John is hungry

Aquarius Records

Anyone familiar with them or their web site? A friend at work just turned me on to it. Every week they post a top 20 list of new and interesting music along with audio samples, influences, and readable, unpretentious reviews. It is my new favorite music site.

does most of this fall under “noise” or is there actual music?

Experimental, drones, noise, field recordings, and the like, yes. It’s getting harder and harder to find guitar bands that are interesting.

“A swirling, slow moving prog-doom juggernaut. Massive downtuned riffage churns around fluttery flutes, while wheezing accordions whirl beneath angelic female vox and warm whirring organs, all wound into subtly complex expanses of slow motion heaviness and epic cinematic dronemetal…almost like a magnificent, hypothetical Boris/Bardo Pond collaboration.”

Yes, totally unpretentious.

I like my top 20 lists labeled, titled and organized. If you accept this as a top 20 list, then I un-accept our friendship, goofnark.

It’s 20 selected albums from 117. It’s top 20 enough for me.

I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
