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

hah, I was referencing The Locust last week

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

ah, that makes sense

lyra valenza - reality blizz (opal tapes)

after living inside the ambient poll for a while it’s a lovely shock to remember that yes, i do like to be X-CITE-D

New Young Marco is exceptional to me on the pseudo fourth world mallets bamboo and dx7 tip.

the pseudo fourth world mallets bamboo and dx7 tip

this really should be its own bin card in every record store

oh sweet, biology is one of my favorite albums this decade

I agree, Paul

I also want a “fender Rhodes and bongos” section

my standard eye catcher was always "handclaps, accordion and theremin"

the best dance reviews are the capsule blurbs on hardwax

lol rong thread

rong thread but otm

i wasn't sure if my lyra valenza rec belonged in this thread lol and here i am coming to post another thing i am unsure about

i know the phrase 'brooklyn techno' could cause eyerolls or worse, but lately things have been a lot more chill here thanks in so small part to acemo

So that Octo Octa record, any good?

It’s great. Being discussed on her own Thread
Octo Octa &c

aha, thanks, a classic "people who are clearly doing it wrong" move!

everyone listen to topdown dialectic

somehow I missed the first topdown dialectic album until the new one was announced

now I must say: listen to Brad. it's good

octo octa is great btw

new baltra album is good house* album

I dunno if it counts as * or when it came out but this NHK yx Koxyen "Doom Steppy Reverb" is ~~✓¥∆~~

I implore you to check it

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.

yeah otm really nice but way too short

Yeah 'Utility' is a great work album

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.

idk really where this goes but it's great and has Mark Fell on it: https://33-33.bandcamp.com/track/oglon-day-1

another one: https://tomaga.bandcamp.com/track/bandiera-di-carta

Does Anthony Naples's Fog FM count? It's pretty damn good.

I much preferred his last one, with the memorable Midnight Cowboy sampling interlude and I can't remember the name of it!

actually it sounds p dope, just haven't listened to it much.

Take Me With You was the previous one

that's the one, it went missing when my last pc died

i love fog fm; amazing album. I should try Take Me With You for sure!

has anyone heard this Afrodeutsche album Break Before Make out on Skam? i copped one track, HIAEA, that's growing on me.

An enjoyable trip-hoppy throwback with environmental overtones:

building bridges is so good

Check out the Tribe of Colin album on Honest Jon's. Minimal repetitive tracks that sound like they're all made with hardware (I don't care whether producers use hardware or software but still) and get gradually more fucked as they progress. Some of it's the kind of outsider house/techno that sounds like it could be on LIES, some of it's more dubby and some of it's more grimey. RIYL Actress, Hype Williams

Lovely packaging too

Apparently he preps parts, puts them in the SP-404 (which is not known for its quantization), and records live takes. That's a cool way of doing things, especially since that machine is so associated with post-Dilla/lo-fi hip hop beats (almost makes me wish I wasn't selling mine).

Tribe of Colin album is indeed great. Thanks for the heads up!

Listening to samples of the new Shanti Celeste - looks like she's got this album thing sewn up. Recommended.

omg hell yeah, i love her

‘sesame’ off that shanti celeste record is really hitting the zones

a bit UKG i guess
