Yeah, it was first coined to describe what Total Freedom, Lotic, Rabit, etc were doing. But it's since been absorbed as an influence, reacted against, transformed, etc and is essentially meaningless now.
(which is why I started the misfit club etc thread to bring those different strains of non-techno dance {and non-dance} music that I'm interested in)

should a 2019 thread be made? meaningless beats 2019? or something?

Lorenzo Senni’s hyper-edited earlier stuff is probably the obvious reconstructed version

The other thread isn't technically tied to a year, but I'd be fine with a new one if it's unwieldy (length or concept-wise)? Maybe a fresh start would be nice.

checking out that RAP album
speaking of cross-genre album exercises, still trying to figure out if I like Heavy the Eclipse, the Clouds one
anyone else heard it?

been meaning to listen to the ossia lp
RAP really upped the game on names that are unsearchable on streaming services, huh
guess that is one way to make a bandcamp sale
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:54 (five years ago) link
Ha, that was the only way I could find it (w/the label name). Maybe it's not on streaming services though, there's no way to know.
I was totally stumped the other day after hearing a mix and some tracks by a producer named 'Toni' on NTS the other day. Track names were all generic single words. Couldn't find a soundcloud, twitter, absolutely nothing. Good job Toni.

but yes, the RAP release isn't on anything other than bandcamp afaict

ciderpress, what comic is that? I remember it from somewhere but I'm drawing a blank
dunno i think it's from some locust related record sleeve or merch or zine. it was briefly a meme on SA at some point back in the 00s which is where i have it from

Not sure what genre it falls under but Barker's Utility is great. Where artists like Lorenzo Senni have left me cool, this just hit the right spots. Wish the tracks were longer though, each could be it's own 10 minute exploratory jam.

I might wonder why, after all the fanfare for "String Theory," Mandar's 2017 S/T album never got any attention. Except the reason seems obvious: they gratuitously put it out on five 180g discs. That said, it is classy minimal house at its finest.
