I try to buy stuff I really like off Bandcamp but it seems like a losing battle. Even records that get a lot of good reviews on forums like this often only have 20 or fewer buyers. Not enough money to do anything with and certainly not enough to live on. I don't like what streaming is doing to music but it seems unstoppable.

This is extremely impressive for music made entirely in nanoloop.

I have something controversial tot say. I haven't returned to sign or plus since they released. Idk, even though i put them on my fav albums of 2020 list it doesn't sit right with me.
Ae's music has been like this for me since Quaristice. It's music I admire more than I enjoy.

my take is that there are amazing tracks on all of them so far and you're a fool for not listening to everything he puts out. sifting through it all is part of the fun. the lesser tracks put you in colundi headspace and uncovering a gem is a great discovery
He's put out some of my favorite electronic music over the last few years and I've bought everything he's put out. I think I'm going to have to start being more selective though. I'm definitely going to keep listening.

2020 was full of album disappointments for me. A ton of the stuff everybody loved did nothing for me. In general I'd rather just keep quiet than trash somebody else's work so I haven't posted much about these.
Luckily there were also tons of records I loved this year. Music was just about the only thing that wasn't horrible in 2020.

I can always count on you to catch my references from like a quarter century ago. You also must be painfully old
A quarter of a century is nothing!
Those Sun Electric records still sound good to me in the right mood though. Takes me back to listening to them on San Francisco trains on my discman.

I’m still digesting the Spectrum stuff. I think these are going to have to be the first new Aleksi releases in a while I’m going to be content to stream and not buy off bandcamp.

There's a bunch of stuff in here I haven't heard but so far I'm liking a lot of these on a first skip through.

Damn this is nice, is it really the soundtrack to something? Can't find it but would love to see it.
Not sure but it deserves a film to go with.

Norman always puts out a unique list. Tons of stuff on here I haven’t heard.
Their #1 pick, Craven Faults, is something I completely missed. Listening now. Sounds interesting.

Yeah Norman is my go to for non electronic music and even their electronic music picks are usually worth a listen.
-
Really nice ambient/soundtrack work here with some strong melodic hooks and some heavy bass where needed. Never heard of this guy before but I'll be paying attention now.

Now that Bleep's top 50 is out and I can compare it to Boomkat's I have to say I'm just not aligned with Boomkat's tastes much anymore. They seem to be trying way too hard to identify music they think is important by the ever changing standard of the day than they are to find music that's just enjoyable to listen to. Too cool for school but not fun.

As much as I really like a lot of the stuff he's done in the last few years I do wish he'd do a bit more editing. It feels like these four albums could have easily been just one of 100% strong tracks. I now have 24 albums from him in my collection and I'm not sure I have room for very many more.

Glad to read I’m not the only one around here to love Jam City / his 2020 LP. Such a talented producer.
Yeah that was one of my most pleasant surprises for me since none of his earlier stuff did much for me. His new direction is great.

Kettel- Dwingeloo Life Extension. https://kettel.bandcamp.com/track/bear-creek . This is not the ambient album I expected from Kettel, much darker then what he normally goes for. Very unique ambient album, never heard anything quite like it. https://kettel.bandcamp.com/album/dwingeloo-life-extension
This is good. Thanks for the tip.

2020 Best
* Kelpe - Run With The Floating, Weightless Slowness
Gentle, bucolic sync synth meditations that were much needed in the early months of 2020.
* KhalilH2OP - Seid
Chaotic, cut up urban soundscapes that feel genuinely futuristic.
* Leo Takami - Felis Cats and Silence
A quiet, joyful interplay of jazz guitar and ambient interludes that really work together.
* Nathan Fake - Blizzards
Shuffled, shifting beats and great sound design.
* Nubo - Nu Vision
Intricate Japanese neon sound collage out of left field.
* V. Kristoff - Sydra
If anything deserves to be called dreampunk it’s this.
* Autechre - Sign
Autechre makes their prettiest and most enjoyable album in years.
* Domenique Dumont - People on Sunday
Electronic listening music of the first order.
* Fools - Fools Harp, Vol. 1
Grizzly Bear’s drummer tries his hand at library music thing with excellent results.
* Hotspring - Obit for Sunshade
Ruminating post rock daydreams.
* Jam City - Pillowland
Noisy pop anthems with tenacious hooks.
* Kevin Morby - Sundowner
The apocalyptic American folk record somebody had to make this year.
* Dylan Henner - The Invention of the Human
Hypnotic vocal collage.
* Quicksails - Blue Rise
Prog electronics that’s not afraid to get noisy to get the point across.

I liked this well enough but no way I’d call it album of the year. It’s too simplistic for that.
I find myself less in line with Boomkat’s tastes these days too.
-
Yeah this is one of my most listened records of the year. Works in foreground or background.
-
Digging this. Analog synth arp goodness. Sort of an updated Berlin school vibe. Noticed Arovane bought himself a copy on BC.
Plus the graphic design for this label is seriously on point.

No digitals means I ignore it. Sorry there’s just way too much great new music coming out right now to leave any room for that kind of elitism or arrogance. I won’t even bother to look for a rip.

I already have so much of his music but he keeps on coming up with new twists. With the insane volume of music he puts out not all of it is great but at his best I'd say he's my favorite electronic musician at the moment.
Album of the year 2020

Compared to the rest of the internet these days I'd say this forum is surprisingly mature and polite. Not perfect but way better than average.
