Amanita is a good place to start, in my opinion.

Lapsed and Amanita are their best. I dont think Dilate is that good of a record. Ive been meaning to get their selections album for a while now, you know that one where its selected tracks from all those releases in the past few years.

Silly me. I realized that I meant Dilate and not Inside. I like that record a lot.

i would suggest Lapsed or Amanita... On The Ellipse is the only one I've never been so enthusiastic about...

I really like Dilate and Set and Setting too...

I've only listened to Dilate.
Good stuff though.
+ it seems popular.

that's the one bicorn posted on his blog.

I'd start with Lapsed but you really can't go wrong with bordo pond.

yeah, that buck paco split is awesome, I'm happy to have it on 12".

John is really nice and funny. I talked to him in Brussels for a while and we arranged my marriage with Isobel.

I got Lapsed and it is very good.

i've got a CD-R by him called ice bird, it's quite nice

i love amanita as well.

Also highly recommended:

Bardo Pond 2004-03-25 BBC John Peel by auto_pilot

July 10 at Johnny Brendas, Philly, pretty much their only nonFestival gig scheduled this year...

this is a makeup for the gig in a month or 2 ago there, I took the train down from NYC and learned when I got there the transformer into the bldg had exploded during an opener, so the gig was cx. They were burning candles in the bar. the 2am Greyhound back to NYC was an experience.

Lapsed is brilliantly layered. It's one of those albums that magnetizes you from the very beginning, grabs you by your pot-head neck, and just holds you there until it's over.

You will struggle to beat lapsed, it sounds like heavy sun.

And ive never done drugs.

Their self-titled they released last year is incredible! I know I put it on my top 10 list, but I'm not sure if I gave it a worthy enough spot. But there is A LOT going on in this one. The transitions are superb, the layers are thick, and Isobel's vocals are as lovely as ever. It's a very intricate album, and disappointingly unsung atm - I already like it almost as much as Lapsed.





Anybody else overly pleased with this release?

yes yes ! I'm very pleased of this last one... great, with wonderfull songs atmospheric or more noisy...
but, I prefer when the sound is more dirty, when the voice is more foggy like in the album "on the ellipse"... I see that it is not their most popular one, (it even seems to be the least !) but it's my favorite ! a song like "test" is so slow ans in the same time so powerfull...
That last bardo pond disc is one of my fav disc for the year 2010 !

mmmmmmmmm
Proof that Ticket Crystals was good

Personally I think they have just been getting better and better since Dilate, Ticket Crystals and On The Ellipse are amazing and I really, really, really like the new one. I honestly have a new appreciation for Cry Baby Cry after they covered it too..... I hope they do another rarities compilation soon too, or at least reissue Batholith and Peri at some point..... I was unable to score copies of those........
