i have to be in a particular mood to listen to SND

Word up! Makesnd Cassette can become one of the best musical experiences ever if you really are in the mood for it.

SND - Atavism

Tim Hecker - an Imaginary Country

Clark - Totems Flare

grizzly bear - vecktamist

alva noto's releases

bibio - ambivalence

makesnd cassette is their best album so far

at first i thought animal collective's new one was really good

but then i heard grizzly bears newest (awsome live show at the pabst from this tour too) and i've read on some other places that they say this album is

but that was before i heard the new megafaun - holy shit

all tiny creatures - also awesome

but now i've downloaded the new single from volcano choir, sounds amazing, this might be the album of the year

 

what is your fav of this year so far?

 

Are any of those albums "electronic"?

 

Sorry guy, no disrespect intended but for real...

 

is the name of the thread 'electronic album of the year'?

 

No but sometimes I think I miss the focus on electronic music.

ok you know what, i just listened to the tracks again but with headphones this time (real good ones - theyre not mine though boohoohoo) and 3 things surprised me:

1- the mastering is pretty good actually - i think it was just my speakers that fucked up the sound

2- the masters are indeed quite similar to the originals. i compared the 2 versions of tokyo rock and the EQ is the same actually

3- the mp3 rip i grabbed is awful! the sounds are saturated a bit. blame the fucker who ripped the album! *shakes fist*

 

to sum up, my apologies, my speakers are shite and some people can't even rip a vinyl properly

seriously man i really appreciate the apology because i was pretty pissed off about your original post, i'm sure you could understand why

6. moderat, moderat

7. jon hopkins, insides

8. william basinski, 92982

9. speck mountain, some sweet relief

10. tim hecker, imaginary country

11. intrusion, seduction of silence

12. sinner dc, crystallized

13. st. vincent, actor

14. clint mansell, moon ost

15. wax stag, s/t

16. clubroot, s/t

17. subway, subway ii

18. jj, jj no. 2

i haven't heard any of these besides the new field record, do you think i might dig any of the others?

The telepathe album certainly had its moments

hey chengod - if you check out the bands i listed, they may be live bands, but they use a hell of a lot of "electronics"

especially volchano choir (members include idm guys such as pressboard and emotional joystick) and all tiny creatures (curtis chip and emotional joystick)

not trying to spam my blog, but i dont want to look for links again - i've got the singles for the new megafaun, all tiny creatures, and volcano choir (man is wisconsin a great place for music)

Both albums from Bibio, Vignetting the Compost and Ambivalence Avenue

Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion

Hannu, Hintergarten

anyone heard the Bill Callahan album? it's definetely top 5 for me

Alaska & Paradox - Isolationist

Steve Roach - Dynamic Stillness

Alva Noto - Xerrox Vol. 2

Silkie - City Limits Volume 1

Wisp - The Shimmering Hour

DMX Krew - Wave Funk Volume 1 (wasn't expecting to love this one as much as i do)

totems flare

wave funk is the only release i've heard this year that has really rocked my wanksock

sailpunk, lol

if you like ghost box records, why not check my fairly shameless homage?
