"“ this thread is for albums, the bobbins thread is for tracks”
I don’t think this was ever the case tbh"
I think I'd always thought of the bobbins threads as for kinds of music that I might actually hear in clubs, whereas this thread is for music that I'd like to hear in clubs, and that would probably work really well in them, but more than likely wouldn't get played (which makes my posts about Donnacha Costello look a tad awry in retrospect). I think this thread is more dancefloor specific than being for electronica generally. I probably wouldn't post about autechre here, although they are clearly related to techno. I would post about Mouse on Mars. I no longer go to clubs.

Still blown away by Nathan Micay's album from last year, Blue Spring. Has a good deal of diversity but still feels like a world unto itself. Something to get lost in. Here's the title track:

ERP's Exomoon is an electro belter. More than likely good on dancefloors in some parts; 101% excellent at home.

It's probably best to avoid leaving the house in order to listen to Yagya's Rhythm of Snow, on Force Inc. originally

Actually, that Yagya record isn't anywhere near new. Do we need a separate thread for Rolling techno* albums thread for people who have previously been clearly doing it wrong (or have I missed that somewhere)?
― neilasimpson, Wednesday, 4 March 2020 19:14 (four years ago) link
As a perennial electro dilettante, I tend to find one or things a year I like that scratch the itch for me. The Beatrice Dillon one is the one for me so far this year, I've had it going on a loop all week. Perfect music to work and write to.

Belated cosign for the Beatrice Dillon. It's making me think of some Hessle Audio and other things I can't quite place: possibly Steve Reich, Dawn of Midi. I can't quite make out how it's made.

So do I post about Traumprinz here or in the bobbins thread? I feel he's perhaps a bit borderline between the two

Is there a new Traumprinz?!?!?

Another shout out for the Soela LP. Nothing groundbreaking but flows very nicely and deep as f**K.

I’ve listened to the Beatrice Dillon Workaround album a few times in the background a fee times since it came out and latched on to a few moments but today I gave it a go on headphones and it cracked wide open for me and it is sosososososo good, like my favorite thing this year so far.
― i am a horse girl (map), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 03:58 (three years ago) link
Like, lowkey just reinventing dub techno and creating the most funky, danceable beats ever made at 150 bpm and being very cool and casual about it
― i am a horse girl (map), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 04:07 (three years ago) link
new yaeji mixtape belongs in the thread. poppy technoid goodness thru & thru.

Though it's more juke/jungle/jezebel beat focused. But who knows which thread is the right one lol
― octobeard, Wednesday, 22 April 2020 22:21 (three years ago) link
i think someone mentioned that Soela LP upthread? i'm digging "It's Around Us, It's Everywhere", "Power of Mind" and "Hold On" for club play, should club play ever be a thing again.

*weeps quietly*
Workaround is improvisational in a way but there’s a fine tuned push and pull between the way the music is constantly opening up and the technical mastery of reduced sound. I’ve been reaching for some way to describe how exquisite I find listening to a musical language that is this open ended, constantly alive thing that is also kind of “hidden” in the sense that detail and dimension are hiding in plain sight and always revealing themselves, unexpected but humble - beautiful. In that sense it reminds me of laughing stock by talk talk which is an otherwise weird thing to compare it to.
― i am a horse girl (map), Thursday, 23 April 2020 00:06 (three years ago) link
Yeah Workaround is one of those things that is so well produced that its quality helps to enhance its overall vibe significantly by making those spacial qualities that much more engaging. Big ups to James Rand and Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering.
― octobeard, Thursday, 23 April 2020 21:12 (three years ago) link
Good takes. Workaround is great. I didn't realize it was polished up at Dubplates & Mastering. That place turns out so much great work. Wasn't familiar with James Rand but he and Rashad Becker have good ears huh.

I’m on record as having bought new albums and reissues particularly due to D&M being involved!

i feel partially responsible for the confusing cross pollination between this thread and the reconstructed thread but I’ll further it by cross posting the hodge record here. The hodge record — so good!

I'm sure she's been discussed somewhere, but if you haven't checked out the Loraine James from last year, I really recommend doing so. The album just ... breathes really well. Favorite tracks probably So Scared and Sensual.
