Lyceum - 19/4/80.

As a bonus, a clip to watch from
when they played the Napa Metal
Hospital in 1978.

The Orb - Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld 1991
After a hard day of stalking pop stars, making crank
phone calls and spreading lies on wikipedia, I like to
relax and feel all floaty with this album.

Beware Of Safety - dogs 2009
Beware Of Safety are an instrumental post-rock
band from California.
The band play sprawling, instrumental rock that
at times could be classified as post-metal, post-rock,
and even math rock at times.
In the same vein as This will Destroy You.

The Plight - Winds Of Osiris 2009
The Plights debut album has a metallic slant
crossed with hardcore and a doomy undercurrent
of guitar riffs and thumping drums.
Some nice tuneful touches do not take away
the heaviness or hardcore/punky feel.

Black Math Horseman - Wyllt 2009
Alchemic Psych-Rock ......... ambient Post-Doom .......... what the fuck
have I just typed?? What do those genres mean? ...... give it a listen
if you like Subarchnoid Space ..... trippy guitar with heaviness.

Motorhead - Motorhead 1977
Anyone with the slightest interest in Stoner music or
who thinks that the genre began with Kyuss needs to
listen to this.
Raw rock/punk/metal, this dirty piece on sonic mayhem
set the scene for much of what followed.

Pianos Become The Teeth - Old Pride 2010
Despite the strange/terrible?
name, Pianos Become The Teeth
have produced an album of truly
impassioned Post-Hardcore noise rock.
A big, big sonic sound with crushing
tunes .....I'm a liking it!

Lye By Mistake - Arrangements for Fulminating Vective 2006
Lye By Mistake are Tech/Prog/Metal with
Hardcore Jazz influences......... kinda like a
shouty Dysrhythmia.
I cannot begin to give an accurate description
of them - watch the film for an idea!

Droids Attack - Must Destroy 2010
This is the 3rd album from Droids Attack and they
continue to deliver deep grooves and BIG riffs.
Combining High on Fire with Sabbath sounds,
this Stoner/Doom hook laden album is
complimented with a classic rock organ
sound which is never over-used.

Black Sabbath - Come To The Sabbath 1970

4 - Black Sabbath
5 - N.I.B -
6 - Behind The Wall Of Sleep
7 - War Pigs
8 - Fairies Wear Boots

Year Of No Light - Nord 2006
Post-Metal from France and this is some
heavy shit. Everything about it is crushingly
heavy but just when brown liquid is starting
to dribble from your brain out of your ears,
you start to hear really tuneful guitar riffs,
almost post-rock like passages.
They sing in French, so I have no idea what
they are shouting about but I can only make
out every 5th word in a Cult of Luna song, so
it does not detract.
I am not going to put videos up for Post-Metal
bands any more - it slows the page opening up
and more importantly, you either hate or love
this sort of stuff ..... there is no middle ground.
Do you need a clip of shouty beardy men scaring
a crowd of people to know if you like it?

The Electric Prunes - Live In Stockholm 1967
As expected, The Electric Prunes play
their best known hits - Too Much To Dream
& Get Me To The World On Time but unlike
so many live albums from the '60's, this
is fantastic quality, showcasing the fuzzed
guitars, wigged out lyrics, free form jams
and a powerful blues sound.
Like, crazy man!

Scale The Summit - Carving Desert Canyons 2009
An instrumental progressive metal
band from Texas, Scale The Summit
are heavy & intricate but without
descending into guitar wankery, this
4 piece deliver the goods and not a
forked devil sign to be seen!

The Heads - At Last! 2003
Once upon a time there was a
band called Spaceman 3. They
took the fuzz driven riffs of The
Stooges and mixed up with the
MC5's space rock and psychedelic
freak outs and they were very,
very good. But ........................
they could also be very, very slow
and go on for a long time.
The Heads decided to take the
blueprint and be faster, heavier
and instead of vocals that sounded
half asleep, added a snarl that
to my ears sounds like Thurston Moore.
and The Heads are very, very good and
make me jump up and down and it all
ends happily ever after.
