i love Tobin as well. one of the artists that got me into electronic music.

but after countless listenings i just can't find anything that grabs even my attention.

 

edit: talking about ISAM, of course

Heh, it's the first album of his that's really grabbed me off the bat, though I've only ever heard select tracks off his older albums. Never understood the hype until now. It seems most of my favorite albums end up being the ones the majority of fans and critics are lukewarm on, funny enough.

oh man, it's so early.... but man, I HAVE to add something that will most likely be my favorite of the year:

advisory circle - as the crow flies

juv > tim hecker

Got to say I haven't been bowled over so far this year.

I have Heckers Ravedeath but it's not my summer vibe so haven't played it much.

Radioheads King of Limbs is great and I mean to get Fucked Up's newie. But tbh Battles Gloss Drop is a favorite so far.

Surgeon's wax treatment mix and Pinch's RA mix

New Die antwoord

Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee P2

Radiohead - KOL

Two albums I actually paid money for the physical CD.

Everything else has been mining prior years for shit I missed - in particular Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage. Christ what an awesome album.
