Music similar to Tim Hecker's

I second Belong's October Language. Kinda shoegazey, and from what I've heard belong's newest album is even more shoegaze (and less Tim Hecker).

Btw, I thought there was a thread similar to this one ("music similar to [...]" or something) in which vhs head and com truise were mentioned, and someone said something about an artist using a lot of sidechain compression and I was about to check that out but I didn't and now I want to read that thread but I can't find it and and and... Anybody got an idea?

Fennesz+Sakamoto>Tim Hecker

Agreed. Flumina is such a beautiful album which I constantly re-visit. Don't want to change the direction of the thread but here are my favourites from that album:

everytime someone plays me a Tim Hecker track they love it always reminds me that Zoviet France was doing this style better and more provocatively 15 years before.

womp womp but yes I agree. It's almost shocking how underrated they are given how much output they have.

i give the boomkaters and the pitchforkers about 3-4 years before they start worshipping Zoviet France and Scorn like they do with Cluster, Conrad Schnitzler and Coil

it will happen, its just on delay. By then we'll see plenty of Scorn and ZF reissues and probably a boxset or 2. Unfortunately when that happens any piece of Zoviet vinyl you'll find will be $200

i think you guys will also dig this band, Salamander. More ritualistic themed than Hecker or Fennesz but really fucking good

Some Fred Frith can be in this vein (but his output is really really varied, and obviously a lot of his stuf with John Zorn or on Tzadik is more ummm avant garde):

yo yo yo yo

i'm with you on that, it seems like the time is ripe now what with a lot of ZF-ish contemporary music (such as tim hecker) gaining momentum coupled with the interest in reissues these days.

personally, it'd be lush to get my hands on affordable reissues since as it stands ZF releases, especially vinyl, can be prohibitively costly on the second hand market. (but you're right, then we'll never be able to afford the originals!)

anyway, I second the ZF recommendation here and also add another shamefully underrated band: lovesliescrushing. their stuff from the 90s is a clear precursor to stuff like tim hecker, imo

some kevin greenspon maybe?

Forget everything James Ferraro has done in the past couple of years (it's poor) but this is still great:

Lawrence English - Kiri No Oto

i have to second this album especially. it has a sound that is very close to tim hecker's 'trademark' wooly melodic bits, with just the right amount of distortion and harmonic coherency as Tim Hecker's most interesting stuff imo. be checkin.

also some stuff by part-time watmmer lullezucht can have similar sound-quality...:
