as far as techno, i'm pretty into the new Damon Wild doublepack on Kanzleramt. especially "mr mean" and "halflife." the combo of "tough" stompy drums and totally wussed out synths is, in general, pretty unbeatable, imo.
as far as rock music, i'd always have to go with Lungfish and the Lungfish side-project The Pupils on Dischord. if you want to give them a shot, i think i'd recommend starting with Lungfish's "Sound in Time," completely amazing start to finish. not that i necessarily think you've never heard these records, but those are the things i'm into right now. also, i'd agree with Chad about Stars of the Lid. droning, largely guitar based, i think, ambient. and the show they played in urbana last year was one of the best i've seen. which i think is saying a lot, considering i'm an impatient guy and it was an ambient show. eric On Tue, 9 Mar 2004, synthetic tom wrote: > sorry to re-post this question, but i'm craving some new music that > i've never heard of before, and there's no better place to ask than > here. > > as for me, i've recently discovered DeepChord and Docile Recordings and > i'm loving them both. buy on sight as far as i'm concerned. > > playing right now: Drexciya "Digital Tsunami" > > later y'alls > > t >
