Great! I've been planning it a bit and was thinking about going from each project in the following order, from most popular to least known: Porcupine Tree -> Solo -> Storm Corrosion -> Blackfield -> No-Man -> Bass Communion/Continuum -> I.E.M. -> Altamont -> Karma. And maybe Pride of Passion if I can find a rip or something, shit's so obscure
.
I'd review every official release under each project and classifying every entry in one of three categories:
Essential,
Optional,
Obsessive.
Essential is just main albums, not counting live ones nor EPs nor anything else, perfect for the newcomers.
Optional includes most EPs, live records, and even a compilation or two of discarded material/outtakes.
Obsessive would focus on obscure releases, such as Japan-only tracks, rare singles, demos, collaboration and production work with other artists, etc.
This would enable me to chronologically go through all releases and tie up all the writeups better.
Essential releases would be posted one per week to let people have time to digest them, as usual, and was thinking of assigning less time for the other categories, like 5 days for
Optional and only 3 for
Obsessive, as those will include shorter writeups and would likely incite less debate than the rest. I will provide streaming and purchase links for each release when available. I would also consider hosting a listening session on plug.dj each week.
This project will take a long time but I hope it will help folks get into some of his wonderful work. Any feedback and suggestions are welcome
