Never managed to get into Fennez.

I may have listened to the wrong stuff though.

+ 47° 56' 37_ - 16° 51' 08_- is my personal fav

field recordings is maybe the most enjoyable and accesible

venice is very guitar music

endless summer is good for collectors

hotel paral.lel is his most underrated

Just about all of the Fennesz material is processed guitar, but I don't think of 'rock' when I hear him per se...

The last song on Venice, "The Stone of Impermanence" is heavy metal!

everyone who hasnt needs to hear edIT - crying over pros for no reason, it fits nicely in this vein.

If you like Four Tet check out Daedalus and Manitoba...although it's really not exactly what you are looking for.

Just to note, I had a chance to listen to the new Caribou (Manitoba) cd "The Milk Of Human Kindness" and all I could say afterwards was "Meh"

what about synth heavy groups like add n to (x) (i wonder how far away josh saw this one coming from

) or maybe trans am

as for fennez someone behind the 'brave new waves' radio show must have had a big thing for him or something because i'd have to listen to at least an hour of his stuff once or twice a week for the last few months of 2004. and like keef. i just don't get it. why he's called a great experimental guitarist is beyond me. it's like saying anyone who uses a drum machine is a great idm artist. it's not that his music is bad but his use of the guitar seems more like a novelty to me than anything else. then again i may have just not heard the right stuff

In Chicago, there is Spizm, Trioizm, Future Rock, trs-80, tortoise

Entire US:

This is a growing scene which I am very enthusiastic
about, considering I play live IDM/jungle on drumset
in chitown.
