List of essential E6 related albums?

[omnibus]

The creation of a list would be quite helpful, especially for semi-newbies such as myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

www.elephant6.com/bands.html They have a list of all the proper E6 bands, and bands associated with E6.

As a non-completist, I would say:

Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane Over the Sea and On Avery Island
Olivia Tremor Control - Singles
Beulah - Coast is Never Clear

are the first four you should start with.

[thugginit]

of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic, The Sunlandic Twins

[canyr]

I remember El Topo was about to make it (e6 essentials) a feature on Optical Atlas. I believe it never happened though. Or have I missed something? Jeff?

Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane Over the Sea and On Avery Island
Olivia Tremor Control - Singles
Beulah - Coast is Never Clear

are the first four you should start with.

I'll add to that w/
Olivia Tremor Control - Dusk At Cubist Castle
The Apples In Stereo - The Discovery Of A World Inside The Moone

you give bad advice.

[Aqualad]

agreed

[funeralpudding]

Perhaps:

Olivia Tremor Control "Black Foliage"
of Montreal "The Gay Parade"
Nuetral Milk Hotel "Aeroplane Over The Sea"
Apples In Stereo "Discovery Of A World Inside The Moone" or "Fun Trick Noisemaker"

[VenusInFurs341]

Perhaps:

Olivia Tremor Control "Black Foliage"
of Montreal "The Gay Parade"
Nuetral Milk Hotel "Aeroplane Over The Sea"
Apples In Stereo "Discovery Of A World Inside The Moone" or "Fun Trick Noisemaker"

Am I the only person who can't stand black foliage? Its such a failure. However dusk at cubist castle is amazing.

[funeralpudding]

Am I the only person who can't stand black foliage?

Yes.
.

[cirrocumulus]

Actually, no. Between the two I agree that Dusk At Cubist Castle is by far the one I like more. I was totally expecting to like Black Foliage because everyone said it was so much better than Dusk, but... no. Not for me, anyway.

You're the only nitwit too shallow to appreciate the depth and wizardry that Black foliage is built on. Fuck E6...it's the greatest album of our time.

[mikehattem]

I would say:

Dusk At Cubist Castle - OTC
Tone Soul Evolution/Discovery Of A World - AIS
Cherry Peel - OM
ITAOTS - NMH

That list is obvious though I would think. I like Black Foliage but I think DACC is a better introduction to OTC. Also I know alot of people like Gay Parade better than Cherry Peel but again I feel its a better intro to early Of Montreal.

[hockywierdo]

NMH- ITAOTS
OTC- Dusk
OM- Gay Parade
AIS- Fun Trick and Her Wallpapaer Reverie
Beulah- Heartstrings

[horseface]

NMH- ITAOTS
OTC- Dusk
OM- Gay Parade
AIS- Fun Trick and Her Wallpapaer Reverie
Beulah- Heartstrings


spot on...kind of the standards.

also the minders - hooray for tuesday or golden street. and elf power - when the red king comes. essex green - everything is green and ladybug transistor - albermarle sound are less appreciated but very good as well.

[pinocchio]

apples in stereo - tone soul evolution
of montreal - early 4 track recordings, aldhil's arboretum, satanic panic in the attic
olivia tremor control - black foliage
circulatory system
elf power - when the red king comes

[pinocchio]

oh and i forgot in the aeroplane

[pinocchio]

You're the only nitwit too shallow to appreciate the depth and wizardry that Black foliage is built on. Fuck E6...it's the greatest album of our time.


it is definitely one of the top 10 albums of our time. it is better than dusk. i think satanic panic is one of the greatest albums of our time also.
