i really want sugarshit sharp, mainly for the neubauten cover, can't find it anywhere,,, any links?
google is your friend.

Speaking of DnB, do you know about any other folk that have done something like this? I was slightly disappointed with this attempt, to be honest. He could have done much more with the beats: now it just sounds like Derek Bailey in one ear and (pretty boring) DnB in the other.

A better question would be, who doesn't? :p

In terms of actually sounding like Krautrock, OOIOO are probably the most fabulous.
Then maybe Rovo, Afrirampo, Hoahio, Syzygys,... (basically all contemporary Japanese Free-Rock)

For something completely different, the new Subway album seems to be heavily influenced by Motorik and more electronic Kraut artists.

Hmmm, I'll try to think of more (if noone else comes up with anything).

i think plunderphonics just means "makes good use of a sampler"... i've heard it applied mainly to stuff like DJ Shadow

Anyway, that makes most instrumental hip hop I've heard plunderphonics. But that aside, what about the sound collage, then? I don't have any experience with that, either. RYM's page mentions Cage and Xenakis, among some others. Does anyone have any leads on where to start?

edit:
Thanks to wrdlbrmpf, too. Is the name 'Stock, Hausen & Walkman' a pun on Karlheinz Stockhausen and the use of tape, by any chance?

I think the line usually gets drawn between artists who are primarily collagists and ones who are primarily songwriters but as always there's overlap, or artists using similar techniques. A lot of industrial artists did sound collages. Sample heavy hip hop or turntablism also comes to mind, where a lot of the samples are used for their significance instead of musical value as well.

hey, i really like this song.
i wouldnt mind having a few cds of this kind of stuff (to start with).
can u help [please/ty].

Hi there guys,

After two months, i Got a new request for this desk:

I´m looking for a big 80´s guitar-rock/pop-album.
You know something like "The Joshua Tree".
My range of request reaches from alternative-pop to new wave.
You know something that´s located somewhere between U2, The Police and Prefab Sprout. I don´t know any songs by Echo and the Bunnymen. Do you think, they match my request? I´m not too interested (at least by now) in the whole 80´s Indie-Scene. I´m reaching for the real big ones ;) That´s what I would love to explore. It would be great if it had an autumnal flair. So please hook me up.

bye and thanks in advance

Anyone got some tips on this whole 'new weird america' thing? I keep coming across these things while listening to the Acid Mothers Temple & The Paraiso U.F.O. radio and it sounds pretty good.
Anyway, something that goes along with that would be nice. Thanks in advance.

hey, im looking to get some good comps of 60s Folk Pop or Psych Pop or Garage Rock or Psych Rock rarities/singles. like the Nuggets cds (I plan to get the San Francisco one that was out a couple of years ago soon).
please rec me ur favs. ty.

Hey, just wondering if anyone can help me find some more of a particular style of music I've really been getting into lately. It's something I usually think of as "electronic jazz." Now I don't mean in the nu-jazz sense of the word, where electronic artists try to sound like they're playing jazz. I mean, Flanger is cool and all, but I'm looking for something more original. The kind of music I want is primarily electronic music with a free-jazz sort of structure. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but artists like Burning Star Core, Vladislav Delay, Autechre (especially the albums Confield and Draft 7.30), Black Dice, Supersilent, La Peste, Oval, Kites, (some of) Ryoji Ikeda, Dead Voices On Air, and Merzbow are a few of the names I think of.

I didn't put this in the jazz desk because I don't consider it to be "jazz" in the normal sense of the word; rather, that's the best way I can think to describe the sound I'm searching for.

It'd be great if I could get some recommendations for artists I haven't heard of. I mean, I could just look at the similar artists lists for all those artists, but I think if I got suggestions from a real person who knows what I'm talking about, I'd find much greater things.

Oh, and I'm not opposed to non-electronic music suggestions, but electronics are more appealing to me for some reason. (I blame all the video games I played as a kid (and still play!))

By the way, I've also checked out some "real jazz" like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sun Ra, and a bit of Herbie Hancock... I think I prefer the latter two more at the moment, but I still consider myself new to the world of "real jazz".

tl;dr glitchy abstract noisy arrhythmic (possibly-)electronic music that experiments with structure and succeeds more often than not.

Thanks :)
