trying to think of other electronic albums that work as mixes in their own right- there is obviously the Villalobos Fabric mix of his own material, as well as Omar-S. The (excellent, under-rated) i:Cube album M:Megamix record springs to mind as well.

confessions on a dance floor is basically a continuous mix

unexpectedly i enjoyed the helena hauff album much more than her previous 12s

The (excellent, under-rated) i:Cube album M:Megamix record springs to mind as well.

Just to be clear this was both an album and a record, available in the CD and double vinyl formats.

I think there are a lot of these, just to name a few off the top off my head:

Donato Dozzy - K
Voices from the Lake - Voices from the Lake
L.S.G. - Rendezvous in Outer Space
L.S.G. - Singles Reworked (this is a great example of how to make your "greatest hits" album into an interesting new work, Lieb has remixed his old singles and presents them as a nice continous mix)
Vapourspace - Themes from Vapourspace
Air Liquide - Nephology
Innerzone Orchestraa - Programmed
Microglobe - Afreuropamericasiaustralica
The Dark Side of the Moog ‎- The Evolution of the Dark Side of the Moog (another "greatest hits as mix" compilation)
DeepChord feat. Echospace ‎- Liumin

etc.

Tuomas, Friday, 18 December 2015 09:30 (eight years ago) link

thanks! do any of those come as particularly highly recommended? Innerzone Orchestra will be good I suppose?

Oh and Kraftwerk - The Mix, of course!

This Nozinja album is brilliant by the way, would happily listen to multiple albums' worth of this.

Matt DC, Friday, 18 December 2015 10:22 (eight years ago) link

fucking love levon's album. up there for me with like burger/ink for home/travel listening albums centered around 4/4 kick.

versus a mix i like having a track i don't always want to hear in there like "small whole-numbered ratios" bc it can be skipped without ruining anything but also makes me think yeah i feel you levon...

how do y'all feel about the dj richard album? i thought it was good w/ some misses. i liked the flow and general vibe.

btw i love this record

the other week i alternated it with a bunch of death metal records and they seemed to share a swampy quality

HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Monday, 21 December 2015 15:48 (eight years ago) link

also, the nozinja record!!!!!

Track one of the A Pleasure album is called Durutti Gottsching, like how am I not going to give that a crack?

François Pitchforkian (NickB), Monday, 15 February 2016 15:39 (eight years ago) link

Track two is called Arthur Russel, they might be pushing their luck a little there

has anybody else gotten into "kindred phenomena" by mattheis?

kind of kosmische type techno

the late great, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 08:37 (eight years ago) link

other tracks are perhaps more italo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVr9vmtBhmw

but the best parts (to my ears) are the more krautrockish parts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04bsEbIoCeQ

truly lovely album

the late great, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 08:40 (eight years ago) link

Does this go here?

http://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/breathless

I really like a couple of the longer tracks. Some of the more distorted moments (Digital Rivers for instance) freak my brain out a little.

That Mattheis album is great, thanks for the heads-up TLG.

barbarian radge (NotEnough), Thursday, 18 February 2016 17:58 (eight years ago) link

I'm really enjoying the Not Waving album mentioned above. It's really varied, some dark ambient, some early acidy Aphex-like stuff and (gasp) tunes! It's good.

kraudive, Thursday, 18 February 2016 18:10 (eight years ago) link

It's also got a load of tunes that sound like updated versions of Chris & Cosey. I'm liking this more and more.

kraudive, Thursday, 18 February 2016 18:18 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, really enjoying that Mattheis record.

Non-Stop Erotic Calculus (bmus), Thursday, 18 February 2016 20:38 (eight years ago) link

Been digging a lot of this stuff over the last few months and finding connections...never heard of Mattheis till now but just bought 2 albums on itunes and see other stuff on labels that have released other recent discoveries I dig.

Same w/ Not Waving. Got a Sam Willis album a year or two ago, the one with the Wire sample, and dug that. Months later got some Walls stuff and was listening to that a lot over the last few weeks. Then heard Not Waving and bought a bunch of that and was listening to that as well, back and forth with Walls for like a week before I realized it was the same guy.

I dont really agree with spacetravel as an idea, its harmful to the environment and there are still so many places here on Earth to discover, there are paths in the copse over in the next valley Ive never even seen yet

but here is a mini Spacetravel set...the last track justifies at least some traveling into space, I'll concede

This is pushing at the boundaries of what this thread is about, I think, but it may be the best place for it, and it's amazing. Perhaps, start at Dead Drop and go from there...

89 min: Ryan Giggs has made his way down to the touchline, making a point of looking miserable. A political play, perhaps.

he's at it again
