Re: How did I ever get by without that record?
 

Sundog, are you familiar with Bailter Space, the shoegaze band from New Zealand? If not, I think you should give Robot World a listen. The genre has never appealed to me to any great extent, but that record is an absolute gem.

My current record-without-which-life-would-be-even-less-worth-living is Everything and More by Dolly Mixture:

This three-CD set contains every Dolly Mixture release as well as some hitherto unreleased tracks. More than two hours of glorious lo-fi girl-group pop.

Wow! Dolly Mixture! I never would have thought that they would get a mention on the TLO forum! Absolutely one of my most favoritest bands ever. That 3CD set is a total godsend. I had been rabidly collecting all their orginal releases over the years (I've got everything except for their last 7", Remember This), but that set is just what I'd been waiting for.

Re: How did I ever get by without that record?
 

Sounds like an impressive collection, DD. Sadly, I missed out on the vinyl rerelease of Demonstration Tapes, so all I have is the retrospective. I wish I owned at least some of the originals.

Edit: Corrected for excessive tweeness.

'Big in Japan' is NOT a recommendation.

Re: How did I ever get by without that record?
 

Nurse with Wound or at least their earlier material seems on the same spectrum as a lot of Japanese bands I used to like, like Merzbow, Boredoms, Keiji Haino, Masonna, etc...but at the moment am more into trance + house...!

I joined this forum for the Ligotti discussion but I'm very impressed with everyone's cool/weird music credibility!

I've loved this album since it came out, but over the years it's become an indispensable "die without it" favorite.

Sleeps With Fishes by Pieter Nooten and Michael Brook

Here's Michael Brook's web site listing of the album: Sleeps With The Fishes (1987) Michael Brook & Pieter Nooten | Michael Brook - The Official Website

And a blog (not mine) which expresses similar thoughts to my own about the album form is void: pieter nooten & michael brook: sleeps with the fishes

I've been wondering why I didn't buy this sooner:
