Ah yes it is... I don't remember putting it there hahaha I think I might have dragged and dropped to the incorrect playlist. Thanks for the heads up.

Really enjoying the Miranda Lee Richards album Existential Beasts. At times it sounds like a companion piece to the Suzanne Sundfør album.

New additions to the playlist and a change (Knox Fortune song switched because I think I like this one better, but the whole album is good probably one of my favorites of the year) :
James Holden & the Animal Spirits - Each Moment Like the FirstGrapetooth - TroubleKnox Fortune - Lil ThingThe Shacks - Fly FishingE Ruscha V - Who Are YouThe Proper Ornaments - Memories
James Holden, Grapetooth and Knox Fortune might be appealing to BOC fans. It sounds very much post-BOC and nothing like them but there's some elements: hip hop beats, vintage and eerie synths, summer feels, a certain childhood nostalgia to them. Holden in particularly is close to that sound but the other two sound like pop singles produced by BOC.

Before the year is over I'll try to cut the whole thing down to 50 songs. It's so hard, there's been so many good music this year.

Read BOC as Blue Oyster Cult before realizing you probably meant Boards of Canada

Ah yes that's Boards of Canada! Sorry.

Just wanted to mention that Romeo Santos' "Imitadora" (which I already listed upthread) is great in various ways, despite some drawbacks.

SAICOBAB. New project of YoshimiO. Vocals + sitar + frame drum + bass. Whole album is great, but "Bx Ax Bx" is a good a place to start as any.

Justin Adams - Ribbons
It is partly a more abstract take on various world music, which sounds like a frightening description, but I think the music is good nevertheless. Some tracks have Anneli Drecker on them (not someone I am familiar with, although I guess I have been very vaguely aware of the existence of Bel Canto). "Crow Dream" is a standout track (ahem, ulysses).

Was just listening to the accompanying playlist on shuffle and after a couple songs I wasn't too thrilled about, I hit one that finally made me ask "What is this?!" meaning: this is awful. Arcade Fire.

https://leegamble.bandcamp.com/album/lee-gamble-mnestic-pressure-hdbcd037
first listen (cursory), this is some cut n'pasty, OPN-like bullshit. 2nd listen, this is nowhere near KOCH levels. Third listen, 'holy shit!' - it's **dope** "af".. ultra-lean and concise, need to hear it again.

It's a fantastic album, one of his best (up there with 'Diversions').
Jungle/dnb died 16, 17 years ago*. Metalheadz, Fabio, Grooverider, Optical & Rush, Doc Scott: I commend them for plowing on, but it's sad really. *Nothing* of note, nothing evolutionary, nothing forward thinking - let alone brash futuristic, a core element of the genre - has come out since 2000 or so.
The only to in some way do justice, and use the breaks and synths of jungle past, is what Gamble does so masterfully. He doesn't do 'nods', but echoes and mutates what was so great about it and incorporates it into a sound palette of now.
* Disclaimer: I was a teenage junglist.

I think I like Mnestic Pressure even more than Diversions, it's definitely one of my favorite albums of the year

What is this year's big art-rock album? I feel like I'm missing something - a Let England Shake, a Moon Shaped Pool?
― FREEZE! FYI! (dog latin), Monday, 4 December 2017 09:50 (six years ago) link
Don't know if it is art-rock but it sounds big (and fantastic): Oxbow's Thin Black Duke.

dog latin you might like this Chino Amobi thing

― brimstead, Monday, 4 December 2017 22:04 (six years ago) link
yea, dog latin and imago should check out Chino Amobi.. Lee Bannon's stuff on NON as Dedekind Cut is super fucked up as well

this chino amobi album absolutely rules

No mention of the Errorsmith album, Superlative Fatigue? Android techno with a dancehall riddim vibe. It's pretty special.
― FREEZE! FYI! (dog latin), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 10:02 (six years ago) link
yes! it's a great album! only found it last week so i'm guessing it's newly released or i'm very behind haha
― nxd, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 10:03 (six years ago) link
Fits nicely into my current obsession with experimental riddim - Equiknoxx, Still, Palmistry etc
― FREEZE! FYI! (dog latin), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 10:07 (six years ago) link
the Errorsmith album is good except the last track which is garbage but if you can get the chance you absolutely should go see him DJ, I saw him in January and it was INCREDIBLE, just so much energy and looseness and humour
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 18:36 (six years ago) link
Think I saw somewhere he's playing round my neck so I'll keep an eye out
