Anyone listened to that three hour Prince of Denmark album?

Yes, for most of the last couple of weeks, and also going back to his 2014 mix, which is of a similar vibe. 8 has a lot of pretty incredible moments, particular in its last third. Everything seems very simple, almost simplistic, but the things that are going on behind his beats are often gorgeous. Three hours means you're going to get some ordinary stuff too, but the structure of the entire set makes a great argument for it building to something, and that thing is great.

Kangding Ray - HYPER OPAL MANTIS

could never really get into this guy before but this one is doing it for me

ciderpress, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 13:15 (seven years ago) link

I was into not the prior album, but the one before that? Solens Arc, maybe, I'd have to check

Hyper Opal Mantis did not really click with me on first listen like previous albums (Solens Arc, Automne Fold) did.

Seems like this thread's the only one where there's been a bit of talk on Helena Hauff's music, so I'll paste the good news here: A Tape to be reissued by Dark Entries!. Also, her shows for BBC radio are fabulous. Of course.

damian green is people (NickB), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 22:28 (six years ago) link

brimstead, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 22:31 (six years ago) link

https://www.discogs.com/Various-A-Decade-Ilian-Tape/master/1165657

brimstead, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 01:58 (six years ago) link

i highly recommend anything by Stenny or/and Andrea

brimstead, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 01:59 (six years ago) link

I screwed up by missing most of an Ancient Methods live set because I had seen a lot of techno that week and opted for big stage spectacle
they were playing before or after Orphx, I forget, good combo

mh, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 03:44 (six years ago) link

Chloe - Endless Revisions

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 09:44 (six years ago) link

i recommended this in bobbins but industrie and zartlichkeit by the german artist moon is a v good album of drexciya-type electro with the odd house touch here and there.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 22 November 2017 10:29 (six years ago) link

I didn't hear what everyone else heard in that DJ Python I guess.

Here are 2017 records I was into that could conceivably fit here:

Arca - s/t
Suda - Hives EP
Air Max ‘97 - Vessel EP
Fatigado - Sanzala
Masaacooramaan - Drum Fission
NKC - Tincture
SHALT - ʃælt
The Newcomer, Earth Motivation
Mana - Creature
Thoom - Blood and Sand
Thys - Tetris, Mon Amour
Ziur - U Feel Anything?
M.E.S.H. - Hesaitix

And probably that new Equiknoxx record.

The Errorsmith album kinda rules in a low key offbeat way

pre millennial tension (uptown churl), Friday, 12 January 2018 15:13 (six years ago) link

anyway if you like your contemporary kosmische music i can give no higher recommendation than to the new vakula on leleka, "metaphors"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r50dBMjhqvU

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:35 (six years ago) link

that's just one side off a double 12" btw

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:37 (six years ago) link

Sorry you don't like my thread tlg ;_;

I like the mallet percussion on that though.

haha i *do* like your thread i just believe in scene balkanization and internecine sub-genre warfare 4eva

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:46 (six years ago) link

(j/k I don't care where people post, I just wanted somewhere to put the music I've been listening to that didn't seem to fit anywhere else)

xp lol

it even bothers me there's a house and techno thread, would much prefer to split into house thread and techno thread, and then divide up house thread into different cities in the US and europe and beyond, and then divide those up by bpm, let a hundred (thousand) dance threads bloom, but sadly not enough posting to support that

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:48 (six years ago) link

Haha, I don't agree but it's a beautiful vision

change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:50 (six years ago) link

i also think (much like idm) "experimental club" has become its own thing beyond just any club-rooted music that is, um, experimental, i.e. i think it's a great thread for the breaking glass / gun shot noises type stuff (which, don't get me wrong, i really like) or other post-grime post-footwork type stuff but i felt weird dropping this vakula in the middle of that

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link

Did you hear that De Leon EP?
