Speaking of off-the-wall black metal, anyone into black metal with noise? I hardly foray into this realm as I need to be in the right mood, but this band seems to have something going on (helps they're slightly more "accessible" than other noise bands). Nightmarish. Ambience/build up until 4:00, then the black metal blasts in.
Reminds me a bit of MZ412. Their "Burning the Temple of God" albums is one of the albums that got me into industrial/noise music. Funny really, because of a bm record I started visiting the Maschinenfest festival on a yearly basis. I've got a lot of vinyl from labels like Cold Meat Industry, Ant Zen, Hymen and Form of Hands.
This is one of the MZ412 tracks that really left a lasting impression on me. Don't just skip through this track but kill the lights and grab a headphone and sit back.
I went to a record shop the other week, and the guy had this, original press, on the wall behind the register, so for kicks I asked, "How much for the Ash Ra Tempel lp?" "Well, ya know it's a pricey one... *him haw* er, well *him haw* I'll probably put it on ebay.... *draws it out even more* I'm thinking around $850." It goes for around $200 or $250 on discogs.... The dudes prices are always all over the place, but this one was the best yet!

A really cool book to read is Julian Cope's Krautrock Sampler. It is kind of hard to find, and expensive also for a paperback. That has to be my favorite book on the subject along with Ultima Thule's Crack In The Cosmic Egg! I actually purchased some Kraut vinyl back in the mid 1990s when it became kinda cool. Most krautrock I have is CD though. Great stuff! I think the CD I have of the above is made from a vinyl record as the original masters were lost or recorded over?
I love all the record finding stories I hear from friends. My favorites are the bins where the records have not been touched for 35 years. Kind of like gold mining. I spend 4 hours once in a closet of a pawn-shop, which had been untouched for a while as no one knew it was there, and when I walked out I looked pretty dirty because of records stacked to the ceiling.Great fun! There was a time in California when you could go into these record stores and find cool records under the racks, just waiting. Everyone was trading in their records for CDs.
But to differentiate Vaed's comment: I don't play an instrument. I'm the one that does the pretty words and pretty pictures. My autograph is worthless on Ebay.
