FWIW - I enjoyed it.
But I am a dad who just turned 40.

Hyped to hear this. His recent track on the Found Sound 3 comp was stellar.

@Touched Music When will we be hearing some more Yimino? Love their inclusion on this comp.

2022 was a great year for electronic music, imo.
Here's my top albums/eps:
36 - Symmetry Systems
An Artificial Intelligence-inspired tour de force from Dennis.
Volodymyr Gnatenko - Rainalice
Trance/techno/IDM hybrid from my favorite new artist discovery of the year. Check out the rest of Volodymr's Bandcamp as well.
VLR Industries - Transmitter
Acid/rave/techno bangers from DJ VLR aka Llovaro.
Szun Waves - Earth Patterns
Astral jazz from the Abbott/Pike/Wylie supergroup.
Steffi - The Red Hunter
Propulsive IDM that brings back memories of the golden era.
Russ Gabriel - Aonia
Deep, soulful space techno that pairs well with Darren Nye's recent releases.
Ronan - Interdependence
Ronan can do no wrong in my book. Dubby, breakbeat, acidic goodness.
Priori presents RED - Nigh
A bit darker than his usual output, but the quality control is A+ as always.
Principles of Geometry - ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Epic ode to the sounds popularized on SKAM/Rephlex/Warp. Nothing groundbreaking, but a whole lot of fun.
Poly Chain - Dogtooth
Psychedelic electro from the upstart Ukrainian producer.
Plaid - Feorm Falorx
A lot of mixed reviews on here, but I for one, loved it.
Ossa - Exit Language Translator
Not usually a fan of BoC knockoffs, but this one rises to the top.
Not Even Noticed - No More Waiting/NGC 7026/Celestial Patterns
Track down any of these three eps and you will not be disappointed.
Moire - Circuits
Think SAWII meets Seefeel meets Actress.
Marco Zenker - Channel Balance
"Silent City" might be my track of the year but the whole album is great.
Konduku - Mantis 0910
Double pack of secret rhythms from Konduku. Also check out the Konsudd ep.
Kloke - Anemoia
Best drum and bass/jungle I've heard in a fair while.
Katatonic Silentio - Les Chemins De L'inconnu
Immersive and dark.
Kangding Ray - ULTRACHROMA
"Prismatic sonic crystals"
Placid Angles - 056 (The Lotus)
Not the biggest Beltran fan, but this is EP is perfection.
The Future Sound of London - A Space of Partial Illumination (E7.002)
Best FSOL since Dead Cities.
Downstairs J - Too
Chilled-out goodness. Would love to hear more from this guy.
Luis - 057 (Schwyn)
Pure bliss from the DJ Python alias.
dgoHn - Portus
"Nots" is my jam.
The Detroit Escalator Company - Soundtrack [313] + 6 (Reissue)
Reissue of a timeless underappreciated classic.
Davide Tonini - Rigenerazioni
"100% Eurorack. No overdub."
Dasdreieck - A Land of Gilded Saints
Josh wrote these tunes on his recent trip through the Balkans. Hugely gifted, but relatively unknown producer who is worth digging into.
Darren Nye - Voyage of Light
UK techno-soul of the highest quality.
ctrl+opt - mapa
Made a planet again.
Cousin - Second Message
Dubbed out goodness on Cousin's NAFF debut.
Coppice Halifax - The Flower to Disappear
Brian Grainger doing what Brian Granger does best.
The Comet is Coming - Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam
Love this tune, love this album. (Sorry for no BC embed - don't think it is on Bandcamp)
Christoph de Babalon - Leaving Time
"Doom laden" breaks.
Birds ov Paradise - Rainmaker
Lovely ambient dub-tech from the Hypnus camp.
Alphageneric - Aera 178 Pts 1-3
Three-part album collaboration of synth experiments from Bigeneric (Marco Repetto) and Alphatronic (Daniel Wihler). Absolute LUSHNESS.
Badun - Dreamers in the System
Improvised electronic jazz from the Danish duo.
Aquarian - Mutations I & II
Face-melters.
(edit: forgot to mention: Bot1500 - Surreal, Ceephax - Baddow Moods, the zvLd soundcloud drop + livestreams, Lnrdcroy Bandcamp singles which are now in 'private' hopefully because an album is on the way.)

Very good, as expected. Love this ambient-braindance turn he has been taking lately.

Lush AF.
Watched the video with the music afterwards and it all made so much more sense.

there’s a nice vinyl reissue of whistleblower incoming btw
https://www.anost.net/release/B260/vladislav-delay%2fwhistleblower
Here's a Bandcamp embed:
Also let it be known that this remaster is also almost a full reworking of the album - new edits of all the tracks.
"...first ever vinyl issue on the German Keplar label. Ripatti created entirely new mixes of previously unheard-of alternative versions of the tracks that first appeared on CD through his own Huume imprint in early 2007. He thus shines a new, different light on a record that was as much an expression of reaching a turning point in his life as it also showcased a new, more direct and perhaps more abrasive side of his Vladislav Delay project."
Essential stuff.
FWIW - this is probably a top 3 all time favorite electronic album for me, alongside Brownout and Orbus Terrarum.

Way late arriver to exm - but I’m enjoying this. Wouldn’t be out of place on Sending Orbs back in the early ‘00s.

Slowdry.

First listen through the remaster - super crisp and clean. Also notice maybe some slight new edits/additions to some of the tracks? Some of them have extended track lengths from the original release (Fugue is over 1:00 longer, Cruxx also extended by 30+ secs, etc).

Greatly enjoying this. It’s like if Morphology decided to make melodic IDM.

Personally, I don't expect much in the way of new Phoenecia, but Rom is always working on something. ALWAYS. I like to bug him about doing a Schematic anthology of unreleased tracks or reissuing some of the earlier stuff, like a serious remaster of the untitled Richard Devine EP (NEEDS BASS!). If he wanted to drop a comp of Phoenecia loosies I could see it happening, but only if he and Josh were in full agreement.
Well - that Jeswa track from Josh on the LKMTC comp was really, really nice. And I'm guessing Takeshi Nakamura from the same comp is Rom?
Based on these and your comments about him always working on something - I'm wondering what's the holdup? At the very least, I'd be more than willing to shell out $$$ for more of their solo stuff.
And an anthology of unreleased and rare stuff....yes, pls!
Lowfish - Thaw EP (Analogical Force)

Always great to hear new (and new/old) Lowfish. His first albums still get regular plays from me.
