Avant garde since that NWW list

<< < (2/11) > >>

Kai:
Oh yeah, ...And Oceans and Sopor Aeternus would probably fit in pretty well there.

E. Spaceman:
John Cage
Autechre
Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno
This Mortal Coil
Edgar Varese
Takemitsu Toru
Early Sonic youth, or again in the SYR series
Iannis Xenakis
LaMonte Young
Boards of Canada

brew:
My Bloody Valentine's Loveless is actually an appropriate if obvious addition to the list, considering some of the stuff on there.

Older artists who are definitely a fit and who have still released some recent material:
- James Tenney (Forms 1-4, composed in the 90s)
- Tod Dockstader (the Aerial series, released in the last couple years)

If we include artists older than that time that I think deserve to be on there, then add Edgard Varese and Frederic Rzewski to the list.

est:
I have heard basically nothing off that list.  I mean, I've heard a bit of Stooges, and a bit of Frank Zappa & the Mothers, but that's about it.

John Cage and LaMonte Young are already mentioned in that.

But anyway, I haven't actually gotten to hear most of the avant-garde stuff I've heard of (and I don't claim to have heard of much of it, either). So I guess I'll second (early) Sonic Youth (haven't gotten anything from the SYR series yet, but I want to) and Swans (though I haven't heard any of their later material).
