HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

I've listened to a few of their tracks. Pretty interesting. Reminds me of Earth.
I'm digging on Riff Fist right now.

Yeah kind of weird but somehow quite a draw to them that I can't explain!
On a very unrelated note (haha) I am currently massively digging "The Epic" by Kamasi Washington. Superb stuff. Kind of like a modern Ornette Coleman or Charles Mingus...

Since I was a contributor to the PledgeMusic drive, I got access to the entire new VERUCA SALT album GHOST NOTES a day early.
Without sounding crazy or overzealous or a superfan (all of which I realize I am)...I NEEDED this album in my life. It's fucking incredible. The best thing they've ever done.
Other 90's bands have either tried to stay in the past (no change in sound) or jump all into the now (full changed sound) for the most part and it hasn't worked. But what VS have done is perfectly ride the line between nostalgia 90's alt-rock and current music trends and delivered probably the finest rock record of 2015.

Speaking of 90s bands reuniting, Failure's new album is awesome. A lot of what you said applies to them in terms of sounding like a continuation-but-progression from where they left off, rather than a mere nostalgia trip or a random leap into stupider waters.

Worry, can I use that line as my next album title? "Random Leap into Stupider Waters"
Maybe I can get you some residuals on that - but you have to agree to be my publicist

Because who doesn't like enraged Japanese techno-trance-metal. It's like if the Mad Capsule Markets were high on metalcore.

Okay, I'll post five(hopefully) hip hop songs for Terez that I think are "musically interesting". They aren't a history of hip hop or anything so grand. They're maybe a level or two above off the top of my head, and limited to my own knowledge and tastes, but I'll try to make them diverse so hope that suffices.
First couple:
Aesop Rock, probably the most hyperliterate rapper of the era, and a song with a dynamic instrumental that counterpoints (but keeps up with) his verbosity.
Blackalicious w/ a dynamic exercise in rapper/producer gamesmanship:

I like rap weirdos, and one of my perennial favorites is Open Mike Eagle (who I've posted before). This song has an odd, hazy, scattered beat which compliments its subject matter, mental illness.
This song is sexually explicit, so I warn you, but it's also from a rap "weirdo" in that Cakes Da Killa is an openly gay black man in the genre (this particular sub-population is growing though). The beat isn't out of this world bonkers or anything, and I don't usually like ready-for-the-club-type music, but it is dynamic, playful, and it interacts with Cakes as he twists and turns his flow. I wouldn't call it minimal even in the specific way you meant it.
I don't necessarily think you'll like either one of these (well, who knows?), but they do show a decent diversity of sounds and styles just between them.

Okay, #5. Had a few thoughts, from abrasive broken machine dystopian stuff of El-P's early solo stuff to the many layered, playfully complex sci-fi extravaganza of Deltron, but I landed on something simpler: Earl Sweartshirt & Frank Ocean's "Sunday". It might still be minimal in its way, but not in the sense of persistent musical repetition. It's drum-focused without relying on a drum loop, and other instrumental elements come and go organically. It's cohesive without being beholden to one particular flow. And its subject matter is fairly mundane: life and love butting up against each other.

This is the band that opened for VERUCA SALT, and they kicked absolute ass. Met the lead singer (Eva, the blonde in the video) and told her how amazing I thought the band is and she was super gracious about it. Anyways, give a listen. Crunching guitars, and some other grunge-influences, with pop vocals.

You probably won't know the lyrics but this is a great piece even without.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

This is an all time great song, but the clip just makes me chuckle ...

I'm going to give Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp A Butterfly" a go. Kamasi Washington worked on it and I am a big fan of his, and also I have heard a lot of good things about Kendrick Lamar anyway. Not my usual type of music but I am aiming to broaden my horizons slightly.
