Ben Zimmerman - Psymulcaster

in.ter a.li.a might replace one of these

This as well

rateyourmusic.com/collection/Androol/recent/

i'm pleasantly surprised by how good inter alia is

This is still rocking my boat

SAINT TEREESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Been meaning to check out that Los Planetas album that's become a meme on rym

That's definitely on my album of the year so far list. Sure one can say it's more of the same from Thundercat, but that same stuff is still real good stuff so I find it hard to complain.

lol really underwhelming.

just because it has the name "slowdive" on it
doesn't mean you should praise it no matter what

snorefest

...

>just because it has the name "slowdive" on it doesn't mean you should praise it no matter what
nah lol people are lauding it because it's actually good lol

...

still have to listen to this one
it was p good
how were these?
this was good
meh

bleep.com/release/82337-luke-vibert-luke-vibert-presents-garave-vol-1

Luke Vibert Presents Garave Vol. 1, a loving homage to the glory days of US and UK garage and rave that is executed with the same cheeky swagger that made his jungle LP Amen Andrews Vs Spac Hand Luke such a peak time draw for those plugged into the Rephlex/Hypercolour sound.

Littered with his usual sampladelic sense of fun, Garave Vol. 1 takes all the elements of peak time garage, house and rave (including many lifted samples that will prick a lot of ears!) and distills them into Vibert's trademark mixture of bouncin' basslines and shuffled beats.

Haven't heard anything good this year yet. And my definition of good means an album with at least 3 tracks that are kind of likeable.

Pls dont let 2017 be worse than 2016

Tzusing's new album is pretty essential if you have any interest in bleeps, honestly. It's pretty accessible, but at the same time very intense and hypnotic.

Ayo what's that record above Mount Eerie?

...

agree

...

...

do you have a dl link to that you can share?

...

No, heard a live playback of it (the main piece), and the composer shared the other two tracks on it. Will have a link when the whole thing is officially released.

The megadeth one.

...

do you seriously like this shit? i feel its overhyped because of his connections to important historical works of music and the clout of the people in his not because its good. its the most generic space rock wooshy guitars ive ever heard. the good drumming doesnt save it.

Someone piss in your wheaties? It's good, not his best, and while he may be hyped it's mostly justified.
I know better stuff will come out this year (looking at you, Secret Chiefs 3) but this is a pretty good one so far.

I keep going back to the Gag File, it's great.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Carrie & Lowell Live...

no its awful. definition of good on paper bad in execution music. no one would take it seriously without the names attatched.

>Grails
>King Gizzard
>Mac DeMarco
>Slowdive
>Pond
>Real Estate
>Gas
>The Black Angels
>Ty Segall


Great year so far, maybe Mac is my favourite

hard to say but this has my vote, Violet Cold is too good

...

...

Typical Sup Forums idiocy.

That's a great one!

It's pretty good, but I've only listened to it twice so it's still digesting. It also has a lot of nonagon/iiymf callbacks too.

Is ulver even good past nattens madrigal

I remember I tried listening to their recent stuff and it made me kinda sick

I might be wrong but I think it's an album of the year so far thread not a this is a pretty good one so far thread

...

sedemminutstrachu.bandcamp.com/album/general-fucking-12lp

apparently only slavs know how to rock out anymore

mine

Is his name really Richard Pinhas?

Who names their kid that?

what, Richard? It's pretty common

...

Finally a proper follow-up to 2012 AOTY.

link where?

That Jaysom...tell me if you agree that if the singer was replace with someone not bland, it could be a 9/10 album.

these were great

Not a bad year so far

I really wish I liked No. 1 Angel as much as everyone else did :\

Not out yet but everything I've heard from it is amazing.

...

YES

anyone knows where that cover is from? Old chinese sword or kung fu movie maybe? That woman looks so fucking cool

I haven't been able to listen to much as of late due to school being shit, but this is my top 50 of the year so far

trusting bandana to set this straight though

Fuck me I've been slacking this year. So far I've enjoyed:

Kelly Lee Owens - Self Titled
Sun Kil Moon - Common as Light
Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked At Me
Jonwayne - Rap Album Two

I gotta catch up on music
