I feel like you could really go to town on some of the electronic albums of the intervening years - Burial, Darkstar, Forest Swords, Actress, Galcher Lustwerk, Andy Stott, Jam City etc but it's like shooting fish in a barrel at this stage.

let’s do itlet’s go to town

i agree w 6 of those 7 btw
galcher lustwerk has an album?
― marcos, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:18 (five years ago) link
i think he has like five at this point if you count the side projects
― the late great, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:18 (five years ago) link
http://galcherlustwerk.bandcamp.com/album/dark-blissi was into the first few singles (esp i neva seen and the one w “tape 22” on it) but i’m pretty over it now

Arca - literally everything he's recorded that hasn't been with Bjork, and at least half of the Bjork stuff as well
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:21 (five years ago) link
my feeling about arca has always been a very strong sense of idgi
― the late great, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:24 (five years ago) link
galcher lustwerk is from my hometown so i'll have time for him, though i guess not enough to know he put out an album
the burial debut was interesting but i'm amazing anyone cared after that
i also don't get arca, borderline unlistenable imo

Logos - Cold MissionMumdance - Twists & Turns
Hell, anything they briefly tried to sell as 'grime' before everyone remembered what it was.
The entire discography of Jon Hopkins, Daniel Avery, most of Caribou etc.

burial had a hot streak until 2013 when it all started to sound rather samey

This is making me sound crankier than I am and tbh I like pretty much everything that isn't tepid 6music indietronica and screwfacey IDMised versions of actually exciting genres.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:33 (five years ago) link

boards of canada - campfire headphaseboards of canada - tomorrow's harvest

there is a lot of bad mumdance and the grime angle of logos is definitely oversoldbut i will go to bat for mumdance & logos “different circles” mixit is on apple music and spotify, give it a listen if you like heavy ambient, you won’t be dissapointed

i heard this new Orb single the other day and jfc my toes haven't uncurled yet

i thought of clark too ... he reminds me of that part in amadeus ... “too many notes”

I don't mind Hopkins, but the only thing he did I love was the King Creosote collaboration.
― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:38 (five years ago) link
a lot of the idea of overrated is about being annoyed by the garrulous "seen the light" hypecitement of people first jumping onto a perceived new thing whereas when you come across stuff in the middle of a big mix of all sorts of other stuff it can be perfectly pleasant and enjoyable
― hepatitis groan (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:38 (five years ago) link
I don't mind Hopkins, but the only thing he did I love was the King Creosote collaboration.still not entirely sure what his contribution was there.
― lana del boy (ledge), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:39 (five years ago) link
avery is pretty popular right? "song for alpha" what a terrible album name.
i'm gonna say the new errorsmith album. i want to hear the influences more than the cerebral take on them.
― you bet, nancy (map), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:41 (five years ago) link
Jon Hopkins is fine and perfectly enjoyable as a sort of candyfloss background music but it's a mystery how he got so big (massive adverts on the Tube, glowing broadsheet reviews) when he's essentially rehashing the sort of thing Stefan Bodzin was rehashing from James Holden over a decade ago.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:41 (five years ago) link
YES
― the late great, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
I agree with the Jon Hopkins thing, it's good but I'm surprised it's so huge.
Logos - Cold Mission
This still sounds great imo. And Jam City. And Forest Swords. And Burial for that matter, even if he's influenced a lot of questionable stuff.
Arca's recent s/t is my favorite thing of his since his early EPs/mixtapes.

yea I don't think I've ever really liked a FlyLo album. god knows I've tried
BOC seem like the right answer here, ooooh its fuzzed out and creepy and I guess that's kinda neat but I gotta go with the normie opinion that it's all about "Roygbiv"
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:16 (five years ago) link
boc are good if the idea of the soundtrack to "the changes" played backwards and combined with numbers stations sounds like a good idea to you
it sounds like a good idea to me
― Arch Bacon (rushomancy), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:19 (five years ago) link
Good ones.
I still think FlyLo has a distinctive thing and makes records worth listening to, but yeah his persona has been a bummer.
I've never heard of Galcher Lustwerk.
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:20 (five years ago) link
BoC never really did it for me.
I like Tomorrow's Harvest, but it's fair to put it on here. It evokes very specific emotions for me, even though it doesn't really have a lot going on.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
Fennesz - Endless Summer. Just never saw the appeal even tho the descriptions of it sounded all up in my alley.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:29 (five years ago) link
is Tomorrow's Harvest overrated? apart from the publicity launch hoohah i thought it was poorly regarded by BOC fans and kind of indifferently received by the real world
for me it's a classic and possibly their best LP? as moodles says, "evokes very specific emotions", might not be technically that innovative but has a great deal of conceptual and emotional clout
― umsworth (emsworth), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:43 (five years ago) link
i like that one Jon Hopkins song a lot, Open Eye Signal. The music video probably makes it work for me a lot better though tbh.
― omar little, Thursday, 10 May 2018 21:18 (five years ago) link
tomorrow's harvest does indeed evoke very specific emotions for me. mostly listening to it makes me want to kill myself.

I feel like there's some weird calls on Ross' list - I have really fond memories of Herbert's Around the House, Bodily Functions and even 100 Lbs, but haven't listen to them for years (maybe they've aged really badly?). Blondes first two albums are dope. Matmos have done some great stuff, and Talabot's fin I could see people perhaps being less than enthused about, but I'm not sure it deserves to be listed as overrated.
― MikoMcha, Thursday, 10 May 2018 22:34 (five years ago) link
100 lbs is the besy herbert imo!
