Terminal Cheesecake - Pearlesque King of the Jewmost
I think that wins on name and title alone! A seminal album for a now defunct band from London England who started like as noise terrorists, then refined their sound to include dub, copious dope smoking, obscure samples from obscure TV shows and on this album, wickedly dark sense of humour, not to forget covers of Neu! and Pink Floyd. I bought one of their later CD's from a bloke in a trendy market, I was telling how good this album was," yes, " he said... "I was the bass player!" small world
sevaCaves is album my brother and i recorded in our garage. It took about six months to finish and the sound ranges from crystal stilts, to big blood, to Leonard Cohen, and fever ray. http://sevacaves.tumblr.com/
TERROR TRAIN is Nick Huntington, 1/2 of the electronic duo Freescha. Inspired by his love for disco balls, sci-fi and horror films, "Terror Train" is 10 tracks of galactic horror boogie, ambient disco, and teenage tears.
(sorry for deleting my comment 2 times, it´s just that I post it and see some fucking english errors on it. So I delete and I try to make it better! I´m sure that there´re still a lot of errors here but I won´t correct it anymore!!)
Oh, that´s great. Actually I have two recommendations from bands that´re on bandcamp.
The first one is my own music. :) It´s hard to recommend myself so I just quote here a comment from someone in a blog who posted my music.
"The guy is called Richard There and the album If The World Calls Please Leave A Message. I heard two songs of this album before but then I heard it complete and I was really impressed. There´s a strange mix there of some dadaist elements (all this phone calls that comes between the songs), with some darkwave guitars songs and some eccentric singer-songwriter stuff. All in a nihilist world point of view. Sometimes it remembers me things like Crime and The City Solution or some early Nick Cave records."
Here the link for the album: http://richardthere.bandcamp.com
And the second one is more obscure. The band or the man is called Brian Square. This is his first EP. I just heard it 2 times now but I was really in a kind of trance hearing it. The songs change all the time between a great sense of hope and despair. Sometimes it´s scary, sometimes it´s funny. I want to dance for it but then it comes something and breaks the rhythm. And the last song of the album impressed me a lot. It´s really something special that I can´t classify. Here is the link: http://briansquare.bandcamp.com
i would love to hear something new & interesting, so it's hard to what exactly i want to hear. but would love something that combines the likes of a Salem or Fever Ray, with perhaps some hiphop? Or maybe open some peoples ears up to some TECHNO ANIMAL... The Brotherhood Of The Bomb is just insane. Precursor to a lot of these hiphop cross over, some of the sickest beats. Broke the windows in my old apartment blasting the track "Sub Species"... it's that's not a good reason for upload, I dunno what is!
B(if)tek - Frequencies Will Move Together Australian electronic noodlers create music that sits somewhere between minimal house and ambient, yet still manages to invoke hazy memories of Kraftwerk-style pop grooves. At times clinically cold, at others relentlessly rhythmic, and always a perverse mix of alien and accessible. Fun fact: They received a grant from the Australian government to investigate the effects of low frequency sounds on humans - The result is this album. Another fun fact: One of these girls is now a published journalism professor. The other is off making weird-ass folk music in America.
Soap&Skin - Lovetune for Vacuum Austrian art school dropout plays piano and sings/wails about love and loss. Highlights include DDMMYYYY, in which she has a seizure on a harpsichord(?) while a nearby woman cries; and Turbine Womb, which sounds roughly like what the unborn child of a secretary would hear from 9 to 5 every weekday.

Tim Buckley & Starsailor band, a bootleg from the concerts of Buckley's Lorca and Starsailor period. Avant garde Jazz with Tim's vocal yodeling/free styling. Rawer than in the albums.
the album cover of your next post after this reminded me of Stockhausen. His later works are even more mind blowing than his early works, sometimes more complex by a factor of 10 or 100. Try CD #48 Paare vom freitag.
It's good to see such a large community around you guys
Have A Nice Life - Deathconciousness
Wonder what happened to awesome guitar tones, anthem like beats and lyrics that wern't contrived filth? Deathconciousness is your answer. Just listen to the second track Bloodhail and you will believe me, and then probably why these guys aren't being played at the head of revolutions with such a youthful and huge sound(Seriously sounds like they're in a mill).
This is a string quartet from romania, and this album is all originals by the lead violinst Alex Balenescu. The songs are really awesome, creatively using the instrumentation for a really streamlined sound. A handful of drums, some vocal samples, and assorted other textures keep things interesting. Their other albums are worth checking out too and include kraftwerk covers, pieces by david byrne, michael nyman, gavin bryars, and other cool cats.
You should check out Lotus Child's album Gossip Diet (2006). I serendipitously discovered the album while researching Buddhist influences in Chinese art, pretty bizarre but whatever. It's worth listening to, but unfortunately the band has since ended, but two of the members became The Zolas.
You can hear some of the album here on their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/lotuschildband
Also worth noting by this band is "Can't Buy Love" which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtc7mq6JDTc
Here's an anomaly in this day and age: a band with a website that looks like it's been programmed by NASA but only three friends on their MySpace. One of which is Tom. Clearly they're new to the whole social networking lark, but seriously people, get some sort of discernable biog or press presence on the net. I have no idea who you are. I suppose that sort of business doesn't matter nearly as much as what the band actually sound like, and based on this set of compositions Scientific Support Dept. have a bit of a soft spot for all things trip hop, adding an electronica edge to their productions with touches that bring to mind Four Tet, or even Prefuse 73 (particularly on the fizzy, glitched-up programming of 'Harpi'). The second half of the album marks something of a departure from this sound, with smooth techno track 'J-Girls' and the crackly space reggae of 'Peanut in DUB'. A curious piece of work from the very start, Scientific Support Dept. are pretty hard to pin down, but helpfully that otherwise rather poorly maintained MySpace page informs us they make "Electronica/Dub/Pop", which sounds about right.
'Sets & Lights' the new material by Xeno & Oaklander!!! it's one of the coolest bands I ever hear in synth - dark wave movement in the present! This band makes all his music in Analog equipment! so fucking great! are from the label Weird Records!
or you can listen to Weimar Gesang a synth wave band from germany in the middle of the 80's. So beatiful sound! reminds me to new order but with the voice of Ian Curtis, something like that! you need to hear it!
P.D sorry for mi bad english... Cheers from Guadalajara, México.

Just a fun ass album that takes explores animal collective experimentation with a hip hop beat. just listen and you may be hooked. P.s band name is in homage to the late great Mr. Snuffulupagus http://snuffymusic.com/
You and everyone else in the world overlooked (or have never even heard of) Blake Mills' "Break Mirrors." It was hands down the best album of 2010. He used to play guitar in Simon Dawes (which is now Dawes) and has played on tour and in the studio with Julian Casablancas, Band of Horses, Lucinda Williams, Kid Rock, etc. Even if you don't repost, I know you'll love it, so take a listen.
