MY 8bit music is Stray Square
. Not that you care.

Is that emotional blackmail?

[MellySingsDoom]

Not 100% Australian per se (thanks to the membership of Sir Epic Soundtracks), but I'd include Crime and The City Solution's "Just South of Heaven" mini-LP as being up there with the best Aussie music. On a more "industrial" tip, SPK's "Leichenschrei" still holds up pretty well to my ears.

are you sure about that?

I know that B Russelll worked for Flying Nun...ah, wasn't it Robbie Yeats of the Dead C who is an ex-Verlaine? I think Mr Russell was in Wrecks Small Speakers On Expensive Stereos at that point.

Didn't Mr Anal pointed out a while ago to me that it wasn't the case? Uh?

Ed Kuepper - Electrical Storm, Everybody's Got To, Today Wonder, Honey Steel's Gold
The Aints - Ascension
The Saints - Eternally Yours, Prehistoric Sounds
Laughing Clowns - Law of Nature, Ghosts of an Ideal Wife

I prefer his music to The Saints. There's nothing wrong with his voice, get The Butterfly Net, it's probably my favourite ever Australian album (even though it's a compilation).

[Death & the Maiden]

There's more of these coming,
The Go-Betweens - 16 Lover's Lane
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads
Hunters and Collectors - Human Frailty
Powderfinger - Odyssey Number Five

I'm disappointed that Ed Kuepper, the Laughing Clowns, The Birthday Party, These Immortal Souls, The Scientists and The Aints have been left out. Hope there's a third season.

I've been hanging out for this for awhile. should be great. especially the Go-Betweens and of course NC& the Bad Seeds.

Let's be honest.

Nick Cave is the only decent thing to come out of Australia. And he's an honorary Brit.

16 Lovers Lane is a gorgeous album. GORGEOUS I SAY!

[MellySingsDoom]

^^^Too damn right there.

[atari 2600]

The Swing beats anything in the thread, including Junkyard.

[Death & the Maiden]

Is that the album by INXS?
