If I like this, what else might I like? Ditto for Prefuse 73.

I am still waiting for 8 Million Stories to arrive. I am hoping for good things.
I think Scott Herren's stuff is faily unique (you picked up Outtakes too, right?). For my money, the nearest stuff I have to it is The Ends Against The Middle by APC. It's brutal, but it's got that glitchy cut up sound. Nearer to Vocal Studies than O.W.E. tho'. Also not instrumental, but utterly brutal, is Nephlim Modulation Systems - Woe To Thee O Land Whose King Is A Child. That one's vying for to spot on my EoY list. I think you'd like it. Check the review at Dot-Alt.

Scott Herren
I realized that I never bought Vocal Studies + Uprock Naratives. Shall I? What about Delarosa & Asora?
I have Arrhythmia, but will have to check out that other one and Nephlim etc etc.
Thanks.

I haven't picked up Delarosa... but the Savath and Savalas album is worth grabbing. However, my feeling is they are less special than the Prefuse stuff.
BTW, Arrhythmia is the weakest thing APC have released by some distance, IMO. Start with TEATM ep, then Tragic Epilogue, then the Matthew Shipp collab, then Shopping Carts Crashing.
Woe to thee should right up your street. My mate Yoshi said 'all music should sound like this' after hearing it.
