J: the chromatic titling started out as a simple way to title and add levity what we felt were very dense records. we felt that the themes and music were too various and broad to come up with a title that encompassed everything. the colors were like numbers for us, with the added benefit that i could work with the titles visually. it felt like the right idea, considering the fact that we knew i'd be doing the album covers, and if we stuck to the idea, after a while our albums could all be presented simultaneously and have a common aesthetic.

really, it was the simplest idea we liked.

J: nailing down a top five list is tough. there's a lot of music out there, and i'd suggest trying to listen to one new album a day to keep yourself informed and enlightened. however, if you haven't heard these records, you should give them a try. these are occasionally challenging albums, and have shaped the music i write in a very real way (keep in mind, these are my suggestions, and you'd get different responses from any of us that you asked):

Scott Walker - the tilt and/or nite flights (walker brothers) Neurosis - Through Silver and Blood Jesus Lizard - Down Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Melvins - Bullhead

again, these aren't necessarily my top fives, but they are VERY important records from different periods of my life.
