'''Thirsty Ear Recordings''' is an American [[independent record label]]. It was founded in the late 1970s as a marketing company for the then-unnamed [[alternative music]] field, and expanded to issue its own records in 1990.<br />
<br />
Thirsty Ear came to prominence in the mid-1990s with a series of CD reissues of early [[industrial music|industrial]] albums by artists such as [[Foetus (band)|Foetus]], [[Einstürzende Neubauten]], [[Marc Almond]], [[Swans (band)|Swans]], and [[Test Dept]]. The label also released new albums by [[alternative rock]] bands such as Baby Ray, [[Madder Rose]], and The Church. Foetus would remain on the label, recording original music on Thirsty Ear through 2001.<br />
<br />
More recently, Thirsty Ear has released jazz albums as part of its ''Blue Series''. Enlisting [[Matthew Shipp]] as the artistic director, the ''Blue Series'' has released albums by artists such as Shipp, [[William Parker (musician)|William Parker]], [[Charlie Hunter]] and [[Tim Berne]], while also inviting [[electronica]] artists [[DJ Spooky]], [[Meat Beat Manifesto]], and [[Spring Heel Jack]]; hip-hoppers [[El-P]] and [[Antipop Consortium]]; and even [[Slayer]] drummer [[Dave Lombardo]].<br />
