the eponymous album from "10-20" is fantastic. fans of electronica ala autechre would totally enjoy it. highly recommanded!

haha shit...maybe ill be the first to listen! i liked runes humaines and alcest etc...i will seek it out

new album from The Field is good

OHHH! Didn't know it was out yet! I love the Field!

Didnt know there was a new one either! FROM HERE... was excellent.

Slangs - Lost EP
Slangs - Upset EP

not even kidding.

so, who's heard nothing people's "late night" yet, its better than "anonymous" i assure you, phenomenal sound.

Awesome record....great reason to buy some real headphones...And the best cover of that Syd Barrett tune, too!

Yes. They are what you say they are. I'm not always sure about this lo-fi thing with them, though, they wear their clothes the right way round naturally.

Their cover of Cracked Actor is great, too, really fat fat guitar sound.

Can someone explain to me the whole The Field phenomenon (like 3 years after the fact)? I mean, I haven't listened to the new one yet, and the first one was okay and all, but I can't imagine anyone who's heard any minimal dance music before going nuts over this guy. It made no sense to me at the time why the indie community suddenly latched onto him, and it still makes no sense to me now.

There's something a bit otherworldly about it to me. It doesn't try too hard to be different, but it is a bit different than a lot of other minimal techno. I dunno. I just like it, I can't speak for any hype attached to it, it just has a good sound to me.

im on the fence about the new skull dekekts record "the temple", its pretty rocking, but i cant tell if it reminds me of tool or not. haha.

it rulz

i gotta hear bastard noise's new four disc set. im not a big fan of them or anything but the idea of 4 discs of noise holding my attention throughout the duration is pretty daunting. ive read reviews saying its pretty damn great ad varied, im not sure i believe it but its interesting enough.

Really enjoying harappian night recordings - glorious gongs of hainuwele. Great psycho folk. Haha. Kinda has a Climax Golden Twins/Sun City Girls
vibe at times.

Adam, I just came across the recent Aidan Baker/Thisquietarmy split. It's okay, but not that much of a mindfuck like the "Orange EP". I was a bit dissapointed.

I love it. I agree it's not as good, but Orange is like my favorite ep of all time, so... it's still my favorite thing of the year thus far. Nothing has really blown my mind at all this year, but I've heard plenty of great things. Ever get the new Blackshaw? It's amazing.

yeah, I see what you mean there. My favourite of 2009 might be either "Cloudz" by Sunroof or "Slnko je vo vezi" by the local band called Kolowrat (i might upload it at a certain time). Both radically kick ass, in their own way.
I have heard the new Blackshaw, but just briefly, throughout the last weekend. the first impression is, I don't like it as much as I did with "Litany of Echoes" cause it didn't seem that coherent and the melodies weren't as strong, but it might grow up on me, so it's possible I'll reconsider.

I dunno if overall it's as good as Litany, but there is definitely a song or two that is better than anything on there. I think the last track could have actually been shorted a bit. But the track RIGHT BEFORE the last track is probably my fav. Blackshaw song.
