I’ve been off work the last eleven days and I’ve been listening to all sorts of stuff, believe some of you will enjoy this side of a mixtape:

NIL - Content Metastasis #1 Mixtape (unbridged)......29:15 minutes

Starts off a little, meh......quickly morphs into something spectacular:

S R T V - The Future Mix

Can anyone recommend something similar to Tim Hecker's Harmony in Ultraviolet or An Imaginary Country?

I've listened to all his records and like/love most of em, but those two in particular. I tried a Ben Frost album but wasn't too enamoured - maybe it was the wrong one?

AURORA is the Ben Frost album to listen to.

I’ve been given shit here before about it by cooler-than-thou pissants who don’t know shit. It’s a great, caustic, calamitous, noisy polar vortex of an album that just fucking sucks you right in. It’s the best thing he’s done, and one of the few things about 2014 that didn’t suck.

Definitely a similarity or two to be found between AURORA and the Hecker records you mentioned, though YMMV.

Hopefully that’s not the one that didn’t do it for you.

Thanks, that's not the Frost album I'd heard - looking back I think it was Solaris. Didn't have that noisy, hazy sound of the Hecker records, which is maybe to be expected as it's more of a "conceptual" album I guess. It was pleasant enough but wasn't really what I was after...

AURORA sounds more promising, thanks!! I'll throw it on today.

The thread of melody is a bit more difficult to find than with Hecker. And the noise is pretty extreme at times. It really sounds like someone just going the fuck to town on a giant instrument he made in his metal shop.

But it’s pretty goddamn glorious if you’re into that kind of thing. There are these little moments of clarity that blossom out of the noise and make for a really thrilling listen, in my opinion.

Hope you like

I missed this then, but: https://www.factmag.com/2019/02/01/a...ings-released/

Goddamn Booth and Brown certainly love overkill.

Takes a while for these sorts of albums to fully "sink in" but I've listened to AURORA a lot recently, particularly while working. I like it a lot, so thanks! Much more akin to what I was looking for than the other album I'd heard by him.

Also saw in the Swans thread that Ben Frost is going to be on their upcoming album. Pretty cool.

:o :o :o

Ffffffuck.

!!!

Hey Snooperian, Holly Herndon's new album features Jlin on one track, "Godmother", and you can hear it via Bandcamp right now:

Also, why are you "embarrassed" that Frost is gonna be on the new Swans album? (Not that I care about Swans, really). Did you choose the wrong smilies? Or is it because you hadn't read about it before? If it's the latter, yeah, no shit, you missed Skuj's post from March 4. Goddammit man, we work hard over at the "Best new/most anticipated" thread! Which you started! Fuck you, Snooperian!

Hey, this album features Lambchop's Kurt Wagner. Why didn't you say so? :)

Yup, on “Muddy Funster.”

Is that what I had to say to get literally anyone to listen to my Koze recs after six years of posting them?

Yah, I didn’t know about it, ‘cha cunt.

See, this is how one replies to an evidently humorous post. :cool: Positively positive-repped.

A bit on Fennesz's Agora on Bandcamp Daily:

well, shit. finally i find this fucking thread, 3 pages late

recommend me some lounge music?

something that won’t rattle my nerves or destroy my libido (any further, lmao)

srsly something mellow like thievery corporation used to be

Dunno bout lounge per se but Bonobo is mellow.

that is a horny monkey and the name bodes well

will check and report back

thanks!

It’s not Thievery Corporation (nothing is)

rob garza: bad hombre?

“he looks messican to me”
“he’s actually from maryland”
“send him back anyway”

damn... that’s fucked up...

im liking it... más música por favor

Caribou - “Our Love”

lemme look...

I'm more of a Swim kinda feller myself. That is one great fuckin' album.

Holy shit, I just saw that Caribou Vibration Ensemble Featuring Marshall Allen is available for a name-your-price via Bandcamp!

https://caribouband.bandcamp.com/alb...marshall-allen

so i tried that one a bit and it grated my soul hahaha. kinda like most of old disco music used to have this “empty” feeling. i don’t know how to explain.

bonobo i like when the dude doesn’t sing. i’m firmly of the school that most dudes should shut up and play their instruments lmao. leave the singing to the special ones.

—

swim is coming along ok. not really loving it but letting it play a bit. has some interesting stuff. maybe a twinge of an industrial edge.

Hmmmmmmphhh


You need to learn to appreciate the vocal sample in electronic music.

DI Koze - Track ID Anyone?

And

Superflu - Jo Gurt (DJ Koze remix)


^ peep them shits

the good sample (e.g. little fluffy clouds) not the bad sample (whoever guys boring ass voice in it)

—

eta: any leonard cohen or nick cave samples anywhere you know of? now that...

404 file not found!

But hopefully Floating Points is on there way up high.
And Special Request, Anthony Naples, Blanck Mass, Plaid, HTRK (kinda?), Telefon Tel Aviv, Torn Hawk, Com Truise, Fennesz, Thom Yorke, Kornél Kovács, etc.

Dunno, but I love that Caribou album.

Did you listen to DJ Koze’s Amygdala yet? I forget

You know, "gastropub" sounds like something they had to jam in your intestines to contain an ulcer or summat ANYWAY check this out, from Bandcamp Daily:

Kode9 Walks Us Through the Last Five Years of Hyperdub

Try this:

Wow that’s kind of a crap list to be honest. Several of those are literal pop albums with some electronic production.

Missed a lot of really good shit.

Do you know if any of those -pop albums- would be considered, vapor wave? I’ve been seeing vapor wave mentioned a great deal this past year, but I’m not sure exactly what defines the genre?

I’m pretty sure I haven’t heard any vapor wave that I care for, but I could be doing it all wrong???
