Which artist are you /mu/'s resident expert on?
Moonman
K K K
Giraffes? Giraffes!
Know a decent bit about AnCo too (especially Panda Bear, he resonates a lot with me as a fellow drumbro)
Minutemen
that's because in 2009 the only thing i listened to were Minutemen and Mike Watt's projects after Boon died, i was obsessed, i've read and watched anything related to them.
Big Blood
Maybe Grouper too but I'm not 100% sure about that one because /mu/'s Grouper fanbase tends to keep quiet, there might be someone who out-experts me hiding in the shadows

what do you mean by expert?
>>60763477
Probably not, although they both wanted to die. Once you get to a certain point in the business, almost everything you do is planned out for you. You're forced to live a life re-living the pains and struggles that got you to that point in the first place. Elliott's career was fueled by severe depression and alcoholism, and Kurt's by teenage angst. They both felt they were being mentally tortured with record contracts forcing them to put out more records that would still be rejected if they were too far off from the sound that got them famous. Elliott even wrote to Dreamworks threatening to take his own life if they would not let him go. So he turned to heroin around this peroid, not sure if it was because of the breakup with Joanna Bolme or the pressure from his music. All I know was that he was NOT on heroin for the release of his self titled album and was primarily an alcoholic. I have this crazy theory that he based his persona off of Eliot Rosewater from the Kurt Vonnegut books. But we can talk about that later. Kurt turned to heroin when he was rejected by Tobi Vale of Bikini Kill, before Nirvana even gained the worldwide credibility they had today. I think when you're in a position where you're pressured to put out good material and hard drugs become more and more accessible with the money you're making and places you go, the temptation to do them is real. Now for Elliott, if the autopsy report really confirmed that there were no hesitation marks, and Jennifer Chiba, a trained medical professional, pulled the fucking knife out of his chest, then there is a high probability that Elliott either planned this out with her (told her to kill him), actually did stab himself, or was murdered by her, which is very believable considering how depressing his music already is, how easy it'd be to make up a sob story. I don't even think he loved Chiba that much. Elliott was mainly upset about publicly displaying so much sadness and worrying his pare

nts and family. Kurt, on the other hand, loved the hell out his mother and most of her side of the family, and of course, Courtney. This is because Kurt comes from a family of divorce and his family with Courtney and Frances was crucial to him, it was so important for him to just finally get the security of a stable family he always longed for as a child. So this point makes it very shocking that he actually killed himself. Now I didn't watch Soaked in Bleach, because I think it's fucking bullshit, but I know a lot about this guy. He planned out his entire life. He was kind of a sociopath. His dream from the start was to become a famous musician, a rock star, and go out in a flash of glory, like Evel Kneivel. Later it was punk rock, then back to rock n' roll and the 27 club. So there's no doubt that he either forsaw this to happen or planned it. He "writes" in his journal or somewhere (we think), that his death would "save" Frances and Courtney from a life of slandering. After all, tabloids were really very cruel to them. When someone like Kurt or Elliott dies, they have heaps and heaps of quality unreleased music that they saved for quite potentially this reason: For their families to make money off of royalties from the unreleased music by releasing it slowly over the course of many years, and people worshipping them only makes it easier and more rewarding. Hendrix is a prime example of this. Honestly these people (Hendrix included) hated themselves and didn't want anyone else to experience the pain they did, which is why they put out beautiful music and gave their lives to it. I think it's not really even important whether or not they were murdered, because in the end, they're gone anyway.

Dear Gas/Grouper expert,
Pop is one of my top 10 albums, do you know of any others that sound even remotely similar to it?
I've heard that the Mille Plateaux version of his s/t is way better that the more circulated Nah Und Fern version, is that true? Is it worth seeking out?
Why was Ruckverzuberang (or however the fuck it's spelled) 10 so shit?
Where do you rate Ruins in Grouper's discography?

In pretty sure no one on /mu/ has listened to more Incubus than me. I was pretty obsessed with them from age 12-15 to the extent that I hardly listened to any other band at that time.

>>60765490
Favorite song a toss up between Happily and story of my life.
Why I like them their sound changes a lot but you can tell it's still them. You can see the growth from Harry and Zayne carrying most of the sound to everyone contributing. Made in the AM sounds like something they wanted to write, they love what they do and it shows. Sure they're over produced boy band but their stuff is still good.
Recs? Made in the AM and Four. Go in without expectations and you'll come out with a fave or two. The point is to remember they grew into their sound and it shows.
Queen or Gorillaz because apparently I'm the only person here who still listens the fuck out of them.
>>60765756
Down Colorful Hill. I love both, but Rollercoaster has a couple sour moments, whereas DCH doesn't in my eyes. I pin this as a result of the fact that those few songs on DCH had been years in the making.
The originality is there on both, but more so on DCH, especially with Lord Kill The Pain, which in my opinion is a very unorthodox song for RHP, especially for that era.

Swans. I can name full personnel for every album in the Swans catalogue and their contributions. I know a bunch of background stuff about them and have met/talked with the current incarnation. Have memorized the lyrics to several albums top go bottom.
>>60767029
general consensus says their second album, "In Keeping Secrets". I say their third, "Good Apollo Volume 1".
Their first is more post hardcore than anything, second through fourth are prog rock with some pop songs, 5th is more experimental, 6/7th are just kinda meh "rock" and their latest is trash, skip it.

an american family portrays brian as an acid guzzling headcase. van dyke parks is a pretentious fruity nerd and a destructive influence on brians life. they use actual beach boys songs up until 'smile' at which point, because they are trying to portray it as crazy nonsense music, they use generic 'crazy sounding' incidental music.
funny how the same story can inspire completely opposite retellings/versions of history

>>60767526
>Have you seen/Did you like Love & Mercy?
Yeah. It's fuckin' good.
Beautiful Dreamer and IJWMfTT are both good, particularly Beautiful Dreamer. Summer Dreams and An American Family, not so much. Brian hates the latter for a good reason. I also recommend Endless Harmony: The Beach Boys Story as it was written by Alan Boyd who's an archive manager for Brother Records and one of the main compilers for the Smile Sessions.
>>60767357
It's definitely up there as one of his better songs, and is probably the best out of his collabs with Donny (other than maybe Bruja.) Shame he doesn't go nearly as hard anymore, he's pretty much done the closest thing he possibly could to 'selling out' as of late and it seems to be making him more money and getting him more recognition than ever before. Hell, the last truly experimental thing he's done was under the fucking Machine Code moniker, and that's supposed to be the less abrasive project. At this point he'll probably never do anything super experimental or interesting for at least a few years other than the occasional backlog release, and even that will probably stop.
>>60763642
Where did you get the idea he turned to heroin because he was rejected by Vale? Did he not tell everyone in his life he did it because of his undiagnosed stomachs pains? I believe Buzz Osbourne himself said this year when interviewed about Montage of Heck that Kurt confided in him at a young age that the stomache pain thing was bullshit and he just really, really liked opiates.
I think I'm one of the bigger Phil fanatics on here.

The thing with Genesis is they change so much over the years - so, it depends what kind of stuff you like.
If you like weird prog, start off with Foxtrot. Then Selling England, Nursery Cryme, the Lamb, Wind and Wuthering.
If you are into melodic music, both soft and hard, go Wind and Wuthering, The Lamb, Selling England, Trespass, Trick of the Tail
If you like catchy and really strong prog stuff, go Duke, Abacab, Wind and Wuthering, Nursery Cryme
If you want to get into their most generic prog catalog, do Selling England, Foxtrot, Trick, The Lamb
The lineup changed a lot over time. It's Tony Banks (keyboard) and Mike Rutherford (guitar/bass) the whole time. Phil Collins (drums/vocals past 1975) is there for every album except the first two and the last one (1971-1991). Steve Hackett, lead guitarist, was on from 1971-1977 and this period is considered to be the most 'prog-ey' period. Peter Gabriel (vocals/flute) is credited as being the 'good' Genesis while phil singing was 'bad' genesis but this isn't true at all - he just gets credit for 'prog-ey' influence since they became pop-oriented in the 1980s. But he left in 1975, and the five albums that followed (Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, And then there were three, Duke, Abacab) are reaaaally reallllyyyy fantastic records. My favourite period.

My favourite Genesis member is definitely keyboardist Tony Banks. Favourite album is a toss-up between Wind and Wuthering, Duke, and the Lamb - but nowadays I would put them in that order. Sometimes depending on how I feel my order changes.
My favourite individual Genesis songs are Supper's Ready, The Musical Box, and One for the Vine. If you google search 'Best prog rock song,' Supper's Ready often shows up. It's 23 minutes long, a total masterpiece, and is about 8 songs put together with a few reprises at the end. fantastic listen - but maybe a little difficult for the beginning. Musical Box and One for the Vine are probably easier 'starter' tracks. The most typical "muh Peter Gabriel era only and I've only listened to one album twice but pretend to be an expert and Phil Collins sucks btw" song is Firth of Fifth, which is fantastic, but I find got boring fast.
Tony Banks is the best keyboardist ever and his contributions to songwriting are the fucking best.
Mike Rutherford has a lot of great moments but wrote so many terrible songs I just don't get it.
Peter Gabriel's voice is okay but I like a lot of the music he put out with them. He's a little weird, and whenever a song sounds like the lyrics don't fit, it's because of him.
Steve Hackett is a fantastic guitar player. Firth of Fifth, One for the Vine - nuff said.
Phil Collins - controversial because of his shitty later stuff, but he's an amazing musician. He really is one of the best drummers of all time - listen to the Lamb album and you'll know right away. Even The Musical Box - he's 21 when it was released - the drumming is phenomenal. And he has one of the best voices of all time - listen to Dodo/Lurker and Domino.

Albums -
1969 From Genesis to Revelations - doesn't even count. don't bother
1970 Trespass 7/10 - before Phil and Steve. Mike Rutherford's best friend Ant Phillips plays guitar on this record - and has a huge... 'pastoral' influence. This album is ESSENTIAL pasture-core - for more like it, listen to Ant Phillip's 1976 album The Geese and the Ghost. Last album with Ant and without Phil&Steve. Best song - Stagnation
1971 Nursery Cryme 7/10 - First w/ Phil and Steve. Some parts of the album are dodgy but the album is very noticeably prog AF. Phil sings 'For absent friends' on this album, he sings lots of backup from the beginning on, and they note that he sounds like Peter. Best track - The Musical Box.
1972 Foxtrot 8/10 - Much less dodgy parts. Lots of great moments from all members here, and the whole second half with 'Supper's Ready' is just phenomenal. Best track - obviously Supper's Ready
1973 Selling England By The Pound 8/10. Musically very good, tons of great tracks including Firth of Fifth, great solos from all members, but it's a bit dodgy at parts as well, a bit like Nursery Cryme. No track stands out as much on this album as on the previous ones. Best song - The Cinema Show
1974 - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 9/10. Concept double album about a kid called Rael in new york who goes on a surreal trip. Fantastic album to listen to all in one go, or as background music. The album is a lot less 'busy' since they had some extra time to spread out. Lots of great sounds, but the concept is weak. The band was getting real tired of Pete's antics, he left after this album and they auditioned 200+people to sing before realizing Phil was the best. Best track - The Colony of Slippermen
1976 Trick of the Tail 7/10 - lots of people love this album, favourite of all time etc, but I'm not crazy about it. Lots of great soft songs, and great hard songs, it's just not for me. Best track - Squonk or Los Endos. at the end of the album...

At the end of Trick, you can hear Phil singing the words to Supper's ready: "There's an angel standing in the sun..." , best ending to a Genesis album.
1976 Wind and Wuthering 9/10 - Tony dominated this album, and it's so melodic and almost romantic, yet still hard and soft at the same time. Beautiful. Phil's voice sounds like velvet chocolate semen on this album. 'Your Own Special Way (written by Mike) is a fucking horrible track though. Best track - One for the Vine.
1978 And then there were three 7/10 - unpopular album, still lots of good times on the album, everyone shines a little bit, first album without Steve Hackett. At this point, it's just the trio - no changes for over a decade. Sounds a bit like a mix between Duke, Wind and Wuthering, and Abacab, not too memorable but still sounds good. Best track - probably Many too many
1980 Duke 9/10 - This album is fucking awesome. It's their last real 'prog' album and simultaneously their first pop album. it's dominated by the 'Duke Suite,' six songs which were intended to be together (and done live together) but divided up on the album to avoid comparison to Supper's Ready. Includes great prog tracks such as Duke's Travels and great pop tracks such as Misunderstanding. A few boring songs though, or else it would be 10/10. Best track - the entire Duke suite (which can be found together on youtube)
1981 Abacab 8/10 - This album is a little less prog-ey but has tons of driving melodies, harsh sounds, hard and soft songs, and completely awesome vocals and harmonies. Best track - Dodo/Lurker (one of Phil's best singing tracks)
1983 Genesis 4/10 - some prog elements but now the band sounds like an 80s pop band. The song 'Mama' is fucking awesome though and is Phil's best vocal track. best track - Home by the Sea
1986 Invisible Touch - pop album. not prog-ey at all. best track - Domino. a good album for 80s pop though i guess
>>60768339
>>60769381
1991 We Can't Dance 6/10 - it's okay, some good music, some bad music, production is pretty good, best track - Fading Lights which is actually pretty prog-ey.
All in all, best Genesis tracks -
Supper's ready
Musical Box
One for the Vine
Slippermen
Duke suite
In the cage
Dodo/Lurker
My recommendation, if I had to pick any, is a 1983 live version of a medley of old songs they did. Sounds awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_12_-jzqOlE

>Why do you think autechre took so long to put out a live album?
I think they've explained this before a bit, but essentially they believe the whole and certain aspects (ie a big soundsystem definitely create a more "brutal" physical reaction the darkness, spatial/atmospheric factors etc) lends itself to a more memorable experience - at least with their live material. Also they had trouble deciding how they would put it together, a few times they didn't even record their sets( they go into this more in their AMA). Finally, they felt like they were milking their fans for money and it made them uncomfortable.
>What do you think their next album is gonna be like?
They've spent the past 3 years rebuilding and reprogramming their system for this live tour, so I'd assume it would sound similar to AE_Live, or at least fundamentally since it'll most likely be the same configuration. You can never tell though from the accompanying tour tho, like the Oversteps live material was completely different from the album, however the Untilted live shows were quite similar to it's respective release.
Personally I want harder, more structured beats akin to Draft or Chiastic as opposed to the more watery percussion they've been doing on the past 3 or so albums.
>Do you think they will ever break up?
Not for a while off, especially since the way they work (emailing patches back and fork) is super efficient. But even if ae ends, Rob and Sean will probably always be making music in some format.

You might like 94 Diskont by Oval. I haven't found too much like Pop either, it's one of a kind, really.
And yeah, the Mille version is definitely worth seeking out, as the Nah Und Fern version seems to have shorter or longer track times (which bugs the shit out of me desu) I'm not sure what Ruckverzuberang 10 is..?
Ruins I actually would rate fairly high in her discog. I really enjoyed it (my favorite album by her is probably Cover the Windows and the Walls)

Autechre has already been mentioned, but I am a backup expert. I just took a count and I have 21 of their physical releases on my shelf; just came from a second lifetime USA concert from them. A fan almost 15 years.
Since a ctrl+f shows nothing, I'm going to go there. I will also hazard Aphex Twin, in a backup capacity. I've been rediscovering his stuff lately after a long absence, and I've purchased two newer items. A fan a bit longer than 15 years.
I really really like the above, but I don't know where they took a shit last tuesday or anything.

What do you know about Whitehouse and SPK's body of work? I've heard a few SPK things I really liked (and I probably already heard your go-to seminal tape, I honestly don't remember the name). Top 3 SPK pls. What do you think of Genocide Organ?

Fuck, I thought this thread died. I just read Heavier Than Heaven, and I know it's just written by some biographer but it seems like he knows his shit, and he cites his sources. It says he turned to heroin around that point in the book, and it makes sense. People get melodramatic when they break up with someone (get broken up with) and they turn to suicidal actions like doing heroin.

He's actually not full of shit. Kurt was really exaggerating, but he definitely did have those things to an extent. I'm not sure if he ever actually had a stomach ailment or if it was because of malnutrition. I've lived a very similar lifestyle to Kurt and his friends and have grown up around a lot of similar people. Buzz was kind of like an older brother figure to him, introducing him to so much music and image. He was always rough with the kid, and seeing his 'student' succumb to such pussy shit is an outrage. He's speaking out of tough love. I personally think there was no actual stomach ailment until he started really getting unhealthy in his mid 20's. Like I said, Kurt was a sociopath to an extent.

Nothing really. They feel like they're making music in a vacuum, like they're musical progression is in a timeline that is completely detached from other music.
Anyway, Syd Barrett is the usual comparison. Later-era Coil too.
