Any recommendations?
Luke trying not to list all 21 albums you haven't heard
I mean yea, my recommendation is to listen to every album, but we’ll get you there.
Omnium Gatherum was the album that really won me over as a fan, and it’s a great starting place as it covers many styles of Gizz. I guess the first question is, which are your favourite songs off OG?
My ‘go to’ albums to recommend for beginners are the following, in this order…
I’m In Your Mind Fuzz
Nonagon Infinity
Polygonwanaland
Murder of the Universe
Paper Mache Dream Balloon
Butterfly 3000
Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava
This covers pretty much covers everything (style wise), before you delve even deeper into the rest of the albums. The only style not covered on the below albums is the microtonal stuff, but I’m not the biggest fan of that personally, but if you are definitely also try Flying Microtonal Banana!
After listening to the first four albums on this list, I’d also suggest watching these videos (at least the first three on the playlist) on the Gizzverse…
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLluo87o05TIGLPcsQ6ZZj-AZtSqEeHY0nThey explain how all these albums are tied together, greater connections to other albums and theories on how the Gizzverse ties together all the albums (pretty much).
Hell, I want to host a listening party now just to listen to all these with you now!
Oh, lastly I created a playlist, emphasising flow, that covers many many of their best songs…
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1FMmAVVl3bc58AVsrFksFj?si=U0dPMqFQS26kg2eEPk_OTAIt’s currently 8 hours long, so give that a go as well.
