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

Even as a teenager, I was dissecting the music I listened to and looking for musical and thematic links to other things; The Cure drove most of my extracurricular reading list between the ages of 14 and 17 and the best part of drum n bass was the reinterpretations of the Funky Drummer and Amen breaks

so in other words, I think you're constructing a false binary there

right

i do think there is a potential in expertise, or educated taste, to lose touch with natural pleasures that could either come from less sophisticated instances of an art or could be inhibited by one's sense that one is in the know.

also, even though i certainly can't contest tlg's expertise, i don't think i'm an idiot or anything when it comes to music, so i am inclined to think that judgments about this music made in terms of expertise (or degree of sophistication relative to some body of work, etc) are not all that decisive.

love this comp. if there's a better club music or 'grime in 2014' thread i should be posting stuff like this too, lemme know.

Karen Gwyer put out a second EP this year. I think I like it more than the first.

Anyone heard the new 2562 album?

yes! i was thinking about posting about it tonight but wasn't sure what to say. it's ... different.

on the albums front, enjoying chevel's air is freedom and edward's into a better future

New Recondite is sounding very good, subdued tech-house with lots of nice detail http://open.spotify.com/album/7JoFdHAOCBzjT6lzWOfcGR

huh i didn't even know he had a second

new one is 'iffy' for those who don't do spotify

i think i posted abt it on the bobbins thread when it came out, but was just listening to "a series of shocks" by tobias. on ostgut ton and man, it is magnificent

i've kind of had syro on repeat tbh.

excited to hear:

population one - theater of a confused mind
ike release - noir

curious about:

2562 - the new today
vladislav delay - visa

need to relisten:

vessel - punish, honey
call super - suzi ecto
vatican shadow - death is unity with god

already way into:

lee gamble - koch

not an album but i've really fallen for shackleton's freezing, opening, thawing.

and that chevel album is right up my alley.

oh yeah, incredibly excited to hear theo parrish's overpriced and possibly badly pressed new album.

after listening to the samples though idk

sorry for liveblogging but this edward album is fucking great, sounds like moebius plank neumeier zero set crossed with parallel dimensions-era theo.

2562 is only so so

i do like that edward album

that lee gamble record is really good

proposal for inclusion itt: morgan buckley's 'shout out to all the weirdos in rathimes'

Has 2014 been the best year for dance albums in recent memory?

*drudge siren* new Reagenz album (AKA Move D and Jonah Sharp) *drudge siren*

composed, arranged and performed live at The Bunker New York 10 Year Anniversary, January 2013 by Jonah Sharp & David Moufang.

the elements: Roland TR 909, Roland TR 606, Roland JX-3P, Roland SH101, Anyware Instruments TinySizer, Nord Micro Modular, Doepfer Dark Time, Akai MPC 1000, Electro Harmonix Memory Man Delay, Moog MidiMurf

That Fact article picked a fairly unexceptional selection of albums to illustrate their point, even if I do quite like the Objekt one.

Not sure why Recondite belongs in the 'doing it wrong' thread. His records sound very much aesthetically correct for the state of 2014 post-minimal.

more the contributors to the thread who are "doing it wrong" than any of the artists discussed, I think?

Nah it's the album format in general that represents wrongdoing.

gotcha

yeah it's the whole enjoying albums at home with your feet up and a mug of cocoa thing - surely not what the belleville three had in mind

I don't go out anymore so this thread is important for my general well being.
Props out to the Call Super and Roman Flugel lp's. Perfect for when I'm sat at home in my fake leather armchair.

xp psyched for the new Reagenz album.

more the contributors to the thread who are "doing it wrong" than any of the artists discussed, I think?

i'm definitely doing it wrong in all respects.

No such thing as doing it wrong, a vibe can be felt on both a hilltop and a valley

holy shit, AOTY?

http://www.delsinrecords.com/release/4636/gunnar-haslam/mirrors-and-copulation

definitely one for the lee gamble fans, and the boards of canada fans too

blissful epic kosmische techno, w/ s.a.w. i + II references

among other things

Yeah, one of the best artists to come out of the immense L.I.E.S. stable.

Also listening to Haslam's XLR8R mix on the ride to work this morning, sounding great in the ice cold November sunshine.

oh word. i really like gunnar haslam. beau wanzer not so much, just based on a few tracks. i always get them mixed up.

i learned a new term today, "8 bar edit". does that just mean someone's edit made out of the intro/first 8 bars of a track?

I think it just means looping a 4bar hook/intro of a pop song just one time (for rough style mixing or a radio edit.)

guys it's payday. what should i get < bro > ON WAX? < / bro >

get the real AOTY

holy shit, AOTY?

― the late great, Friday, November 21, 2014 1:13 AM (Yesterday)

In the story, Uqbar initially appears to be an obscure region of Iraq or of Asia Minor. In casual conversation with Borges, Bioy Casares recalls that a heresiarch (leader of a heretical sect) in Uqbar had declared that "mirrors and copulation are abominable, since they both multiply the numbers of men." Borges, impressed with the "memorable" sentence, asks for its source. Bioy Casares refers him to an encyclopedia article on Uqbar in the Anglo-American Cyclopaedia, described as "a literal if inadequate reprint of the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1902."[1] It emerges that Uqbar is mentioned only in the closing pages of a single volume of the Anglo-American Cyclopaedia, and that the pages describing Uqbar appear in some copies of the work, but not in others.

nice!

deep house not techno but

k15 - insecurities

is sounding very nice rn

the haslam has a funny structure, it gets so panasonicy in the middle that it's like techno ---- extended intermission on a dying space station ---- o a techno album again
