to me konkylie's one of these records with so many little musical "bits" that only reveal themselves after a few listens - the only thing I can compare it to is Boards Of Canada's Geogaddi in that respect.

Weirdly, the singer sounds just like Antony but for whatever reason I do not want to pull out his esophagus and strangle him with it.
This. I've never enjoyed Anthony's singing, but I'm actually drawn to this.

I have some Robag Wrhume from about 2004/5 and it was really good - sort of IDM house. What's his latest stuff like?

it's kind of pastoral techno, very immersive, kind of border communityesque

Yessssss, was hoping that would place. Really beautiful example of what we used to call microhouse back in the day - lush strings, disembodied child voices, I've played it all year without getting tired of it.
― Matt DC, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
I tried hard to get into Konkylie, but I always got bored after the first two tracks (which I love!). also, closer was nice, as far as I remember.
― V79, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
was going to post that I just listened to the first half of Konkylie on Spotify, and the first two tracks do seem to stand above the rest
― two lights crew (seandalai), Monday, 30 January 2012 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
This sounds like something I would love were I listening to it outside of the context of a countdown of the 77 best albums of the year; as it stands, it's just sort of pleasant? It seems to be put together well and has a good sense of build and release, but the restraint is not what I want to listen to right now (nb this is all based on the first track, the whole album might erupt into a techstep facemelter later on for all I know)

There's a lot going on it it, but it's not really a dancefloor album, I've mostly listened to it as a late night thing while reading, in the way I would with Pantha Du Prince or someone.
― Matt DC, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
There are some lovely, very crystalline sounding tracks on that album, maybe along the same lines as Pantha Du Prince? Didn't vote for it in the end though cos those bridging pieces in between the main tracks were a bit of a drag.
― Derartu Cthulhu (NickB), Monday, 30 January 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
good comparison with pantha du prince, even more atmospheric. I'm sure he could gussy it up for the dance floor though.
― skip, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Oh he's one half of Wighnomy Brothers who are masters of gussying it up for the dance floor.

Ha, I think on the sandbox when talking about big hip-hop tracks this year, I made a comment about 2011 being the year that music stopped being real and started being polite; these first two albums seem to hold up that thesis pretty well.

Depends on whether you're listening to polite music or not. I don't think I really like this stuff that much. PDP is ok, but kinda shiny and dull at the same time imo.
Hoping for something loud at this end of the countdown.

Matt DC - Liturgy are a black metal band who've caused controversy because they dress like hipsters and try to unravel the usual black metal tropes of being Norwegian and dressing like a Vril-Ya. I still haven't heard it, but it's supposed to be good.

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
wiki
Liturgy are a self-described "transcedent black metal" band from Brooklyn, New York. Originally the solo project of Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, the band expanded to a four piece in 2008, after the release of the 12" Immortal Life, which was followed in 2009 with their debut album Renihilation. The group call their style "transcendental black metal",[1][2] which is described in a declaration written by Hunt-Hendrix.[3] Hunter cites Swans, Glenn Branca, Alexander Scriabin, Iannis Xenakis and Lightning Bolt as influences.[4]
