Phill Niblock - G2, 44 +/X2

Phill Niblock is known for his use of looooooooooooooong tones. I've heard a couple of his pieces that are just an instrument playing a single note for 30+ minutes until it detunes itself. Not interesting, really. This guitar-drone piece kinda plays off the same theme, but I really like it. The disc contains two different interpretations of the same 30-minute work. One by Rafael Toral and one "massed" version featuring Alan Licht, Kevin Drumm, Lee Ranaldo, and Thurston Moore that evolves slowly, almost imperceptibly, but above all satisfyingly. It took me forever to dig this one up, so I'll spare you the trouble.

Albert Ayler - The Hilversum Session

I spent a lot of time not getting Ayler, but I'm starting to come around. I encountered a lot of the later material first but I'm realizing that the early stuff smokes. This is one such example. A live Dutch radio set from 1964 with a lot of immensely powerful and aggressive playing, but which remains extremely expressive. Don Cherry on cornet, Gary Peacock on bass and the great Sunny Murray destroying the drums.

Cruciamentum - Convocation of Crawling Chaos

MASSIVE demo from this UK Death Metal horde. They do a great job at balancing the rawness of an older DM band with the clarity and precision of more modern DM. Indeed, the recording is far beyond demo quality. The material on here is totally crushing too, especially the minute-long breakdown in "Rotten Flesh Crucifix" that makes me want to slam my head through a wall.
Been waiting for a full-length for a couple of years now... I've got to think that it will be a world-destroyer.
