checking out that RAP album
speaking of cross-genre album exercises, still trying to figure out if I like Heavy the Eclipse, the Clouds one
anyone else heard it?
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:38 (five years ago) link
new to me, wild album art and track titles

been meaning to listen to the ossia lp
RAP really upped the game on names that are unsearchable on streaming services, huh
guess that is one way to make a bandcamp sale
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:54 (five years ago) link
Ha, that was the only way I could find it (w/the label name). Maybe it's not on streaming services though, there's no way to know.
I was totally stumped the other day after hearing a mix and some tracks by a producer named 'Toni' on NTS the other day. Track names were all generic single words. Couldn't find a soundcloud, twitter, absolutely nothing. Good job Toni.

hah, I was referencing The Locust last week
but yes, the RAP release isn't on anything other than bandcamp afaict
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 16:08 (five years ago) link
ciderpress, what comic is that? I remember it from somewhere but I'm drawing a blank
dunno i think it's from some locust related record sleeve or merch or zine. it was briefly a meme on SA at some point back in the 00s which is where i have it from

ah, that makes sense

It’s great. Being discussed on her own ThreadOcto Octa &c

Not sure what genre it falls under but Barker's Utility is great. Where artists like Lorenzo Senni have left me cool, this just hit the right spots. Wish the tracks were longer though, each could be it's own 10 minute exploratory jam.
― ed.b, Saturday, 28 September 2019 20:33 (four years ago) link
yeah otm really nice but way too short
― calzino, Saturday, 28 September 2019 21:15 (four years ago) link
Yeah 'Utility' is a great work album

I might wonder why, after all the fanfare for "String Theory," Mandar's 2017 S/T album never got any attention. Except the reason seems obvious: they gratuitously put it out on five 180g discs. That said, it is classy minimal house at its finest.

idk really where this goes but it's great and has Mark Fell on it: https://33-33.bandcamp.com/track/oglon-day-1

Does Anthony Naples's Fog FM count? It's pretty damn good.
― pomenitul, Sunday, 6 October 2019 12:22 (four years ago) link
I much preferred his last one, with the memorable Midnight Cowboy sampling interlude and I can't remember the name of it!
― calzino, Sunday, 6 October 2019 12:59 (four years ago) link
actually it sounds p dope, just haven't listened to it much.

Take Me With You was the previous one

that's the one, it went missing when my last pc died

i love fog fm; amazing album. I should try Take Me With You for sure!

Check out the Tribe of Colin album on Honest Jon's. Minimal repetitive tracks that sound like they're all made with hardware (I don't care whether producers use hardware or software but still) and get gradually more fucked as they progress. Some of it's the kind of outsider house/techno that sounds like it could be on LIES, some of it's more dubby and some of it's more grimey. RIYL Actress, Hype Williams

Lovely packaging too
Apparently he preps parts, puts them in the SP-404 (which is not known for its quantization), and records live takes. That's a cool way of doing things, especially since that machine is so associated with post-Dilla/lo-fi hip hop beats (almost makes me wish I wasn't selling mine).
