My favorite watmm thread every year. I discover more music in those type of threads then anywhere else. So without looking at people's list, here's my preliminary list: John Beltran- the Season's Series. https://johnbeltrandelsin.bandcamp.com/album/the-season-series Lustrous Orb, Sunflower, You internalize them, I can chase you forever are highlights but really its the entire album is so captivating, So beautiful, touching yet non cheesy. 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 Machinedrum- A View of U. Did not expect this at all. https://machinedrum.bandcamp.com/track/star-feat-mono-poly-taner-lle Bvdub- Wrath and Apathy. https://n5md.bandcamp.com/album/wrath-apathy Bvdub- Burn Back Time https://bvdub.bandcamp.com/album/burn-back-time Caribou- Suddenly. New Jade, Never Come Back, Ravi are so damn good. Caribou slash Daphni is getting better and better. https://caribouband.bandcamp.com/album/suddenly. https://caribouband.bandcamp.com/track/new-jade Honorable mentions: Four Tet- sixteen oceans Daniel Avery- Love + Light Schinichi Atobe- Yes Grimes- Miss something Dj Python- Mas amable Actress- Karma and desire Dj Metatron- Loops of infinity Arca- Kick i Yves Tumor- Heaven to a tortured Mind Avery and Cortini- Illusion of Time

its decent enough but just doesnt grab me at all. pretty decent way to switch beats I must say, but I find his melodies depressing and its just a dark album for me.

https://blueartsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/hallo-androiden This album is a masterpiece. Give this a spin, hard to be dissapointed with the melodies depth combined with the detroit type beats

r + seven is totally unique, nothing like it that said, this is somewhat reminisce of it:

Anyone?

beautiful stuff. really beautiful

Great album melodies are natural and emotional, strings are lovely Getting up to speed with Beltran work is a treat

haha, I really dont care enough about all this, I live in Canada, I dont follow any USA politics but I doubt that Trump makes a better job then what Kanye would do ( I may be wrong) , but from that interview, you can see that Kanye is crazy, but not a idiot and he seem to have some sort of decent values. Edit: @Hugh Mughnus hey fellow canadian, I live in Quebec

hilarious to say but id vote for Kanye. Hes kinda crazy, but I trust him when he says that he is able to recognize others being genius, the stuff about Utopia possible for everyone, etc.

wtf is Kanye talking about?

Im not asking for 2020 list. Ive been digging bleep list down to 2011. boomkat list. I dont quite find any top tracks list for 2019. are you sure they make top tracks? I only find "best release (album) 2019" https://bleep.com/100-tracks-2019

hey ive been finding tons of gems artist I never heard of while listening to the bleep top track end of year list Any other list I should look out for? cheers

Id go as far to say this is his, or should I say her's?, best album. some real bangers on here

I find no nigthmare pretty good actually. reminds me of that bon iver vibe edit: hmmm, yeah its kinda boring

Age of was borderline poor and I agree his new vocal direction is bleh but really the biggest problem i have with his music is that some parts of his tracks contains absolute unique gems, but he doesn't repeat those gems. 3 min of meh, then 1 min of gold. reminds me of some zappa somehow.

yeah its also my feelings, vapor and rooms I remember at the time thinking it was good, but ive revisisted this year and it didnt age well imo. this new album is much more "mature" I find.

Right? I wanted to mention it. it really reminds me of lone somehow his melodies on this track is so touching, im quite shock by this album. will explore Beltran discography. any pointers?

been way too long i havent listen to the album in full. there's so much memories around the time ive discovered this album. there was less good music around, internet wasnt taking away all my free time. social media didnt even exist. simpler times. I remember just randomly putting Xtal on. that was it, i was a fan.

been into Brahm Piano solo stuff lately

watmm is seriously sleeping on this. well I cant blame you, i was too. this album really impressed me and been on repeat since two weeks. even his ambients tracks on here are great. a moment away from you is such a special track. masterpiece. have that je-ne-sais-quoi in the melodies that is just visceral to me. then this fun kinda track and the finale, what a way to finish this album. soft summer, the strings at the end, the melodies, wouah,

matrix 14.2 is ridiculous EOD track is sick Humanoid, who is that? great stuff and then Dwaalicht... please feed me a new album now

he's simply getting better and better. still not enough emotion for me but damn, he got skills

calling it, will be AOTY

classic Lopatin, I find the beginning of the track meh... up until 2:40. 2:40 to the end is a masterpiece.

I dunno, rift to me showed promise, but even back in the day, I respected rift, return, replica, but never loved it. that said, i should probably revisit almost 10 years later lol BUT when R plus seven dropped, DAMN. that was quite special indeed. nobody even today really tried to replicate that album, it was and still is so unique.
