Recommend me some drone

http://somafm.com/play/dronezone

pretty bloody amazing non-stop drone ....also shows you the entire playlist should anything stand out (in a drone-sh way ;) ) .... i 'm currently enjoying stars of the lid (touring london VERY soon)


recently heard these folk: James Plotkin and Mark Spybey -

some throbbing gristle i would call drone... heathen earth is pretty amazing, although on the whole i prefer their live recordings to the albums
( - TG)

Swans:

"Test Dept." are another name i have been recommended myself, yet to really look into it though

i quite like some of the angels of light stuff i've heard








.....and i'm not entirely sure what "drone" is if it is indeed a specific genre... i think i just associate "drone" as a genre with whatever i find drone-ish... which happens to include some throbbing gristle and swans... etc;)
 
he was still good, don't get me wrong... but you can't get the same level of intensity hacking away on an acoustic guitar.
 
swans ...at their best are quite a violent relentlessness but there is an intensity with angels of light not quite so aggressive but it grows into quite a startling tension in its own right......... "nations" does it for me:

and gira tinkling away with "blind" is rather unnerving
 
I've got a new 'joyous drone' pro-ject on the go. Might cheer some of you mopey lot up. I'll keep you updated.

-NO, YOU MUST KEEP YOUR CAPE ON. :mad: :D

I agree though; apart from the SotL, Windy & Carl, etc, end of the spectrum, there's too much doom and not nearly enough joy.
 
there's plenty of gorgeous ecstatic or gentle pastoral stuff out there. Stuff on Students of Decay, CPsiP, Digitalis, Ruralfaune etc
 
How interesting, I'm going through a massive drone phase at the moment.

Depends what your looking for really.

I saw someone mentioned sun((((o They are really heavy but if your in to that its well worth a look.

You could check out lovesliescrushing. Its all done on guitar and sometimes there is a little vocal although not very often.

My favorite band in the world is seefeel which are pretty droney.

What sort of drone are you looking for? Is it guitars or synths or what?

If you like the synth stuff theres a great radio station called Still Stream at http://www.stillstream.com/ . Its beatless radio, I go here quite a bit although I do have to turn of when the chanting starts. Ive been makign some improv drone myself recently using Ableton and a guitar. If you interested you can hear it here http://members.soundclick.com/one+tonne+mum (hope thats not to cheeky)

Bianchi is a fucking legend, done some amazing stuff, some a lot gentler and accessible than Symphony... though that is an awesome piece

At War With false Noise has a 25th anniversary reissue of MAURIZIO BIANCHI - "The Plain Truth" coming out soon

get it...and support this cracking label!

good friend of mine runs his label and licenced all his back catalogue. it must total about a foot's worth in my CD collection!

think the plain truth is out already - or maybe release was delayed. i've had a copy for MONTHS. it's great.

personally, i really don't see the big fuss about 'symphony' - it just reminds me of early Cabaret Voltaire/Nocturnal Emissions etc releases or a lot of the other stuff going about then.

everyone dismisses his Jehovas Witness period stuff but actually i think some of it is stunning.

though apparently he's still a rather strange chappie, which doesn't come as a great surprise.

NB: I'd have thought for 'drone' the likes of Alvin Lucier, La Monte Young etc would be first port of call? Some Lucier stuff is amazing.

you mean that 'long slow screw' video? i'm in that somewhere. that first UK tour swans did still rates as thee most intense live shows i have ever seen.

not to mention the loudest. for about two weeks after everyone sounded like they'd inhaled helium when they spoke.

jarboe released a series of other live videos of early footage. don't s'pose anyone's got any of 'em?

:)

UI've got Swans DVD complitation off Karagarga - doesn't play on anything but a pc though for some reason - a description:

This is a raw document of the band SWANS, those of you not familiar they were part of the 'no wave' scene in the early 80s. They moved onto other things in the late 80s then disbanding in 1997. This DVD contains live footage from the 1980's tours, but also interviews, small pieces of video art . . .and other bits and pieces.

Any good to you?

I saw them in the 80s in bristol and they were so loud that they did structual damage to the building.

you should get the sunn O))) / boris album (altar). it's fucking AMAZING.
Click to expand...

Massive disappointment for me tho'. :(

Dunno, I normally like this kind of thing, but the packaging and Sinking Belle were the best two things about Altar. Otherwise, no.
 
Live365 is deadly for the bank balance. Several stations on there - "Cedarburg dreamtime" / "Ferngerm sleeps" ...
