Re: Most Underrated Bands
king crimson, and more specifically robert fripp. his music was always praised, but his producing and recording skills were far advanced for the time. combining an surreal qualities and simplicity he crafted songs for 3-4 peter gabriel albums, daryl halls first solo album, contributed to bowies berlin era album heroes, revolutionized the tape recorder with brian eno.

blah blah blah, just check out his discography: http://www.elephant-talk.com/discog/fripp/

i gurantee you'll find quite a few good albums in that discog there.

I can't pick a favourite album, too much choice and there are a couple that I haven't heard yet.

Re: Most Underrated Bands
first heard Norken with one of these releases. can't recall which was first but i got them around the same time.

http://www.discogs.com/release/93719
http://www.discogs.com/release/43819

this is my fav. Norken album, naturally: http://www.discogs.com/release/53506

the sleeve is gorgeous, the first full length i heard in this style and still sounds as good as it did then.

Our Memories of Winter has been on my mp3 player for about 4 months now, pretty much the only thing that hasn't been removed in that long.

for Metamatics, http://www.discogs.com/release/5325 that album is incredible. the packaging is super deluxe too (edit: i was wrong, was thinking of the packaging for the Clatterbox album on Clear http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=5317). suppose it's a bit too big and fragile but that always made me care for it like it was my precious.

I have the hydrogen release of that which I love, Our Memories Of Winter is one of the albums I am short and I wouldn't mind getting the Clear release of that.

Re: Most Underrated Bands
as i mentioned in the original thread before it went missing, the longcut are one of the best live bands i've seen and massively underrated. they just need to find a producer who can harness their visceral live energy & sound

i'd also say black rebel motorcycle club, they've produced 4 very good albums and are another excellent live band

dj's- i'd say christian smith. one of best techno djs i've seen who always rocked the clubs when i caught him spin; but never got much press
