After downloading few from the lists I'd say Atom TM's Winterreisse and Ital's Hive Mind are some of my favorites now. I need to start paying attention to Planet Mu also, I guess.

 

Also nobody mentioned senking's Dazed? I noticed I had missed that too and got it also. Pretty good.

Try the more ambient one by AtomTM: Cold Memories. It's amazing. http://www.discogs.com/Atom-Cold-Memories/release/3352443

I gotta add to my list:

Metric - Synthetica

Sebastien Tellier - My God Is Blue

Clams Casino - Instrumental Mixtape 2

Gervin in B Minor, from the new album by James Bevan:

In no order, I think:

Leila- U&I

Last Step- Sleep

Venetian Snares- Affectionate

Venetian Snares- Fool the Detector

NHK'Koyxen- Dance Classics Vol. 1

Richard Devine- RiSP EP

Qebrus- Exophobia

Squarepusher- Ufabulum

Meatman- Quartz

The Host was decent. Stade 2 is from 2011.

Matthew Friedberger - Artemisia

That's it. Still haven't listen to Lorn's new album, and I need to listen to Gonjasufi's MU.ZZ.LE a few more times.

Albums

Thomas Köner - Novaya Zemlya

Smallpeople - Salty Days

Shifted - Crossed Paths

Singles

Todd Terje - It's the Arps

Vatican Shadow - Iraqi Praetorian Guard

Conforce - 24

fuck how do you guys listen to/afford that much music?

All I've got is Death Grips - The Money Store. I guess R.I.P. gets #2 by default.

I guess lately I've been listening to a ton of Youtube hipster chillwave stuff, like hundredollars and Daytime Television and bodygod, so I haven't been listening to albums as much, or really any music on legit record labels.

Drape Me in Velvet by Musette is a nice one that I haven't seen mentioned.

what's the best one you heard this year??

i'm still continuing to understand more about them with every listen, as i do with any musics, new or old. music is like anything else, the moment you say you know everything there is to know about it, is the moment you fall.

i can't pick the favorite. those are my favorites

no love for parastrophics?

I'm surprised in you!

Some people just have a different idea of what favorite means lol.

oh for sure, I just meant like.... judging on going back and forth with him in the "rate the music the person above you is listening to" thread I thought parastrophics would have been right up his alley!

i've been wanting to make time to listen to 'parastrophics' and have continuously forgotten. i've also forgotten to mention the 'mohn' which i've enjoy quite a bit. as i've mentioned, given the sheer volume of music that i filter through, it is sure that there are several musics that were misplaced or forgotten.

if i was contractually obligated to pick favorite this very moment, i would choose r.i.p

I hope you are able to make time for it and hope that you enjoy it.

I'll give r.i.p a listen based on your recommendation.

Cheers!
