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.
Restrictions for next rec: 1. MUST have at least 100 ratings 2. MUST be between 20 minutes and 2 hours 3. Any release other than an EP or Single is fine (archival, bootlegs, live, mixtapes, DJ mixes, etc all work) 4. must be something I haven't rated yet
Need recs from Moregwessor GFR Lamb Torts (?) Jangle Rudi Nat Huit Borzoi Yamir Stick Breadhead And probably nyar since jangle doesn't want to rec me something with over 100 ratings
Everyone gets a week from last night to rec me something and jangle gets one day
thanks to everyone else for playing :D
Also Torts, am I supposed to listen to the EP or the album of the same name you recced me? Because the album doesn't have 100 ratings.
>Sondre Lerche - Faces Down Pretty nice signer/songwriter. Lyrics are good, instrumentation is good. All around good but nothing I will remember tomorrow. 5/10 >King Krule - King Krule The voice is what mainly does it for me, something charming in that bloke voice. Besides that the instrumentation is fine but nothing to write home about. 5/10 >Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala Wow this instrumentation is amazing and wow these lyrics are corny as hell. But if you ignore the lyrics, which aren't even that bad, this is a beautiful record. The strings man those god damn strings make everything come together. 7/10
(Just gonna take the time to point out how great a Christmas music review duo "FishleToe and MistleTorts" would be)

o wait >MUST have at least 100 ratings heck... >checks >Kadhja has 101 ratings eyyyyyyyyyy!
Levi Long
oh I see the question mark, the RYM one with 100+ ratings is an EP that doesn't exist. I was reccing the album version that has no ratings.
Frig.
I'm pretty sure, though ,everybody just rated the fake non-existent EP because it was the only thing in her discog on RYM for a while.
Album is here, kbonet.com/ and at least one thing with the exact same title/name has 100+ ratings.
:^) Does it count or do I need to rec again?
Caleb Gray
yeah I'm gonna need a rec from nyar
nvm man
added
yes
just rec me somethin' else

Listened to the Hard-Fi album "Stars of CCTV" as an effort to recall nostalgic memories of the past where "Hard to Beat" and "Living For the Weekend" where frequently played on the radio and my lord do I have mixed feelings about this. There are tracks like Middle Eastern Holiday where they pull garage influence well though for the most part it is blatantly overproduced and inconsistent in quality to the point where I felt kinda sick midway through the album. Since my brother is a huge fan of them and Razorlight figured I'd give it a go though it was just as difficult as I'd imagined, multiple listens aren't really helping either.
With that noted what artists do your siblings like and what are your thoughts on them? Have they influenced you at all?
Can you send us a link to your rym page please? Just to make sure that I do not send you an album that you are already familiar with.
Owen Reed
>just rec me somethin' else D; heck
Doug Snyder & Bob Thompson - Daily Dance
considering the title of this album and how I memed it back in the day, I'm shocked you haven't rated this yet. (I should meme it until it becomes /daily/core desu)

(accel) vektroid's noisier/glitchier stuff is her best. check out big danger when you get a chance. it's like if aaron dilloway made vaporwave.
(fish) wew dark times bee movie is extremely funny from a conceptual perspective, as in "jerry was shitposting about making an awful kids movie and then they made an awful kids movie on accident."
>5. GFR: 8.0+ oh cool stiff competition though. what's jimmy's album called?also, didn't expect you to like $uccessor. my rec is Richard Dawson - The Magic Bridge
(furfag user) cool
on it. don't tell oilslick.
Cameron Evans
i didnt like that either, when i heard it last year I guess i prefer their more traditional vaporwave releases (telnet erotika, Color ocean road, Shader) that and New Dreams Ltd. - Initiation Tape (Isle of Avalon Edition) was probably my first and favorite album from them.
Apologies for the confusion, I mistook your thumbnail as being a conspiracy info-graph on the Pentagon. Still, it'll help for future reference. Have a nice day!
>Lift to Experience - The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads This is one of my favorite albums ever. Great drums, spoken word, walls of sound, an amazing story, amazing lyrics, almost feels custom made for me. 9/10 >The Trees Community - The Christ Tree I never expected to find another band that sounded like Comus. This is good, great atmosphere, ok lyrics, good instrumentation. Nothing that really stuck with me. 5/10 >Half-handed Cloud - Flying Scroll Flight Control Cute indie pop about Jesus. I should hate this. This should be a 1. Thankfully the songs are fun and the lyrics said with some passion. They actually like god unlike so much other religious indie pop. 5/10
Owen Perry
Hey... where did Zara go? Seemed like a nice newtrip :'(

Wyatt Watson

Andrew Price
Here we go everyone, especially caviarr, lamb, ricebeansandegg, and Hope this one is correct, if you spot any errors, write to me
>And probably nyar That's good enough for me Have you heard smog- the doctor came at dawn? On mobile otherwise I'd just check your rym
No stop please

Jason James
I have heard that one
also jangle decided to stop being a stinker, so I'll give you the rec if moregwessor, lamb, rudi, nat, or borzoi doesn't give me a rec in the week
Oliver Morales
>and how about I listen to it however I want? (which will probably be with headphones, to be fair) I'm just saying it's a really subtle record so playing it in a noisy environment is not appropriate. Basically treat it like Time Machines.
Zachary Parker
I’m looking but I wanted sth classical and have a hard time finding sth >100 ratings that I think you’ll like so I’ll probably have to go with sth else :) I’m looking though!
Ian Allen
Damn Also how Nyar is the fact that I got 21st out of 40 in an elimination situation?? Like wow man
Liam Campbell
I will never
Elijah Russell
I bet it stink and will sound like poo poo pee pee
take your time :) I believe in u!
vry proud of u boy
Only one I see not giving a rec is Moregwessor, who hasn't posted since the 18th. I pm'd on rym tho so who knows.
Chase Russell
Why does it have to be 20 minutes +? :( I have a 16 minutes album I think you'll love but I can find something else
Jonathan Hall
rec the 16 minute album and if it looks realreal good I'll consider
Isaiah Myers
>I bet it stink and will sound like poo poo pee pee Yes, you will probably not like it :8)
Also I love how effortlessly you're going through this. When fish rated peoples' favorite albums he got so much shit
Sebastian Walker
That's because he likes being insulted. Like Beji and aqam before him.
Sebastian Flores
Not gonna lie solo violin improv scares me a bit.
I leave it up to the fact I'm new and plebby that people are letting me get away with lower scores. I've only been told to piss off by one guy so I consider myself lucky.
Anthony James
Still no lengthy reviews as I'm just not up for it, but I'll drop my thoughts so I can officially "finish" this chart though I've been done with it for a few days now
>Rashad Becker - Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. II This man has 1739 technical credits according to discogs and is unquestionably one of the best mastering engineers in the game. So it comes as no surprise to me that he is able to create this mind bending array of electronic tones whose sound and textures alone are interesting enough to support an album let alone the compositions themselves.
>Mark Isham - Vapor Drawings Somehow not cheesy new age progressive electronic. The way it is produced sounds like a tiny electronic symphony. It's so inhuman yet so warm. Overall an incredibly well put together album with moments of pure, unabashed joy thanks to the most patriotic trumpet playing I've heard to date plus the reverbed kick drums. Reminds me of Eno's best early electronic work.
>Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music A beautiful mess, that's for sure. This album tries to tackle so many themes and moods in a rather cinematic fashion, occasionally falling a little flat as a result. I for one don't think the mix of jazz and classical makes sense, and I didn't care for the spoken word segment either. However, the raw talent that pervades this album is undeniable, and there is so much going on in each song I can't even begin wrap my head around how this was composed. Would only be a pretty good album if not for the literal 10/10 songs "The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive Ass Slippers" and "Hobo Ho". There is so much life to those two tracks. Mingus sure knows how to handle a brass section.
Feel free to drop me some recs for my next chart.
Jackson Harris

Elijah Hall
eh. interested to see how that record does, given that richard's albums have gotten a 5 and an 8 before.
nah. is it good? i usually like ramona's experimental side a lot more. it's part of the reason i like floral shoppe to this day.
Jose Collins
>atmospheric drum and bass Didn't know this was a thing
Luis Rodriguez
I remember being really perplexed by it 3 years ago, it's a darker type of weird from what I heard of Seed & Synthetic Earth. and it's got good album art and wtf i like floral shoppe for the opposite of its experimental side two different sides to that album, in a way
me too until recently
Samuel Reyes
It is. The really weird stuff doesn't start happening until side B, though.
A bunch of Ukrainians living in Canada have an existential crisis after listening to Pere Ubu and Henry Cow.
Daniel Jenkins
for it's time, it was pretty radical in its approach, at least as far as content distributed online goes. will check out yr rec.
Jaxson Cruz
>Franz Schubert - String Quartet No. 15 G-major Op. 161 DV 887 I am not a classical music guy so I have no idea what I should say. It sounded tense yet pretty. This review sucks fat dick but the album was good. 6/10 >John Coltrane - Sun Ship Elvin Jones is my favorite jazz drummer and holy shit this album made me want to practice so bad. Actually I paused at Amen to work on dynamics. Its crazy avant-garde spiritual jazz and I love it. So good, so god damn good. Could defiantly score higher in the future. 8/10 >FKA twigs - M3LL155X Way better than I thought it would be. Good lyrics, great beats, and grimy and glitchy as all hell. Good stuff. 6/10
Jacob Evans
anyone know of some decent netlabels to send an ambient album/EP to? also is there some kinda discord that I can lurk in lol
Brandon Foster
>Could defiantly score >defiantly hnngh
Jayden Brooks
the /daily/ netlabel of course
Xavier Harris
Oh god damn it, of course I missed that
Cooper Price
Rod has a label, I think
Brayden Torres
...
Colton Cooper
I'm sold. I need a dl tho.
Jose Lewis
oh damn, I didn't know /daily/ had one, thanks for letting me know whoever runs it hit me up at [email protected]
Stuart Dempster - In the Great Abbey of Clement VI Ambient music is all atmosphere, which the first and third track (added post-release in a new issue) are really nice, and feature some echoey trombone takes from inside a large concert hall. The second track uses a PVC pipe as the instrument, and while making some interesting and pleasant noises doesn't convey much atmosphere. Still a great album by a forward thinking artist, and certainly worth a listen for track 3. 7.5 /10
The other one is good avantgarde jazz that I don't feel like writing about, listen to it if you like above average avantgarde jazz.
Thomas Gray
holy fucking shit
Andrew Sanders
i know about your ambivalence towards I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, but how come you didn't like My Woman?
Isaiah Sanchez
accel vs letov >Hilary Hahn & Hauschka - Silfra Interesting and beautiful album, the playing from both of them is great but what I liked the most is the incorporation of droning segments, sadly this just happens for brief moments here and there. 7+
>Tim Buckley - Dream Letter (Live in London 1968) I mean, we all know about Tim's vocal delivery, by listening to his studio albums it was kind of obvious how he was at his peak around late 60s, this wonderful live performance just reafirms that. The voice as an instrument is the main thing to considerate here, but also is remarkable how tight is the band playing. It's almost 2 hours and there's not a weak moment from any of the 4 guys playing on there. 9+
holy fuck I fucked up, how do i fix this guys honestly I'm impressed with the score you gave it, I was expecting much worse
Elijah Perry
stop listening to music
Cameron White
okay, that's fair.
i'd still recommend giving strange cacti and burn your fire for no witness listens, though. strange cacti is one of my favorite releases of the decade, and burn your fire has some great tracks in the same vein as shut up kiss me.
