Christian A. Volf – Volf Acustic Records >Electronic, Non-Music, Therapy, Experimental
Re-release of the earliest known pieces of electronic music from Denmark. The pieces were recorded on shellac 78 RPM records in 1936/1937. The pieces are from a series of records, known as 'Volf Acustic Records' each containg sound within a specific frequency range. The records was used in sound-therapy, according to the 'VOLFAIR'-method. The Volf Acustic Records are possibly the first known recordings of 'electronic music' released on record.
Order of operation was brilliant, looking foward to this. thanks user

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome (1984) >synthpop, new wave, ultra gay bullshit Basically the ultimate example of the excess of the 80s. Frankie blew up with their single "Relax (Come Fighting)" and their hype just grew from there. With EXTREMELY lush production by Trevor Horn (of Buggles and Art of Noise fame, frequently called the "man who invented the eighties) Welcome To The Pleasuredome became the most heavily pre-ordered album in history, with advance sales of around one million copies, however it spent a single week at number one before plummeting.
It probably only stayed one week since everyone bought it in the first week. It's the most essential album of the 80s.

The Human League - Reproduction (1979) >synthpop, minimal wave, industrial Creepy pop songs by the guys who did "Don't You Want Me" only a few years later. This link includes the EP "The Dignity of Labour".
O.M.D. - Dazzle Ships >synthpop, art pop, musique concréte, experimental pop
Concept album about the cold war, lots of chilly synth textures. OMD's fourth album; it came just after the huge success of Architecture and Morality. Probably the most notable act of commercial suicide in existence.
Yoko Ono - Approximately Infinite Universe (1972) >art rock, feminist rock
Yoko stops screaming and begins singing as a form of artistic expression. The songs on this album are much more, uh, song-y than most of the material found on Fly and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, meaning that it's much more accessible than either, although less experimental and less forward-thinking than those two were.
Requesting the new Schoolboy Q album, Blank Face. I can't find it anywhere.

The Fall - 458489 A-Sides >post-punk, art rock, compilation
A compilation album full of all The Fall's singles from around 1984 to 1990. Shows the opening up of their sound when they had Brix on bass guitar in the band, and shows off their mainstream potential. Generally pretty good if you want to get into the band.

i'm trying to get the link for an album i just copped on bandcamp and want to share but i can't even connect ;-; shits fucked
Cameron Rogers
One of my favourite albums ever. It's made of mostly samples. The variety and eclecticism of the samples still astonish me after having heard it years ago. It has a lot of depth to it, and a great sense of humor. Wish people listened to this instead of that fucking stupid Doopees bullshit. This should be the true Plunderphonics album. Doopees is very lazy compared to this.

Kate Bush - The Dreaming (1982) >art/progressive/experimental pop, oompah-oompah music, just fucking listen to it
Manufactured teen pop star is given free rein over her music and promptly decides to use her newfound freedom to make something fucking insane. Over 43 minutes, we're treated to Kate Bush putting on cockney, irish and australian accents, whispering and shouting at jarring and often distressing levels, and imitating a donkey. It's one of the most bizarre albums ever released on a major label, and even moreso that it achieved minor success. >featuring convicted pedophile and sexual predator Rolf Harris on didgeridoo
Kana Wakareno - Trapped In the Glass - もう、見たくないよ、と言いつつそっと硝子の中に閉じ込めた展 >minimal piano music with a Japanese female singer, very ambient, late night comfy core, not weeb but could only find a link on those fucking youtube channels that upload songs with shitty anime wallpapers as images and just steal songs sample: youtube.com/watch?v=O0yAKDj_zy8 dl: mega.nz/#!bJ5QHK4Z!yCUt-oYzxsN7cfe0IduWga7wQRtlOknl0YyujaiKleI

This is the most embarrassing general, honestly.
I could understand its existence if uncommon and interesting releases were put up, but literally why post entry level embryo shite that everybody with half a mind has heard? Who do you think you're impressing? This is an embryonic circlejerk. Just use soulseek, fucking hell

Akiko Yano - Tadaima (1981) >art pop, YMO-core
Remeber the chick who made Japanese Girl (1976)? She's back, married to Ryuichi Sakamoto and making excellent synthpop/techno kayo. Has some bizzare Devo-esque breaks interspersed throughout, a nine-minute long piano medely of traditional songs slap in the middle, and capped off with Rose Garden, probably the best synthpop song ever made and enough to warrant checking the album out just to find it at the end.
>X-TG - Desertshore - The Final Report i'd been looking for a higher quality link, thanks kind user
Camden Barnes
Akiko Yano - Iroha ni Konpeitou (1977) >art pop, look at that fuckin smug face
Akiko Yano's still recovering from the cultural contrast of Japanese Girl, and moving towards the frenetic and energetic synthpop of Tadaima. This album is mostly acoustic, with very rich sounding production, and there's a piano version of Tong Poo at the end. The highlights are less high than those of Tadaima *cough*ROSE GARDEN*cough* but the mood is overall more consistent.
>You need a soundsystem to truly appreciate this oh screw off

I've heard of the term black label single before, what is the difference between those and white label singles, or is it just different terms for the same thing?
been listening to a lot of Grime lately, been looking to dive deep into this. Who would you recommend besides the essential forefathers of grime?
Lucas Johnson
>grime instrumentals wouldn't that just make them 2-step? My impression is that what makes grime grime is the rapping on top of the music.
Matthew Gonzalez
Yesterday I spent half an hour looking for this one between my files. It deserves more listens imo.
Brody Morales
"White label records are vinyl records with plain white labels attached. There are several variations each with a different purpose. Variations include Test Pressings, White Label Promos, and Plain White Labels."
It's usually just used as a general term for singles that are intended for play by DJs or as promo releases.
Honestly I'd hardly call myself an expert on grime I just happen to be British and wear Reebok Classics. I can give a few recs though:
>Grimetapes.com Presents: Slew Dem Vol. 1 >Grimetapes.com Presents: Roadside Gs Vol. 1 >DJ Magic - No Hats No Hoods Edition 1 >Macabre Unit - Six Feet Below Sound 2: Buried Alive >Devlin - Tales From The Crypt (p much anything else he's put out since this has been ass though)
Listen to the sample I gave, it's definitely not 2-step and you can have vocal 2-step without it being Grime. Honestly it's really hard to put your finger on what makes Grime Grime, it's kind of a know it when you hear it thing.
Nathan Ross
thanks for this, I thought I already had this but I guess not
Grayson Carter
ah, thanks, I think I may have been going by the definition of what it was when it first started up, which like anything has probably changed as the genre evolved.
Chase Lopez
if you didn't listen to rap you'd know
Bentley Garcia
holy heck. when did this leak?
Logan Barnes
A decent quality of Bottomless Pit is all I really need, only one I've found is 96kbps
Elijah Taylor
Ok seriously this album does not exist anywhere except for shitty YouTube rips, not even the bandcamp has the option to buy the thing
James Sullivan
it's on soulseek in 320kbps...

Deep Turtle - There's A Vomitsprinkler In My Liverriver. >Hardcore; Math-Rock; Noise; Jazzpunk. >Essential eclectic mix of hardcore punk with progressive rock and some jazz thrown in. Really great; all sung in a weird mix of spanish and english. Valz / Hot Mambo / Antivalz is the greatest song ever done.
there's something wrong with Macra Izumi – Ai Naraba Shitte Iru can someone post a new link please?
Nolan Barnes
Thanks for that! Love her music.
Brandon Walker
Deep Turtle - Turkele!! (2003) >Hardcore; Math-Rock; Noise; Jazzpunk. >A more accesible foray into Deep Turtle. Their last release before they called quits, it's one of their best. While on the short side (it's an EP) it's really sharp. All of the songs are sung in spanish.
