna.  I liked their name, and saw references to Neurosis and Isis (the band) so I started with Somewhere Along the Highway.  I put the CD on while I was cleaning the house, and somewhere around track 2 or 3 I couldn't stop grinning.  This was my kind of metal, and so well executed.  The next time I saw my friend Mike, I made sure he knew to check them out, and he too became an avid fan.   We saw them play in Denver a couple years later, and that was one of the ten best live shows I've ever seen, especially the lighting.

231a - Jesu overview pt1

Jesu is the post-Godflesh project from Justin K Broadrick.  It became his full time focus, and not another side project.  The style began similar enough to how Godflesh wrapped up (in their first incarnation); and sure enough the last song on the last album was named Jesu and gave a preview of what was to come.  After the first couple albums, Jesu & Conqueror, the style became more post-rock and less doom-heavy.  There are moments that are almost pop-post-metal in style with an almost accessible sound coming from this.  That was always offset by the side long, ambient-metal tracks and still heavier than a death in the family sound on many tracks.  One regret is that I missed the opportunity to see them perform on tour with Isis (the band).
