^ haha so true

Western Quinox speax truf.

Cosmogramm by Flying Lotus has been bowing my mind

Oh... I'm gonna download it IMMEDIATELY then !

EDIT : Hi, this album is awesome, bye.

new WOMEN album seems nice
had a quick listen yet, but its deffo good.

there's no way that that cannabis pyschosis suffering panic attack having chubsy indie superstar dude is going to have pulled something good out of the bag.

is it really good? i'm going to d/l myself soon but i doubt it.

No it's a pile of shit.

GASP!

nails - unsilent death is good. in that for a release with song titles like "scum will rise" it actually does sound pretty scummy

machinefabriek - dass - can't believe i wasn't aware of this guy sooner, caretaker/basiniski like atmospheres only dronier and usually riding out close to one wave of tone at a time. only louder at times, and the mood can get dark. deceptively varied record, which is smart if your'e doing this type of drone. i like it because he has obviously put some effort into subtly varying things, you get the sense that some work has actually been done here and he has explored his soundscape well and carefully thought about what put in, its a mature piece of work. take note all dronemen. and you should pronounce the word dronemen i just made up like dronemin, with the men part really short so it sounds better.
beach fossils - like beach house in that its got the word beach in it and its summery, only i still want to listen to it.
total abuse - mutt - this is fucking incredible, the songs discipline and caligula especially. at some points it maybe stretches out the same thing too much but you forgive it because it has the feel like its one whole long set or was recorded in one take. an album of aggressive hardcorer punk anger shit like this can get tedious but its solid. mighty.
naked on the vague- heaps of nothing has already been mentioned in this thread, and i've already raved about it sufficently in the one i made about it, get this, you will like it.

and the broken deer album isn't out or leaked yet but i know by the one song that is out that it will be very high on the end of year list.

as for cosmogramma. i don't get the massive hype it has had on this board, from so many people. to me its ok but its not exactly something im going to listen to that much. especially the last few tracks, he adds in some banging beat over them thats too loud and doesnt fit and sounds like he's got timid about being so light and letting it lie and he's trying to make it, i dunno more masculine or something? it didnt work for me and i thought it spoilt those tracks.

and the people here that can tolerate folk stuff (not me) should check out wovenhand, since aquarius are raving to fuck about them, i know they always do that about everyone but its especially heavy this time.

Fuck yeah, love machinefabriek

So, seems like Seiichi Yamamoto has a new project called Chaos Jockey (guitar + drums duo) and the first release is already out there.

More info @ http://www.wordisout.jp/wordisout/chaosjockey.html

thank you. seiichi yamamoto is the greatest guitarist ever.

wavves-rich fat kid on weed making god awful music we heard before like a gizzalion times

Clpid Beaks album is quite fine in other news.

You're welcome. If by any chance you or someone else get the album, please give a heads-up right here, I'm having trouble finding it.

There's an Avey Tare solo record coming out in October. Awesome.

me neither. a lot of music sucks.

Then you'll enjoy what you've listened to a whole lot more. Listening to 100+ new titles within a year seems a tab oversaturation in my opinion.

I guess. Even the albums I like don't really strike me as much as all the stuff I listened to last year. That Ikonika album has really gotten probably 100 plays from me, though... for some reason, it's gotten a lot of derision on certain corners of the internet, kinda sad since it's SO addictive.. melodically creative, extremely listenable, with tons of depth... Anyway, I would have listened to a lot more stuff but I'm stuck on trance goa right now.
