As a relatively new Cope obsessive I’ve only come on board when everything is quiet. As such I’ve missed a lot of stuff back when it was current. Playing catch up witness some of Cope’s own input is expensive and I’m naturally a completist. Similarly I’m really interested in discovering new music. I’m currently going through AOTM and checking out what seems to appeal to me. The old Drudion posts are interesting, also, but I’m finding it interwsting to plough through and see what interests me. Can anyone chuck in some thoughts about some epic amazing stuff they’ve discovered through the Druidion or AOTM posts? I have a bit of a thing for anything for under produced metal CDr releases too. Thanks in advance.

Off the top of my head I would recommend: Gunslingers Stone Breath Death Comes Along Orthodox Monoshock Temple of Bon Matin Qa'a Terminal Lovers And if you can track down anything by Holy McGrail, do not hesitate. Especially "Burning Holy Rome".

Or any of my other Cope needs ...

One good way of checking new stuff is the weekly Soundtracks of Our Lives thread on here - I've discovered a whole bunch of new stuff by reading what others on here are listening to.

Hi, drudeawakening. Here's several that come to mind that have stuck with me ever since Julian first reviewed them: Tetragrammaton: "Elegy for Native Tongues" Live, free form improvisation that reminds me of the Philip K. Dick quote "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away." The weaving and repetitive textures of this album elevate to a point where they collect and hold like a low pressure system. And when it's over, you can go to sleep. Nathaniel Mayer: "Why Don't You Give It To Me?" Stellar offering from late in Mayer's life with soulfully grizzled vocals with great garage backing. Side two has a great live run-on of several songs that Julian accurately compared to another side two: Kim Fowley's OUTRAGEOUS (1968) album. (If you don't know it...get it.) Death Comes Along: "Death Comes Along" I second Citizensmurf's reply. This album is truly brilliant: absolutely insane, fucked up, cryptic, psychotic, psychedelic and every other adjective you can think of for a record that makes you feel like you're on drugs when you're straight and...dead when you're on drugs. A.R. & Machines: "Echo" A masterpiece. This double album expands time whenever I listen to it. Nearly the soundtrack of everything that's ever happened in human history, both known and unknown. Boredoms: "Vision Creation Newsun" Disorienting, inspiring, energetic, wild and at points blissfully simple, this album stands up all these long years since I first bought it a day after I first read Julian's review...November 2001?!! Furze: "Sathanas' Megalomania" (off the "Necromanzee Cogent" album) Julian wrote about this in his NEFARIOUS ARTISTS custom compilation review. Hectic metal that makes you wonder what's going on for 23 minutes. Hope this helps.

I concur with Seth Man. Also if you haven't found a copy, the 3cd Copendium compilation is a great taster for the AOTMs.

My ten favorite AOTM would be: 1. A.R.and Machines - Echo 2. Franco Battiato - Fetus 3. Kim Fowley - Outrageous 4. Tokyo Kid Brothers - Throw Away the Books, Let's Go into the Streets 5. Magma - Kontarkosz 6. Les Rallizes Denudes - Heavier than a Death in the Family (though I prefer Live '77, which has most of these tracks) 7. Far Out - S/T 8. Alrune Rod - Hey Duj 9. Randy Holden - Population 2 10. Speed, Glue & Shinki - Eve Keep in mind, I'm still stuck in the 70s...

Totally with you on that Boredoms review SM! I did the same - ordered immediately - and who wouldn't? A stunning review for a still awesome album.

If you'd be content with a burn (if you're in the UK) or dropbox/googledrive mp3 of Burning Holy Rome then I'd be happy to oblige...
