'Some favorites from the last couple years.'
--
1. Saine - Insights ep (tokyo dawn 04)
tokyodawn
comments: This is perhaps the most sweet set of tunes in the universe. Enough said.
2. Dighom - Vibrating Colours (autoplate 09)
autoplate
comments: This is intensly gorgeous works that sucks your mind into it instantly. I could listen to (in particular to tracks 1 and 3) on an endless loop forever without getting tired of it. This is top notch ambient.
3. Emil Klotzch - Sandkorn (one 17)
one
comments: Crunchy idm beats that punch your brain like they should, nice strange mix of sounds. This is a great listen the whole way through.
4. Aphilas - Instrumentally Ill (miasmah 49)
miasmah
comments: An absolutely SUPERB offering of mixed-up vinyl, chill beat mastery. Some of the finest trip-hop I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
5. Leutohm - Fluid ep (alpinechic 02)
alpinechic
comments: Excellent downtempo for chillin' in your pj's and puffin' down a doob. Quality.
6. Marko Feurstenberg - Useless Cutz (Stadtgruen 05)
stadtgruen
comments: Maintains the 4/4 groove while unleashing a barrage of manipulations usually reserved for the more 'idm' territories. I found these cuts anything but useless.
7. ST - I'll Meet You There ep (monotonik 140)
monotonik
comments: Well produced emotional electro-pop, easy to listen to.
8. Inceptdate - Attics & Inventory (lifeform project 002)
lifeform project
comments: Highly addictive cut-up, sliced, and diced hip-hopish action.
9. Xhale - Slugabed (miasmah 56)
miasmah
comments: Complex clicky beats merge with equally complex melodies. Mysterious, Beautiful, Paranoid, a myriad of manipulations.
10. Paniq - Mentalmilestones (self released?)
paniq
comments: Paniq was/is one of my favorite of the old skool trackers. Still pushing it out with style, this release covers a nice broad slice of the electronic pie.
11. Beak - Amoral Mayor Earwig (montonik 136)
monotonik
comments: Clever guitar arrangments and skillful beats combine to make a sound that I don't think i've ever quite heard.
12. Troupe - Crepuscular ep (backtrack 04)
backtrack
comments: It would be shame for any lover of melodic electronic music to miss this release! The release never gets negative but instead inhibits a nice smile on to appear on your face.
13. Idmonster - The Pleasures of Life (Red Antenna 06)
red antenna
comments: The pleasures of life will come to you, you've only got to find them. Well, here is one of them, good music.
14. Disrupt - A Fistful of Dub (Phonocake 24)
phonocake
comments: Nice spaced-out dub, sure to get your head bobbin' from the jahtari master.
15. Lump - 3 Feet Down & Sinking (textone 15)
textone
comments: Further proof that all the best music comes from Finland! An interesting take on a familiar soundscape. p.s.- Just checked out the new one 'vending machine' also on textone, and it is excellent as well.
16. Hofuku Sochi - Live in NY 1982 (camomille 73)
camomille
comments: Nice meditative dub works that had me running to my playlist to see who it was. Great thinking music.
17. FusedMARc - Contraction ep (Sutemos 09)
sutemos
comments: This would probably be much farther up on my list, but I've only had a few days to process it. Some of the best vocal electronic i've heard in a long time. Has a feeling somewhere in the vein of commericial acts like laika, or bjork.
18. Michl Bridge - Lotos Before Blossom ep (hippocamp 51)
hippocamp
comments: Some chill melodic electronic with all the twists and turns in the right places. Great for getting yourself into a good mood.
19. Schro - The Relation ep (observatory online 31)
observatory online
comments: Some excellent mellow guitar based jams.
20. Alan "The Grinder" Dowell - Grinded (schleudertrauma 42)
schleudertrauma
comments: If you just love hurting your ears with excellent noise pain, lets these tracks grind through your brain. Great REALLY REALLY loud.
