Definitely a throwback to the earlier Raster sound. Not mindblowing but quite enjoyable.

I like parts of it but those noodly solos are a bit much.

Ok I ported this over to electron and got regular releases going here: https://github.com/milesegan/minimoon/releases

Also I will eventually package this up into an easier to use form but for now you have to get your hands dirty on the command line.

I've been unhappy with the current state of player apps for local music libraries so I've started hacking one up myself. It's currently very basic and requires you to have some basic unix skills to get it going but it works for scanning and browsing a library and playing songs. This is a side project so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to hack on it but I'm already using it as my main player. https://github.com/milesegan/minimoon Suggestions for new features always welcome.

I like some tracks more than others on this but overall well worth a listen.

Can't say I'm into it either. Would be better without the vocals.

The best ambient records tell a story. This one somehow manages to tell a very somber story that's also completely engrossing. Likely end of year list material for me. I like this ambient kick Ilian has been on of late.

I guess this came out in June but I missed it. This inhabits some kind of in-between post-techno/ambient space. Her last album got an awful lot of play around here and I think this one will too.

Never heard of T-Flex or this label before but the samples sound good.

Record of the week at least for me.

Oops that’s what I get for searching for “wordcolor”.

Really impressive production and range of moods and styles here.

My policy is to ignore "critics" that have never created anything themselves and don't understand the creative process. Saves me a lot of time.

Pitchfork is just a bunch of frustrated hipster english majors. Ignore. Also, assigning numeric ratings to music is idiotic, especially fractional numeric ratings.

Cory Arcane is still my favorite Kangding release by a pretty wide margin. This one didn't grab me on a quick preview but I should give it a full spin.

Yeah Plays Bee Mask is fantastic. I've liked other things he's done but that would be my pick.

I still remember listening obsessively to Module 2 when it first came out. This makes me feel extremely old. It's great he's still going.

I can't remember the last time I thought a "Best New Music" album on Pitchfork was worth a damn.

This probably isn't fair to say but it kinda seems to me Matmos has been making the same record over and over again for a while now.

Stupid but fun primitive dance music.

Yeah impressive lineup. I really enjoyed Laurence Pike's last LP too.

Heavy, intricate Latin rhythms with a deft understanding of techno & house mechanics. You don't see me in clubs much lately but I'd go out to hear this on a big PA.

I guess you could call this abstract electro? Impressive composition and sound design.
