Must be the new forum today, as I'm in an odd listening mood:

Rachel's & Matmos - "The Precise Temperature of Darkness"

Imagine if Sonic Youth got together with NIN to play chamber music, and you'd pretty much have what this collaboration is about.

...only to be followed by Mars Volta's "Bach Song"

EDIT: That's "The Mars Volta". Not to be confused with the more popular "Mars Volta".

How's that for confusing?

Mars volta is the shite!!! can you beleive they're from texas :shocked:
That Mars Volta? Yeah... strange things from Texas. There aren't many bands I like from there, despite Austin. And Mars Volta is definitely one of them.

Well, Mars Volta and maybe the Old 97s from time to time.

Unwound - "Demons Sing Love Songs"

I've always loved these guys ... the Kings of annoying screeches. But what was so great about their last album before they pretty much took a powder, Leaves Turn Inside You, was that they mixed their abrasiveness with a real demonstrated feel for intricate melody and even sweetness... such as on this song.

Whenever I listen to this album, I think, "Where the hell did that come from?" It's like discovering that Ricky Martin can play legitimate death metal that would please any leather-clad Nordic in white face paint.

Easily my fave album of 2001.
