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

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?

not really feeling any of these

not even lee gamble? it sounds amazing imo. like a high-def kassem mosse or something. it's kind of sprawling but there are a few bombs on there. i listened to it after the new shkxkhskh whatever album and it sort of leaped out for being so much more powerful, lol.

i liked the shkxhkshk whatever album too but it's sort of uneven imo.

v, have you heard this?

:-O

i picked up each of the first two right when they came out (96 and 98) but had no idea this one was out

first two volumes are like 10 top desert island discs for me

oh cool. i gotta get the first two. #3 is pretty sweet.

cosign on the lee gamble, didn't expect to dig it, dug it. also that moire album.

yeah moire is kind of perfect rn, it's grim and subdued upfront but a p fun ride, lots of bounce.

i got the first two up on slsk

vessel record is superb, 'anima' is just stunning

also loving the moire record. and idk why i had low expectations but the new aphex is really doing it for me too

tried to make some techno and i'm pretty certain i did it wrong. forgot to use synthesizers and btw what is techno?

i can probably guess exactly what it's going to sound like but has anyone heard the vatican shadow/function collab yet?

xp ha, I will give that a go later jordan

Yeah, co-sign Moire as well for what it's worth. Just a minor complaint, I kinda wish the record had a cooler cover.

i was listening to some Patricia this morning and felt dumb for not going to see him in a tiny room here, oh well.

absolutely love the call super record, think it's really beautiful and dude is on a roll in 2014 (see also his work as ondo fudd). dunno whether it's "weirdo" though, that seems a bit reductive.

some really nice ambient techno from vancouver:

had no idea call super and ondo fudd were the same person

idk why i had low expectations but the new aphex is really doing it for me too

I had low expectations because I hadn't loved anything he put out since the Flow Coma remix. turns out Syro's pretty hot.

have we mentioned Jo Johnson's album Weaving yet? it's great. Sherburne wrote a good review in PF.

the lee gamble and call super are both great :)

call super hasn't totally swayed me yet, but i do like the more jon hassell-ish passages on it

also i wanna register a thumbs-up for the new hieroglyphic being

NTS: Need to check out Lee Gamble more. That album called Somethingsomething 1994-1997 or whatever threw a curveball at me as I assumed it was a reissue comp, but I've since learnt it's not the case?

diversions 199x-199y - it's new tracks built out of ambient sections of old rave and jungle recordings. haven't gone back to it much but it received good press at the time

i'm finding the call super album endlessly involving, i hear new things each time, there's so much in it and i love the...wetness of it all, it's very tactile

Listening to this Call Super album based on recs in this thread and from two friends and I am really into it, it reminds me of the Vermont/Saschienne/Ursprung albums of yesteryear but much richer and with more intricate sounds.

The Lee Gamble is a great 45-minute album stretched out too far and too long but there are some great ideas on it, the more dancefloor-functional moments on it sound like what it sounds like to be outside a club after four hours beside a speaker, heading home but full of life.

dunno why ilm is not in luvv w/ this
