my favortie black dice record is beaches and canyons. i think it is their best combination of noisiness and ambient psych. i like the early stuff just fine but don't listen to it on record much. recent black dice sets have bored me. i thought they were at their peak opening on the godspeed tour in 2002.
terrestrial tones is kind of forgettable, but i do like soft circle. i definitely miss hisham's drumming in black dice.
i've seen blues control four times, and once (at 611 last year) they blew me away. all the other times have been enjoyable but not mindblowing.
