Because of their relative obscurity, I have mentioned most of these in other, various threads. But, hey, I'll mention them again:
Curve - Why this band is not selling millions of albums boggles my mind. Layered guitar and synth stuff anchored by bass guitar. A large part of the draw is Toni Halliday's icy vocals, and fairly subtle hooks. All their albums are good.
At the Drive In's "relationship of command" - It will remind you of rage against the machine, but ATDI's album is actually good.
Type O Negative's "Bloody Kisses" - This album was pretty big for what it is. And what it is a very well done tounge-in-cheek, overt goth album, ending with the hit 'black no. 1', a ten minute song about a girl colouring her hair black. On the album is also a cover of Seals and Crofts 'Summer Breeze'.
Prick - Their (only) album is hard for me to describe. AMG describes some of the songs as industrial metal, but they are really not as hard as that implies. Maybe a more melodic, mellower Ministry. Maybe.
Headcase's 'Mushi Mushi' - Experimental album by the bassist for Curve, Dean Garcia. Makes for good late night background music.
Gregorio Paniagua's 'La Folia De La Spagna' (Harmonia Mundi) - I really don't know that the hell this thing is about. It and features sound from the guitar, flute, violin, a chainsaw and a jeep. Nice sound quality and a really bizarre and fun album. I actually first heard it at Albert Porter's, and I just had to get it. Hard to find on vinyl (but if i can get it anyone can), but easy to find on CD.
