Keiji Haino (AMG)- probably my latest musical obsession. Any other fans out there? If so what are your favorite albums? I've mostly been listening to his live albums. Search turned up a disappointing low number of threads.

Michio Kurihara, though much less experimental, has also been a recent favorite these last few months. I recommend White Heaven's Out to fans of psych music.

thanks for the rec, i'll check him out.

also, yeah, Michio Kurihara is great. i just got some Ghost and they are a great band, and his work with Boris was awesome too.

Oh yes Ghost great stuff. In Stormy Nights has been getting a lot of playtime.

And of course I'm a big fan of Boris/Michio Kurihara - Rainbow

Considering that I discovered Keiji Haino around ten years ago, I've not heard a great amount of his stuff, even though he's been a big influence on my musical tastes. For me his best stuff, that I've heard, is with Fu-shi-tsu-sha, "A Death Never To Be Complete", the first album I bought, and the other Tokuma discs are worth seeking out, but they are oop i think.
"Pathetique" is great, especially the last track, also i can recommend "I Saw It! That Which Before I Could Only Sense...". The double live album (PSF 15 - 16) is good but a bit of a mixed bag and I've never really cared for "Allegorical Misunderstanding".

Of his solo stuff, the double album "Abandon all words at a stroke so that prayer can come spilling out" on Alien8 is probably my favourite solo release, also check out "C'est parfait" endoctrine tu tombes le tete" a really intense live recording.

Hope this is some help, I need to hear a bit more of his stuff myself, I think.

Haino is some pretty great stuff. he has some seriously crazy albums with him screaming his lungs out. it sends chills down my spine. apparently he can play like over 80 instruments. he shreds the guitar like no other.

I had one of those live Fu-shi-tsusha things on a cassette years ago, around the time I saw the band. It was LOUD! I don't think I ever saw so many fans of a group happily reach for ear protection.
