i think someone mentioned that Soela LP upthread? i'm digging "It's Around Us, It's Everywhere", "Power of Mind" and "Hold On" for club play, should club play ever be a thing again.

*weeps quietly*
Workaround is improvisational in a way but there’s a fine tuned push and pull between the way the music is constantly opening up and the technical mastery of reduced sound. I’ve been reaching for some way to describe how exquisite I find listening to a musical language that is this open ended, constantly alive thing that is also kind of “hidden” in the sense that detail and dimension are hiding in plain sight and always revealing themselves, unexpected but humble - beautiful. In that sense it reminds me of laughing stock by talk talk which is an otherwise weird thing to compare it to.

Yeah Workaround is one of those things that is so well produced that its quality helps to enhance its overall vibe significantly by making those spacial qualities that much more engaging. Big ups to James Rand and Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering.
― octobeard, Thursday, 23 April 2020 21:12 (four years ago) link
Good takes. Workaround is great. I didn't realize it was polished up at Dubplates & Mastering. That place turns out so much great work. Wasn't familiar with James Rand but he and Rashad Becker have good ears huh.

I’m on record as having bought new albums and reissues particularly due to D&M being involved!

i feel partially responsible for the confusing cross pollination between this thread and the reconstructed thread but I’ll further it by cross posting the hodge record here. The hodge record — so good!

I'm sure she's been discussed somewhere, but if you haven't checked out the Loraine James from last year, I really recommend doing so. The album just ... breathes really well. Favorite tracks probably So Scared and Sensual.

Kush Jones has done the Resident Advisor podcast this week as well.
Have to say I don't understand the DJ Python thing at all.

well i for one had never heard of hurra torpedo. (honestly it's a struggle for me to remember matmos, i'm old) hurra torpedo remind me more of amoebic ensemble, even though technically amoebic ensemble only had one member who played pots and pans. you can hear him in the earlier band space heater at the beginning of this video:

― Kate (rushomancy), Sunday, 26 July 2020 14:47 (three years ago) link
hurra were an aughties hit for me; their touring schtick was to source appliances at every stop because they utterly demolish whatever they're "playing". It's energetic!

stunning 2020 update of nebulous artificial intelligence / ambient house vibes
― the late great, Thursday, 30 July 2020 00:09 (three years ago) link
I will be sure to check this thanks.Love the Ex-Terrestrial stuff too - just made a CD comp from some of his Bandcamp 12"s.Jamie Tiller's been playing quite a lot of this early 90s influenced house / techno on his NTS shows. Great stuff.
― millmeister, Thursday, 30 July 2020 11:01 (three years ago) link
really like the ex-terrestrial album paraworld . gets sorta saw85-92-ish at times.

― brimstead, Thursday, 30 July 2020 18:19 (three years ago) link
Thanks for the tip on Jamie Tiller. There's so much good stuff on NTS.
I hadn't realized Robag Wruhme released a new LP last year. Parts of it sit well alongside some of the new ambient house stuff without any obvious 90s signifiers. Other parts (Volta Copy) get a little too sugary for me. Maybe the laziest way I can praise it is to say it's the equal of Thora Vukk.

works for me. I've played it a couple of times but was kinda distracted in both instances. I think I like it?

Just digging in. So far it's a bit "safe" for me. He's always walked a line between the kind of more krautrocky experimental electronics techno that I like (think Border Community) and the kind of pretty easy listening hotel lobby electronics I don't like as much.
