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

Been enjoying Dusty Kid's III quite a lot during long distance runs

somewhat predictably, the new kangding ray is a really strong record and sounds *fantastic*

That new Hauschka album Abandoned City is rather lovely, don't listen to a word of that cloth-eared pitchfork review, it is a really fine album.

Ukkonen has a new two-song EP, Aika, which is nice.

That new Hauschka album Abandoned City is rather lovely, don't listen to a word of that cloth-eared pitchfork review, it is a really fine album.

Hugely divided reviews in EU, too! And so good!

Yeah the Hauschka record is gorgeous. I was listening to it earlier today and trying to work out how much of it was made from one prepared piano.

That stuff is begging to be used as soundtrack fodder. I like it.

don't listen to a word of that cloth-eared pitchfork review

do i even want to know what they said

yeah, still loving the hauschka album

francis harris's minutes of sleep is incredible

http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=14535

had no idea of back story til after i listened to it - discovered it via the sprinkles remix

Listening to the Francis Harris now - yeah, it's good.

Never did hear the Segue album from last year but the new one sounds good on first listen in a music-to-drift-off-to sorta way.

Enjoyed the Downliners Sekt too. Starts off sounding pretty Burial-ish with all the disembodied mumbly ghost voices, but it's rich in detail and a good taut piece of work throughout so will probably give it a few plays yet.

Also I know that 12k seemingly turn out a big bunch of great ambient records every year, but the new Illuha is fabulous, a really nice mix of delicate drifting beatless electronica and intimately recorded small sounds.

the sample is nice

clicky, with sort of some vibes or something

thanks for the recommendation, I def got burned out on their release schedule a while ago

it's on spotify if you wanna give it a whizz:

Oh Segue have a new album, you should check out the last one Nick it is one the best dub techno albums of recent years.

was actually quite difficult to hear the thing when it came out iirc, but yeah i shd definitely rectify that now

thanks pgwp for the Karen Gwyer recommendation

New Martyn and new Lone both out today

Don't sleep on me ol' mate Sully's new EP either :-)

Abdulla Rashim's album is some nice no-nonsense tech too.

i don't know if this should be in the house/techno thread or on some grime thread but i'm loving these and they go well together:

Tessela

Poolboy92

This is on the bobbins thread, but many of you would probably enjoy the Answer Code Request album. Pretty straightforward, really satisfying breakbeat techno.

I was doing an ok job of keeping up with this music in the early part of the year but have fallen off. Anyone have any recommendations?

Answer Code Request!

really? i thought ACR was pretty disappointing.

Enjoying this Karen Gwyer live set

http://boilerroom.tv/recording/karen-gwyer/

Oh yeah, I was at that. Really good music for wandering around a church to, probably great for doing other things too.

anyone heard the MOIRE album yet?

Not strictly techno but the new Vessel album is very cool

i'm into the moiré album! giving me galcher lustwerk vibes plus a bit of "what if things actually happened on an actress album"

Loving the Call Super album

enjoying the MonoInput album from 2012. a lot. has the same impact the Forward Strategy Group album had on me - a kind of Cold War vibe, the romanticism of concrete in winter and numbers stations. feels like it was written twenty years ago or more, but sounds surprisingly fresh for all that.

Spotify keeps trying to get me to listen to MonoInput

wondering at the similarities between MOIRE and BNJMN

thumbs up on the Ital album

itching to hear the new Roman Flugel, if it's anywhere near as good as Fatty Folders it'll be a treat

it's... good. some very nice tracks. gorgeous and a little showboat-y, maybe a little overstuffed. i don't know, i haven't totally warmed to it for whatever reasons, don't mean to be a downer, it is definitely a lovely listen. the opening track is such a neu! pastiche though, lol, with nothing neu! to add, would rather listen to neu! tbh.

i have my gripes but i think it's satisfying as a roman flugel album.

you have muted my flugel-horn

not really

lol

loved fatty folders, haven't listened to the new one enough yet, but i think i love it too

my god

moire is so good

want to give ghettoville a relisten now

probably says more about my lack of knowledge than anything else, but i got a bit of a newworldaquarium vibe off the moire album (this is a good thing obv)

As someone who is really into Actress, that Moire album is a million times better than Ghettoville.

new christopher willits is really beautiful indeed, but it is *very* ghostly international - soft sad quasi-ambient music that's as clean as a chrome-legged coffee table.

have listened to it 2x in a row already at work, and i don't see me stopping anytime soon

curious about that.

new lee gamble album is so good.

Between Aphex Twin, Call Super, Vessel, and Lee Gamble, is this the month of the high-profile weirdo techno album?
