This was my 777th post. In a thread like this! That's bound to mean something (1).

Groet, Erik

(1) probably not.

I should pretend to be too humble to mention that many of the folks listed are on the same label as I am. But I aint...

I have the microphone that the first Zoviet France album (and the first 2 DVOA releases)was recorded with hanging on the wall about 2 feet from me at this very moment.

I love that stuff. Spybey seems to be one of the few folks in this genre these days that manages to evoke a sense of humor. Great stuff. Plus, he did that record with my pal Niels...

Notice how many time Steve Stapleton's various guises keeps popping up in these lists? Brilliant guy. I am so glad he is back at it...and it seems, with a vengeance. I can't recommend enough his new records on BLR, including the remixed "In Menstrual Night" from Current 93. If you haven't heard his current work, get thee to www.blrrecords.com and listen to the MP3 from "She and Me Fall Together in Death". Wonderful.

Laurie Anderson

Yes!! Laurie Anderson. Brilliant!

Fine weird artist is that lass. Didn't she once play her violin while her feet were in blocks of ice? Paris, France I believe it was?

I wonder if the influence of the NWW influence list has something to do with it? There was so much in the list, I see reference to it pop all the time out on the web.

For those who've never seen it, it can be found here.

Cheers,
Steve

What an extensive list...!

How about:

Crash Worship
Datach'i
Nobukazu Takemura
Lovesliescrushing

and um, Blue Man Group (but I wish their music was as unconventional as their instruments; the albums really don't live up to the experience of seeing them live)

Yeah, that list was stuck inside either the first or second album. I still have them around somewhere, as a part of the Psilotripitaka boxed set of LPs...
