Favs in bold

Radiohead, Skee Mask and Dj Metatron

I've made an effort this year to slow down on the amount of new music I consume and instead listen a bit more to the music I already have

Lots of unknowns in the preceding posts, need to check them out sometime.

Mine:

Hiroshi Watanabe - Multiverse
Borderland - Transport
Nomad Ninja - Avond Sluimer
Occult Orientated Crime - Just A Clown On Crack
Skee Mask - Shred

Still haven't gotten started on the new Ae.

I honestly haven't listened to too much new stuff lately, but I can tell you that Abbath's self named album and Venetian Snare's Traditional Synthesizer Music are pretty neat.

Michael Pisaro - Asleep, Street, Pipes, Tones

A lot of the ones mentioned above. Gonna add in these:

Pilotredsun - Achievement (no love for this? contender for aoty for me)

Betonkust & Palmbomen II - Center Parcs

Jega - 1995 (well, released this year so I guess it counts)

Konstantin Klem - Steps

Ash Koosha - I AKA I

Ansome - Stowaway

Jameszoo - Fool

Gizmode - Hairhorn

the new Gangpol & Mit

Nurse With Wound - Dark Fat. It'll probably take a few more listens through to pick out all the nuances, but S Stapleton never disappoints.

Andrew Liles - Animal Magick. A kangaroo consulting the Kabbalah? The monkey as Magus? An occult ocelot? All presided over by the reincarnated grand illuminatus that is and was Johnny Morris. Say no more.

Razen & Andrew Liles - Rope House Temper. Ok its a new purchase rather than new, but "AxRub" is breton-pipe/hurdy-gurdy drone alchemy.

Javonntte - The Musical Stylings Of... Deep House isnt too popular here, but dare anyone to cue up "These Words" (ignore the rest) for a Zen-House trance groover. And not bs Trance, hypnotic lo-tempo 4/4 at its v best. Thank the gods that this genre is still going strong.
