Rubberoom - Architechnology

Artist: Rubberoom

Rubberoom busts out some of the most intense and oppressive beats I've ever heard, rivaled only by Techno Animal for me (in fact, I first heard these guys guest on a Techno Animal track). If you like hip hop and/or you like your music fucking intense, check this out!

Richard Thompson - Rumor And Sigh

Artist: Richard Thompson
Album: Rumor And Sigh
Year: 1991
Genre(s): Folk, rock, singer-songwriter

One of the most underrated names in the past fifty years of folk and rock music alike, Richard Thompson is someone you should get to know. Originally playing guitar in Fairport Convention, he went on to have an extensive solo career (of which this album may very well be the highlight). Highly, highly recommended. Seriously, if 1952 Vincent Black Lightning doesn't move you or at least strike you as a great song, I don't think you're a human being.

Plague Bringer - Burning Inside (Featuring Chris Connelly)

Artist: Plague Bringer
Album: Burning Inside (Featuring Chris Connelly)
Year: 2010
Genre(s): Grindcore, industrial, metal

This is Plague Bringer covering Ministry's Burning Inside with Chris Connelly (Ministry, Pigface, Revolting Cocks, and a great solo career). Need I say more? Limited to 100 copies and the packaging is absolutely sick, so if you can get your hands on it, I'd recommend buying one.

I came back and updated this in 2011 for the year and art, thanks to TheeDr on the Last.fm page who gave me the info for this! Anyway, this is the only Dead Peasant Insurance release I've heard, but they do some very solid and cool noise jams. Three untitled tracks, about an hour long.
