lots of realeses, though nothing i am very familiar with, surprised to see the church still going at it..

I know of Current 93, so I'd be interested in seeing what that sounds like. But these lists make me feel very old and out of touch suddenly because I haven't heard of a single one of those artists outside of 93.

like i said before, a lot of this stuff is off of small independent labels, its not a sign of age.

I could never really get into current 93

Khanate and Sun 0))) releases? Good stuff.

i think being on hydra head almost automatically makes you badass.
