As a point of discussion, for me the genesis of post-1977 lo-fi means the Fall, like the first half of "Spectre vs Rector", "WMC Blob 59" (very Dead-C like) and the "Totale's Turns" version of "New Puritan". Before them, I would say that some stuff on the first Amon Duul I LP, "Psychadelic Underground", is equally as influential...as well as some very early Throbbing Gristle stuff. But for me, the killer real lo-fi stuff is very early blues recordings - technically "wrong" recordings, but with so much power.

The first 7" went through several pressings. It was made in an initial pressing of 300 which sold slowly at first, but by now, I think I heard something about 2500 of those being sold between the original Savage Quality self-release and the Criminal IQ broke-dick-swastika reissue. I think the one on Trickknee went through a couple pressings really fast. A lotta people claim it as their fave. Trickknee releases don't come out very often, so I wouldn't wait for a reissue.

There's been a 2xLP planned for a Siltbreeze release since last year. Not sure of the schedule on that. Or any foreign tour plans. I know he'll be coming westward here in the States with Rot Shit pretty soon, though. Still mapping the itinerary, but I'm hoping to get my local date soon.

The whole lo-fi thing is getting a lot of play here in Columbus right now. TNV, Psychedelic Horseshit, etc...From back in the day, you've also got The Bassholes, Swearing at Motorists, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, Great Plains, etc...

Early Guided By Voices was pretty lo-fi, and pretty awesome.

i can think of so many great bands that if they were stripped of thier sirty as fuck lo fi productiion, would lose all thier charm and excitement. pussy galore, the screamers, half japanese, royal trux, to live and shave in la, thee headcoats, the gories, darkthrone, so many more but im high so icant think of em. the newish great bands live skull, pink reasons, the hospitals, pengo, psychedelic horseshit, blah blah etc.. all those bands' music was great because of the rawness, and the bands mentioned above that lost that lo fi production value made increasingly bad music. and also theres the downside for all those great bands theres the legion of imitators that pass off lack of talent for "lo fi dirty rawness" fuck em.

Man, I thought this was going to be about bands that refuse to record or something. Live only acts. Are there such things? I remember an old band of mine had the philosophy, mostly out of laziness and poverty.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a local label and promotion company here in Newcastle, England. I was like "Damn. I love 'em, but this is a mighty big thread". I guess the reality makes much more sense.

I'm going to throw Factums on the recommendation pile. Their Alien Native LP is goooooooooooood, and the fidelity is totally messed up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WgyxaV3AW0

People go on about the low quality production of bands like Darkthrone and other black metal bands, but the worst I've heard is Fimbulwinter. The vocals are almost inaudible, the bass is almost inaudible (not unusual for bm bands though), and at times the guitar can be just a constant noise. Despit this, it's still my favourite black metal album.

'transylvanian hunger' has a very stripped back sounding production, as i feel all black metal should. mayhem, beherit, burzum, gorgoroth, and others back in the day, all raw souding, all awesome. how black metal should be, not like the over-produced cornball fest that would become popular in the mid 90s with cradle of filth and dimmu borgir. even these days i think the best black metal is the under produced kind, like striborg for instant.

Early-Mid 90's Guided by Voices is the lowest-fi music I am yet to hear.

although i would never categorize them as no fi or whatnot, sun city girls have some of the lowest fi recording i have heard.
a lot of box of chameleons and especially valentines for matahari, which is probably the worst recording to be put to tape. but it still has a few gems on it
