Wow at that Jon Hopkins track. By far the best of the ones that are new to me - up to that point, am still catching up (with the worst being the Andrew WK, duh)
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 17:18 (five years ago) link
such a rush of feeling
very otm--i wish that the song dwelled a little longer on the feel of that massive and exhilarating last minute. maybe it would've been overwhelming, but i'm fine with feeling overwhelmed every once in a while.

I considered voting for all end just because I liked the sheer audacity of capping these epic sessions with an hour-long ambient piece, but there were plenty of NTS tracks that I preferred.

i think geyser is just the length it needs to be, i love that last minute but any more would have just plateaued and not had the same impact
― ufo, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 17:23 (five years ago) link
all end isn't my favorite kind of autechre but this is probably the best thing of this kind they've done. I had some good times letting it play very loud while doing chores at home this year.

"Smoko" is basically this year's "Stoned and Starving" (#32 in 2013 poll). But I like "Stoned and Starving" better than both "Smoko" and the Parquet Courts on this year's track list. There is a kind of musical substance to it which "Smoko" lacks and where I think the real excitement of that Parquet Courts record comes from is the trick of making music that is somewhat substantial and also dumb-ass at the same time.

"stoned and starving" is the single parquet courts song i've ever liked but i think making anything substantial would be against the chats' whole ethos

51: Róisín Murphy – “Plaything” – 192 points – 7 votesvideo
RÓISÍN MURPHY
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=25949
This isn’t instant — which isn’t a bad thing, because it absolutely bears repetitive listening — but bits grab at you instantly: the Hot Chip-esque hook, the glorious disco glitter of “I know I mean nothing to you, still I can’t bring myself to hate”. Róisín sounds as gorgeously warm as ever while the song is spiky pain. – Hazel Southwell
“Plaything” is an intelligent, immaculately crafted bit of music, combining the house immediacy of Overpowered with the slowly unspooling nature of Hairless Toys with her perennial theme of the exquisite agony of being played. If I’m not as partial to it as “All My Dreams,” it’s because I prefer danger in my music to exaltation — or, to play A-side/B-side, prefer “Let Me Know” to “Sunshine.” The anticipation before a bad decision is always better than the decision itself. – Katherine St Asaph

PS I know I'm way behind but that picture of Andrew WK upthread looks like Bob from Twin Peaks and it freaks me out

Smoko reminds me of the old Beastie Boys punk shit. hard not to like on some small level. or maybe its just the video I liked, I dunno
anyway I was wondering which Ae track was gonna place, I guess this one was pretty obvious though its not really what I listen to Ae for. better than anything by William Basinski and the like though

just because it's a particularly inspired image, i am compelled to shout out Moka again for the consistently excellent graphics

roisin had a pretty good run this year didn't she

All End is a good single.
I like Smoko, esp the video. Which is oddly - seeing how it will have given Saer a heart attack - p much exactly the kind of footage our hero puts his own Asda Step tunes to.

"all end" and "smoko" so close together makes me smile

"Plaything" = best use of "fait accompli" in a pop song

I love the dedication to getting Roisin in these lists year after year. It's what she deserves!

Truly!
I’m crying a lot,tiredness.I feel like I’m banging my head against the wall.I make good and surprising records,I kill myself to make visual,in which I prove it’s about ideas and soul because god forbid anyone should give me a budget.But I get indifference in the industry.— Roisin Murphy (@roisinmurphy) July 4, 2018

production on the roisin is wonderful - so much fun listening to the various synth lines and then those drums just swing like hell. and then roisin bossing it on top, it's just fucking majestic

Voted for Plaything although it could easily have been something from her ten years ago really. The tracks with Koze were both his and her best work last year.
