Just got everything set up yesterday. My room doesn't have any fucking outlets on the side where all of my electronics are.

The Alps - III: Nice psychedelic rocky something-rather with one shitty saxophone drone track. 7/10 Boards of Canada - Campfire Headphase: 10/10: Would usually give this one a 9/10, but I finally have warmed up to "Tears from the compound eye". The Magnetic Fields - Get Lost: Still can't rate it, but I think I love it. His voice goes with those floaty synths so well. Gang of Four - Entertainment!: Great album. 7ish/10 Black Moth Super Rainbow - Drippers E.P.: Interesting mix of "Eating Us" era psychedelia, and some of Tobacco's older style of music (Guitar, Proto-vocoder). Alright/10 Yellow Swans - Deterioration: I was pretty stoned/drunk when I listened to this, so 10/10. Great drone. Reminds me of Merzbow's Merzzow except better.

I read "The Little Prince" (A kids book) twice this weekend. It was very beautiful.

Still need to listen to Royksopp's Senior. I've heard great things. Nujabes - Metaphorical Music: 6/10: This is some fantastic, smooth, psychedelic-sounding Hip-Hop. Some of the tracks are real dullards though. Family Order - Family Order: 10/10: I'm sure I've raved about this album in this thread already, but it's amazing. Sort of a jazz-math-rock band heavy on the organ. The album is free, go download it. Made In Mexico - Guerillaton - 7/10: Pretty solid female-fronted noisy spanish inspired rock. I've always enjoyed their minimalist approach to guitar in "Yes We Can". Deerhoof - Apple O': 7/10: Good album

Forgot all about this thread. Found this game in a Thrift Store a while ago. It's pretty fun. Your party needs to escape the island as it slowly sinks into shark-infested waters. It's rather luck-based, but fun.

Man oh man do I love that album. I'd give it an 8/10 as well. The Fiery Furnaces - EP Nice album. Probably their most accessible. I think that was its purpose, because their previous album had no single-worthy tracks. 9/10 The Wood Brothers - Ways Not to Lose - 7/10 Great folk, only composed of an upright bass, guitar and vocals. The bassist is Chris Wood of Medeski Martin and Wood fame.

You’re a nut! you’re crazy in the coconut! Haha, that was too perfect.

Joao Gilberto - Joao Gilberto: 9/10 Datach'i - Wearealwayswellthankyou: 7ish/10 My first electronic album. I remember listening to it on the way home from the music store on my CD walkman. I had only heard Aphex Twin at the time, so it was crazier than what I bargained for (which was good). Some of the tracks are fantastic and others are a mess, with beats and melodies not remotely matching up.

lol lol I think it's cool how many moons we've discovered there in such a short amount of time.

Great! There isn't enough Fiery Furnaces love around here. Troon: I'm sure after 10 more listens I'll be gushing over the album in its entirety. It worked for In Rainbows. Joao Gilberto - O Amor, O Sorriso E A Flor: Wonderful/10 Some more lovely Bossa Nova. The instrumentation isn't too obnoxious or anything. Edit: Avalanches - Since I Left You - 9.5/10 Another fantastic album. A lot of good car rides associated with this one.

The Fiery Furnaces - Widow City: 9.5/10 Such a fantastic album, during, in my opinion, their best era (Bitter Tea, Matt's 2 solo records, and Widow City). Their mellow-tron can pump out a ton of sound when needed, the drum work is brilliant (especially the extreme use of fills in Wicker Whatnots) and Eleanor's voice is wonderful as ever. 1 dislike? For shame. Thom Yorke - The Eraser: 7/10 I've loved the first two tracks for the longest time but always got bored with the rest of it (still do). But "Cymbal Rush" (the last song) is so fantastic. Especially whilst driving on a cloudy day. Thom Yorke - The Eraser: Still 7/10 Listened to it again today, and then I listened to Cymbal Rush 4 times in a row. I wish the songs in the middle weren't so dull to me.

Lol, I have inverse taste to you in regards to that album then. Southern Point and All We Ask are my favorites. Guess I'll check out In Ear Park, unless it's at all like the track "Fine For Now". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh yea, guess I'll review some albums. Villain Accelerate - Maid of Gold Jel - Soft Money I have the same opinion on both of these. Nice hip-hop beats and instrumentation, but nothing remotely ground-breaking. Good chill out background beats. 6 or 7 out of 10 or something. Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You Hadn't heard this band prior, but I like the sound of it. Bunch of rocky electronic drone singing stuff. The lead singers voice got a little whiney at times, but whatever. Can't rate it yet. Odd Nosdam - Vol. 9 There are some pretty funky tracks in here. Kind of sounds like a B-Sides to the T.I.M.E. soundtrack, except following his usual sound more. Can't rate it yet. Black Moth Super Rainbow - Eating Us Such a nice album. The album seems to always compliment a fucking wonderful day coupled with being stoned. 8/10. Although the first half of the album is a 10, especially Twin of Myself. Tubeway Army - Replicas This is some quality Gary Numan. Can't rate it yet. Squarepusher - Feed Me Weird Things I'm trying to push through Squarepusher's discography, since he's a big deal around these parts and the only thing I've ever listened to extensively previous to this was Venus No. 17. This albums is good, but it gets kind of old/dull as I listened through. 5/10. eels - Rotten World Blues EP Great tracks that completely compliment their Souljacker album, which is full of fantastic rock songs (and some sensitive sounding shit that sounds right out of a Scrubs montage). 7 out of 8

Just curious, what songs did you like (or dislike, whatever list is shorter) from Veckatimest?

Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy: 6/10 Funny Little Man is so repetitive and the To Cure A Weakling Child Remix is sorta dull. I love all 3 of the Come To Daddy's, especially the Mummy Mix. The thing where the electronic drone comes in every once in a while and intensifies right before the snare rush has always been one of my favorite Aphex moments.

Haven't read the thread yet. It's definitely Richard or one of his friends. He can't hide it from us (the creepy fans) but your average Aphex fan isn't going to hear about this unless they follow Rephlex. Makes people more likely to run into it and say "Hey this is good music from an artist I've never heard before" which I would think is Richard's goal. Also, I love the album. This style of Aphex has always been my favorite. It's reminiscent of remix two on the 2 remixes album. Box Energy or whoever the hell.

Royksopp - Melody A.M.: 7ish/10 Good stuff. Only two tracks that I don't care for. Poor Leno due to it being cheesey and She's So due to my hate of wailing saxophones. Mindless Self Indulgence - Despierta Los Ninos: 8/10 So much energy and high-speed synth-riffs and fat beats. The lyrics in this album kind of sound like a cry for help, which is humorous to me because in my opinion this was their last good album before changing their sound. They soon sold out to Hot Topic and then all of a sudden every Emo Girl in my high school was ranting about how great MSI was. Deerhunter - Halycon Digest: 9/10 Their sound is so refined in this album. Desire Lines is a nice song to zone out to. The fucking saxophone in Coronodo makes me so upset though. Ruins one of the best songs on the album. Joao Gilberto - Joao Gilverto: Nice/10 Listened to this one again. Compliments summer picnics with my girlfriend like no other. Edit: Forgot about... Freescha - Lift: 8/10 Such a soothing album. Sometimes I just crave the first track and listen to it on loop for a while. A majority of the other tracks are almost just as good.

I've never listened to this one, just Rust Never Sleeps, which is one of my favorites. How does this one compare? Matthew Friedberger - Holy Ghost Language School: 10/10 A fantastic album. Probably his best solo album to date. So many overwhelming and dramatic tracks. I'd give every track on this album a 10/10, with the exception of track 3 which is pretty fucking dull.

Why? - Oaklandazulasylum - 5/10: None of the tracks have really stuck with me. Reaching Quiet - In the Shadow of the Living Room - 7.5/10: It's Odd Nosdam and Why? back when Odd Nosdam put beats to lo-fi samples and Yoni rapped. I love pretty much anything Odd Nosdam does, so I think this is fantastic. Clark - Iradelphic - 4/10: There are some down-right shitty tracks on this album. The rest are fairly decent. Acoustic guitar + Clark is pretty cool too. This probably won't stay on my hard drive for much longer though.

Thes One - Lifestyle Marketing: 7/10: Great beats over old commercial samples. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mllos9Uw7UM Steinvord - Steinvord: 9/10: Holy shit this is awesome. Leafcutter John - The Sky is Always Darker Than the Road: 7/10: Sometimes this album is exactly what I want to hear. I wish Leafcutter would do a little more folk because other than The Forest and the Sea I can't get behind a lot of his glitch stuff. Little Feat - Feats Don't Fail Me Now: ?/10: Dunno what to rate this one yet. It's good though.

Pretty much. I've downloaded several of the 10/10s mentioned. Still haven't gotten around to listening to any of them.

Medeski Martin and Wood - Shackman: A much slower album than most of their work. It'd been a year or so since I listened to this album and I enjoyed it a lot more than usual. For those who don't know, they are kind of jazzy, but with a ton of energy. 7/10. From another album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVopS6g4XPo Clark - Body Riddle: This album is perfect. 10/10 Locust Toybox - Noon: Can't rate this yet. It starts out so solid and goes downhill (boring) rapidly. Firth has definitely developed his sound though. Of - The Infant Paths: Very nice album. Consists of field recordings, drones, and acoustic strings. Dunno what to rate it. Of - Quartz Pond: Also nice. Better-Than-The-Infant-Paths/10.

Odd Nosdam - The Exciting Sounds of Level Live Wires: Good/10 It's pretty much a drone album using the samples of Level Live Wires. Good stuff. Tobacco - Maniac Meat: 9/10 I love listening to this in my car, screaming Burn All of Your Things. The Strokes - Room on Fire: 10/10 I'm not crazy about much of the Strokes other albums, but I love every song on this album. The End Has No End is their best track imo.

Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance - Corea: 8/10 A newer breakcore/speedcore EP from a supposedly North Korean band. I usually dislike speedcore because it's generally one kick repeated over and over REALLY FAST. But these guys mix that in with a bunch of other beats. The samples are pretty cool too. The album is free: http://www.last.fm/music/Pyongyang+Hardcore+Resistance

I'm going on record saying I don't care for Talking Heads, not that anyone should care. And Minor Threat's discog, as Smett said.

Various Badorb Artists - Bless You: 6/10 For those who don't know; Badorb was The Orb's old record label that was a failure (if I remember correctly). There are some fantastic songs on here that I've been listening to as long as I've liked electronic music. There are also some shit songs. Here are two goodies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ORiwSdFB48
