Any fans in here? I just picked up a few albums and am really getting into it, wish I had taken that advice sooner, really unique stuff, especially the videos.
Thoughts?

Selected Ambient Works (the first one) is a damn fine album.

I also really like the Richard D. James Album.

Yeh, apparently the first Selected Ambient works album includes songs that were written from when he was 13 onwards. Talk about prolific.

Not really heard much of their stuff, but saw some videos and they were creepy as hell. Music was ok; a bit too industrial for my tastes, but good for the style.

Only heard a couple of tracks, but I liked 'em.

This video scares me, though.

find the video for rubber Johnny, someone please, Im to lazy to look. Its the weirdest video Ive seen, freaked me the hell out. Not really a fan though.

I was waiting for that, was going to post something similar myself but knew Erik would do it for me.

while we're on the subject of albums with "ambient" in the title... would Hostile Ambient Takeover be a good introducory album to The Melvins?

Yes, it would!

It possibly has the most straightforward sound of any of their albums, while still retaining that quirky melvins edge, which means it's easily accessible (comparitively) but isn't too big of a stretch back to anything in the latter part of their catalog. A good place to get acquainted with their sound, if you're not too familiar.

I haven't seen the Come to Daddy for a very long time


David Firth's (Salad Fingers if you are unaware) video for the AT song Milkman is pretty amusing

Haha that one is great, and the Come to Daddy video is my favorite, all though not all his music is that dark.

I didn;t think it was that dark. None of his other stuff I have heard (about 2-3 albums) was dark at all, mostly happy.

Exactly, it's all quite cheery and light, jus very fucked up patterns and time signatures.

The Dillinger Escape Plan cover of Come to Daddy is pretty badass on the drums

You need to listen to Autechre.

 

[Night Mare]

And Squarepusher too, when I have some time I certainly will...
Richard D. James lives in the same building as the dude from Autechre I think. Random information.
