Ziltoid The Omniscient (2007)

Greetings humans, I am Ziltoid The Omniscient.

I have come from far across the omniverse.

You shall fetch me your universe's ultimate cup of coffee...

Black!

You have five Earth minutes.

Make it perfect!

The Ugly Organ (2003)

If at first you don't succeed

you gotta recreate your misery

'cause we all know art is hard

young artists have gotta starve

Try, and fail, and try again

the comforts of repetition

Keep churning out those hits

'til it's all the same old shit

Pamyu Pamyu Revolution (2012)

Chances are that you know what this is if you follow j-pop at all. It's good, it's catchy, and her fashion sense rivals that of Lady Gaga. This is the follow up to her mini-album, and her first full release. Three tracks make a return on this album, but the new content is what you would expect from Ms. Pamyu Pamyu: the unexpected.

In the Attic of the Universe (2007)

The band's second release, back when the band was only Silberman. This time around, things still remain acoustic and very folk influenced, but there are a few more instrumentals this time around. Commenting on this album, Silberman said that the album was written during a low point in his life, where he would often turn to the vastness of the universe to find comfort. He also stated the album has a large theme of religious misdirection, which was inspired by his tendency to find "the wrong solutions" to his problems in life.


And suddenly I saw that I was
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof.
Finally it had found me,
The answer, the feeling, and the truth: that I'm small.
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball.

Merzbeat (2002)

Standard Merzbow noise set over very simplistic drum beats that feature a fair amount of distortion. It's surprisingly pleasurable to the ear, despite the rest of his discography being almost the complete opposite.

I was influenced by aggressive Blues Rock guitar sounds like Jimi Hendrix, Lou Reed, Robert Fripp and fuzz organ sounds such as Mike Ratledge of Soft Machine. But the most structured Noise influence would have to be Free Jazz such as Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, and Frank Wright. I saw the Cecil Taylor Unit in 1973 and it was very influential. I was a drummer for a free form Rock band in the late '70s and I became very interested in the pulse beat of the drums within Free Jazz. I thought it was more aggressive than Rock drums. I also became interested in electronic kinds of sounds. I started listening to more electro-acoustic music like Pierre Henry, Stockhausen, Fancois Bayle, Gordon Mumma and Xenakis. Then I found the forum for mixing these influences into pure electronic noise. I was trying to create an extreme form of free music. In the beginning, I had a very conceptual mind set. I tried to quit using any instruments which related to, or were played by, the human body. It was then that I found tape.

Neck of the Woods (2012)

I shouldn't really need to introduce these guys. Alternative rock with a hint of indie and noise influence.


If we can stay here long enough
We can play with Bloody Mary
Say her name into the dark
Activate our nerve endings

Heavy Rocks (2011)

The sequel to the trio's 2002 album. Just as loud and just as redefining as the original, Boris does not disappoint. I'm also going to include the record version of the final track on the album, since the track fades out after about a minute or so on any other format.

They intend to conquer the universe.
We're gonna kick out the evil guys.

Turn On The Bright Lights (2002)

Good indie rock hidden under the guide of post-punk revival.

We can cap the old times, make playing only logical harm.
It takes a long time just to get this all straight.

A View From The End Of The World (2010)

The latest album from Machinae Supremacy, the strange Swedish SID-metal group.  It's not quite as good as Overworld, but that's rather difficult of an album to top.  There are some weak spots on here, but the best tracks may even outdo some of the best on the aforementioned album.  It loses a few points for consistency; regardless, it's a great album, and I'm glad that the band keeps refining their style.

A borderless nation of thoughts to replace your walled-in existence in space.

Moshi Moshi Harajuku (2011)

First mini-album by the up-and-coming j-pop singer. It's petty fuckin' kawaii.
