Aleksi Perälä - Midnight Sun

https://aleksiperala.bandcamp.com/album/midnight-sun-1

This album deserves its own thread

This is special.

Crazy spastic drum breaks mixed with Colundi microtunings and tribal bongo beats.

A brand new direction (not just for Aleksi, but for music), I’ve never heard anything like it

Please give it a listen, this is wild and beautiful. :)

+1

Definitely my favorite Aleksi release in some time. 

Ok I’ll return from Colundi exile to check this out. Not been blown away from the recent stuff though.

It’s a new thing. You may not like it but it definitely deserves a chance!

mf going wild with bpm on this one

Ok you guys went and made me buy this now.

this is fresh!

I already have so much of his music but he keeps on coming up with new twists. With the insane volume of music he puts out not all of it is great but at his best I'd say he's my favorite electronic musician at the moment.

I was really fatigued by frequency of releases. Have most of his stuff but have barely listened to say Oscillations vinyl.

This seems his most interesting in quite a while though, really liking it. Almost a footwork pattern to some of the precussion.

I'm glad he chose to change it up and try something new. I love the colundi stuff but it was starting to wear thin.

Nice, Aleksi found some inspiration in his kitchen, pots & pans colundi

Not enough variation between the releases equates to “too many” of em’, for my tastes for sure...

Ok he won be back with this one. Lushness all around.

Very odd one, need to listen to it more.

Volume 2 just released now

Hardest working generative algo out there at the moment 

I’m not a producer. Do you think there is truth to this? How much would you say is generative?

It's nonsense.  Music does not produce itself.

must suck to be this guy's girlfriend.

basically 10 ragas to a braindance beat

it's a weird one. like he's working forward and backwards simultaneously.. gonna reach back and connect the streams of colundi and astrobotnia.

i just remember i saw him for that planet mu tour way back w/dmx krew and mike p. at the casbah in san diego.. mike's computer crashed like 30 times. early days of laptop hi jinx.
