Well, my local JB doesn't have much black metal (at least not the infamous ones), but ones in Liverpool, Penrith and Sydney are alright with it. I bought a Burzum album in Penrith. As a murderer, supposed Nazi, supposed Satanist, and a church arsonist I was surprised they had it.

To be honest I never bothered looking, I just assumed that they wouldn't stock it.

This is probably a case of the English language mutating differently in different colonies. When you say "through" in this context in America, it means up to and including the point you mention.

So, for me Orbus Terrarum was the last great Orb album. Orblivion was just o.k., and after that I haven't been able to generate any interest at all, and the few tracks I've sampled were completely unfortunate.

A shame such a revolutionary group became so boring, but I guess that's nothing new.

[quote=Dead-Air Also going to stay away from pioneers before Kraftwerk for the same reasons, otherwise it would be all Delia Derbyshire and Xenakis[/quote]

Whatever, that's not really true.

while i agree with a lot of what's being said here, what about minotaur shock? maritime is off the meters...

I can't believe there's no love for Xploding Plastix in this thread!
