Harvey Milk - A Small Turn Of Human Kindness

Artist: Harvey Milk
Album: A Small Turn Of Human Kindness
Year: 2010
Genre(s): Sludge, doom, experimental

Harvey Milk has been weirding out the sludge/doom scene for years now, and their most recent album (though their shortest) is no exception to the quality work they've put out over the last almost twenty years. A Small Turn Of Human Kindness flows as though it were just one song divided into seven parts, and features some awesome sections and great lyrics. I would advise any Harvey Milk fan to get this, and anybody looking to get into Harvey Milk to check it out as well.

Get this.

Jim Noir - Tower of Love

Artist - Jim Noir

Album - Tower of Love

Year - 2006

Genre(s) - Indie

I found out about Jim Noir (or Alan Roberts) through the video game Little Big Planet. His song "My Patch" was included with the game, and its one of the catchiest songs I have ever heard. This whole album is filled with great songs and is worth checking out.

Olga Neuwirth - Clinamen/Nodus And Construction In Space

Artist: Olga Neuwirth
Album: Clinamen/Nodus And Construction In Space
Year: 2003
Genre(s): Avant-garde, classical, experimental

Olga Neuwirth is one of not very many classical composers today making anything decent that isn't part of a film score. Clinamen/Nodus and Construction In Space are two highly experimental and highly unsettling pieces created with fantastic musicianship and talent. Olga Neuwirth's take on classical music is utterly gutwrenching, but I mean this in the best possible way. This is incredibly weird stuff that sounds like she took a lot of influence from Penderecki and Cage alike.

The Music Of Friedrich Nietzsche

Artist: Friedrich Nietzsche
Album: The Music Of Friedrich Nietzsche
Genre(s): Classical, romantic

Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the greatest philosophers of all time, but it is a much lesser-known fact that he was also a pretty incredible composer (though this explains his relationship with composer Richard Wagner). I will be honest here: this is just a random collection I grabbed off Soulseek and I am not even sure which musicians are performing Nietzsche's pieces here. What I can tell you is that it offers a fascinating insight into Nietzsche expressing himself with music instead of words. This is highly recommended.

Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat - The E.P.s

Artist: Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat
Genre(s): Neofolk, apocalyptic folk, folk, experimental

Again, sorry for the long delay between posts here. I'm going to start to make up for it with what I think is a really cool post right here. I uploaded Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat's only full-length earlier, and now here are their three E.P.s. If you're a fan of Death In June or Current 93 or any of that type of stuff, this will be right up your alley. And if you're curious what's up with them lately, I guess they're working on a new full-length, which hopefully will be complete soon. You know I'll be putting that up when it is, so not to worry.

Sorry

Has it really been two weeks since anyone last posted? Jeez. We've all been really busy and forgetful. I apologize. Don't worry, though, we'll put up more very shortly. I have a few ideas for some awesome stuff to put up, so our few followers can perhaps check it out.

Venetian Snares - Horsey Noises

Artist: Venetian Snares
Album: Horsey Noises
Year: 2009
Genre(s): Electronic, experimental, breakcore

This E.P. is short but manic and typical Venetian Snares insanity. Horsey Noises and the remix, Horsey Noisers, are two of the only songs to feature vocals from Venetian Snares, making them sort of different.

Album: A Culture Of Monsters
Year: 2010
Genre(s): Powerviolence, death metal, noise, progressive, experimental

Bastard Noise have really gotten interesting lately, moving beyond noise and back into powerviolence as they did with Man Is The Bastard. This is not your ordinary stuff by any means... some weird and very interesting stuff right here. Great fucking album.

Z-Rock Hawaii

Artist: Z-Rock Hawaii
Album: Z-Rock Hawaii
Year:
Genre(s): Experimental, noise rock, alternative

Z-Rock Hawaii comes from a pretty interesting lineup, to say the least... it's basically a Ween/Boredoms collaboration, featuring Dean and Gene Ween of Ween as well as Yamantaka Eye, Seiichi Yamamoto, Yoshimi P-We, and Yoshikawa Toyohito of Boredoms. The result is noisy, interesting, and sometimes even kind of funny.

Give it a shot.

IC joins the Big Dipster team

We have a new member, IC, who just put up his first post, an Earl Shilton album. We look forward to his future contributions.

Earl Shilton - Two Rooms (Full of Insects)

Artist: Earl Shilton

Genre(s): Experimental death/black/thrash metal

Earl Shilton is a one man project of Alex Thomas (who was the drummer for Bolt Thrower on Mercenary). I've always had a hard time pinning the music down to one genre, but the entire album is great because of that. Supposedly he's played live shows with his brother and sister filling in on drums and bass. Technically, the title track is Zwei Räume (Voller Insekten)... it's just in German. In 2007 he posted a blog on MySpace saying a new album was finished... I have yet to hear it though. Until then, check out this album, it's his only official release so far and it's a damn good one.

Winters In Osaka - Swarm Of Witches

Artist: Winters In Osaka
Album: Swarm Of Witches
Year: ???
Genre(s): Noise

Chicago noise band containing one of the guys from Plague Bringer and a bunch of other dudes, some of whom are from other bands I'm not really familiar with. This is really good stuff. I'm not familiar with a lot of Winters In Osaka, but what little I know has made them one of my favorite noise groups, and this is my favorite release I have of theirs.

Why don't you give it a listen?

Isis - Live

Artist: Isis
Genre(s): Post-metal, progressive

One of the greatest bands of the last ten years that will have a huge amount of influence yet on great bands to come (at least, I'd guess they will) was Isis, who broke up just recently to go about their separate paths. Throughout their career of various studio work and E.P.s, they also released five live albums. As a somewhat late tribute to Isis and their still sort of recent end, I'm posting all the official live works in one entry. Listen to all of them, but Live V is the best one (Oceanic in its entirety mastered by Justin Broadrick). Enjoy.

Live II

Maps & Atlases - The Three E.P.s

Artist: Maps & Atlases
Genre(s): Math rock

One of the first posts on the Big Dipster was Perch Patchwork, the most recent Maps & Atlases album. If that was your first exposure, you REALLY need to get the E.P.s. Bird Barnyard is all right and shows an interesting and very different start. Trees, Swallows, Houses is kind of like Minus The Bear on crack, angel dust, acid, and ecstacy. You And Me And The Mountain calms it down a bit, but contains some great songwriting and is a good precursor to Perch Patchwork. Check these out.

Boredoms - Chocolate Synthesizer

Artist: Boredoms
Album: Chocolate Synthesizer
Year: 1994
Genre(s): Noise rock, experimental, noise

One of my favorite releases from a band that's really at the forefront of the "Japanoise" underground. This release is definitely weird, but easier to get into than some of their other stuff.

Try it out.

Tuxedomoon - Desire

Artist: Tuxedomoon
Album: Desire
Year: 1981
Genre(s): Post-punk, avant-garde

Tuxedomoon is pretty neat and fairly well-known in the avant-garde popular music scene. If you haven't heard them before this is a good one. If you have heard them but don't have this one, it's worth getting, too. You win either way. Unless you already have this album. Then you can just appreciate that we're posting it for everyone to enjoy.

Genre(s) - Indie/Alternative

The Hush Sound is an Indie quartet based out of Chicago. Most of their songs feature female vocalist and pianist Greta Salpeter, who also has a solo project which I hear is pretty good. Anyway, check out The Hush Sound and choose to dig it or not.
