/daily/ - Chanson edition

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.

>wolfman score
Yikes. Thoughts?

Dogevillage
nyarl's Dad

>Yikes. Thoughts?
good job on being 20-30 years ahead on everybody else when it comes to noise and other shitty music
the title track was great but everything else was quite insufferable, which was about what i expected

none except jimmyjazz

hey for those interested, Bureau B, a label specializing is reissues of experimental electronic and pop music from the 70s to 90s has been slowly posting their catalogue to bandcamp for streaming.
bureaub.bandcamp.com/
included are albums by Cluster, Dennis Young, Moebius, Harald Grosskopf, Faust, and Asmus Tietchens, among plenty others.

i thought you were out of your "noise is bad" phase

Thanks for posting this, I'm looking into it

I don't think you'll like Goldie or the Orb with those scores

heckle yeehaw

Good job Terminus. Overall: 3.50
>Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
I started really liking this in the later half of "Taphead", and I loved "New Grass". But honestly, these were the only times when I really enjoyed myself, and had it not been for these I probably could say that, in general, I didn't like the record as a whole. I didn't really feel the soul that most people talk about, I wasn't a huge fan of his voice, and I didn't like some of the prog elements that it had. I don't know why "New Grass" clicked with me so well versus the other tracks.. it was just really damn good.
3/5
>Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
Hey a good post-hardcore album! Actually my first time ever hearing Unwound too. This was pretty good, although I didn't fall in love like most people seem to. Some tracks were huge hits, while others were a little boring. My favorite moments (these were really fucking good): the bridge in the later half of December, chorus of Treachery, the entirety of Terminus, when the vocals become semi-yells in Off the Century, and the entirety of Below the Salt
3.5/5

1/2

>Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill
I think it finally clicked. Somewhere early in this album I laughed a little while tears were in my eyes and said "what the fuck man?" Honestly, this is just really sad. That's its selling point: its story and message.

"24" tells the STGSTV-esque story of the depressions and worries of aging, which I can relate to after starting to realize how much of my life has been wasted. Obviously I'm still very young though, and I'm sure I will continue to relate more to this as I get older. "Medicine Bottle" hit way, way too close to home. Not to blog or incentive a pity party, but I've dealt with a lot of this shit, a lot of what he talks about here I can relate to. It truly hurt hearing the story of a happy person trying to pull a depressed person out of their fog. My family, particularly my sister, are some of the happiest people I know. It's hard seeing them try to help me and share their happiness with me, and I think it would be even harder in a romantic relationship such as was discussed in this song. This dynamic of an optimistic person helplessly trying to save someone who's broken is one that has always been really heartbreaking to watch/ listen to purely because of how much I have seen this dynamic play out in my own relationships. And then in this same track there's all the "tfw no gf" and breakup stuff which I'm always a sucker for. I don't have many thoughts about the next track, "Down Colorful Hill", besides that it was another of my favorite tracks and that I feel like it should be mentioned, because after this the album kind of drops in quality.. which brings me to a few flaws. It's top heavy, it's not amazing musically, and there aren't really any tracks here that absolutely blow me away.

2/2

Anyway, I feel like I shouldn't be talking about these negatives too much, because again I really do think this is a great album with an amazing story and atmosphere.. and I'm both looking forward to and dreading the day when I can listen to this in full whilst at an extremely low point, because I'm sure moments like those are when this album is most impactful.
4/5

3/2 (i'm an idiot)

>i thought you were out of your "noise is bad" phase
more like out of the "noise is good" phase
i enjoyed the title track what else do you want me to like
the last track is 40 minutes of almost literally nothing

interesting label, already heard their new release of the cluster konzerte 1972/1977, first track is alright but the second one is straight fire

>I don't think you'll like Goldie or the Orb with those scores
probably not

Literally all of Terminus' albums are growers. I would highly rec coming back to them at a later date.

I'd also rec digging into more Unwound, particularly their earlier stuff.

>Literally all of Terminus' albums are growers
might be telling of term himself :{} :0 %]

>sometimes I put track titles in quotations, sometimes I don't
>"whilst"
>3/2
I ought to reread my shit before I post it huh
i'll definitely check these albums out again/ the rest of Unwound's early stuff

I have three questions.
1. In a sharethread someone posted Morton Feldman - Rothko Chapel/Why Patterns? Is there anything else about the relationship between Rothko, in a broader sense colour, and music?
2. I'm looking for music about geometry (Constructivism, Suprematism, De Stijl etc). So far I found "Baku: Symphony of Sirens. Sound Experiments in the Russian Avant Garde" and "Jakob van Domselaer - Proeven van Stijlkunst" (no seeders) on Rutracker. What are some other pieces I can listen to?
3. I got John Tchicai - Real Tchicai from here and I'm loving it. What should I listen to next?

>Last Exit - Last Exit
Pretty cool wankery, the rock styling works well. Not sure I like the overly distorted guitar from Sonny here, he gets a bit lost in the noise of the other instruments. Speaking of which the drumming is great, provides a really solid backbone for the other players. 3.5+/5

>Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam (My Gifts)
I tend to not like vocals in jazz very much but there's something about Leon Thomas' yodelling that I can't get enough of. It fits Sanders' spiritual style of jazz so well, I think it's the primal feeling. So I love the first track which sounds much like a continuation of Karma. Balance is a great skronky free jazz track too but the real star is the 29 minute B-Side Izipho Zam with it's tribal inspired percussion. And Sharrock's awesome. I'm not really talking about Sanders much here but it goes without saying that he's great here doesn't it. It doesn't get boring once. 4+/5

Tell me when does Sanders start getting bad

>De Stijl
White Stripes

>neat. I'd suggest hearing Freak Out if you wanna hear more zappa.
Yeah I've been meaning to listen to that for a long time.

Spiritual Unity!!!!

is this a penis comment? Not appreciated.

It's a good starting place as any for getting into Zappa I'd argue.

Hey friendperson who does the /daily/ chart management, plz swap Banondari for Fly, Fly My Sadness for me :0

I thought many a yonder about this and also thanks! : )

also actually though replace enter shikari with journal - unlorja

okey pretty hyped for this

regarding Feldman, as far as I know he was an acquiantance of Rothko (and other contemporary painters) and the inspiration for the piece was the experience of being in the chapel, so it's kinda a tribute, and is related to the Chapel paintings as I guess kinda an "abstract expressionist" piece where it really tries to express itself "by itself", without - in the case of Feldman - use of memory-related contextualising or bringing out any musical symbolical associations (which he achieves by making a whole lotta pauses, what a hack). Which in turn could be related to Rothko who makes his Chapel paintings one colour, no contrast (which is kinda whats at the base of visual context) (what a hack), total escape from symbols. thats reinforced by the fact that the chapel is really meant to be a chapel but a non denominational one, ykno, no symbols. But idk much about rothko so i could be totally off, kinda makes sense tho doesnt it, and loosely ties the concepts
Im kinda pulling that out of my ass, excuse me if thats obvious to you

oh yeah and the cover for the recording is not even from the chapel, heccin missing the point baka
actually most likely the person who chose it knew more about that than me

Hello /daily/!

15 hours of work today, lmao!

Last 2 hours I was bored though so I wrote some memeviews on RYM for some new releases. Feel free to read them.

Got my hands on new live Swans. That's for tomorrow.

Hope all are feeling dank :)

Good night!

haha what bug is that

That's a great thread idea as long as we escape the anglosphere.
I've heard alot of Brel and Brassens they are absolutely based. It's a bit of a hassle to search for lyric translations so i rarely bother. Still, the songs are very good

>It's a good starting place as any for getting into Zappa I'd argue.
hot rats is a much better introductory album desu
its also much better

inb4 jangle says 'no'

'no'

John Cale ticket bought, now the hassle of actually getting to liverpool for the night

cant wait to watch an old man play music he's sick of

I hold high that 2012-era Sup Forums was awful and just slightly worse than now but I just saw this and audibly laughed.

Brel kicks so much ass and I don't even like much Chanson. Besides his bolded albums on rym, is there anything else by him that's worthwhile.

I love Hot Rats, but as someone that's heard every Zappa album, Freak Out is absolutely his best intro into his best and most worthwhile era, as it has the most albums with similar qualities to it.

Zappa only made a couple albums similar in style to Hot Rats (instumental fusion, "jazz"-lite) which were Waka/Jawaka and Sleep Dirt. Even if you were to argue that it's good, it's not a good into into his later music. I'd argue One Size Fits All is a better into to his fusion stuff anyways, since it has the most albums similar to it.

Again, I'm arguing about entry-usefulness rather than quality.

Do you dislike HR for any reason other than it being falsy labeled as jazz by people who don't listen to the genre? I know you've enjoyed a little bit of Zappa anyways.

*worthwhile?

*falsely

I hate phoneposting

thats all i wanted :)

chanson sux tbqhimo

nah i haven't gotten around to much of his stuff yet. he is frequently on my new chart tho.

Brassens is even better imho
>youtube.com/watch?v=26Nuj6dhte8

You do realize you're not actually talking to jangle, right?

...

>Hot Rats
No

>mfw FISH thinks that was actually me

Pitchfork did something pretty un-surface-level with this. I'm surprised by how they did with some non-normie picks here. Actually, for what it's worth, this Jessie Jarnow guy is serious over there. His book from a year or so ago, Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, was really quality and something necessary, in fact.

>tfw a 40 year old math professor who thinks Kazakh folk music and traditional R&B are directly related is more punk than you

Whoever told me southern hip hop was good:
You fucking liar.

>tfw PJW is more punk than you

Also, fun fact for Washingtonians: This man teaches math at WSU now

This kills the Woolite

Not possible.

whoever told you jpg was good
you fucking liar

wew

>hot rats
'no'

seriously though I'm hype to hear your thots

I've seen it I'm just busy atm

Hey I'll replace these by tomorrow just gimmie a bit

also you two need to stop replacing your albums every fucking week or I'm gonna stop updating them all together

>Six hours of Natural Snow Buildings

look at the fool!

The album is actually has some of their best stuff if you're a NSB fan

but it's six fucking hours. I have no intention of ever hearing it again.

imma do it

>Hey I'll replace these by tomorrow just gimmie a bit

>Ridin Dirty Meh/Ok
>Three Six Mediocre
>E 1999 Bad
>On Top of the World Mediocre

Omg that Lil Keke score too

wowie

>This kills the Woolite
How did you know that would happen?

I just don't like southern rap.
Sorry.

Woolite is one of my alts.

i cant even tell what the album with wingdings on it is but lmao at that streak of scores

This t b h

Lol, nah man it's all good! Definitely not a style for everyone, plus I just have an unreasonable amount love for southern rap

That album was this monstrosity.
One of the earliest 'Indistrual Noise' rap albums.

And one of the worst pieces of shit I listened to.

How do I into-it, man?? I'm trying to make it click but it just won't click with me. What's your favorites?

Finished with the other two GIVINGBEAR albums, but then felt like I should relisten to The Texas-Jeruselem Crossroads, so I'll be finishing you tomorrow.

>Albert Ayler - Lörrach/Paris 1966
This was great. I loved how their was a sense of melody/ structure in the prominent instruments, while in the background you could hear everyone else playing pure chaos, a really cool combination. Best tracks: "Our Prayer - Spirit Rejoice" and "Truth is Marching In". Wish the drums were more of a focus.
4/5

you should relisten to all the ones with pink dots, ya dingus.

Excited to hear Damo + Trip Up onions, mainly because I wanna hear Future Days and Duster onions.

Also if you like Shit Computer more than SILY I'm deleting you from /daily/

nah.

most of them I know pretty thoroughly.. if I don't end up relistening to them by the time I'm done then that means I'm pretty confident in my score

What's this, like NoFap but for Sup Forums?

nah were all jerkin it in this thread

you have others jerk you off for your music taste so you dont have to do it for real

FISH, he is also a really cool person.

i just jacked it like five minutes ago lmao

both are false

oops, forgot my trip

put ur trip back on fish boi

I had enough. This is bad.

What kind of porn?

If you find that Gero or Ambarchi record, please let me know. I can't find them anywhere.

Dave Holland - Conference of the Birds

I think we know what kind of porn already

So, gay?

>posted 59 seconds apart
hmmm...

yeah but that cover is hilarious lmao

>implying i'd jack it to white jazz

the poster of Blind Willie Nelson in my room

uwu

yes

i have the gero on vinyl. hopefully a link goes up for the ambarchi record.

well i think your cool

:3

yeah, jokes aside, you a A+ good dude

lets settle this
strawpoll.com/c3295gf

the only true answer

NEW GERO WHERE??

Well I spent a decent amount of my childhood in the south so I think it might be a nostalgia thing mostly.

But Big Krit, CunninLynguists, Curren$y, Devin the Dude and Outkast were some of the guys that got me into the whole scene. I liked the smooth/mellow old school sound and it's still one of my favorites in the genre.

Depends on what you're looking for though. Houston has lots of smooth stuff (UGK, Keke, Mike Jones, Chamillionare/Paul Wall), Memphis has more hardcore (Three Six, Tommy Wright), New Orleans has straightforward gangster shit (No Limit/Cash Money) and Atlanta has more of the trap sound (Gucci, TI... lots of modern stuff)

Pretty sure there's a chart somewhere I can dig up to help you out if you're really interested

my house

Here's the flowcharts I was talking about, might as well post em either way.

Houston: img.pixady.com/2015/01/273235_houston1...9.png

Memphis: img.pixady.com/2015/09/183467_memphisv2.0.png

Quick question

When I relisten to The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads, should I listen to the original or the reissue

OutKast has been the only ones I've enjoyed a great amount.

Not sure I'll be able to go through the southern hip hop since I already got a huge backlog.

I'm gonna be listening to some of the ones you listed when I get t the other decades.

O R I G I N A L

I like a lot about the new mix, but they fucked up a lot of the great noisier guitar parts and placing more emphasis on Pearson's singing, which is *great* but definitely ruins a lot of the instrumental moments by pushing them into the back.
