Skinny Puppy - VIVIsectIV (1988)
VIVIsectVI (pronounced "Vivisect Six") is the fourth album by Skinny Puppy. The title of the album is a pun associating vivisectionwith satanism.
This is the only Skinny Puppy album on which Dave Ogilvie (credited as "Rave") is given songwriting credit and listed as an official member of the band. This was also the only album (until 2004's The Greater Wrong of the Right) to feature a photo of the band. Dave Ogilvie is not included in the photo. The cover artwork was done by Steven R. Gilmore, a longtime collaborator with the band; the photo was taken by Kevin Westenberg.[3][4]

Autechre - Exai
Exai is the eleventh album by electronic music duo Autechre, released on Warp Records. The album was released in digital form on 7 February 2013,[1] with the double CD and quadruple vinyl versions released on 5 March.[2] Like other Autechre albums, Exai features album artwork by The Designers Republic.
Exai has received positive reviews, with a Metacritic average rating of 80% based on twenty-three reviews.[3] Grayson Currin of Pitchfork Media thought the album had some good moments, but was too long at two hours, and would have been improved by more editing and trimming.[6] Chris Power of BBC Music was more enthusiastic, calling the album Autechre's best in fifteen years.[5]

Skinny Puppy - Back & Forth EP - 1984
Back & Forth is the self-published debut EP by Skinny Puppy, released in 1984. It was supposed to be a limited edition of 50 copies but only 35 were actually made.[1] The first 15 copies were dubbed at a normal speed, while the remaining 20 were dubbed at a high speed, making them slightly inferior to the first 15.[2] This album was remastered and rereleased in 1992 as Back and Forth Series 2, with additional tracks.[3]
The album's front and back covers are illustrations of aliens from the book UFOs Past, Present, and Future[3] by Robert Emenegger. The inner sleeve includes a detail of George Tooker's 1950 painting Subway.[3][4]

Malory - Not Here, Not Now
A friend of mine turned me on to this release. For fans of classic shoegaze, here's a band that seems to do Slowdive even better than Slowdive does. Eery textures, floaty guitar riffs over mellow drum-machine sequences, male and female vocals, lots of ethereals oooohs and aaaahs. The album flows really well as a continuous suite and builds up to an almost post-rock-esque climax.

Black Swan Collective - The Late Music Vol. 1
Here's another rare piece from the Elephant Six Collective. Formed as an Olivia Tremor Control side-project, Black Swan Network seemed to have a revolving door of participants including members of Neutral Milk Hotel, The Circulatory System, Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't, Sunshine Fix, and Frosted Ambassador .
This 1997 release is an hour of ambient, industrial, and musique concrete noise apparently inspired by dream landscapes supplied by fans.

Neutral Milk Hotel - Invent Yourself A Shortcake (1991)
Neutral Milk Hotel - Invent Yourself A Shortcake (1991, self-released cassette)
Before releasing the indie classic On Avery Island, there were a handful of self-released cassettes accredited to Neutral Milk Hotel. Most of the material was thrown together by singer/guitarist Jeff Mangum and exclusively distributed to other members of the experimental Elephant Six collective. One of the earliest is a piece from 1991 called Invent Yourself a Shortcake.
At this point, the Neutral Milk sound is radically different from what the band would come to be known for. There's a lot of sound collage / musique concrete to be found here with song titles like "Random Noise," "More Noise" and "Spooky Sounds." There are a few songs with no musical elements at all such as "Prank Call" and "Digestion Machine," and there are even a few pieces like "Charlotte" that are pure noise rock. However, there's still a bit of folky indie rock to be found, with pop songs like "My Dreamgirl Don't Exist," and "Synthetic Flying Machine" which eventually made it's way onto In The Aeroplane over the Sea.
While obviously not on par with their later, more official releases, this is a recommended listen for anyone into early 90's indie.
