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

other tracks are perhaps more italo

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

truly lovely album

Does this go here?

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

Has the new Floorplan album, Victorious, been discussed much on the board? Search mainly turned up posts about the 2013 record. Anyway, it belongs on this thread. Too bloody long by half but there are some stellar cuts on it.

Jeff W, Monday, 4 July 2016 21:53 (seven years ago) link

will check out, i always have time for robert hood

brimstead, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:13 (seven years ago) link

It probably doesn't belong belong on this thread though

calzino, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:16 (seven years ago) link

It isn't a techno album??

"albums thread for people who are clearly doing it wrong"

calzino, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 12:09 (seven years ago) link

There is no way that listening to Robert Hood, in any format, is doing techno wrong, but I didn't know this album existed so I'm grateful for its appearance on theis thread.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 12:14 (seven years ago) link

This is the only techno album thread we have, so I don't see why it can't be used to discuss "proper" techno too?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 12:18 (seven years ago) link

The bobbins thread seems to be more about singles, AFAIK?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 12:19 (seven years ago) link

plenty of albums on the bobbins thread, although it isn't really that much of an important issue.

calzino, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 12:25 (seven years ago) link

there is no proper and there is no doing it wrong , there is only reverie and anguish, the perpetrators and enables of anguish are everywhere, not just on every thread but out here in the public space.

categorization is also an enemy of reverie

saer, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 12:51 (seven years ago) link

iirc the 'doing it wrong' in the thread title was with reference to the listener rather than the artist - a listener such as i, who does most of his listening while either digging up vegetables or walking an underwhelming dog

coygbiv (NickB), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 13:16 (seven years ago) link

In that case i take it back, there is definitely doing it wrong, that is playing music while cutting down a tree or otherwise hurting the environment. Don't do that, stay home instead! there is also playing it where i can hear it if it is a distressing sound, of which there is a good chance. Don't understimate the vibeyness of just light drizzle

saer, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 13:19 (seven years ago) link

I did actually play the new Floorplan lp while I was walking my dog and it didn't work for me, but I played it again after a bifta in my kitchen and it sounded glorious. It's literally decades since I've been to a club so doing it wrong is the only way I know these days!

calzino, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 15:32 (seven years ago) link

yeah anything's fair game

like if you're someone who doesn't keep up with the rolling house/techno thread but would love the Africans With Mainframes lp

someone like me

omg
