That Gorky's Zygotic Mynci sleeve is lovely. That is still just the most appalling name for a band though.

Bruce Haack!! This is no bullshit, my grand parents knew his family and used to see him preforming at the Ukranian Folk center in Edmonton. My dad did too, only he was too young to remember it.

Haack was a genius. 100 years ahead of his time.

I see alex and some people in that "ride from edmonton" thread are from Edmonton. You guys, ask your grandparents or parents if they knew him, I bet they will have stories.

Haack was a genius. 100 years ahead of his time. He really was. You ever hear that Todd Rundgren album "A Wizard/A True Star"? (this has a pretty crazy cover as well, cool shape to the vinyl sleeve too). When I first heard that I thought, "where did he get the idea for this? He's the first!". Then I heard Electric Lucifer.

Personally I like Electric Lucifer 2 even better. His vocoder stuff is mindblowing, plus it's got a distinct Residents/Tom Waits/Cookie Monster flavor that puts nice edge on the Powerlove philosophy.

Haven't heard that Rundgren album, but it's going on my list (it's an actual list, and I actually just wrote it in there).

Have you seen that "King of Techno" doc?
Also last post of this nature before I'm banned for going off topic, but Edmonton has played host to Bruce Haack, Brion Gysin, Marshall McLuhan, Tommy Chong, Leslie Nielsen and Bruce McColloch. These are all people who legitimately entertain/interest me regardless of my personal ties. This isn't even counting the likes of Shannon Tweed, David Foster and Robert Goulet. Not too shabby for a remote northern prison. (Nickleback is also somewhat from the area, but let's just keep that between you and I)

Yeah, the 'King of Techno' was really interesting. A lot of incredible archival footage on there. I've been meaning to watch it again. And since I'm thinking of it, this one's right at home in this thread (and is one of the the greatest "comedy" albums of all time):

Maybe it's a safe choice, but this is my all-time favorite album cover

There is some scary scary shit in this album. They may sound like country folk on the surface, but they are actually demons. Cough syrupped Demons. Really they make Lil' Wayne look like nothing more than a sick man ingesting needed medicine for a cold in the ol' Sizzurp Dept. Also what do we think of "Drag" you guys? Some pretty SCARY stuff! "WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS DRAG KIDS??"

As I am staring at this now I see no reason why it doesn't make the list. Beautiful!

Tell me that doesn't make you wanna hear that record. The same could be said for any album art by Jay Ryan, I suppose... ...but that I Am Kloot is pretty special, in my opinion.

I always thought I Am Kloot was the cutest band name ever for some reason.
