Latest compact disc purchase.

Peverelist - Tesselations
(quintessential leftfield techno)

Jack Rose - Two Originals of Jack Rose
(lovely fingerpicked beauty from the late maestro whose synthesis of acoustic folk blues and Indian ragas feels more sincere than most guitarists not named John Fahey)

*Anthony "Shake" Shakir - Frictionalism 1994-2009 (Very comprehensive but not 100% exhaustive compilation of the first 25 years of the recorded output of a previously more overlooked luminary of Detroit's techno and house scenes)

*Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels (The second album by the Scottish band I adore whose consistency is the only musical group to surpass that of Autechre, where their trademark sound started forming. Forty years old and remains altogether lovely, if somewhat overlooked in comparison to much of their material from after this point)

*Iglooghost - Neo Wax Bloom (Debut full length of one of the most idiosyncratic figures in the world of dance related musical styles, this album is very polarizing)

*Hovercraft - Akathisia (Space rock adjacent experimental noise rock from a band featuring a woman who is unfairly often better known for being Eddie Vedder's exwife)

*Savvas Ysatis - Highrise (Late 90s techhouse blueprint from a Greek producer more often associated with his ambient works and collaborations with 12k label boss Taylor Deupree, overdue for a critical reappreciation)

*Stars of the Lid - Avec Laudenum (One of my favourite albums by the Texan ambient drone maestros)

*Can - Stuttgart 1975 (One of the three recent official releases of live Can material from 1975, divided into 5 different pieces, one of which is almost 36 minutes long, absolutely mindbending stuff for the krautrock devotee)

Purchased the whole Khost (main) discography while ago from Cold Spring sale + one they hadn't from discogs. Had these on digital, but felt they were so much special that would like to also have a physical copy. Escpecially Buried Steel has been in regular rotation after its release. And Copper Lock Hell simply just slams hard.

Worth for this one alone:

Humanoid - Sweet Acid Sound

Lieve | Holy Other (bandcamp.com)

MMXXII | nebulo (bandcamp.com)

Alva Noto — Kinder der Sonne (Noton)

Ryuichi Sakamoto — 12 (Milan)

And some Godflesh to complete my GF collection (Where's the spoiler button ?)

Yes

edit : And I received a nice Bernard Sticker with it

Dan Curtin - The Web of Life (an excellent mix of different tunes by this often overlooked techno master, prime 90s Peacefrog dopeness)


Joey Beltram - Places (rock solid techno from one of the finest to ever do it, a Tresor classic which is almost thirty years old. great article about the making of it here: https://medium.com/12edit/joey-beltram-places-story-behind-the-album-9503f9df934e )



Stars of the Lid - Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid and Gravitational Pull vs the Desire for an Aquatic Life (two great albums by one of my favourite bands, of whom a member has recently passed far too soon)

The Bats - Silverbeet (just some classic New Zealand indie rock/jangle pop on legendary Flying Nun Records, from Dunedin)

Drexciya - Harnessed the Storm (It's Drexciya, nuff said. And I honestly love the new artwork, much less tacky than the original imo)


Steve Bicknell - Lost Recordings: The Collections (almost 80 minutes of music by one of the UK's finest techno producers)

Went a little manic and got a ton of techno:

Riou: To-To, Room for Improvement, Exhibition of the Samples, Cone of Confusion, Pops
Unit Moebius: Disco, Work, Status,
Neil Landstrumm - Brown by August
Surgeon - Communications
Titonton Duvante - Voyeurism

and a few things by a band new to me who I love, Ganger:
Hammock Style, Fore, With Tongue Twisting Words

and what may be my favourite Herbie Hancock album, Mwandishi
