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

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

That Dj Sotofett album has been hitting the spot today.

(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:

anyone listen to that Shinichi Atobe album from last year?

Its ok.

the red line, from the ship-scope 12, has been one of my favourites for a number of years, nothing on the new record really comes anywhere close to that

yah, part of why they sought him out, it's just such a singular release

that one track is a service to both the trees and the leaves that grow on them

Just listened to the Shinichi Atobe album a few hours ago. It's really nice! Granted, I don't know his earlier stuff, but the soft melodies and textural details sound kind of like dubby microhouse stuff I like a whole bunch.

kind of the whole deal is that he had one release, four tracks, on basic channel, ever, and that was it

the story is that they tracked him down and he had this unreleased stuff and it got compiled, but ~it is a mystery~

for all we know they just figured out it was one of the german dudes like dj pete who did a one-off under a japanese name and they got some more stuff

i am impressed by how the nick höppner album hangs together, is excellent on a track-by-track basis, and mixes well. good bang for one's buck. also hardwax aif downloads are a good deal right now with the weakening euro.

yeah, the nick höppner album is great

Absolutely loving this album:

Judging by the tracklisting that would appear to be some kind of Vatican Shadow side-project about Norse mythology.

Gone back to the atobe record - free access zone 5 is good actually, missed that one before, still a bit underwhelmed by the rest - but, expectation and all that

Judging by the tracklisting that would appear to be some kind of Vatican Shadow side-project about Norse mythology.

Varg side-project, but yeah, you have the right idea.
