Did a search and didn't find anything about him on here. Didn't know if anyone was a fan of him. I like him a lot, he has a nice night time sound to me that is a bit different than the stuff that I usually listen to. I love the album "Redemption's Sun" and the title track is just amazing. I suggest his stuff to people who like stuff like Peter Gabriel's world music stuff or (for some odd reason) people fans of David Byrne.

I figured there would be a thread about him, but I also figured that people would be talking about him

The only song I ever heard was "Can't Exist," which I think is pretty good. Can anyone recommend a starting point or does no one give a shit about this asshole?

I remember getting into a song called "a smile that explodes" a long time ago, but I didnt really get into his album.

Joseph's best work imo (in order):

Come To Where I'm From
Redemption's Son
Our Shadows Will Remain
Big City Secrets (this and the above 3 are awfully close)
Nuclear Daydream

Is this thread all I can find on here?

Anyway, I noticed this guy is playing here early March and I randomly downloaded a torrent with a best-of someone made and this shit is pretty good, I'd say. What do RM'ers think?

SmilinSkullRing · **Posted:** Sun Dec 28, 2008 8:52 pm

He's pretty good. I only have Temporary People myself.

all of his records up until Our Shadows Will Remain are stellar... everything since has been hit or miss, with Let's Just Be being completely awful.
if i had to pick a favorite, i'd say Redemption's Son, Our Shadows Will Remain, and Come To Where I'm From

he's really great live, but i prefer him solo w/ his looping to his newer rock band.

Yeah, I really liked that one, and the "Freedom" one he played both days at PJFest
Gonna have to put him onto one of the "opening bands" mix cds ive made over the years
