When I was using bittorrent, I also had a lot of problems finding some of these albums. You really should try soulseek. I've never failed to find something eventually on there.
I would agree with both Deep Waters and Driver UFO as excellent suggestions, especially Deep Waters. Truly a masterpiece, probably one of my top 20-40 songs ever.
I know what your saying man. I keep hoping that there will be another outburst of creativity, like in the late 60s, or the new wave, or the early to mid 90s. It just seems that things have been getting worse and worse since the late 90s.
Yea, I was just wondering because if you did it would be a lot easier to find some of the stuff on and off this list. Especially classical, which is really a bitch to find on the internet while knowing what kind of recording you're getting.
I see you've upgraded The Downward Spiral to masterpiece status. I've also enjoyed that album a lot recently, albeit it was my first time with it. What made you decide to move it up?
Well what I was saying is that it's a movement that is gathering steam and may soon become a major force. As of now, your right in that it is incredibly obscure, which leads me to think that when these programs become more widespread and cheaper these works will become easier to find.
Oh yea and by the way, I just listened to Transcontinental Conspiracy yesterday. Woweird.
I think as sound creation programs become cheaper and more user friendly, we may see an entirely new genre of music based on an infinite number of sounds/samples/noises made by computers.
Luke, what do you think of Fare Forward Voyagers? I see it's not on here at all, is that because you really don't care for it or because you don't have it?
Yea, I've only been able to hear Asristir once. Its pretty much the opposite of OV in that nothing is ever repeated, and instead of one long track it's got and endless number of short bursts. I think that Orthrelm's work may best be used as a jumping off point for other artists, artists that would explore their innovations in a more emotional way.
There are a good number of "Scaruffists" on there, so its not really very surprising that it recommended albums you love. I also just recently made a rym account.
I think Orthrelm may actually be the best bet. I've just recently been listening to some of their stuff, and the potential is there for something truly remarkable. Their combination of speed metal ferocity, stop and start rhythms as in Trout Mask Replica, and a combination of Neu! and Terry Riley for repetitive patterns, is truly unprecedented. Their work is very challenging, and I haven't listened to it much at all, so maybe one day I'll think of OV or one of their earlier EPs as masterpieces. Who knows?
Seriously? I've never heard anyone else compare The Wire to Lost and 24. I don't really think they are alike at all, but whatever. I'd encourage you to try it again, but if you really disliked it that strongly, by all means don't give it another try.

For whatever it's worth, Scaruffi seems to think you already have done some serious criticism.

Nice list! I'm excited to see how this all ends up.
BTW, do you have soulseek?

Wow.
I've never seen pitchfork stoop that low before.
