Maybe there's a small, quiet refrigerator that would work. Fridges tend to be noisy, but if you could find a mini fridge that's quiet it would probably isolate sound really well, and of course it would keep the 'puter cool. Might run you some bucks though. And if there's some extra room, you could k...

I'm just curious...
If it does show up eventually (was held up in customs or was lost, then found, etc.) what will you do?

MUSIC HAS NO GRID. This is an interesting point. According to some Marxist theorists, the strict meter of Western music is the result of the imposition of clock time on workers beginning in the Industrial revolution and intensifying through the 20th century, and played a major role in the commodifi...

Oh, hell yes! Thanks.

I agree. And due to the lack of variable D vents, I'd say it's an omni. Something like the 654A:

I'll check that out. I like The Next Day but haven't listened to it much. I haven't heard Reality yet. Bowie never stopped innovating.

John Paul Jones' the Thunderthief (2004) is worth checking out too... another guy of about the same age who never stopped innovating.

The songs I listened to earlier are Satellites and Water Slides. I'm up to #3 in the album you just linked to. It's interesting and I like it, it just doesn't seem to have much in common with the progressive rock I'm familiar with (70s). I guess it has more in common with current groups under that h...

Listened to a few by Mew... to my ears it's nice pop-rock... I'm not sure I hear anything I'd call crazy and/or progressive in it. I'm guessing it's in the harmony and the song structures? I think I hear some Genesis in there, not King Crimson or Yes. It has some of the softer side of progressive, w...

Thanks, I'll check them out. I should give Sigur Ros a close listen too... they've been on my radar for a long time but I don't really know their work. I'm trying to go back to how I listened to things as a kid... with a more open mind, letting things grow on me that I might not like that much at fi...

Machines (2009) by French band Yang should be a contender, too. It's something like if King Crimson played black metal.

I'm digging this. I'll have to give this one a close listen. Thanks.

This is nice, thanks. Not really my thing, but it's very good.

Don't take "redefine" quite so literally. I mean records that changed the landscape, that set a new standard or a new direction. The cliche examples from the old century are Sgt. Pepper's and Dark Side of the Moon. Others (arguably) might be King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King (1969), Bl...

Godspeed You Black Emperor's "Allelujah Don't Bend, Ascend" (2012) is really good too.

Blut Aus Nord's MORT is supposed to be more experimental than the one of theirs I mentioned above, and some people call it their masterpiece... I haven't heard it yet, but it sounds like it could be a contender.

I've been listening to a ton of music lately that's new to me... only a handful have been from this century, but so far the one I like best that was made since 2000 is Blut Aus Nord's "The Work that Transforms God" (2003). I don't know if it's foundational or a masterpiece, but it's really good. I'm...
