omar-s: 1:4 hit miss ratio but when he hits he hits it out of the park

the late great, Sunday, 23 November 2014 05:38 (nine years ago) link

feel like a lot lot lot of his shit only sounds good in the context of an omar-s album or mix, it just doesn't blend well with other tracks ime

i think i am the only person that didn't grok that leon vynehall ...

the late great, Sunday, 23 November 2014 05:45 (nine years ago) link

that track xelab posted is great, feel like omar-s + luke hess is a winning combination

deep house not techno but

k15 - insecurities

is sounding very nice rn

― mattresslessness,

this is really good, kind of surprised its a new record

saer, Sunday, 23 November 2014 07:54 (nine years ago) link

i love 'i just want'

k15 is so good. it's retro but it does not sound like a rip-off imo, he has a distinctive voice.

stoked to hear this mr. g album

oops, i should i have checked this out earlier right?

Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 18 December 2014 22:39 (nine years ago) link

am liking the contrast between the fairly clunky sounds and the fluid, slippery music they're making

Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 18 December 2014 22:43 (nine years ago) link

'techno primitivism' took a while to grow on me but this new juju & jordash is great straight out of the gate

Ottbot jr (NickB), Friday, 19 December 2014 14:28 (nine years ago) link

What's this Blacknecks thing the Quietus have been raving about? I don't think I get it.

this is just a saginaw (dog latin), Friday, 19 December 2014 14:30 (nine years ago) link

i don't know that at all

Ottbot jr (NickB), Friday, 19 December 2014 14:36 (nine years ago) link

yeah, the juju & jordash is great, especially the title track

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 19 December 2014 15:48 (nine years ago) link

how the hell do I keep getting lee gamble and lee bannon mixed up?!?

valleys of your mind (mh), Friday, 19 December 2014 15:50 (nine years ago) link

human league only ever wrote a song about one of them

Ottbot jr (NickB), Friday, 19 December 2014 15:53 (nine years ago) link

"whippersnapper" from the juju & jordash album came up on shuffle and i thought i was enjoying a terrence dixon track i hadn't heard.

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Thursday, 25 December 2014 02:57 (nine years ago) link

anyone into the reagenz album? p good imo. i always have time for move d.

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Thursday, 25 December 2014 03:07 (nine years ago) link

My copy's still in the mail, it seems pretty hard to find in Europe, so I had to order directly from the US, and it takes ages for stuff to get from there to here.

I was a bit dismayed to find out it's a live album (I generally don't think live electronic albums are a good idea), but OTOH from what I've gathered most Mode D/Namlook albums were done "live" in the studio too (i.e. they didn't rerecord anything, though obviously there was some processing done after the recording session), so I guess it's alright... How does the album sound?

Tuomas, Thursday, 25 December 2014 12:03 (nine years ago) link

But yeah, Move D also released a solo ambient album this year, I would definitely recommend it if you're into old school droney stuff. Move D's liner notes say he feels it's requiem to Pete Namlook (even though he originally recorded it before Namlook died), I'm not sure if I can hear that, but it's a nice piece of chill, glacial space ambient.

Tuomas, Thursday, 25 December 2014 12:08 (nine years ago) link

i wouldn't worry it doesn't sound anything like a live album at all.

xelab, Thursday, 25 December 2014 12:09 (nine years ago) link

I don't have a lot to say about Blacknecks but I appreciate techno that doesn't take itself too seriously

one month passes...

this is out today, my favorite use of noise & distorted/bitcrushed textures as an element (rather than a starting point, or the whole point) maybe ever:

That new Seraphim Rytm album is really nice, it is easily the best Silent Season release since that wonderful Segue album from a couple of years back.

xelab, Tuesday, 17 February 2015 20:40 (nine years ago) link

i can never figure out how to hear silent season stuff, which is annoying as both the descriptions i've read and their whole aesthetic are really appealing to me

anyone hear the zenker brothers album yet?

This is one easy way Nick. "The album Aeterna is inspired by Tarkovsky and the use of water to create long ambient feelings for early morning in the open mountain air"

xelab, Tuesday, 17 February 2015 21:03 (nine years ago) link

Pretty mixed reactions to Levon Vincent's new self-titled LP.

Whatchu guys thinking?

studyplenty, Tuesday, 17 February 2015 21:03 (nine years ago) link

it's great i love it

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 17 February 2015 21:04 (nine years ago) link

haha, thanks xelab!

let me be your fan taytay (NickB), Tuesday, 17 February 2015 21:10 (nine years ago) link

the zenker brothers album sounds good imo but might not be terribly exciting, i bet it sounds ace in the wild though. levon album is a must-get for me.

mattresslessness, Tuesday, 17 February 2015 21:10 (nine years ago) link

levon clearly doing it right tho

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 18 February 2015 01:04 (nine years ago) link

i didn't know there were mixed reactions to levon's album! it's so amazing

lex pretend, Wednesday, 18 February 2015 09:42 (nine years ago) link

the vakula album was mentioned on the bobbins thread but def should be here as well - very varied and surprising record

lex pretend, Wednesday, 18 February 2015 09:43 (nine years ago) link

New Etienne Jaumet is great as well, usual mix of Carl Craig arpeggios, noirish sax and krautrocky touches but consistently enjoyable.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 18 February 2015 09:52 (nine years ago) link

No idea what goes on which thread and it makes no differnce to me anyhow but here is a trip into the woods on pluie/noir

saer, Thursday, 19 February 2015 20:09 (nine years ago) link

really enjoying this trip now , havent heard rest of the lp yet tho

saer, Thursday, 19 February 2015 20:16 (nine years ago) link

That Dj Sotofett album has been hitting the spot today.

Roland Tings' s/t album from last year was released in downloadable format in January of this year and is streaming on Spotify.

(Nice little "Pacific State" warble around 2:30.)

Baroque with Extensive Trills (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 9 March 2015 22:22 (nine years ago) link

New Melchior Productions album is doing a lot for me. It feels very much like something saer would take into the forest.

boxedjoy, Monday, 9 March 2015 23:01 (nine years ago) link

yeah, i thought of saer when i heard it.

xp the roland tings album is good, haven't listened to it enough yet, tho

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Monday, 9 March 2015 23:25 (nine years ago) link

New James Place album is v good and pertinent to this thread

kriss akabusi cleaner (seandalai), Tuesday, 10 March 2015 22:51 (nine years ago) link

new album?

saer, Thursday, 12 March 2015 18:25 (nine years ago) link

oh wait...do you mean meditations?

saer, Thursday, 12 March 2015 18:26 (nine years ago) link

Yes Meditations 1-6, I know it is a compilation of two prior EPs but I think it works cohesively. I do wish "The Blessing" from the Return Of The Cosmic Kids EP was there too though.

boxedjoy, Friday, 13 March 2015 12:18 (nine years ago) link

Meditation 2 is the one!

much prefer the sightings to the blessing, but both sides are good (theres a track on the barac album which has a slight blessing feel too, i thought)

saer, Saturday, 14 March 2015 16:30 (nine years ago) link
