Freak Me Out

The label rings a bell Jim. Cannot quite recall where I saw it - certainly not on that CD you mention. My brother lives in Melbourne (raised the average IQ of both countries when he left NZ, to quote a really old trans-Tasman joke), so maybe he can get me a copy.

Try, "The Rhythm Devils Play River Music"!

Check out Alien Sex Fiend, Front Line Assembly,Gary Numan,Skinny Puppy,Ethyl Meatplow,Ministry (the land of rape and honey),Ozric Tentacles,& Barkmarket

I agree with one of the post above. Krono's Black Angels is genius music that could make you fall out of your chair at times, at the same time retaining very well recorded musicality.

Here's a few. Sound track to Twin Peaks, the David Lynch TV serial(remember?). Henry Kaiser, the guitar player, does a good job of recording indiginous music of strange places with known musicians - I like 'A World Out of Time' with David Lindley in Madagascar. Djivan Gasparian has a wonderful CD of Armenian flute & voice called 'I Will Not be Sad in this World' - this is a soul crying out in a universal language. Finally, and with a high recommendation, try 'The Sound of the Vanishing World' by Kroke (oriente music). Kroke is a klezmer group from Cracaow in Poland. This CD is excellent; I heard it on the radio late one night and trcked it down. Proof that there is still culture and vitality in Poland (as they say in the notes). It sounds to me like songs the earth will play when we at last can hear that music. Good hunting.
