Hotel Paral.lel still is one of the most amazing records I've ever heard, so I'll vote for that.

I thought 'Live in Japan' would place higher.

It was always going to be a two-box game.

RE-COUNT!

Endless Summer probably has the lowest enjoyment gained vs. number of listens ratio out of any album I've ever heard. I tried and tried but it never really clicked.

Try 'Venice' then.

I have that. And the Sakamoto thing. I live in hope!

It took me a while to get into ES too. It's only after loving Venice that I went back to that album.

I'm going to see him with Mike Patton tonight and I'm a bit scared by MP's part of teh equation. Has anyone seen them on this tour?

God, that was boring. Left halfway through...

i'd imagine that Fennesz would be a bit boring live. just like sitting through an hour's worth of first-year computer music compositions is boring-- all these kids trying to ape Fennesz and failing miserably.
i'd go with Endless Summer, but if collabs were included, Wrapped Islands would be my favorite. that album continues to comfort/astound me.

Fennesz remix of Junior Boys "Last Exit" still slaying my ass after all these years. Nothing quite says summer like this song for me.

I just came here to say that the new record is really beautiful and worth a listen, definitely his best effort in years, perfect for winter.

I mean, it's new-ish. Came out in late spring, I believe. But it's lovely, especially on a set of good speakers at a mid volume

We don't seem to have a general Fennesz thread but I'll use this one. A little news:

there's something about agora that feels very comforting to me now. i've played it a million times.
i see he has a new collaboration with a duo called ozmotic, senzatempo. sounding very cinematic so far. https://fenneszreleases.bandcamp.com/album/senzatempo
