This makes perfect sense in light of the specific creative commons licence they're using at the moment, but I hadn't realised: Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts, all four volumes so far, are up on the Internet Archives, as is The Slip.

Quite accidentally, I found Einstürzende Neubauten's new release, The Jewels, yesterday while window-shopping (I also got a bunch of Arvo Pärt because I love the composer to death from what I've heard, and I need to hear much, much more). I had no idea they were releasing new material, let alone so soon after their last album Alles wieder offen, but it was a welcome surprise, especially considering it's a collection of their short experiments previously only available on a monthly basis to members of their online supporters project. I missed out on my chance to join that when it closed off, and couldn't find these jewels on P2P. It's a welcome addition to their catalogue, by the by, and demonstrates a lot of resourcefulness on their part, after being criticised for becoming too familiar and ego-centric. Worth getting if you were let down by their most recent albums, I'd say.

Now I just hope they start releasing their Musterhaus projects too.

NIN have released over 400 gigs' worth of live footage of their Lights in the Sky tour.

I mean, yeah, that much raw footage is useless to me, but that's still exciting and there's always this: http://thisoneisonus.org/

Swans.

Yes, I know they don't count.

Dracko · a sapphist fool Joined: 06 Dec 2006

I just didn't picture Swans as drone, really...

I have loved what little I've heard of Nadja. It is evocative in a way matched only by classical dirges, yet more uplifting. All I own of theirs is the Tremble re-issue. Where else should I start? What about The Angelic Process, then?

I'm not familiar at all with True Sounds of Liberty, but their latest release is a free download, so I'm going to check it out.

There's also a post-rock band called Our Ceasing Voice who have a free EP as well.

...And so it was. Through the collective imagination of the people, the force of will and human potential, and an unflinching ability to hold himself to task, Niggy Tardust was liberated. His ability to see beyond the boundaries and obstacles of 'genre', 'race', and suppression, allowed him to encompass a grace and sound that embodied the all. All that had stood against him, now stood with him. All that had claimed a lesser harmony, now craved voice and resonance. He stood with poets, painters, dancers, students, children of the night who had transformed themselves into a million bright ambassadors of morning, and proclaimed,

“We declare declaratives and deny the official. Based in the landmark of the G-spot, we have overtaken ourselves and overthrown our forefathers. Let there be light within the light and let it answer to the name of Darkness. We are forever risen from the deadly: the anti-virus and the All Stars. Granted power by forces unbeknownst to us. Made in the likeness of kindness. We offer anger to the angry and fear to the fearful. We dance at our own funerals to forsake the mourners…

…This is no time to cry! This is no time at all! Here is the moment of the overlooked and the unforeseeable. We are the elected officials of the people: poets and artists. We are the declarative statement of the inarticulate, the irreparably damaged goods of the bad meaning good. We are the government! We are the government! We are the government!”

NGH WHT

Oh, and: Have a Nice Life

Have you heard any Belong?

As I understand it, Eustis and Cooper helped the members of Belong with mastering their output.

They have two free albums out. Much shorter and less noisy.

DID YOU KNOW that Aidan Baker has some of his material up on the Internet Archives?

I'd suggest Peau Sensible and Within the Final Circle, personally.

And there's a free Nadja single, Base Fluid.

And check out S&M Combo, a noise duo using nothing but a synthesiser and a cello.
