Lorn - Ask The Dust 2012

lorn! it's like scorn, but with an L! compared to his first album, this is self-described as “haunted, oily, smeared". which is valid.

Pavel Dovgal - Cassiopeia 2010

update: this is paul's from 12/13/10, but i never got it before he removed the link following our proxy war with that one asshole. i have a different review, but if you just read the track titles and know that the last song (LA) is half of a fancy mike song, youll get the idea.

Background-y dubstep, feels like intermission music or something. It's really fuckin short though so it's not hard to give it a listen. I quite like Sacred Chants of Shiva. The genre tag on one of the digital outlets carrying this calls it "Skweee/Wonky/Aquacrunk". Lolwut? I certainly didn't feel trapped in an aquarium or felt it was particularly drippy/bubbly/wet. But now I am determined to find tr00 aquacrunk.

Amon Tobin - ISAM 2011

late to post because i used to worry about DMCAs. this fucker is on some level completely alone. monthly joints is certainly more palatable, but this album (from the start) had me twitching and humming of 'autech-step' to myself.

see him, please (10/18 or 19). even if it's already sold out. ignore the terror that is his voice (see video), and anticipate visuals that completely supersede bassnectar and big gigantic.

ingest DOI or 2CI and prepare to construct a city of dataflow. IODO-EVERYTHING.



the review quoted in the video:

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15519-isam/


i can't get enough of reading pitchfork reviews. it's like learning to speak and comprehend a foreign language for years, and then suddenly finding the language is split into 'normal' and 'who the fuck let you form sentences?! you are an abortion doctor for words.'


"Tobin used to be a dependable, dedicated craftsman, but he's intent on transitioning to full-on sonic artist. He has the ideas: ISAM's pieces keep wandering into unmarked industrial zones, evoking broken things and blight. But this is heavy, foreboding music; Tobin hasn't yet learned how to balance his robust sound-art impulses with footholds for his listeners. He'll get there-- he's frankly too talented not to-- but ISAM feels like a transitional album, for his fans if not for him."


i understand that i usually shit out sentences that flow like a vodka-soaked tampon, but...come on.

do you remember constructing grammatical sentence diagrams in middle school? the best part of that review is that a sentence diagram of the entire thing would look like a mandelbrot set.

META ACCOMPLISHED


god i wish i had robust sound-art impulses with footholds.

Elliot - Found Sounds 2011

it's really, really reminiscent of disrupt, only jazzy 8-bitty trip hop instead of tron-laced dub. it's also very similar to fancy mike but, i dunno, with just airy walls of minor pads fading around loudly. and its short as dicks.

too...goddamn spacey to sit around lorn's macabre tone, not nearly awake enough to compare to rustie.

fancy mike + disrupt + broken soul-tipper. that's the one.

THE BEGINNING OF KVXD!

Get it!

Tipper - Tip Hop (2005)

What were you doing in 2005? If you weren't listening to this album, you fucked up. And if you don't make any attempt to rectify the situation by acquiring this album immediately, then you're fucking up again.

REDEEM YOURSELF.

Ill-esha - Black Ice (Part 1 - North America Excursion)

A more downtempo, "softer" release. Still really great at loud volumes and during mindless internet surfing. Someone's singing in this and I lourve it.

Ample Mammal - Mating Season

Similar to Girl Talk in that they're both mash-up artists but this guy's samples and synths and everything are glitched to oblivion and at some points beyond recognizability. It's a really trippy ride through this whole downtempo cd, worth a listen all the way through and deciding if you like it or not. Some tracks are glitchy to the point of incoherence but only briefly. Trapped inside a Single Cell Organism has one of the most catchy/somber synth notes ever and it's incredible. I really enjoy this album, a cover to cover listen is needed to judge it, don't try to skip around previewing the tracks.

1. We Come in Pieces
2. Wildebeest Tactics for the 21st Century
3. Blocked Friend Request
4. Benjamin Beemin'
5. Future Versus Calculator
6. Spacecrunkadelix
7. Set Yourself on Fire (Musclehawk)
8. The End of Fluorescent
9. Death by Sex in the Marine Environment
10. Trapped in a Single Celled Organism
11. Pushing Time
12. The Atmosphere
13. Spacecrunkadelix Pt. 2
14. Florida Slowdown

Also here is his remix of Cozza Frenzy! Glitched out, chopped up and funky, great fucking remix.

Mike Armine - Verse EP 2010

the giant skinny rosetta vocalist. its the rosetta type of drone (a la cleansing undertones of wake/lift, or the 2nd cd of galilean satellites - you know, the one that's designed to be played at the exact same time as the first disk? novel, but fucking wasteful), very electronic, some minor percussion and noise and fuzz. kind of like some stars of the lid. its good though. except it goes real fuckin quick and is over too soon.
