Hiroshi Yoshimura's Green (1986)

Intuition and experimentation are still important

this one features no guitar

incorporating influences from raw punk and hardcore to deconstruct death metal and reduce it to a mangled and scattered pulp reeking of terror and shrouded in destruction

Skip Spence was sometimes thought of as the least technically proficient of Moby Grape's three guitarist/vocalists - but he always made up for it with unmatched manic energy and that unquantifiable magic in his songwriting that few career songwriters manage to conjure

FALL, THE - The Unutterable 2LP jangle Hiroshi Yoshimura's Green (1986)Highly recommended. The Fall's "The Unutterable" is their 21st LP (wow). It marks their peak foray into electronica. DIY work ethic on show as always. Blurry landscapes of electronic sounds congeal to The Fall's signature stripped down guitars to great effect. The simple instrumentation leaves space to be filled by Smith's caustic vocal standout. Any good Fall LP is, of course, not without Mark's lyrical abtrusiety in abundance. A pseudo story ramble
