Richard_stacy, it would appear that we are musically kindred spirits. From 2011 I would add: Marconi Union - Beautifully Falling Apart (Ambient Transmissions Vol. 1) A Winged Victory For The Sullen - A Winged Victory For The Sullen Harold Budd & Robin Guthrie - Bordeaux Leyland Kirby - Eager To Tear Apart The Stars Nils Frahm - Felt Black Swan - In 8 Movements Antonymes - The Licence To Interpret Dreams Olafur Arnalds - Living Room Songs Dustin O'Halloran - Lumiere Harold Budd - In The Mist Ryan Teague - Causeway Robert Haigh - Strange And Secret Things Dakota Suite & Emanuele Errante - The North Green Down Emanuele Errante - Time Elapsing Handheld Hauschka - Salon Des Amateurs Nicholas Szczepanik - Please Stop Loving Me Olan Mill is releasing Home next week, which promises to be stellar. Limited edition CD of 300 copies. I'd love to hear about some of your favorites. Hopefully others will be exposed to some overlooked and under explored musical genres. Anyone interested in the electronic, ambient, neo-classical musical genres check out Fluid Radio Click on the Channel 1 link for streaming music. BTW, I am also a fan of Rhythm & Sound! |
A couple I have really been enjoying recently and highly recommend: Juju & Jordash "Techno Primitivism" "Staggering new album of fusioneering 'Techno Primitivism' from the A'dam-based Israeli ex-pats, Juju & Jordash. It's fair to call this their debut album proper - following their eponymous set of singles and an early digital collection with this striking mission statement, a mazy and immersive sound distilling elements of dub, jazz and psychedelia in a tactile house and techno framework. It's testament to both their nuanced skills as live musicians and studio boffins par excellence, a mind-melt moire of analogue hardware knowledge and hands-on vibes rendered with a diffuse sense of synthesised space. We could be here all day picking out highlights, but if you're only gonna check a few then the unfathomably wide mixing trickery applied to 'Stoplight Loosejaw' is a great start, as is the Mark Ernestus-meets- Sun Ra vibes of 'Backwash', or the Augustus Pablo-in-Chicago styles of 'Shakshuka Dub', while you can't go wrong with the stoned descent of 'Dr. Strangepork' (great name!) and the pensile, Carl Craig-like Detroit romance of 'Track David Would Play'. It's kinda hard to believe these guys aren't praised more widely, but with 'Techno Primitivism' now out there, we suspect that's about to change. Outstanding." Memotone "I Sleep. At Waking" "Following a slew of 12s, avant beatmaker William Yates has finally rustled up this delicious full length for the Black Acre label. Blending a passion for experimental classical music with a clear understanding of bass music, Yates vision is quite strikingly unique, fitting somewhere between James Blakes pointed piano experimentations, Demdike Stares murky atmospherics and late-period Third Eye Foundation. Yatess talent is finding a connecting thread between the sounds hes obsessive about, and this makes for an an absorbing full length." I couldn't really describe either one so I included the summary from Boomkat.com. I'll just say I concur and love them both. |
Some 2012 releases I'm diggin': Frankie Rose - Interstellar. Ex-Dum Dum Girls hits a home run. Great indie-pop-rock. Animal Collective - Centipede HZ. Not as immediate as Merriweather Post Pavilion but still mighty fine and deep. the XX - Coexist. More of the same but that's a good thing. Santigold - Master Of My Make-Believe. Not nearly as good as her debut but still pretty decent. Corin Tucker Band - Kill My Blues. The one from Sleater-Kinney who is NOT in WILD FLAG. Much improved over her first solo record from a few years a go. Robert Rich - Nest. Ambient masterpiece. Liars - WIXIW. Lots of electronics added to their usual sound. Swans - The Seer. Bombastic beauty that is the Swans. Tame Impala - Lonerism. Been wating for this. Psychedelic rock fans can do much worse than this and their first album. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!. Crescendo-core ala Mogwai meets Stars Of The Lid. Alcest - Les voyages de l'âme. Black-metallers turned shoegaze. Eclipse - Bleed & Scream. Total dirt-rock and throwback to 1987. |
