is this a poll for common gaming, or what is being done in large studios where a person can become close to fully interactive with a game? though the game i saw was just a street fighter type, so, the interaction is limited to the game style.
my vote was for silent film era, though i would not say the height of it, just in it. there is much more to be done, and i will be somewhere else while it is going on...no more games for me.
yeah, i thought of this album just yesterday, though i never got the auto-email for this posting...but it will go on when i update it. i want to give it another listen, it is a pretty funny album as well as being great.
the demo is on par with early Pink Floyd, especially the first singles, and the pop songs on the first album, and the Kinks pop songs the rest is:
Sparks: Halfnelson (1971) g - the album jumps back and forth between their demo (quirky psych-pop structures) and the 70’s glam & soft pop/rock – not bad pop music, but it does little for me – I gave it the bump to good for now, but it is really a step down; its quirkiness saves it from obscurity.
Sparks: A Woofer in Tweeter’s Clothing (1973) d - this is nothing like the demos, it only shares the name – GLAM ROCK!
Sparks: Propaganda (1974) ee - glammmmy glam rock
Sparks: Kimono My House (1974) ee - glammy glam rock
i do not like the whole glam rock scene: Bowie, Mot the Hoople, Sweet, Kiss, Cockney Rebel, Queen, most of: Alice Cooper, Lou Reed's Glam stuff, T. Rex
though i do like: some Lou Reed songs of that style, Electric Warrior (though not as much as i used to), a few songs by Bowie here and there, and the first two Roxy Music albums, as well as singles off the next couple albums.
wow, yeah that would probably be on here if i can find out that no one knows about it, or that it is SOOO Fukcing good that it falls into the argument i made for The Modern Dance. i should just expand it to Most Underrated Albums, and get rid of the "rock" part; then i could add that, and Jazz Composer's Orchestra (1968) or whatever the official title is.
that was one of my favorite non-rock works of sound (classical, jazz, [everything else]).
i have some more work to do here...any more albums?
I HAVE NO CLUE - give me a few days to track down some Sparks material. i heard a little bit once, and the form of this demo was discarded because they wanted to take it in another direction (Glam Rock i think), they even changed their name from Halfnelson to Sparks in the process. it is probably radically different than their demos, which were British Invasion sounding (Barrett, Kinks type pop music) and similar to the rest of the "psychedelic" movement in the late 60's. i will try to get back to you on this soon.
cool, Les rallizes was on deck, but i will put it on there now!
Jandek - i have always heard more about the artist than anything from the artist, but i will try to look into it. Aida is on Wire Magazine's "100 albums that set [should've] set the world on fire", so that is the definition of underrated - but i have not gotten to that album yet....
Gallon drunk - i got a few of their albums somewhere, but i don't think i know that one - i will look for it
David thomas - definitely - i am also compiling my own list of the Most Out There albums of all time and Monster Walks the Winter Lake is the one from his collection that will go on there, as well as the non-existent Winter Comes Home is probably the more out-there album because it is even more minimal, thus weirder at times.
cool, i will try to check them out (so many albums, so little time, and literature, and movies...and a life, somewhere)
for the future, i can search your rated albums on RYM to artist specific searches which will bring up R. Stevie Moore and choose to rank them in order of which ones you rated highest and will use that as a guide - i am too busy to do research myself, and you seem to be mainlining that weirdo :^) right now!
the compilation sounds cool and that is where i have found a lot of new artists, well, new to me.
personally, i would love to make a career out of either writing or music, but i would prefer music because i have an innate desire to perform, and loathe theater (or to clarify i loathe watching theater, maybe i would like to act in a play - i will ponder that). as far as a career, i do not NEED a career in music, but i REALLY want to get a version of The Violet Love-Skin Blues out of my head at the very least, even if i have to become Lisa Germano or The Minutemen and steep to working at a coffee shop or gas station respectively, but i am going to school to get a degree so if none of this works out i can get a higher paying job than those to, not because i NEED MONEY, but the more money i have, the more money i can invest in my creations; writing only requires pen/paper, or a typewriter/paper/ink, or a computer with a hard drive, but music requires money to make good recordings; not necessarily loads and loads of money, but enough money to buy good mics, mixers, studio rent payments, instruments, studio equipment (chords, production boards, sound dampening foam - very expensive, but a money saving cost is blankets or anything that can deflect the echos in the room) and more professional (or very dedicated amateur) musicians to execute a vision.
all the best in your musical ventures, and for success to come from that compilation. i checked out some of your tracks on last.fm a while back, but i will check out what i can right now.
maybe we could collaborate in an exquisite corpse style of creation, though applied to sound and not writing or pictures. just something to think about. nothing to rush into.
cool, but that recording is very far off in the future if it ever gets done, i have not even begun any demos for a debut i want to finish first to get some experience in creating an album; it is not something that i want to make PERFECT, but i want it to be more professional than recording it in my bedroom without any mixing equipment and crappy mics which give off too much noise.... thanks for the reminder. has it helped you in your artistic ventures?

haha, i forgot about that. DIG WHILE YOUR SHOVEL IS SHARP!
now it is 11. i cannot believe i did not give this album a rating. it will go on in the next update.

here are 3 to check out:
Les diaboliques (1955)
Persona (1966)
F For Fake (1974)
