Lane Visitor Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Anyone have any thoughts? It'd be cool to discover good electronica releases with a similar weird yet hypnotic/repetative vibe that the above releases have. Let's start digging!

ilt17 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hmm there are some tracks on Lego Feet LP which should fit, you may already know it but especially this one on the A side (at 4:26), I find it incredible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJwzeZApLEg It's hard to find something really matching those releases I think (that's why they're good also ;) ) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75414-good-music-similar-to-ab3-ventolin-epremixes-icbyd/#findComment-1870144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Visitor Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ooh, nice! Good find (: You're right, it seems like Richard was so original sounding on those releases, that it's hard to find stuff similar to it. Some truly bizarre (and beautiful) records.

Dragon Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 The Black Dog - Spanners Great for the ICBYD sound. I think there was a WARP promo with a bunch of tracks from both albums. Check out other Black Dog albums for more. Oval - Systemisch Sound design is similar to AB3, but it's wayyyy more abstract. It's more focused on mood than catchy melodies, take it or leave it. Bradley Strider - Bradley's Robot This is AFX, but even the most hardcore fans haven't heard of Bradley Strider. This EP is taken from the same sessions as "Windowsill" from SAW2. Locust Toybox - Scribble Beats This guy is heavily inspired by Aphex, and is crazy about manic melodies and scribbley beats. Check out Felt Crayons and Inkbrush for more. It's all released for free on his website, so check it out! Terry Riley - A Rainbow In Curved Air This is a crazy suggestion, but hey, it's an amazing album. It's electronic jazz from the 70's, with amazing melodies and a similar sound to AB3.

modey Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Gridlock maybe? I'm at work at the moment so can't check youtube for examples but Further is a great album. Big distorted industrial beats over ambience.

awepittance Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 some of the stuff on universal indicator green reminds me a lot of AB3, also Cylob's stuff has a lot of similarity to I Care Because You Do / Ventolin era aphex Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75414-good-music-similar-to-ab3-ventolin-epremixes-icbyd/#findComment-1870522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lane Visitor Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Nice, thanks for the recommendations everybody! That's a good handful of stuff to check out.. Can't believe i havent heard Bradley Strider yet, esp. considering it comes from Richard's SAW II sessions... Love the Cylob mix of Ventolin, I'm sure he has some awesome material as you guys mention, i'll check him and the other artists mentioned too.

ilt17 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Ah I remembered Mark Clifford aka Disjecta, both two releases on warp are worth it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4avmZfk1GH0&feature=related Otherwise yes I thought hard to find but outside of Warp/Rephlex, there's also µ-Ziq of course, the 3 first albums + ep's. A totally unknown swedish project was Aprilheights who released a promo 2x12" in 1995, you can hear samples on their site : http://www.aprilheights.com/ Sounding as what you expect I guess ;) Sadly it didn't reach a proper release and there were also EPs ready, never seen the light of day. Aural Expansion has some similar stuff, small finnish project from early 90's, released a super promo mini album : http://www.discogs.c...n/release/65297 An obscure belgian LP from 93 sounding as good everything stated above : http://www.discogs.c...pe/master/19573 If I remember right Mazdaratti had one or two track following this path. I'd recommend early Marco Passarani things, "22nd century" album, ep's... http://www.youtube.c...&v=UlQb876A-YY# And for an ambient track here's one who eat several from SAW II : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MutrL5oAFXI There were loads of other tracks in mid 90's sampling early AFX elements (kicks, melodies) but nothing really interesting. Have fun digging ;) Edited August 29, 2012 by ilt17 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75414-good-music-similar-to-ab3-ventolin-epremixes-icbyd/#findComment-1870587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilt17 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Cannot edit twice sorry for double post, D'arcangelo bros aliases hide some tasty things from mid 90's, here Monomorph Alternative Fluid nice album : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0F3aPRVzVd0 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75414-good-music-similar-to-ab3-ventolin-epremixes-icbyd/#findComment-1870609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 always got AB3 vibes from jega - spectrum^^ Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75414-good-music-similar-to-ab3-ventolin-epremixes-icbyd/#findComment-1870614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Visitor Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Wow. Great digging guys. I checked out that jega track.. Fantastic stuff. I'm dug The Black Dog so much that I had to buy their album off itunes. I actually picked up one of their recent ones "Further Vexations".. Phenomenal stuff. I've yet to check out Spanners, but looking forward. Anyone a fan cevin key's music for cats album? I almost forgot about that one. A friend burned me the cd a while back.. Pretty sweet stuff. Hard to describe.. Minimal, weird, smooth, glassy, funky, and hypnotic all at once. What it might sound like if windowlicker was turned into a saw 2 peice.
