Haha. I see Hegelson is pimping Vampire Hands again. It's really good—a bit quieter than what I usually like, and I wanted more PIL big drums, but it's held up through several listens.

I have been trying hard with Kayo Dot and have just about got it. Torche is v good also.
― aldo, Friday, 30 May 2008 09:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I thought that Kayo Dot was pretty disappointing, seemed lack some of the intensity that I liked in the earlier albums. It was just a little too composed for my tastes, I was hoping for a little looser attack.
I'm still enjoying the Jamie Lidell album much, much more than I ever expected to.

I had never heard Kayo Dot before this album, so it really hit me pretty hard. I should probably check out some of that older stuff then.

maybe it's bc i'm $+0|\|3D but this Atlas Sound album r u l e s
― poortheatre, Friday, 30 May 2008 23:43 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm getting the Kayo Dot, hopefully. Since leaving ILX I got hold of their first two albums and was completely blown away by both. "The Manifold Curiosity" and "___on limpid form" in particular are absolutely masterful creations. I gather Mr. Driver decided to sack everyone in the band who wasn't his girlfriend though so can't really imagine how the new one turned out.

wye oak 'if children' album isn't anything terribly different but it's quite lovely and the perfect antidote for people who used to like cat power

Add Debut Album by Terminus to my list. It's like Broadcast and/or Ladytron, with an added (and none-too-subtle) sci-fi movie component.

I usually go through your Amazon lists at the end of the year to pick up anything I might've missed. Got Electrelane & Caribou that way, so cheers Nick.

Lex you have zero funky house in your list?!?!?
I need to help you with this problem.
― Tim F, Thursday, 12 June 2008 10:41 (sixteen years ago) link
funky house basically doesn't figure on my radar at all except for when it bleeds into other kinds of house, or grime or whatever
i forgot wiley's grime wave and the appleblim dubstep sllstars mix! and the roland appel album and and and
