Efrim Manuel Menuck - Pissing stars.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Dmitry Evgrafov - Compression of light. Listened to this all over xmas. A beautiful piece of work.
Mario Batkovic - Mario Batkovic. I would love a Stetson/Neufeld/ Batkovic record.

Thanks for recommending the Compression of Light album. I was looking for something Stars of the Lid/A Winged Victory for the Sullen'ish, and this is great so far.

Confession time: There's a Massive phone typo in my post It's meant to be comprehension of light...apols.

It was my album of the year last year, glad you’re liking it!

Autechre - EP7

 

[SpookyFrank]

Spiritualized Live at the Royal Albert Hall.

Annoyingly I've lost CD1 which has most of the best stuff on it

 

[stavros]

Astrobrite - Crush

 

[belboid]

Hookworms - Microshift

 

[flypanam]

Vivian girls - Everything goes
Empyrean atlas - Poly rush ep

 

[stavros]

Venera 4 - Eidôlon

I have to ration myself on this album, it's that good. Nearly four years on from its release, it still grows on me each time.

 

[8115]

Movern Callar Soundtrack.

 

[stavros]

Orbital - Orbital

 

[stavros]

Tricky - Maxinquaye

I find it odd that I've never been able to love this album, at least compared to what might be its peers, Blue Lines and Dummy. I came to all three very late, maybe around 2000 (blame my age).

 

[stavros]

The Rezillos - Can't Stand the Rezillos
The Delgados - Hate

 

[flypanam]

Johann Johannsson - Orphee

Rest in peace

 

[stavros]

Fugazi - End Hits

 

[Lazy Llama]

Baby Bird - The Greatest Hits (actually a compilation of songs from the lo-fi recordings).

Off to see them in May, first time in a looooong time, but I used to be mad for them. Missed his pre-Xmas gig due to prior commitments.
You going stavros ?

 

[stavros]

I'm not, no, although it'd be good. His back catalogue is huge, and I've always said how sad it is that such a good songwriter is doomed to be remembered by many for a novelty hit. Then again, song titles such as Failed Suicide Club were unlikely to top the charts.

The Fall - Grotesque (After the Gramme)

I'm slowly working my way through their back catalogue posthumously, although not necessarily in chronological order.

 

[stavros]

Scientist - Wins the World Cup

 

[flypanam]

Hour - Tiny houses

If DMST were from Philadelphia...

 

[stavros]

Squarepusher - Music is Rotted One Note

 

[stavros]

Eric B. & Rakim - Follow the Leader

I haven't listened to this for years. It's excellent.

 

[belboid]

Sugar - Copper Blue

 

[flypanam]

Angele David-Guillou - Mouvements Organiques

Its lovely. a top 20 contender already.

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine - 1992 The Love Album
Brian Eno - Apollo

Apparently, the Carter album made it to number one in the UK. I was too young for them at the time, but were they really ever that popular?

 

[stethoscope]

V/A - Biology presents Memories
The Fall - 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong
Goat - World Music

Brian Eno - Apollo

Yeah they were, even made to top of the pops with the only living boy in new cross. Of course fruitbat knocking over Philip schofield massively helped too. History has proven them right on that too. I was never a fan but lots of kids in my school were...in rural Ireland. So pretty popular.

The made some great pop songs. Musically, they'd have fitted ideally into TOTP. In a fairer world, they might have had a novelty hit, much like;

Baby Bird - Fatherhood

 

[stavros]

Public Service Broadcasting - The Race for Space

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Hardfloor

 

[stavros]

Melkbelly - Nothing Valley
Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing
