wow really surprising. i'm very pro-nina kraviz in general - her 2009 single "i'm gonna get you" is an ALL-TIME CLASSIC imo - but i didn't think this album was much more than your typical three-star fine-enough dance lp

xp I thought he meant it was less polite than Norse? But I don't know...― emil.y, Monday, 28 January 2013 14:43 (5 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Yeah, that's what I mean. I love Inspector Norse (my #1 track), but DJP is OTM here. I think Lone's mission is to pick up where early-90s aardkore left off.

pretty pleased to see kraviz place though, she's such an awesome dj. oddest place i saw her pop up in 2012 - midway through the khodorkovsky documentary about russian corruption

That spotify link is actually not for the right thing (the album doesn't appear to be available there). Here's a sampler on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/rekids/rekids010cd-promo-nina-kraviz

lone album is great, its weird to see something that's basically 90s IDM on the list in 2013
― ciderpress, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:01 (eleven years ago) link
The IDM description kind of goes against the impolite shiny rave description... Which is it, ILM?
(To be honest, it doesn't sound like it'd nec. be my thing, though I still have fondness for various IDM tropes.)
― emil.y, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:03 (eleven years ago) link
it's a proper party album though. the only other thing i can equate with galaxy garden is young smoke's space zone (which i will spend a good chunk of this poll waiting in vain to appear)

Neil was spot on with his Zomby call on the Lone record, it's very Where Were U In 92

yeah thats probably a better reference point than idm actually

Dunno, people who were into the Nina Kraviz album seemed to be really really into it, although it didn't do much for me at all.
Seemingly more bobbins in the albums poll than in the tracks poll already.

which... is kind weird, no?

Anyone making a Spotify playlist?
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 28 January 2013 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
I haven't played this Nina album in a long time, but these clips on Soundcloud are reminding me why I liked it.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
It's definitely kind of surprising. It's not like any of the albums that have placed have been from particularly auterish or crossover artists either.

68. METZ Metz (219 Points, 10 Votes) Spotify
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:16 (eleven years ago) link
the only metz i know is the french town where there's an atp tournament every year
― lex pretend, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:17 (eleven years ago) link
in that case, i much prefer the tennis metz tbh. found this album a bit tedious.
― charlie h, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
I find it strange, that with a decade of microhouse and minimal house under the bridge, people are saying Inspector Norse is polite. It's not exactly nosebleed gabba, but it's got loads of bounce and plenty of stuff going on in there.
― more like bog satin (dog latin), Monday, 28 January 2013 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
WTF is METZ?
― more like bog satin (dog latin), Monday, 28 January 2013 15:20 (eleven years ago) link
This Metz album seems okay, but if I'm in the mood for something like this I'll just play Hot Snakes.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:20 (eleven years ago) link
oh cool, i was hoping someone else would go for metz! they're consistently good, but "sad pricks" stuck out for me (tee hee)
youtube - sad pricks

didn't vote for it but i enjoyed that albums the few times i heard it. it's very jesus lizardy guitar rock dog latin
― a la recherche du tempbans perdu (NickB), Monday, 28 January 2013 15:22 (eleven years ago) link
sort of a 2012 take on jesus lizard, drive like jehu, occasional in utero-style drumming,
― Z S, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:23 (eleven years ago) link
I heard that the Metz is a good record for us metal doods. True?

The Metz record made me dig out old Jesus Lizard, so thanks Metz!

Didn't know this, I'm assuming they're named after that rather than the alcopop.

― nathey, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:27 (eleven years ago) link
it doesn't have the same lustre or immediacy as JL, or DLJ for that matter, perhaps because it's plying in a second-hand kind of way for the same effect so many years down the track.
― charlie h, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:28 (eleven years ago) link
metz record holds up fairly well; theres always a place for one or two records like this a year
― an eagle named "small government" (call all destroyer), Monday, 28 January 2013 15:28 (eleven years ago) link
I like the riff in "Knife in the Water" like whoa. But I agree that this is largely not a patch on what it's copying.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:29 (eleven years ago) link
Almost impossible to imagine an improvement on Jesus Lizard type stuff these days, that's the problem.
Maybe in 20 years...
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
wow, listening to Knife in the Water now, that riff is 100% Drive Like Jehu. don't know why i didn't pick up on that before.
― charlie h, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:37 (eleven years ago) link
This Metz album is fun!
― pandemic, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:38 (eleven years ago) link
enjoying Metz, but the production is a bit odd. Needs a bit more bottom end IMO, but then again I'm probably saying that because I'm used to these kind of records being produced in an Albini style.
― Neil S, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
they're great live, too. imagine the album just 100x louder
― Z S, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
ugh the metz album is so boring
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 28 January 2013 15:43 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, and i don't know, sort of lazy too, which isn't always an issue for me, but apparently it is here.
― charlie h, Monday, 28 January 2013 15:44 (eleven years ago) link
if you are interested in albini-esque loud obnoxious rock music, i prefer the album "man feelings" by the band fake limbs, it has more personality: http://fakelimbs.bandcamp.com/
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 28 January 2013 15:45 (eleven years ago) link
again with the personality

Techno and house music.

xpost house and techno as opposed to d'n'b, dubstep, jungle, "bass" etc
