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.
this is probably the most british single i've ever listened to
Jace Jackson
Why people didn't liked this again? I'm relistening and that sludgy dirty bass and driving rhythms are sooooo good.
Nathan Butler
Good-evening /daily/. Tried the following recently.
>CAN - Monster Movie. Very much surprised me, quite an inventive record that is considerably ahead of its time, love Suzuki's vocals that have an oddly British tint to them, the guitar melodies on Mary, Mary are especially tight. >CAN - Soundtracks. I didn't enjoy this as much as Monster Movie though I still enjoyed it, the distortion and feedback was not as pronounced as on Monster Movie and I felt the album was more a case of the band applying their newly found krautrock sound into the emerging rock scene. Mother Sky is a brilliant 14-minute track though with some fairly soulful vocals atop a pulsing bass line. >Cornelius - Fantasma. I've never listened to Shibuya-kei before so this album naturally blew my mind when I first listened to it, the dual-panning and eruption of samples especially on Clash and Thank You For The Music were fantastic though could get pretty tiring on repeated listens, thankfully the album is well paced and has numerous breathers of joyous samples and slow-paced ambiance to keep things fresh. >Cornelius - Mellow Waves. Not as enjoyable as Fantasma though more chill, certainly feeling something of a GAS influence somewhere in the mix. Still one of the better releases to come out of this year. >Havok - Conformicide. Wasn't too keen on the skit at the beginning of Intention to Deceive though otherwise brilliant, could get somewhat cheesy in places though the soaring guitar leads coupled with some spectacular drumming created a fantastic album - and whilst I did not like the intro to Intention to Deceive the rest of the track was great. There's even some gosh darn slap bass, holy smokes! >Havok - Unnatural Selection. Feel I'm reaching the end of the character limit so I'll keep it brief here. I enjoyed it slightly more than Conformicide. >Nine Inch Nails - Add Violence. Strong 6.
Good-night, sweet dreams Yamir and have a considerably nice day afterwards.
Gabriel Anderson
hmm
Evan Brooks
>though could get pretty tiring on repeated listens I've been listening to Fantasma for some months and it really doesn't get tired. It's so much you can never memorize went stuff is gonna happen in certain tracks.
Btw have you heard Future Days yet?
Wyatt Richardson
>Bill Nelson - Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam >New Wave Art pop + Zolo Did not leave any significant impact on me. I recognize the Berlin synths, and that this took quite a while to come out, but it's just another album that seems to float indecisively between "engaging" and "flowing" for its genres, maybe because of Nelson's voice and the electronics I'd usually associate with calmness? I'll revisit this at some point.
6+/10
>Blacksheep - blacksheep >Avant-garde chamber jazz So there's a piano, trombone, and saxophone ALONE on this album, yet it still manages to remain fleshed out. The first track utilizes a star-twirling piano before fully erupting into free jazz, the trombone and sax playing off excellently. The piano being a percussion instrument and all, dissonant chord pounds are also interspersed, forming the heavier frequencies with the saxophone throughout the album. The way this album shifts between black and white moods (haha sheep) makes for a stunning listen, even with just three performers and NO DRUMS.
How was this album not noticed by ANYONE? Where do you even find this shit, lamb? what kind of travesty is this?
8/10
>Zom Zoms - Yellow Rainbow >Synthpunk/Zolo The combination of punk vocals and synths is moderately strange, while the square waves are particularly grating and Patrick Healy's vocals are unapologetically aggravating and manic. I'm not entirely keen to classics like Devo! in Zolo, but I'm finding the infusion of punk to be particularly unpleasant in this album.
4+/10
Ayden Howard
>Frank Pahl - The Romantic Side of Schizophrenia >Avant-Folk I started off numb to this, but Overture To Enrique Miasmo really got me into listening somehow. There are actually a few minimalism style compositions-- the hypnotizing plunge of Knives and Vegetables, the twilight stroll in Dirge #15, the eastern drones of Blues. Hell, even Exit sounds like an intoxicated Terry Riley prancing through a meadow.
The second half of the album seems a bit sparser, until the lovely Escabeche (Pickled Fish). And the fucking fog horn as the final track was actually grea. Can't say I fully appreciate the length of the album as a whole.
6+/10
>Bill Wells & Mahe Shalal Hash Baz - Gok >Big Band, Game-Over-screen music Off-colour notes and weak breath support seems to be the biggest part in seperating this from lounge music. It feels very cheap at first, but there's an undeniable charm to many moments that come from the disregard for technique-- it would take effort to halt set-in stone playing habits and mimic how you played in your first month of learning.
I think what first irritated me about this was that it reminded me of middle school band. Poxy is what made me imagine those awkward middle school performances-- the tuba's in the wrong key, the trumpets are too scared to play out, there's a few people trying to hold it together while the audience anxiously waits for the embarassment to be over. But that visceral image is exactly what made this album
It's when the group manages to pull together, or an intimate moment appears (On the Beach Boys Bus) that the satisfaction appears.
8-/10
>Pere Ubu - Terminal Tower >Post-Punk, Art Punk
i'm lookin inTO A HEART A DARKNESS
I didn't expect to enjoy this, but I ended up liking David Thomas' voice-- it's not youthful anger, it's middle-aged seething. And that's cool. Only tracks I were impartial to were Not Happy (bit too much there, Thomas) and Cloud 149
7/10
Jackson Nelson
alright lets get this started >Yamir - Yamir C. I've been meaning to listen to a Yam project for a while now, as I've honestly always been fascinated by his taste. Its cool to see how he incorporates all his influences. I feel like the album itself starts off really strong with its drones, falls off a bit, but picks up again quick with Compulsion. Overall, I really enjoyed it. 3.0+ >1999 - what is loved will never die idk which one of you guys this is, but I'm really conflicted on it. On one hand, the project is really solid from a musical standpoint. The piano is pretty and the songs are well constructed. Plus, I do like how raw the recordings are. But those vocals are honestly terrible. They remind me a lot of AJJ, but the vocals work for AJJ bc of the punky-feel to their music. In this case, it just sounds stupid, but at the same time, it weirdly fits. Still, I think the vocals ruined what is otherwise a really solid album for me. 2.5+
Levi Young
>The Bulgarian Voices "Angelite" & Huun-Huur-Tu - Fly, Fly My Sadness >T H R O A T S O N G
This makes the 10+ drone EPs and albums I listened to on Denmark's Phinery music label look like complete jokes. The female chorus' harmonies in the first track alone are already enough to give me chills, and once the ACTUAL throat singing comes in-- holy FUCK
Outside cultures realize the power behind dozens of human voices at once, which is what gives records like this so much impact. I like to listen to a lot of electronic music because of its ability to represent something outside of human experience; this album is completely grounded in soul while ascending into that same plane, and it willingly combines separate country sounds to fulfill this (something that may or may not be taboo for some people?)
A colossal, stunning multi-cultural mix. And it's just damn pleasant to hear over and over again
9/10
Brandon Ramirez
listen to Morbid Saint RIGHT FUCKING NOW
Andrew Hill
Not yet, I'm ridiculously hyped up for it as well as the previous two albums hence why I've only listened to the first two so far. Once I've got my 20 listens I'll try the next three. Really cannot wait to be honest though alas. Hopefully I won't be let down as I was with NEU! (even if my view on such improved on subsequent listens).
As a side note becoming rapidly convinced that this Belew solo at 7:00 is one of the best moments in live music history. youtube.com/watch?v=IUSoGl5pTKs
When you put it like that I suppose I have no other option user, thank-you. I shall put it on in just a moment, or at least most of the tracks (going to watch a film in 30 mins, not quite sure what though). Certainly going to stream the shit out of it if I can't fit it in my schedule today.

I decided to give Shinsei Kamattechan another listen, and holy shit these lyrics are depressing. I'm glad somebody translated them. I guess I need to check out Tsumanne because I never listened to much beyond their debut.
yes my cover is shitty on purpose but it's also shitty because I was too lazy to make anything good
just like my actual mix
Jaxon Reed
ah shit forgot to change album artist do i gotta re-up?

Nah, I can fiddle with the tags. Thanks.
Xavier Jackson
>Yamir C. - Yamir >PostRockAmbient yooo you collabed with Dear Laika? AND they play violin? very cool
I don't have much to say about this, other than I agree with Blapp in regards to the variety of sounds in here, almost genre-hopping (but why you keep using the "deep house" tag when there's no fucking deep house). The only track I wasn't too into was Angakok's spoken word, mainly because of its delivery. Other than that, it was solid. >I Pissed Into the Dark. It Smelled Like Canned Tuna. Very Relatable Lyrics
7/10
>Even Oxen - Even Oxen >Psych Christian Folk I have biases against Christian music, having been raised on empty Christian rock pumped out by a soulless industry. Reused metaphors, recycled alt-rock songs, vocals that sound like they have less passion than 80% of pop music.
Not this album, of course. Tracks like Ambulance with fluttering guitar samples, Pasture Grazing's distortions, and Beauty and Bonds' lovely cello feature have exponentially more personality and soul. And this madman actually brings up Sup Forums on a christian website's interview. I wish I was around when he posted more, what a cool guy
7/10
Benjamin Parker
Carlos Maria Trinidade / Nuno Canavarro - Mr. Wollogallu (1991) >Tribal Ambient, New Age I thought Carlos Maria Trinidade's tracks were consistently good, but man, it only takes Nuno Canavarro one track, "Blu Terra", to blow CMT out of the water. The rest of NC's tracks, while understated, really exemplify simple beauty.
The New Ageishness (arpeggiated dulcimer tones and synth swells galore) can be a bit overbearing, but the experimental nature of the music (weird noise effects and ghostly vocal samples [a surprising touch for electronic music in '91]) here actually grounds it well enough.
Unfortunately "Blu Terra" is far and away the best track here. "Aelux" was also pretty interesting, if seemingly undeveloped. >6+/10
I guess I ought to give Fantasma a relisten
Jaxson Adams
Wild Belle - Isles (2013) >Indie Pop, Indie Rock, Pop Reggae "Chuck Berry invented the paradigm of rock music: three minute melodic songs, mainly driven by the electric guitar over a rhythm section of bass and drums, and sometimes arranged with other instruments. Fifty years later the world audience of rock music had been served more than 100,000 collections of songs, for a grand total of more than one million songs. Every time a musician of the 2000s released an album that was a collection of three-minute songs, that musician had basically answered 'yes' to the question 'Does the world really need ten/fifteen more of these three-minute songs, so that the grand total goes from one million to one million and ten?'" >4-/10
Joshua Taylor
Sampha - Process (2017) >Alt R&B, Art Pop Sampha is apparently extremely British, if Process--a vibrant but homogenous mix of Jai Paul, UK underground dance (UK Bass, Trap, Future Garage, Dubstep, etc.) and Insomniac-era Radiohead--is any indication. While not incredibly innovative, the production could be Electronic British Music Canon-worthy.
Songs here often comes off as somewhat tacky (especially in the piano ballads "(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano" and "Take Me Inside") and trite, but if you're looking for a standout moment, there's plenty of frisson to be had in "Reverse Faults"--it's only more hair-raising with every verse and chorus. So I'm not sure if the whole album is a necessary listen, but at least it has "Reverse Faults". And while I can also see why people love "Timmy's Prayer" so much, but I can't help but laugh at lines like "If heaven's a prison, then I am your prisoner." >6-/10

>you collabed with Dear Laika? AND they play violin? they didnt do much, just the tremolos and the wankat the end. the main violin riff was done by me with some midis
>why you keep using the "deep house" tag when there's no fucking deep house) i never used it for that album, it's just for my most recent EP also i agree, my delivery was god awful and i should never ever utter a word again in my music
yamir s/t top secret: the violin has the same melody as the guitar solo in negativland - christianity is stupid })

Angel Wood
give it a few more listens, it REALLY opens up
Camden Stewart
Glad you liked them, I'm surprised that none of them dipped into 5 as well.
I'm not surprised about Fly, Fly My Sadness though, everyone loves the Tuva. The reason, by the way, Bulgarians and Tuvans are singing together is because they share (long distant) ancestral roots, and they wanted to show how different yet oddly compatible the styles are. So it's not some random mix, like some tribal ambient groups might do.
Jose Lewis
the only thing that's opening up is my mouth for yawns
and dick
I didn't research this album as much, I should have assumed there was some bigger connection than "they are nearby coutnry and why dont we sing together" >they wanted to show how different yet oddly compatible the styles are "oddly compatible" is understating it for me, they went together like spaghet and meatball
Hunter Morris
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002) >neo-psychedelia, psychedelic pop
"Do You Realize??" is really a lovely pop song. The arrangements are grandiose and kaleidoscopic but the songwriting is very down-to-earth, and incredibly pretty, to boot. That being said, I couldn't tell you /anything/ about the remaining ten tracks. "Fight Test" is alright, but it's a total Cat Stevens ripoff, and while "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1" has some cool stuff regarding the concept of the album and a delightfully twee vocal performance from Coyne, the second part amounts to little more than electronic noodling, just like the rest of the forgettable album.
2.0+
Khan Jamal - Drum Dance to the Motherland (1973) >free jazz
One of the weirdest jazz albums I've ever heard. Not one of the most free, or one of the most abrasive, just by and large one of the most unique, out-there jazz albums ever. A general spareness remains throughout the whole album, which is sometimes quite a bit of a negative, but the sheer fearlessness of this overrides any negative qualities. The effects iare absolutely insane, as is Jamal's detached vibraphone work coupled with the pounding drums.
3.0+
Bob Dylan - Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964) >contemporary folk, singer/songwriter
I've gathered that I really don't care for pre-Highway 61 Dylan. His style here is just really bland and overly simple, guitar strums and occasional harmonica bursts. For the guitarist he is, he's incredibly uncreative here, resorting only to simple strums, and his vocals are especially nasally here, and I usually love his voice. There are some mint songs here, "My Back Pages" and "It Ain't Me Babe" (

nyarl: i'm gonna work on the mixtape soon it's hard picking an oil painting from this century as a cover and i guess that's why i haven't started yet but i'm gonna start today Adnos I - III might be the next place you wanna go with Radigue if you want to listen to another of hers. As for Hahn I guess you could go with the Bach concertos. They're late baroque stuff and sound a bit like classical period as well. Or the Mendelssohn / Shostakovich, that one I like a lot, Meldelssohn's pretty accessible and Shostakovich's very interesting. >i might just end up droning yer whole top 100 buddy well then just wait until you get to the metal section :^)

>Have a Nice Life - Deathconciousness >Post Punk + Shoegaze Have you ever partially listened to an album, spent a long while away from it, but immediately recognize and enjoy a track after deciding to hear it through again?
"A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut" was that track, personally. From there, the album really weighs itself down with the same hopelessness further and further throughout the album, sometimes feeling lopsided in sound (Hunter) or trades it for questionable electronic use (Holy Fucking Shit). This doesn't mean that ALL of the album was a miss, being that the atmosphere was still great, but Earthmover is a redeemer for some weaker portions of this album.
6/10
>American Football - American Football >Midwest Emo
I've actually already listened to this in full, as my Shoegaze/Punk fan friend insisted. I didn't remember any of it, and now I know why.
A big part of this album's enjoyment for people seems to be the mood they're in for this, being introspective about their past, etc. The other part is the unmistakable duo between guitars and great drumming amidst the fuckier time signatures, which is what I can appreciate the most out of the repeated riffs and accessible melodies. So that keeps this out of 1-4 score ranges.
Will say that after touring so much, these guys' recent performances are above average.
5+/10
>Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion >Psych Pop
I thought this would be another album with one immensely enjoyable track and a mediocre body, but talk about a front-loaded album. Lion in a Coma, Taste, and Guys Eyes are completely forgettable, before the Brother Sport's fateful lines. It's a really decent pop album-- not experimental, but good pop.
