It's December 25th in Australia! Make sure to wish them Merry Christams!
"The point of these threads is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time."
fuck, dogevillage, that would be #2, why do you have to be occasionally right

>Candy Claws - Ceres and Calypso in the Deep Time At first i really didn't enjoy how compressed everything was, but towards the end of my first listen and during the second listen it really started to grow on me. It provides an interesting soundscape for the lush instrumentation to build on. All of the melodies are so bright and sparkly and it's cool how they sort of meander in and out of the hazy textures produced by the bass. There are moments of clarity that crop up throughout the album where all of the elements work perfectly together to create super blissful moments. I wish there had been a bit more wall of sound shoegazey moments cause they seemed to go away after the first few songs. I also wish the songs were more connected to each other with transitions instead of just ending the song and starting the next one cause the silence in between takes away from atmosphere of the album. green diamond/10
Composers who have written pieces that sound as FAT as this (at least after it hits the 1:10 mark)
need some orchestral that sounds crushing, rather than just angry/aggro
any reccs deeply appreciated, maybe you'll like it as well

Sibylle Baier - Colour Green I liked listening to this; it is extremely pretty and pleasant. The lyrical themes are mostly mundane, but it works really well with the simple beauty of the vocals and guitar. And it is well written and eloquent anyway. Tonight is the clear standout, and I like Softly and Wim a lot too.
I added a couple rows based on the recs from people in the last thread (thanks :3) and the daily album chart.
one of my favorite tracks to listen to on a sunny afternoon
This was a good release, I need to give it another listen. New Forest and Transitional Bird are really great tracks

Rocket From the Tombs - The Day the Earth Met the Rocket From the Tombs
How does Jimbo make so many recordings in such little time? He's almost as bad as Merzbow.
Luke Brown
Ill start with the second row.
>File Under Pop - Heathrow An interesting little sonic experiment that is 90 percent field recordings, and ten percent spoken word over guitar noodling. It's effective, but it's ideas demanded a little more breathing room than what a single can provide.
>Trio - s/t Yikes. A tongue and cheek pastiche of popular music tropes in the vein of Frank Zappa or early Ween. A few good ideas, but overall lacks quality control. This album feels thrown together, and I mean that in the worst way possible.
>Tragic Mulatto - Hot Man Pussy It's like a female fronted Laddio Bolocko. That's really good. Unfortunately, it suffers the same pitfall of perseverating on ideas that isn't all that interesting at times.
>Red Balune - Capitalist Kid I don't even know. Very rarely does a punk single leave me at a loss for words. This is less of a "punk" single really. It's more of a full-on assault to the senses. I don't know how to put my experience into words, but I can say that it was positive.
>Alternative TV - The Force is Blind It's alright.
>UFO or Die - Shock Shoppers / Zombie Tube I'm not even going to pretend to know how to review this shit.
>Cresent - Collected Songs I wrote about this earlier so I won't go too in-depth (like I ever do anymore), but this is incredible.
>Major Lazer - Original Don Okay track bogged down by unnecessary remixes. I can get into it too much right now, but I bet that this would be alot of fun at a party.
>Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island This lacked the creative fervor and concept that would make ITAOTS, well, ITAOTS. It's still a damn good album that is worth your time.
>Grimes - Visions Holy shit the production on this album is incredibly boring. A handful of the tracks had nice chord progressions and vocals, but it's all packaged in the blandest wrapping paper imaginable. Good ideas are one thing, but they are nothing if they aren't presented well.

i also listened to that crescent record and it's completely entrancing

Mort Garson - The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds (1967) >psychedelic rock, spoken word
It's cheesy, but it's a much different kind of cheesy than Plantasia. Plantasia is a really pretty, low-key, endearing kind of cheesy, this is much more bombastic and over-the-top. The instrumentals are solid psych exercises with solid drum work and some blistering guitars, but Garson's own spoken word additions are less than stellar. They're monotonous as hell and they take away from anything good the instrumentals might be doing, and they're really corny and overbearing to boot. The instrumentals are good and varied enough to keep this a decent listen, but the spoken word really does hurt it a lot.
2.5-
R. Stevie Moore - Delicate Tension (1978) >art rock, art punk, lo-fi indie
Some lo-fi jangly punk jams, cool but certainly not anything special. Moore is definitely a big musical inspiration, but he's got some obvious weakness. His instrumental tracks constantly rank among his best, he's an irritating vocalist, sometimes in an interesting way but often in a really, well, irritating way. His synth experiments are low points, they're experiments in the most pure definition of the word, and they rarely work. Tracks where he sings less and lets the traditional rock/punk instrumentation do the talking are really quite great, and testaments to the songwriting skill this man so obviously has, but that he so often masks with pointless filler.
montie if you're reading this for the love of christ stop with the politics
Musica Elettronica Viva - Leave the City (1970) >free improvisation
The two pieces are rather interminable, and they focus more on creating a mish-mash of random sounds rather than any sort of cohesive whole. "Cosmic Communion" is the superior of the two, it starts off very unfocused but it eventually works its way into becoming a very dark, dismal folk track, with the last 5 minutes or so making up for the noodling of the first 20. "Message" focuses entirely on this noodling. It's not terrible, some good ideas are present and the general claustrophobic vibe they're getting at is done well, it's just incredibly overlong and incredibly uninteresting to listen to. Mood music, I guess, and I'm not in that specific mood now, and I doubt I'll really ever be.

lots of rym people that are super into classical hate Glass. I've never heard Glassworks, but the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack is great, I don't get the hate.
fwiw, the rating is a 3.64 for my friends.
Hudson Richardson
rym classical purists bought into the "Baroque is literally the pinnacle of sound and anything that deviates is degenerate garbage" meme, you can ignore them
these are also the people who think that movies have to have ultra-depressive plotlines or they're bad

what is your rym I cant remember

Because minimalism sucks. Fight me.
Xavier Flores
John Fahey - Live in Tasmania (1981) >american primitivism
The opening two tracks comprise of what is arguably Fahey's greatest one-two punch. I love Fahey's ultra-fast, ultra-technical style, and that style is perfected here. Track one is comprised of The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death's "On the Sunny Side of the Ocean", the re-named "Tasmanian Two-Step" from After the Ball, and The Yellow Princess' "Lion", re-named "Tiger". I don't like After the Ball at all, but its track is mashed up so perfectly with the other two tracks to create one long 13-minute piece of primitivism that's as constantly enthralling and enjoyable as it is a technical marvel to hear. The second track is "The Approaching of the Disco Void", a piece never recorded for a studio album, and it's fucking incredible. One of Fahey's more dissonant, nightmarish pieces, and, as always, an absolute behemoth from a technical standpoint. The rest is your standaed Fahey stuff. It's great, obviously, but the record is rendered a bit obsolete by the lack of any major difference from his studio recordings, a very notable characteristic on this album's first two tracks as well as on The Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick. The first two tracks are among Fahey's most shining accomplishments, the rest is a decent addendum to his studio works.

I walked past a big air conditioning unit or something today and thought the droning sound it was making was part of the song i was listening to. How has your day been /daily/?
C'mon dude at least talk shit about Cilio or something, low quality bait.

iirc Glass is like the whipping boy of living composers, even other minimalists shit on him. At least edgelords likes of Wuorinen and Boulez do.

/daily/, what was the worst album you listened to this year? Pic definitely related.
Lincoln Roberts
Steve Gunn was fine the other night. He's got insane guitar chops, but I can't help but think it's all a little too uptight and safe for the brand of psych they're going for. They played a freak-out at one point, but that also seemed a bit forced.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Endless Boogie was gnarly. They just played one long krautrock-y jam. See them if you can, it was pretty out there.
Finally, not to drive an old point home, this pitchfork list is worthless. Usually I find a couple good songs I missed during the year.
Michael Collins

considering i get a lot of (you)'s but nowadays i don't give many, it is very valuable. However, (you)'s are like wine so the older the user the better. Since i'm new, it's probably just average priced
Adam Barnes
hampus, get on it,
Jack Jones
That kind of spam and low quality content greatly diminishes the value of (you)s. I'd say a (you) from a terrible quality post containing 17 (you)s from a less than noticeable tripfag in an isolatorial such as /daily/ is worth about 0.02 Ay. So essentially worthless.
