...that isn't PSYCHIC HEARTS or TREES OUTSIDE THE ACADEMY? Just curious. Discuss.

Mine is HURRICANE FLOYD followed by FUCK SHIT UP.

[jennthebenn]

Fuck Shit Up is godly. Even the audience yelling at the start is Christ-like. "Skip Tracer!"

[Jef Mertens]

1. Piece For Jetsun Dolma
2. Klangfarbenmelodie... and the colorist strikes primitiv
3. Not me

[nicfit]

Pillow Wand, if that counts.

[noisereductions]

Jetsun Dolma is very good.

And Yes! Pillow Wand counts. Excellent. Did you ever hear LIVE AT EAST HAMPTON TOWN HALL? (it's Zeena Parkins, Nels Cline & Thurston) Oh baby.

[uhler]

the only song i like of his is his cover of "sheena is a punk rocker" featured in the one and only gossip girl.

XOXO

b-b-b-b-but this HAS to be a troll attempt!

[uhler]

 

those are the only trolls i know of.

[canabero]

mmm, i think my favourite is Trees outside the academy.

[atsonicpark]

"...that isn't PSYCHIC HEARTS or TREES OUTSIDE THE ACADEMY? Just curious. Discuss."


...

Those wouldn't be my favorites anyway. It'd have to be sensitive/lethal!

[SonicBebs]

I've never heard his solo stuff. I have Lee's Amarillo Ramp which is one of my favourite pieces of music ever. But i thought Thurstons was all poppy (nothing wrong with poppy, but..)

where should i go? Fuck Shit Up sounds interesting

[noisereductions]

I didn't say Thurston solo album. I said "Thurston album" denoting his work outside of SY really. If you look on the cover of HURRICANE FLOYD. Thurston's name is right there.

MOST of his freejazz/improv/noise albums will have 2 or 3 other people on them.

And yes, I love how "Alter Boy, Church Basement" turned into other songs later. Like I said HURRICANE is my favorite.

[nicfit]

I really like Lost TO The City, too.

[noisereductions]

I dnt have that one, nic. Is that with Hooker & Shoup?

nope! Moore-Winant-Surgal !

Fun fact: I actually got lost in my city while listening to it in my headphones. Took me 1 hour to figure out where the hell I parked my bike.

[noisereductions]

dude, right before I checked yr post I thought "wait! Surgal played on that one!" that's right. I need to check that one. The Thurston/Beck/Surgal album is great.

[scott v]

Dream Aktion Unit - Blood Shadow Rampage

followed by the Winant/Surgal/Moore discs... I like those because they are to me reminiscent of those great energetic Cecil Taylor Unit free improv storms.

agreed. I've said before, I have little interest in Thurston's "noise" albums (BLINDFOLD for instance), but his freejazz performance amaze me for the most part. I remember there was a bootleg of a gig that Thurston and Cecil Taylor both played. I dont think together. I think T opened for Taylor. Or something like that. Could've been an awesome album.

[mil_pl]

hmm I like:
-pillow wand,
-piece for jetsun dolma,
-the promise,
-root,
-three incredible ideas.

(no order)

and yeah the one with beck and surgal is good too.

[toxic johnny]

I would have to say...
Klangfarbenmelodie... And The Colorist Strikes Primitive
The Promise w/Evan Parker/Walter Prati
'Jong' his 7" split w/John Weise
Kapotte Musiek

Not quite with his name as the main draw but everything so far by Northampton Wools and Mirror/Dash
