Best electronic releases of 2005?

Message Bookmarked

I'm not talking specifically about techno/IDM, because you can include releases that are just somewhat electronic-related, such as the new Broadcast or the Ellen Allein album. I just haven't stayed on top of things as well as I should have, so...

Electronic hasn't released an album since 1999 you dimwitted chimp.

not a 2005 release proper, but huume's rerelase of luomo's 'vocalcity'

Bobby, are you on $|$K?

how is ellen allien's new album only somewhat electronic-related?

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Saturday, 1 October 2005 19:34 (eighteen years ago) link

bobby, are you in 2005?
Virthulegu forsetar, Grapes from the Estate, and The au Harem are all 2004, and i wouldn't consider the first two to be 'electronic' records in the slightest, though they are delightful.

Hystereo "Corporate Crimewave"...the heirs to Daft Punk's thrown. Also, Vitalic "OK Cowboy" and Richard Davis' "Details" are pretty sick.

Julien Neto (LE FUMEUR DE CIEL) seconded. Eluvium's TALK AMONGST THE TREES is also highly rated here.

1. not on slsk..sorry, go buy em.
2. Johann's Dís is definitely 2005, and Virthulegu forsetar was at the tail end of 2004, so i counted it. I think the Ricardo was also officially released in late 2004...As for Oren, well, I guess i was about 6 months off on that...didn't buy it until Feb. of this year.(Let's just pretend I said the Triste reissues). I don't live anywhere near an up to date record store, so by the time i get most stuff it's already been out a few months. Pardon.....thanks for not being rude, though. If the original poster hasn't stayed on top of things, maybe they are in the same boat I'm in and missed those the first time around.
3. I would consider FS Blumm part of the electronic scene. Although mostly acoustic, I find it to be definitely keen to electronic styles of music, specifically in the looping composition department. A stretch sure, but I think relevant as a recommendation. (FYI, the Pekler record is primarily Feldman string samples...electronic / acoustic / eh?)
4. If we are calling Broadcast electronic, then I think Nathan Michel can live there as well. There's all kinds of programming and synthesis on The Beast...The Nudge and Alog records also prominently feature acoustic instruments. Are those out too?

haha go hystereo!

for me I would say

isolée-we are monster, mandy-body language, and vitalic-ok cowboy as the three big albums.

single-wise I don't know where to start, it hasn't been a year of massively epic major singles like last year, there are loads of really brilliant minor anthems like "mandarine girl".

venetian snares- hungarian album

gotta agree with lots of stuff said here already and put my two cents in:

tom tyler - forward going backward (DC)
stewart walker - grounded in existence (persona)
troubleman - the first phase (far out)
four tet - everyting ecstatic

Okay well I {heart} the Monika Enterprise compilaton (v/a - 4 women no cry).

The TBA stuff on there is better than ANulle I think. But Anulle is still plently great.
