thumbs up on the Ital album
itching to hear the new Roman Flugel, if it's anywhere near as good as Fatty Folders it'll be a treat
― john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:30 (nine years ago) link
it's... good. some very nice tracks. gorgeous and a little showboat-y, maybe a little overstuffed. i don't know, i haven't totally warmed to it for whatever reasons, don't mean to be a downer, it is definitely a lovely listen. the opening track is such a neu! pastiche though, lol, with nothing neu! to add, would rather listen to neu! tbh.

i have my gripes but i think it's satisfying as a roman flugel album.
― mattresslessness, Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link
you have muted my flugel-horn
― john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 11 September 2014 16:04 (nine years ago) link
not really
lol

my god
moire is so good

want to give ghettoville a relisten now
― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:17 (nine years ago) link
probably says more about my lack of knowledge than anything else, but i got a bit of a newworldaquarium vibe off the moire album (this is a good thing obv)
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 12 September 2014 08:51 (nine years ago) link
As someone who is really into Actress, that Moire album is a million times better than Ghettoville.

new christopher willits is really beautiful indeed, but it is *very* ghostly international - soft sad quasi-ambient music that's as clean as a chrome-legged coffee table.
― john wahey (NickB), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 13:59 (nine years ago) link
have listened to it 2x in a row already at work, and i don't see me stopping anytime soon
― john wahey (NickB), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 14:01 (nine years ago) link
curious about that.
new lee gamble album is so good.
― mattresslessness, Friday, 19 September 2014 02:59 (nine years ago) link
Between Aphex Twin, Call Super, Vessel, and Lee Gamble, is this the month of the high-profile weirdo techno album?
― ed.b, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:19 (nine years ago) link
not really feeling any of these
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:32 (nine years ago) link
not even lee gamble? it sounds amazing imo. like a high-def kassem mosse or something. it's kind of sprawling but there are a few bombs on there. i listened to it after the new shkxkhskh whatever album and it sort of leaped out for being so much more powerful, lol.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:50 (nine years ago) link
i liked the shkxhkshk whatever album too but it's sort of uneven imo.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:51 (nine years ago) link
v, have you heard this?

i picked up each of the first two right when they came out (96 and 98) but had no idea this one was out
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:59 (nine years ago) link
first two volumes are like 10 top desert island discs for me
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:01 (nine years ago) link
oh cool. i gotta get the first two. #3 is pretty sweet.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:04 (nine years ago) link
cosign on the lee gamble, didn't expect to dig it, dug it. also that moire album.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Monday, 22 September 2014 04:09 (nine years ago) link
yeah moire is kind of perfect rn, it's grim and subdued upfront but a p fun ride, lots of bounce.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:20 (nine years ago) link
i got the first two up on slsk
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:24 (nine years ago) link
vessel record is superb, 'anima' is just stunning
― john wahey (NickB), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 10:52 (nine years ago) link
also loving the moire record. and idk why i had low expectations but the new aphex is really doing it for me too
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
tried to make some techno and i'm pretty certain i did it wrong. forgot to use synthesizers and btw what is techno? https://soundcloud.com/artsextract/calabash-boom-hisarna
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:11 (nine years ago) link
i can probably guess exactly what it's going to sound like but has anyone heard the vatican shadow/function collab yet?
xp ha, I will give that a go later jordan
― john wahey (NickB), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, co-sign Moire as well for what it's worth. Just a minor complaint, I kinda wish the record had a cooler cover.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:18 (nine years ago) link
i was listening to some Patricia this morning and felt dumb for not going to see him in a tiny room here, oh well.
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:34 (nine years ago) link
absolutely love the call super record, think it's really beautiful and dude is on a roll in 2014 (see also his work as ondo fudd). dunno whether it's "weirdo" though, that seems a bit reductive.
― lex pretend, Thursday, 25 September 2014 13:13 (nine years ago) link
some really nice ambient techno from vancouver:

― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:38 (nine years ago) link
had no idea call super and ondo fudd were the same person
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:40 (nine years ago) link
idk why i had low expectations but the new aphex is really doing it for me too
I had low expectations because I hadn't loved anything he put out since the Flow Coma remix. turns out Syro's pretty hot.
have we mentioned Jo Johnson's album Weaving yet? it's great. Sherburne wrote a good review in PF.
― ugh (lukas), Thursday, 25 September 2014 21:57 (nine years ago) link
the lee gamble and call super are both great :)
― ed.b, Friday, 10 October 2014 02:42 (nine years ago) link
call super hasn't totally swayed me yet, but i do like the more jon hassell-ish passages on it
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 10 October 2014 10:43 (nine years ago) link
also i wanna register a thumbs-up for the new hieroglyphic being
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 10 October 2014 10:51 (nine years ago) link
NTS: Need to check out Lee Gamble more. That album called Somethingsomething 1994-1997 or whatever threw a curveball at me as I assumed it was a reissue comp, but I've since learnt it's not the case?
― Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Friday, 10 October 2014 10:51 (nine years ago) link
diversions 199x-199y - it's new tracks built out of ambient sections of old rave and jungle recordings. haven't gone back to it much but it received good press at the time
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 10 October 2014 11:01 (nine years ago) link
i'm finding the call super album endlessly involving, i hear new things each time, there's so much in it and i love the...wetness of it all, it's very tactile
― lex pretend, Friday, 10 October 2014 12:33 (nine years ago) link
Listening to this Call Super album based on recs in this thread and from two friends and I am really into it, it reminds me of the Vermont/Saschienne/Ursprung albums of yesteryear but much richer and with more intricate sounds.
The Lee Gamble is a great 45-minute album stretched out too far and too long but there are some great ideas on it, the more dancefloor-functional moments on it sound like what it sounds like to be outside a club after four hours beside a speaker, heading home but full of life.
