Youtube just recommended this to me after a video of a stunt rider flipping a motorcycle from one barge to another on the Thames

the new album by Leila Abdul-Rauf who plays in Hammers of Misfortune and various other (mostly) metal bands isn't out for a couple of months so apologies but I don't want to forget to post about it or lose the impulse to do so
it's a really beautiful and spacious organic ambient record with ECM-y jazz bits and big desert-y droning sections* and maybe a Dif Juz kinda lightness of touch. really impressive
*iirc there was a thread not too long back on this sort of music?

yeah this one "wide open desert music" S/D
― thirst trap your hare (DJ Mencap), Monday, 5 March 2018 22:54 (six years ago) link
catch a Labradford (s/t album) vibe at times as well
― thirst trap your hare (DJ Mencap), Monday, 5 March 2018 23:00 (six years ago) link
Insomnia album was really good, so up for more of that.
― calzino, Monday, 5 March 2018 23:18 (six years ago) link
in fact "really good" is selling it way short, it's quite majestic.

Title? Not listed as upcoming on bandcamp, but sounds like my thing.

it's called 'Diminution'
there was a soundcloud track online but it's been removed

Aye, me too - couple that with Labradford and it sounds close to perfect.

Listening to Insomnia now. Wonderful stuff so far, more varied than the usual fare, and it's got a lovely album cover to boot, drawing us away from the classic desert imagery.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 12:53 (six years ago) link
It's lovely. Based on that album, Spotify is recommending me Paula Abdul, which is like, I can see your working there, but it's not very sensible.

the new Forrest Fang album Scenes From a Ghost Train is rather nice, in particular the more percussive tracks.
― calzino, Sunday, 25 March 2018 09:32 (six years ago) link
Cheers for the Leila Abdul-Ralf recommendation- her new album is great. It's like she has zoomed into, and sonically expanded, the quieter spaces of a Movietone record.

Terekke's album on Music From Memory is pure ambient bliss.. fields of soft warm synth pads. Check it!

Brian Eno has a new six-disc album available on Spotify, holy shit! I've been listening to it all morning, and it has been excellent so far.

Hilde Marie Holsen's Lazuli lp is another one made from similar parts (acoustic trumpet, electronic manipulation). It's definitely more on the chillout end of the EA/Improv spectrum.

Legiac also did this 4.5-hr mix of stuff which is really lovely: https://reviews.headphonecommute.com/2016/02/09/roel-funcken-the-voynich-manuscript-mix/

i have nothing against funcken or this mix or anything, but we really need some standards regarding the term 'voynich manuscript'
