The Field, "From Here We Go To Sublime"

favorite record of the 2000s? wow. that's high praise. not sure if i ever made it through all of untrue, but i loved archangel. listened to all of his first record, though, im pretty sure

the last song on the second field record is the best thing he has ever done or will do

Aye, Sequenced knocks everything on ...Sublime into a cocked hat.

Still don't get Burial.

I was into IDM in college (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, etc.) but hadn't really heard much electronic music beyond that until a few years ago.

If I were to recommend one electronic album from the past decade (and I guess I'm not including stuff like Junior Boys, which leans pop), it would be Luomo's The Present Lover. Although I think Isolee's We Are Monster makes a pretty good primer for someone who doesn't listen to a lot of electronic music, just because it's so varied sonically.

would be interested in checking out both of those records!

fwiw, i love the second junior boys record, think the latest one was whatever, and have been told by a least one ilxor that i need to get a copy of last exit asap

so this is goodbye really is just such a solid record. haven't listened to the whole thing in forever but i really should soon

I was really into Orbital, Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, etc when I was 17. In Sides & Snivilisation by Orbital remain all-time favourites. Big fan of Four Tet, Caribou, Pantha Du Prince etc these days. Like but not blown away by Luomo. Never heard We Are Monster; I guess I should.

Isolee's We Are Monster is fantastic (one particularly standout song, whose name escapes me atm).

I'd say replace The Present Lover with Vocalcity, make it your life's goal to hear We Are Monster, and you'll be just fine.

In Sides & Snivilisation by Orbital remain all-time favourites

In Sides is top 10 for me. I actually started following your writing on Stylus after that article where you talk about the In Sides poster you've lugged around for years.

That album got love when it came out, but I think it gets overlooked now.

can't find a general thread for him just ones for each album

but new song & album alert!

I guess at some point we stopped starting new threads for new albums by The Field, but on a whim I played Infinite Moment this morning and really enjoyed it. The whole second half is wonderful, but then I always prefer the more subtle-and-understated Field tracks to the anthems.

Is it just me or was this album kinda slept on relative to the previous ones? I don't recall hearing a lot about it at the time.

Also crazy that this was released nearly six years ago! I still think of it as the "new" one.

Haven't thought about The Field for awhile but it's good work techno (which is very distinct from business techno, lol). I remember having an early revelation about the power of a very (deceptively) simple loop listening to his first record.
