Has anyone heard The Reverend Horton Heat btw?

Didn't know there was one. What's it called?

It's called "I Believe In The Spirit", it's out tomorrow.

changes all the time...

first i most love classical music so:
1. beethoven string quartet opus 131
-all his late string quartes are so utterly brilliant...
2. anton webern 5 pieces for string quartet opus 5
-webern's music is the music most close to my heart...
3. pierre boulez pli selon pli
-i know opinions on his music vary greatly but for me boulez is the best living composer...his shimmering, sparkling sound tapestries feel as they are both logical and magical at the same time..pure genius

my pop music i like to be raw, loud, dark and any combination of the three :-) so
4. the stooges raw power
5. joy division isolation

You Love Us- Manic Street Preachers: Because it makes me want to jump up and down like I did 12 years ago when I first heard the song!

Move any mountain- Shamen Thought it was so cool back then! Atari ST and cool Shamen music 24.7!

Kabalah-Astral Projection My turning point into hard/psychedelic trance.

Born Slippy-Underworld For reminding me my university years in Coventry and Striling

Motorcycle Emptiness-Manic Street Preachers For being the greatest tune ever!

Heh, these choices probably will have changed by this evening, but here's a selection:

Praxis - Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) - oh fuck it, i've tried but I can't classify it - best I can come up with is an album where thrash, funk, record scratching, soulful guitar melodies and out-there electronic sounds all coincide (Animal Behaviour is a fantastic track), played by the likes of Buckethead, Bootsy Collins, Bill Laswell et al. Well worth tracking down. On another day I might have said Mr. Bungle, depends on the mood i'm in at the time.

Metallica - Master of Puppets - being taken on holiday at about 14 and watching the lights of Cyprus at 20,000 feet while Orion was playing on my walkman.

United DJs of America vol. 3: Josh Wink - A very nice slice of trance.

KLF - Chill Out - What more needs to be said about this? Fantastic.

4-Hero - Parallel Universe - Probably one of the best Drum 'n' Bass albums i've ever heard. Two Pages was but a shadow compared to this. Essential. (in my collection anyway)

stark wrote: Electric Head Pt 1 -White Zombie
first track i ever heard of theirs at donington 96, they were one of the opening acts but i got right down in the pit for these guys. such energy, such a unique sound, such raw anger, but you could still hear the fucking words ( unlike too many of todays metal bands) - ok so the lyrics aint up to much but , by goat, the feeling i get when i listen to this is electric. i just jump around my room making devil hands. its quite wonderful stuff

Hehe, I was at Donnington '96 too, White Zombie were quality! I thought that Slayer should have been on before Metallica though (and given more time as well), it didn't seem right that they were playing in daylight somehow...
