This is on the bobbins thread, but many of you would probably enjoy the Answer Code Request album. Pretty straightforward, really satisfying breakbeat techno.

I was doing an ok job of keeping up with this music in the early part of the year but have fallen off. Anyone have any recommendations?

Oh yeah, I was at that. Really good music for wandering around a church to, probably great for doing other things too.

anyone heard the MOIRE album yet?
― the late great, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 02:43 (nine years ago) link
Not strictly techno but the new Vessel album is very cool
― Number None, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 08:20 (nine years ago) link
i'm into the moiré album! giving me galcher lustwerk vibes plus a bit of "what if things actually happened on an actress album"

Loving the Call Super album
― maarten, Thursday, 21 August 2014 20:30 (nine years ago) link
enjoying the MonoInput album from 2012. a lot. has the same impact the Forward Strategy Group album had on me - a kind of Cold War vibe, the romanticism of concrete in winter and numbers stations. feels like it was written twenty years ago or more, but sounds surprisingly fresh for all that.
― ugh (lukas), Friday, 22 August 2014 00:09 (nine years ago) link
Spotify keeps trying to get me to listen to MonoInput

wondering at the similarities between MOIRE and BNJMN

thumbs up on the Ital album
itching to hear the new Roman Flugel, if it's anywhere near as good as Fatty Folders it'll be a treat
― john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:30 (nine years ago) link
it's... good. some very nice tracks. gorgeous and a little showboat-y, maybe a little overstuffed. i don't know, i haven't totally warmed to it for whatever reasons, don't mean to be a downer, it is definitely a lovely listen. the opening track is such a neu! pastiche though, lol, with nothing neu! to add, would rather listen to neu! tbh.
― mattresslessness, Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link
i have my gripes but i think it's satisfying as a roman flugel album.
― mattresslessness, Thursday, 11 September 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link
you have muted my flugel-horn
― john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 11 September 2014 16:04 (nine years ago) link
not really
lol
― mattresslessness, Thursday, 11 September 2014 18:28 (nine years ago) link
loved fatty folders, haven't listened to the new one enough yet, but i think i love it too

my god
moire is so good
― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:16 (nine years ago) link
want to give ghettoville a relisten now
― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:17 (nine years ago) link
probably says more about my lack of knowledge than anything else, but i got a bit of a newworldaquarium vibe off the moire album (this is a good thing obv)
― john wahey (NickB), Friday, 12 September 2014 08:51 (nine years ago) link
As someone who is really into Actress, that Moire album is a million times better than Ghettoville.
― boxedjoy, Monday, 15 September 2014 21:19 (nine years ago) link
new christopher willits is really beautiful indeed, but it is *very* ghostly international - soft sad quasi-ambient music that's as clean as a chrome-legged coffee table.
― john wahey (NickB), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 13:59 (nine years ago) link
have listened to it 2x in a row already at work, and i don't see me stopping anytime soon
― john wahey (NickB), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 14:01 (nine years ago) link
curious about that.
new lee gamble album is so good.
― mattresslessness, Friday, 19 September 2014 02:59 (nine years ago) link
Between Aphex Twin, Call Super, Vessel, and Lee Gamble, is this the month of the high-profile weirdo techno album?
― ed.b, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:19 (nine years ago) link
not really feeling any of these
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:32 (nine years ago) link
not even lee gamble? it sounds amazing imo. like a high-def kassem mosse or something. it's kind of sprawling but there are a few bombs on there. i listened to it after the new shkxkhskh whatever album and it sort of leaped out for being so much more powerful, lol.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:50 (nine years ago) link
i liked the shkxhkshk whatever album too but it's sort of uneven imo.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:51 (nine years ago) link
v, have you heard this?

i picked up each of the first two right when they came out (96 and 98) but had no idea this one was out
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 03:59 (nine years ago) link
first two volumes are like 10 top desert island discs for me
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:01 (nine years ago) link
oh cool. i gotta get the first two. #3 is pretty sweet.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:04 (nine years ago) link
cosign on the lee gamble, didn't expect to dig it, dug it. also that moire album.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Monday, 22 September 2014 04:09 (nine years ago) link
yeah moire is kind of perfect rn, it's grim and subdued upfront but a p fun ride, lots of bounce.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:20 (nine years ago) link
i got the first two up on slsk
― the late great, Monday, 22 September 2014 04:24 (nine years ago) link
vessel record is superb, 'anima' is just stunning
― john wahey (NickB), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 10:52 (nine years ago) link
also loving the moire record. and idk why i had low expectations but the new aphex is really doing it for me too
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
tried to make some techno and i'm pretty certain i did it wrong. forgot to use synthesizers and btw what is techno? https://soundcloud.com/artsextract/calabash-boom-hisarna
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:11 (nine years ago) link
i can probably guess exactly what it's going to sound like but has anyone heard the vatican shadow/function collab yet?
xp ha, I will give that a go later jordan
― john wahey (NickB), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, co-sign Moire as well for what it's worth. Just a minor complaint, I kinda wish the record had a cooler cover.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:18 (nine years ago) link
i was listening to some Patricia this morning and felt dumb for not going to see him in a tiny room here, oh well.
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:34 (nine years ago) link
absolutely love the call super record, think it's really beautiful and dude is on a roll in 2014 (see also his work as ondo fudd). dunno whether it's "weirdo" though, that seems a bit reductive.
― lex pretend, Thursday, 25 September 2014 13:13 (nine years ago) link
some really nice ambient techno from vancouver:

― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:38 (nine years ago) link
had no idea call super and ondo fudd were the same person
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:40 (nine years ago) link
idk why i had low expectations but the new aphex is really doing it for me too
I had low expectations because I hadn't loved anything he put out since the Flow Coma remix. turns out Syro's pretty hot.
have we mentioned Jo Johnson's album Weaving yet? it's great. Sherburne wrote a good review in PF.
― ugh (lukas), Thursday, 25 September 2014 21:57 (nine years ago) link
the lee gamble and call super are both great :)
