Reasons people, can any of you read instructions? Gah!
Jimmy Chamberlains drumming on tracks like Geek USA is something to savour for a long time.
An album i would absolutely recommend, and which fits all your criteria, is Spiderland, by Slint (1991). I've never heard anything like this - it's lind of chilling in parts. A lot of it is quiet, with soft almost spoken, lyrics that tell stories that are weird in an undefinable way. Then there are the sudden interludes of raw, violent guitars and screamed vocals - these guys had the soft-loud dynamic thing going earlier than anyone except maybe for the Pixies, and they take it farther than that band. I think one of the band members turned up much later in Billy Corgan's Zwan. All the tracks are good, but my fave is 'Good Morning, Captain' - the emotional confrontation between the two characters at the end is chilling. Then there's 'Don, a man', 'Nosferatu man' and 'Breadcrumb trail'. It's an unsettling album - where it is calm, you know that the calm is the calm before a harrowing storm.
This album is an indie legend - you must own it!

I love to play them. Bijlsma specializes in ancient music and plays on a baroque cello. He is one of my favourite cellists. However, if you prefer a more romantic interpretation and a really classic recording, you might want to go for Pablo Casals, who was the first to rediscover this music.
yes of course
Originally posted by NordlysI have recently been getting into cello music quite a lot. I am planning to start a group next year with me on guitar and someone else on cello, maybe a third on vocals. I love the intensity and depth of noises (especially on an electric cello with potential effects etc,), can be anything from soft and comforting to unleashing all hell on top of you. I shall consider this suggestion a lot.

Originally posted by StarrmanCool. One of my cello students played in a band on an electric cello. I have never heard them, though. Hmmm, if you are interested in discovering the whole sound spectrum of the cello, something a bit more modern might be in place. Britten's cello suites come into my mind. And of course there's a whole lot of contemporary music, both for classical and electric cello.

Originally posted by NordlysFeel free to PM me some suggestons. I'm looking for a classic album here, but I may take up some of your info if I get a chance 🙂

Originally posted by NordlysI think Elgar's Cello Concerto is really amazing.

Bauhaus - Press the eject and give me the tape
Although it's a live album, I think the essence of Bauhaus is more clearly seen in a live performance. "Bela Lugosi is Dead" is a must to listen alone at night under candle light.
edit: If you don't want a live album, In the Flat Field would do the trick.
Buy Television's Marquee Moon (1977; re-issued 2003) because, quite simply, it's my favourite 70's rock album and it should be yours too. I'm no good at writing reviews or trying to express how some music makes me feel so I'll just cut-and-paste some reviews for you to consider. The album, to me, is great from start to finish with no weaknesses to be found anywhere. It's great at home, on the road, at a party, while bangin' your broad, etc.

Marquee Moon -- two thumbs up.
(Do you like Tom Verlaine's solo stuff, Darvlay?)
