I think they're amazing.

Some of my favorite music ever. I must have over 30 albums of theirs.

Some faves in no particular order:
Alice The Goon
Drunk With The Old Man Of The Mountains
Cooloorta Moon
Spiral Insana
Sylvie and Babs
An Awkward Pause
The Sadness Of Things by Stapleton/Tibet
Masstishaddhu (another offshoot)
To The Quiet Men From A Tiny Girl

They have been an obsession of mine for nearly 20 years, and continue to be vital and interesting to this day. Stapleton is a great visual artist as well!

[SubSonicPumpAction]

Yeah. This girl burned me one of their cd's and it's so good but I have no idea what it's called and they have over 30 cd's but it's great. I like it a lot. Almost as much as I like yr icon. But yeah they're brilliant. Do they play live or are they purely a studio band.

thanks

They have played live on a very rare handful of occasions (almost never really), but for the most part NWW is a studio effort. Obviously the studio is an instrument in their case; I have no idea what they would do for a live show.

[Glice]

I would like to concur with both parties thus far on this thread - NWW are a great band.

SavageC, do you have the original version of Salt? That is, a 2-CD thing with a C93 track Alpha ( I think), rather than the alternate version (Salt Marie Celeste with all the bird sounds and creaking). I picked it up ages ago, and I think I may have got quite a rarity, as no one seems to believe it exists.

I can't add to Savage Clone's list as I probably don't have as many albums.

I would recommend listening to Current 93 if you like NWW, as the two bands have played on each others records, on and off, for 25 years or so now.

[Savage Clone]

I don't have that, but I can get it for you easily.
Current 93 are a HUGE favorite for me; I love their early scary soundscapes and their great apocalyptic folk LPs like Thunder Perfect Mind (NWW did their own Thunder Perfect Mind to complement it, which is also great), Earth Covers Earth and Swastikas For Noddy.
Early scary LPs by C93 that I recommend are Dogs Blood Rising and Nature Unveiled. You will not sleep well for weeks!

[trance feeeedback]

check out the NWW & Stereolab collaborations, crumb duck and Simple Headphone Mind. It's really great stuff, Simple headphone mind is some really trippy stuff!

[Savage Clone]

Simple Headphone Mind is seriously groovy.
Naturally, it sounds exactly like Neu, but very cool nonetheless.
A big favorite here, and I love the Mylar sleeve!

Also Faust from 2000 is pretty scary.

My favourites from NWW:
A Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An Umbrella
Merzbild Schwet
Homotopy To Marie
Soliloquy For Lilith
A Sucked Orange
Revenge Of The Selfish Shellfish
Funeral Music For Perez Prado

As is "I Have A Special Plan For This World." Damn, that one creeped me out hard.

[Glice]

Apparently, Stapleton has been making an album with female hip-hop vocalists. I'm positively melting with anticipation of that. Just imagine what he'd do to Missy...

[Savage Clone]

I am scared of that, but I'll give it a listen.

[umjammer atomsk]

Wounded Nurse sounds neat, I'll check em out. Thanks.

[Savage Clone]

Forgot another great one!
"Who Can I Turn To Stereo?"

[Glice]

Savage Clone, you ever been to Exotica in London? They've got loads and loads of that kind of stuff, they've had an original copy of 'chance meeting...' and Whitehouse's 'birthdeath experience' and oodles of other original pressings of that post TG type stuff.

NWW are a funny one, all the people I know that like him/ them are more into literature than they are heavily into alternative music (if that phrase means anything any more). Most record collecting types, with a few exceptions, don't know them at all.

Yeah i read this on The Wire a while ago.I'd love to listen to that.I have pratically grown up listening to NWW and Current 93.Does anyone like Death in June?

[Glice]

Gah. DIJ are awful. Give me Coil any day.

Yes Coil are better,but Death in June had some good tunes too:
''Fall apart'' for example is a beautiful song. Has anyone ever read ''England's Hidden Reverse'' the book that the great David Keenan wrote about all these bands?
