squarepusher Mid-2012 Top Albums & EPs

Meat Beat Manifesto - Test EP has quickly risen to near the top of the list.

I recommend to add these to your lists:

• Eprom - Metahuman
  
• Rudi Zygadlo - Melpomene
  

Para One - Passion ftw !!!!

I really need to find some recommendations from this thread, I haven't been excited by anything musically since early May

Edited July 8, 2012 by YELLOW

Carter Tutti Void - Transverse

Daniel Menche - Guts

Frog Pocket - Frog & The Volcano

Helm - Impossible Symmetry

Robert Hampson - Repercussions

I think the only album from 2012 I've bought is Olafur Arnald's Another Happy Day... and it's quite quite beautiful.

This is a great one

 

Rat Faced Boy - Lonesome Road

Good tip! Reminds me a bit of Telefon Tel Aviv

Brothomstates - Claro/Qtio = classic IDM I should have bought a long time ago

ASC - Out of sync = nice varied album with some slick production and excellent percussion programming

Atom TM - Winterreise = a follow on from Liedgut, not had time to absorb this one but up to the usual Schmidt standard

Lon E - Galaxy Garden = nice and uplifting if a little Rustie wannabe in some places

Sogar - Basal = excellent microtonal glitch album. highly recommended for the Noton fans

Lusine ICL - Iron City = quality although not mind blowing is still worthwhile

Com Truise - Cyanide Sisters (reissue) = cool

Lexaunculpt - Blurring of Trees = a very listenable and pleasant glitch album

oops I though I was reading 'a few albums recently listened too' thread but some of these are 2012 anywayz

Aesop Rock - Skelethon
