G, Your kickback was quintupled?! You got shafted, most listeners got twice that, and even I got keys to the executive bathroom in the new Best Show wing.

Wm., The biggest gap on FMU, IMHO, is orchestral music. You should take over Bethany's turf.

Wm, Don't forget Pärt! Just a suggestion...
Avatar 1:38am
Wm.:

No worries, I love Pärt! Too many great composers to mention. Like Rich Hazelton, I used to do work for La Monte Young and volunteer at the Dream House.
Avatar 1:40am
Wm.:

I used to truck copies of The Black Album and the Pandit Pran Nath album around NYC and sell them to stores. Also used to help my ex-gf pack La Monte and Marian's vitamins! Got drunk and stoned with the composer more than once; he's a trip.
Avatar 1:42am
Droll:

Yes! Next show, for sure. Like a missing food group on the station.
  1:45am
Arvo:

Hey I can't get into any Pärt other than Tabula Rasa! The rest of it I've heard is the bad choral Christian stuff. It doesn't help that I'm doomed to be associated with him though his name is pronounced "Airvo".
Avatar 1:48am
Wm.:

Tabula Rasa is his "In C" for sure, but there are other good ones; have a few at home, but don't recall the titles.

Yet another artist and piece of music I'm certain I would not have heard of anytime soon, if ever, without Wm.'s Castle of Quiet. Quite enjoying it!

Alberich playing in NYC this weekend (tonight? tomorrow?), with Cobalt (!) and Cinema Cinema. The night and venue escapes me. ...
  2:29am
Arvo:

WOW that Voids stuff is great! total lo fi Jesu/NIN mennerisms but with the feeling! I always wondered if Justin Broadrick suited your fancy, although I always leaned to assume not.
  2:30am
Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:

Alberich, please visit the west side of these Discordant States of America!
  2:30am

Indeed, Alberiech is fucking shit up. Cadaver in Drag sounded amazing too. I'll shut up and just listen now.

duchess:

had to listen , been great, read comments as well, interesting you been listening to sven, saw him in sydney long time ago might hear you back here soon
Avatar 2:32am
Wm.:

You assume correctly, except in Khanate. Voids is pretty much one guy, if I'm not mistaken, from Florida. Sends me individual mp3s via email. Thanks, Jon! ...Many friends have done the hard sell with Jesu—don't like the vocals....
Avatar 2:33am
Wm.:

Plus, "Jesu" is just one letter away from "Jesus," and I am prejudiced! ... Hi Duchess!
Avatar 2:34am
Wm.:

Yes, I set up a "Klaus Schulze station" on Pandora, and it's led me to some great stuff, Sven Vath included.
  2:35am
Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:

Wm., did you find the vocals repellent as well during Justin's Godflesh days, then, and I suppose now as well? Just interested...
  2:36am
duchess:

love sven have you just got into him?, i think you know i love my electronica, industrial stuff havent listened to his stuff for quite some time
Avatar 2:39am
Wm.:

Meh, no the vocals were ok in Godflesh, but that whole project is overrated IMO. Everything's fucking "classic"! To my ears, he was just copping an existing style, calling it Godflesh—all the kids went for that badass name. Sorry, I just think the cat's output is over-praised in general. He's a follower, not an innovator. It's "hard" music for people who don't like it "too hard."
Avatar 2:40am
William:

Yep. Just got his first CD. Haven't even explored the hard techno stuff yet.
  2:42am
Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:

That's fair trade. Thanks for answering my question. It was revelatory for me, but just a doorway through which to go much louder, darker, deeper. I'm thankful for that.

However, I also grew up in Juneau, Alaska. Pre-Bit Coin machine. ;-)

let me know still bit of a luditte what pandora etc is wanna hear more noise!
Avatar 2:44am
Wm.:

Once you've heard Carcass, Napalm Death, and some of the drum-machine-based black metal stuff, there's no going back to Godflesh, and I heard that other stuff first, so it colored my impressions.
Avatar 2:46am
Wm.:

Pandora is online; it's a "radio station" that pretty much has everything ever issued on CD. Pretty much. You pick an artist, or even a song, and it bases / creates a station for you around that.
Avatar 2:47am
Wm.:

www.pandora.com - may not have much noise, as that's come out on indie labels and cassettes for the most part, but there's loads of techno.
  2:47am
Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:

All of that harshness, along with Extreme Noise Terror, hit me at the same time, thanks to Peel. I was an 18 year old babe in the woods. Hahaha.
Avatar 2:48am

I'd rather hear Atari Teenage Riot, more "fun" and less pretentious than ol' Justin B. No "art moves."
  2:49am
Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:

Godflesh = still impressive to me, but I've certainly been more excited about what I've gleaned through listening to this show.

lovin this dont no wot it's called dont care

noise / industrail wotever!!! goin out with a bang
  2:50am
Arvo:

Maybe he was just the most iconic of the Industrial /Metal/ Rock milieu, because that's my perspective. I mean I will take Godflesh over Die Krupps any day of the week. Some of his releases are forgettable but the ones that are not are at least to me beyond mediocre. I don't care to argue, I can see your perspective, but that's kind of my point. People have said the same thing about Controlled Bleeding, that they were copycats, and I don't like everything they've done, but I see them as people who were following a creative chain of thought without being terribly nefarious. Of course, I wasn't there. Funny what perspective does, because I just don't remember anything striking about Napalm Death. They are good but maybe they did not massage my subjective regions enough for me to remember any particularly remarkable musicality. And of course, they were innovators. that said, I don't know much drum machine driven black metal, and I'm sure I'd love it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:51am
Rory:

I don't like Godflesh either. Didn't that dude from Godflesh release Skullflower's IIIrd Gatekeeper. Awesome last hour Wm.

Avatar 2:55am
Wm.:

Arvo, I'm trying to recall a name for you, a really great Norwegian 90s drum-machine hard black project. I'll have to look when I get home. As to Controlled Bleeding, this may surprise you, but I prefer the lighter stuff, mid-80s. Prefer neither their harsh noise nor what they're doing now, which is godawful.
