Has Paula Temple's album done well on year-end lists? I listen to that album a lot.

I was just thinking about that as I started listening to this Karenn album!
uh I may have also caught most of a Paula Temple live set this year and regret not being in quite the right headspace to truly enjoy it. It was... blistering

i didn't recognize it when mentioned but i guess i actually did listen to it earlier this year. i remember it being too… much.

love the new Madteo. Even though I was mishearing the voice as saying "Eccles Cake" rather than "Acting Fake" on Evol On it is still an ace track.

Steve Hauschildt - Nonlin Just perfect chilly night drive Ambient with a side of retro IDM
Rolando Simmons - Summer Diary One ep subtle microtonal squelch

There’s a copy of that Hauschildt album in my local thats pressed on liquid-filled vinyl. Half tempted by it but I didn’t actually enjoy it as much as some of his previous ones. Will give it another whirl though
― Death to (NickB), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 20:40 (four years ago) link
Whoah never heard of that I might have to try to get a copy, id say it’s maybe less of a cohesive album than some of his other ones, but it has some great moments to me. but I love all his stuff.

Ambient A-side, clompy beats on the second that remind me of the gentler Opal Tapes stuff. Apologies if this is the wrong thread, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Not to dissuade you (the more threads the merrier), but svbkvlt/genome would fit great on the 'reconstructed club' thread imo

i've been enjoying the newest aleksi perälä album
― na (NA), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:19 (four years ago) link
The one he released yesterday? or the one from the day before that?
― lukas, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:27 (four years ago) link
ha this is the first thing i've heard from him so didn't know he was super-prolific. i'm referring to "resonance"
― na (NA), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:28 (four years ago) link
It's good yeah.What is the list of super-prolific super-high quality producers whose albums all have a similar aesthetic (music, art, titles)? Aleksi, Autechre, Steve Roach ...
― lukas, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:34 (four years ago) link
I don't think the albums Perälä released as Ovuca or Astrobotnia have a similar aesthetic to his recent material.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 09:25 (four years ago) link
i really liked one of his records from last year, but that was probably ten albums ago now
― ymo sumac (NickB), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 09:35 (four years ago) link
fair, I guess I only got onboard around the Colundi Sequence. Wasn't even aware Astrobotnia was him.
― lukas, Thursday, 6 February 2020 00:12 (four years ago) link
The Astrobotnia records didn't have any credits, and for a while there was a rumour that they were actually produced by Aphex Twin himself, but they were by Perälä. The fact that "Astrobotnia" is a pun on Ostrobothnia, a region in Finland, should've been a dead giveaway.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 6 February 2020 12:21 (four years ago) link
definitely doing it wrong here ... the 20YearsOfOptical comp from a few years back is astounding. at the time the knock on techstep from my friends was how boring it was, haha

This came out in 2016 but I think defo merits inclusion here.

― Corduroy Stridulations (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 17 February 2020 09:39 (four years ago) link
Yeah, this is very nice. I see he dropped an LP last year – is it in the same vein as 'Dungeon'?
― romanesque architect (pomenitul), Monday, 17 February 2020 09:47 (four years ago) link
I've not listened to it I'm afraid. I did listen to a couple of tracks that he released as the much less impressively named buttechno but didn't get along with them too well and wasn't inspired to find out more.
In other exciting news, The Orion Years by Age, from 1994, has just been reissued. It's one of the early releases on mille plateaux and is magnificent

it went in a different direction than I was expecting than the last one! more melodic and chill

While I'm on something very vaguely resembling a roll, I can also suggest Donnacha Costello's Colorseries. I have a very dusty memory of reading that Michael Mayer described this as 'This decade's (2000s) Basic Channel'. Highlights for me being

― neilasimpson, Wednesday, 26 February 2020 11:19 (four years ago) link
i might be wrong tho? maybe i just associate it with the height of the bobbins era, when pretty melodic minimal was king

Feeling the Beatrice Dillon album on Pan even though I'm not normally a fan of IDMish music that's clearly inspired by music that's made for the dancefloor but isn't actually dancefloor-friendly itself
― paolo, Wednesday, 26 February 2020 21:08 (four years ago) link
Lovely artwork too
Yeah that Dillon is excellent, need to spend some proper time with that but there were some stunning moments on first pass. That use of traditional instrumentation in a electronic music context made me think of the recent Floating Points but way more stripped down and spacious instead off being so overloaded with sounds.

"i might be wrong tho? maybe i just associate it with the height of the bobbins era, when pretty melodic minimal was king"
I'm not sure either. I think there's a massive grey area between this thread and the bobbins threads and I'm not sure I totally understand the difference between them. Although I do find that I'm much more likely to find things I like, and that I would be more likely to dance to, and to listen to at home, here. I'd love to hear any of those colorseries tracks in a club but, despite my efforts, haven't ever done so. Same with Basic Channel tbh.
― neilasimpson, Thursday, 27 February 2020 15:45 (four years ago) link
i've heard some pretty sweet dj sets integrating basic channel tracks, including a pretty awesome one by moritz von oswald!
