for real. by the throat is a great album- havent listened to much of the older stuff yet- anything in particular worth checking out?

it sounds like killing terminators a lot.

Yep, fantastic album. He did a mix of tracks from the album and some of it's influences on BBC Radio 1 last December.

i dunno. i've given by the throat a good few listens and it's just not grabbing me (by the throat even). pretty underwhelming in fact.

i'm not (but then that does look a bit arts-council-grant-rock) i'll have to wait for him to play in some continental dungeon somewhere instead...

check out theory of machines too -- longer tracks, more evil. the one before that is more ambient-y.

 

[cletus_buckley]

theory of machines is an epic listen, I picked up it on vinyl and a 7" of his for no money in tower. Still havent listen to anything else by him other than a couple of youtube clips.
Here is 3 minutes of the 9 minute title track.

All he'll have to do is stare at them - he's one scarey looking dude!

 

[theoootini]

he is that alright, still think he's mad overrated and those two albums are weak. gig should be fun, he was great at the whale watching tour...

looks like a good mix. Talk Talk's 'New Grass' is one of my favourite ever songs

 

[shitepipe]

Anyone listened to the new Ravedeath, 1972- the new Tim Hecker on? Very Frostian, unsurprisingly seeing as he collaborated in it, and was recorded in Iceland.

yeah you can definitely hear his influence on the album, Tim Heckers best album i reckon and my favourite album of the year so far
