ghostfact + bbng - black magic soul

bruce synthsteen - synth in the usa

aesop roxie - the blind album

james xox - new rainbow sawngs

bjorn - volcanoes

the impala game - black currents

I almost bought the Ghostface LP today. Worth a purchase? I'm increasingly in love with instrumental hip hop.

I bought other stuff instead but saw it in the HMV (generic UK music store that happens to be stocking shit loads of great new vinyl now) and was tempted.

It's not great, Ghost sounds bored on it. Instrumental version would be better choice.

Forgot my friend's new tape, it's excellent!!

Roslyn Steer - Still Moving

Fantastic drone, very talented lady :)

I had to post this as no one else has. The whole album was made on a Buchla Music Easel and a couple of pedals.

 

He has a new album coming in September too.

 

Donnacha Costello - Love From Dust

 

This is a Buchla Music Easel:

 

I've been listening to that record on repeat since you mentioned it. This is some of the lushest beatless music I've heard in a long, long time. And I've already pre-ordered his upcoming LP, the 2 preview tracks are stunning. Thanks again mat!

Oh, and have you guys listened to Main Attrakionz's 808's & Dark Grapes III (released earlier this year)? Some of the finest hip hop I've heard in a while. Kind of the same futuristic, electronic vibe as G-Side's Starshipz and Rocketz (a personal favorite).
