The M/F Thread 2009: The Quickening
rednightmare:
Hi everybody. I have been lurking for an embarrassingly long time and I thought I would contribute a little something.
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
I imagine most of the regulars of this forum at least know of KC but I think someone out there has yet to hear this classic. Here is a quick snip from Allmusics's rather long review.
--- Quote ---...As if somehow prophetic, King Crimson projected a darker and edgier brand of post-psychedelic rock. Likewise, they were inherently intelligent -- a sort of thinking man's Pink Floyd. Fripp demonstrates his innate aptitude for contrasts and the value of silence within a performance, even as far back as "21st Century Schizoid Man." The song is nothing short of the aural antecedent to what would become the entire heavy alternative/grunge sound. ..

After posting that relic I feel the need to post something slightly more recent.
Phideaux - Chupacabras
The best way to describe this is that it sounds like a more graceful Porcupine Tree or a more modern Eloy without the accent. The title track is a 20 minute epic of a song, but imo well worth the listen. If you like spacey music this is for you.

Let me know if I did something wrong. I did a forum search before posting this so I don't think these are hiding away somewhere in this thread.

Wonderful. pure eargasm. I was planning on upping this soon. This is one of the single most perfect albums I've ever listened to. I have their self titled album if anyone wants it.

No, it was definitely upped a while back. A while meaning over a year ago. I first got that album through that thread. But if you don't have that album yet you really should get it if you like any form of loud noisy punk. It's one of my favorite scremo albums ever.
You Are Brahman you should definitely upload the s/t, I don't have it.

I've had this one on repeat since it came out a fortnight ago, it's an impressive compilation from the literature/other stuff magazine out of Melbourne, The Lifted Brow. These are the 2 discs accompanying the latest issue, a 266 page tome, decidedly worth the $25 to pick up. A few names you'll know, as well as some excellent ones I'd never heard of before. For deciphering whose side projects these are (eg Goblin Cock is the metal band of Rob Crow from Pinback) as well as a of a list of which musicians contributed to the written component, check out the pitchfork article.
