Rolling techno* albums thread for people who are clearly doing it wrong

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

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

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

i don't know that at all

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

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

human league only ever wrote a song about one of them

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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"

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

Whatchu guys thinking?

it's great i love it

haha, thanks xelab!

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.

levon clearly doing it right tho

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

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

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

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

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

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.)

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

yeah, i thought of saer when i heard it.

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

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

new album?

oh wait...do you mean meditations?

http://umorrex.bandcamp.com/album/living-on-superstition

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.

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)

noisy, shape-shifting club jams:
