Automine

This 7'' single includes recordings which can be named as the origins of Animal Collective. Automine formed at the time Dave Ponter (a.k.a. Avey Tare), Brian Wetz (a.k.a. Geologist), Josh Dibb (a.k.a. Deacon), Brendan Flower (a.k.a. BARR) and David Shpritz were in high school.
The songs all have a strong Pavement influence, only rawer, slower and more lo-fi.

Omoide Hatoba

Osaka based avant-garde group consisting members of Boredoms, UFO Or Die and Acid Mothers Temple.
Pt. 1:

Dälek

The word on the street is that Dälek should billed as alternative or metal-infused hip hop, but I can't help but feel the people who do so are missing the mark. Hip hop is fundamentally a derivative art form; there is no specific sound that you can point to and say 'that is emblematic of hip hop'.

But, I'll turn around and say that Dälek is most certainly a bastion of the philosophy of hip hop. It's about digging through the collective music consciousness for new sounds to appropriate. The sometimes industrial, sometimes prog, sometimes raga-laced beats laid out by Oktopus serve as a solid foundation for MC Dälek's politically polemic verses. Enjoy.

Pestilence

Bored by the guttural, blood-and-gore stylings of an increasingly stagnant death metal scene, Mameli, Uterwijk, and Foddis -- who didn't hesitate to voice their increasing interest in jazz fusion -- put out a reactionary, uncompromisingly odd creation with album number four, 1993's Spheres.
Boasting increasingly strange arrangements; off-kilter, jazzy rhythmic structures; and an abundance of synth-guitar textures from Mameli and Uterwijk, Spheres left most of Pestilence's fan base cold, and alienated the group from its label, which reportedly strongly disliked the record. (amg)

OST Luboš Fišerr - Valerie a týden divu a.k.a. Valerie and Her Week Of Wonders



imdb valerie a týden divu

"A dark little soundtrack that we'd pitch right up there with The Wicker Man or Rosemary's Baby -- and one with a sound that's somewhere in between those two classics! The work was penned for an obscure early 70s film in the Czech new wave -- and features music that's sometimes a bit folksy, sometimes a bit spiritualist -- served up in a blend of light orchestrations, occasional choral passages, and eerie isolated instruments that include flute, harpsichord, organ, and bells! There's a darkly brooding quality that really reminds us of Komeda's last great moments for Polanski -- but the overall sound is a bit freer, and more illustrative as well -- little snippets of poetry in sound, created with a feel that's as evocative as the images they were designed to accompany."

A Silver Mt. Zion


He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corners of Our Rooms
Constellation 2000

The best release from the most well known post-godspeed band, heaps of nice sounding instruments. If you haven't seen the film Mister Lonely by Harmony Korine yet I suggest you do so straight away, it uses the awesome song 13 Angels Standing Guard 'round the Side of Your Bed in one of my favorite scenes from any film ever.

Napalm Death

The fathers of grindcore, Napalm Death pushed the envelope of metal to new extremes of ear-splitting intensity, rejecting all notions of melody, subtlety, and good taste to forge a brand of sonic assault almost frightening in its merciless brutality. (amg)

(1987) Scum / V0

Constrito

Constrito is a straight edge experimental hardcore band from São Paulo, Brazil. They manage to combine grindcore, crust, thrash, sludge/doom and even post-rock influences to create a unique sound. (last.fm)

Ya Ho Wha 13

 

"Founded in 1973 in the Los Angeles area, Ya Ho Wha 13 is a psychedelic band fronted by Father Yod, spiritual leader of the religious cult/commune called The Source Family. The band recorded nine LPs full of their extreme psychedelic sound with tribal drums and distorted guitars, some of which were completely unrehearsed jam sessions, while others contained more conventional rock songs."

These are the original 9 LP's. The best place to start is probably "Penetration: An Aquarian Symphony" and "I'm Gonna Take You Home".
