Is this the thread to talk about the new Rival Consoles?

works for me. I've played it a couple of times but was kinda distracted in both instances. I think I like it?

Just digging in. So far it's a bit "safe" for me. He's always walked a line between the kind of more krautrocky experimental electronics techno that I like (think Border Community) and the kind of pretty easy listening hotel lobby electronics I don't like as much.

Yeah that’s a fair description; I tend to have the same mixed reactions to his work. Actually my favorite recent thing he’s done was a single earlier this year that didn’t wind up on the new album. It’s wobbly, low-key piano piece: https://open.spotify.com/album/46HYCYxZJjjl2DYPnWBCIC?si=OEXyIIMaQymdlLGBVj-2nQ

I'm very generous in my appraisal of post-elevator music of this kind, but with Rival Consoles, it's hard not to expect more. He should throw a wrench into his own formula more often.

Nathan Fakes album in the other hand is killer. People talk about it as his return to techno, I don’t really go to techno clubs much these days but other than having beats don’t see these tracks as club bangers. They’re wonderfully messy krautrock IDM or something.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 8 August 2020 15:58 (three years ago) link
Love the Nathan Fake album so much

anybody feeling the INTe*ra album? I’m a huge Acting Press fan but can’t really get into it for some reasonhttps://www.phonicarecords.com/product/intera-aqueduct-acting-press/165889
― brimstead, Saturday, 8 August 2020 17:01 (three years ago) link
I was definitely not paying attention to the sky was pink era Nathan Fake and James Holden but the stuff those guys, and Luke Abbot and Wesley Matsell have been doing the last few years is pretty great though some go a bit too modular experimental music for my taste.

has there been any discussion of andras' album joyful in this thread? warm, lived-in deep, verging-on-ambient house for headphones.
favs are "honeybird" and "poppy"

"Live Forever" is the one for me off it but it's such a warm, dreamily excellent album

No idea if this is the right thread for it as several tracks feature prominent rapping but Shygirl's Alias EP is the kind of SOPHIE/Arca-adjacent deconstructed club music (bad descriptor but whatevz) that should be right up ILM's collective alley. Here's the Eurodancey closer:

never heard of the artist and the label doesn't ring a bell but excited to listen!

the reason I don't listen to much that challenges me any more is because there's too much stuff that just seems custom designed for me to enjoy
― lukas, Friday, 4 December 2020 23:52 (three years ago) link
maybe that's why i can't get into the new andras album even though i would like to

That Pretty Sneaky LP is pretty amazing, and had it been nominated for the EOY poll would have made my list.
― octobeard, Monday, 18 January 2021 03:46 (three years ago) link
Yeah I probably should have nominated it, I figured no-one else had listened to it...
I only discovered this via Tim F's end of year list, but it's great too: https://boomkat.com/products/pilgrimage-048a244b-2c27-4f51-babc-b0116ddfb77c

yes! so good right? the chanting vocals that come in at the end of “amulet” sound familiar but i’m not sure what they remind me of, maybe something from pure moods

I totally agree! Bizarr is tremendous. Thanks!

i need to go back to that record, i really liked the organizatsiya album last year which i've only just realised is on the same label:

not feeling nu progressive / trance. i wish i liked d tiffany more. maybe i'll fall in love with it a few years late like i do w/ everything else lol. ok this "mtv (reality vocal)" has a nice breakdown.

xp tbh i'm not big on that record. but i do think much of it would sound sick slowed down 25%+
my fav jam from them is in a slower tempo

maybe this should go on the melbourne --> vancouver thread but I really enjoy how this general spiderweb of interconnected artists / sounds manage to take in trance, progressive/early-orbital, hardcore, breakbeats, jungle, basically anything that was going on between 1992 and 1999 (including uk garage at times) in what feels like a quite open-minded / open-hearted way - as if the unifying aesthetic is less some particular sonic brief or even some kind of ideological position other than "wow the 90s would have been a great time to go raving".
― Tim F, Sunday, 28 February 2021 22:49 (three years ago) link
which, tbf, is how I heard that stuff as a baby raver in '98. as far as I was concerned all these separate scenes were part of one single giant scene (sort of a sound multiverse that I imagined in my head at 3am back at someone's place after the party.)
― lukas, Sunday, 28 February 2021 23:16 (three years ago) link
how do we feel about fred again...? i think his new release 'actual life' is just a compilation of singles and ep tracks he's dropped since last year, but it holds together very very well as an album imo. he's great at telling these stories through sample collages, mixing in some really powerful emotion. the beats still knock, too.

Is this the right thread to talk about 9128 style techno? I guess that would be mostly labels like A Strangely Isolated Place, Affin, and Silent Season. I'm really enjoying the newest Toki Fuko release, "Human Design", which is I think coincidentally the one song without spoken word ("coincidence", because I don't mind the spoken word stuff at all).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjtKRdsQqhE
The whole album is kind of hypnotic, contemplative and at times eerie, and kind of feels like it fits into some kind of continuum with Donato Dozzy's "K" and Seraphim Rytm's Aeterna, as albums that can lull me into a slightly disorienting late afternoon nap.
