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.
I would if I had any fucking idea what's going on in that picture
Christian Ortiz
i've listened to less of the essentials than i thought, what's most worthwhile?
oh i forgot, Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty
Elijah Torres
(You) give me a recc in the form of a SONGEE or EP of similar length to a single the cacophony at the top is a poorly organized loser's bracket I may or may not use if I want to make it more convoluted and do double elimination danke
Michael Bailey
/gaily/ boys are probably going to say Eureka I would say all 3 of the King Crimson albums
Camden Murphy
denzel curry - zeltron 6 billion
Wyatt Collins
yeah i've been meaning to listen to Eureka for ages. are the other King Crimson albums much different? i didn't enjoy ITCOTCK much at all
Dominic Roberts
Larks' Tongues is half improv stuff and half hard rock/metal, more experimental I guess. Red is pretty much proto prog metal with an improv interlude (and one of the best songs of all time with Starless). Discipline is math rock/new wave with a completely different lineup besides Bruford and Fripp, like Talking Heads style new wave but more technical.
Josiah Powell
So apparently there's a new GYBE album that's coming out this year.
Red is worth a shot.
Lincoln Turner
Oh yeah Rock Bottom too, since it's perfect :^)

Tim Hecker - Ravedeath, 1972 (2011) >ambient, drone
"The Piano Drop" is one of the most stunning pieces of ambient music I've ever heard. Hecker has always had a penchant for really innovative, enveloping sound design (every album of his falls perfectly under the "headphone album" descriptor), but that track takes the cake, it's an absolutely stunning, radically inventive piece. The rest of the album is really solid, especially the closing "In the Air" trilogy, yet the opener always stands as the best, most engrossing track. Rather normal ambient takes up the rest of the album's runtime, and while it's very good, considering who's performing it, it makes me clamor for something riskier.
3.0-
Vektor - Outer Isolation (2011) >technical thrash metal
Here's all the evidence I need that Vektor is the most consistent band of the past decade. Not quite as raw as Black Future, not as progressive as Terminal Redux, it's kind of the red-headed stepchild in the context of Vektor's discography, but it takes that awkward position with grace. The riffs are always killer, and the vocals are exceptionally good here, some of the screams are bone-rattling in the absolute best way. It has a level of saminess that isn't present on Black Future or Terminal Redux, and it's just generally their least inventive, but a really good album in its own right.
3.0-
RJD2 - Deadringer (2002) >instrumental hip hop
Cool beats, cool sampling, doesn't really do much of anything. Every track blends together, and I suppose that's to match the cohesive nature of a beat tape/DJ mix, but RJD2's already chill, nonobtrusive sound really tends to drag in this format. There are some really cool tracks here ("Ghostwriter" in particular, making great use of an Elliott Smith song), but as an album it drags like crazy.
2.5
(1/2)
Kayden Wilson
OK listen to this song: Man Man- zebra
Eli Edwards
Wait I changed my mind!!! Destroyer- Archer on the beach ft. Tim Hecker
John Walker
(2/2)
The Red Crayola with The Familiar Ugly - The Parable of Arable Land (1967) >experimental rock, psychedelic rock, free improvisation
The "Free Form Freak-Out" tracks are all really cool, inventive slabs of improvisation, the psych tracks do absolutely nothing. Production-wise, this is generally very thin, which serves better to more instrumentally dense tracks compared to tracks where you pay attention to the guitar line or the drums, and the psych tracks just generally aren't anything special to begin with. Worth a listen really for the freak outs, which are both incredibly enjoyable and incredibly prophetic.

>makes me clamor for something riskier.
you will probably like Virgins if you haven't heard it already. I always felt like Ravedeath was kind of safe, as you articulated. Never as good as Harmony in Ultraviolet. But Virgins I feel like is much more raw and aggressive, keeping the enveloping soundscapes but injecting a lot of emotion
Justin Long
I haven't listened to virgins in a /long/ time, I should check it out again. thanks!
Bentley James
since you didnt write the name of the song i can change my recc again right??? :^[]
Part of me is shocked that you gave the Blueprint a 2 but I totally should've guessed. "Heart of the City" is one of my all time favorite beats though man, shit is killer. Which reminds me, I should try a "favorite beats" list or something.
Also that Vektor album really blew me away and I was noooot expecting it! I really need to hear Terminal Redux now cause I heard it's even better.
Alexander Allen
>Robert Wyatt was on Music For Airports Interesting Ok. What restrictions etc
The guitarist duo on this one is pretty bizarre. Anyone heard this?
Logan Campbell

Wherein comet dishonors your recs with his bad onions:
Boredoms: first track is a great post rock sprawl, equally reminding me of Long Season and La Novia with nice spacelady vocalizationing. Second one not quite dynamic enough for its length, would be nice at 7 or 8 min, stilll pleasant tho
Mothers: having already heard WOIIFTM, this feels samey even if it came first. I guess my threshold for being Wow'd by this is 1 album. Still lots of good stuff that I'm sure will grow on me with more listens.
Smile: album proper is nice but a bit of an incohesive mess I'm afraid, but the bonus materials are fascinating and very enjoyable, the kind of thing I'd like for all my favorite albums. A peek inside. Album proper didn't live up to the hype (could it possibly?) by even trying to correct for that, a little flat.
Alina: classical is so drastically not in my wheelhouse that I maybe should have asked for a different rec. this was very elegant and beautiful but not something I actively enjoy or would revisit. My failing, not its.
Kanye: skits 0.5, a few songs 1.0, other songs 4.5. Very mixed bag but some here (we don't care, family business) hit me good and will be spun all summer.
Fishmans: it's good
Terminus wins! 25 album drone, or... (next post)
Samuel Johnson
>Terminus wins! 25 album drone, or... or: Pick five movements/subgenres/etc and give me a 3-5 album crash course in each (pick this option, dude)
Hudson Howard
Also offering EthyBoy a 10 album drone for having the best rec from the tourney
Ethan Hall
All right, let me get back to you in a little. I'll have some Comet-approved picks.
Adrian Richardson

Cameron Scott
Rise Against - Wolves
Joseph Turner
Angles 9 - Disappeared Behind the Sun (thanks Accel for making me put this one in my backlog chart it's p good)
Btw I'd like recs from 2017 too.
Jordan Gutierrez
Forest Swords - Compassion /daily/'s been lukewarm on it but I disagree
Camden Rodriguez
camedor - en ut / alba I don't need a rec tho, still doing the /daily/core but if you want to then do it
Julian Murphy
>genre Alternative/Indie Rock >rec Girls Pissing On Girls Pissing - Eeling
>genres Jazz >rec Tigran Hamasyan - Shadow Theater
>genre Experimental >rec Allegheny White Fish - Allegheny White Fish Tapes
i'll just throw one at ya in case anyone else is browsin & needs a rec
Is this the real hampus, acting as though mass produced top 40 stuff is just the same as other 'pop' is poor, i expect higher quality shitposting
Caleb Peterson

Asher Rodriguez
Pop is pop.
You're really stretching this thin.
Jace Hernandez

Aiden Bell
>new NIN >new GY!BE Second half of 2017 is shaping up to be p great eh
Brandon Wright
Don't particularly care about GY!BE but the year seems to be really good so far with a lot of cool shit to come!
Matthew Morales
Anyone listened to this yet?
Ryan Murphy
didn't even know it was released! downloading rn. do you like it?
Noah Adams
noice, downloading right now. The new Cornelius is supposed to be out around this month right?
I loved their last one so high expectations for me. The first half of the year failed to capture me but I listened to too little music from this year so far.
Brandon Foster
won again im too good
ok sure if i can think of 5 movements/subgenres etc but do keep in mind im not exactly an expert so if i pick 5 it's mostly gonna be based on my personal taste + what i feel is representative of whichever category i choose and that's all subjective etc
not bad
>McDate thats so capitalist
by "this shit", do you mean "this thing" or "this shit (cuz it's bad)"?
Julian Fisher
Literally just a few minutes in, but my expectations are low. I'm a bit bored of Boris unfortunately.
