Boards of Canada 10-20 - Magnet Marsh

"Magnet Marsh' is a record of electronic music that is not afraid to be so. It still bumps, of course, but when it does it's free of the need to dress up in the latest fashions and beg you to join it. It doesn't care if you do or don't. It just bumps. And where there is soporific Boards of Canada balm, it's spiced with the twitchy brew of Lenky; if chills of deeply unfashionable turn of the century IDM creep in, they're warmed by fat sunkissed synths and then drizzled with 'Vespertine' sound design; when delicate Susuma Yokota-style ambience soothes, the bassy thump of a distant 808 simultaneously emboldens.

As such, 'Magnet Marsh' makes no apologies for the the music it delineates. It asks that you don't either. It just asks that you listen to it free from hype, shorn of prevarication.

It thinks that if you do, you'll like it, though ultimately whether you rate it for all sorts of culturally bagagged reasons or you understand it as it hopes you might, it's good either way."

I was listening to this yesterday, it`s pretty good. http://store.broken2...um/magnet-marsh

he makes really great sounds. we've been following for few years now

I must admit I love a lot of this label's output but I'm not as into this album. The Isodyne release, however, is one of the best things I've heard in forever. Cannot get enough of that.

so i'm on first play through this and am very pleased. the little melodic details in these tracs are sweet sounding. the whole mood is very satisfying to me, falling in-between

several styles of musics which i enjoy

i'll have the listen to this.

very cool stuff, the label 10-20 is on now however is inferior to his last label, Highpoint Lowlife. In my strong opinion 10-20 is probably the most interesting 'out of the box' artist on the new label.

Go 10-20!

warm, tender, dark, sluggish, soulful, this release is fantastically underrated. i'm amazed at how many musical pleasure points 10-20 hits. his sounds are reminiscent of an entire collection of artists, yet at the same time its listen is entirely unique.
