I guess I was planning to post this sooner or later. Blog named after this.
David Tibet reading a collection of loosely related poems, written by the cult poet Thomas Ligotti, over some dark ambient soundscapes and sound manipulations.

Helicopter quartet. A string quartet recorded with each musician in a separate running helicopter mid air, with the noise of the engines and the blades. Not Stockhausen's best but does build up a tension, an anxious atmosphere. Might be a good starting point if you're looking into Stockhausen, it depends on where you're coming from, though I'd anyway recommend Elektronische Musik over this.
The Youtube clip above is from the film about Helikopter Quartett which I can more heartily recommend. I'm considering uploading an encode of it here later. Stay tuned.
One of the very few Lydia Lunch-related projects with actually redeemable qualities, none thanks to her however. It is also said that she hated the band while she was in it. A very short lived story, literally, the bassist George Scott III, probably better known for his efforts in James Chance & The Contortions, died of a heroin overdose the same year as they released this live recording on cassette and the band split up.
The new album of Bear Quartet. It delivers a little of that darker experimental stuff we hear on Eternity Now but it's mostly in a much more accessible pop or rock format which I don't care for much. Anyway Bear Quartet is a band I respect despite releasing albums like these, and I'd listen pretty much anything they'd decide to release anyway.
