Well well well.

Awesomeness. Merry Christmas, Phil.

Yes. There is a surprising amount of gems on this. Listened through the other day. Also, I’m pretty sure someone already made a thread for this. Could we merge?

Pls, bring out some more new Sun Electric Mr. Detuned.

https://www.popmatters.com/best-electronic-albums-2019-2641505318.html?rebelltitem=23#rebelltitem23 #1 Electronic album of the year over at PopMatters. And I agree wholeheartedly. Wonder what's in store next?

https://zyntaxmotorcity.bandcamp.com/album/zyntax-13-decay One half of Morphology puts out a killer slice of acid-drenched electro. Also the comeback of one of my favorite labels - Zyntax Motorcity. If you haven't explored their back catalog yet, this release is a great starting point.

Bought the shit out of this. Slow drip of Karsten tunes... .....yeeeeeeeeaaaah.

This is lovely. Very romanticized alternate-universe Detroit sounds. Between this one, Shed, and dgohn there are some great late entries into album/release of the year discussions.

Yaaaas.

I need to do that. Few things for me can top that trilogy of albums he released on Trip.

Is it more like the Trip records? Earthday kind of left me wanting more.

It’s out there for those who seek. Listened twice today. It’s good. Really good. Looking forward to spinning my wax. (dude really should put out digis)

This slays — especially Finally Early.

Need a vid for “Ylem”. My new favorite Acrelid track.

Nobody? These guys are such masters of their craft — this album is a true beaut.

https://vilod.bandcamp.com/album/the-clouds-know Was surprised to see this pop up in my inbox this morning. Instabought. Cryptic, twilight emissions from Villalobos and Loderbauer; their synthetic compound of electronics and ouroboros jazz has walked from ECM and Perlon over to Mana.Developing a sound that tends to drift along as otherworldly atmospheres and strange fusion, Vilod evade easy categorisation, even compared to Villalobos’ already experimental and genre-twisting solo minimal offerings. He and Loderbauer pull away the backbone inherent to the structure of that dance music, and The Clouds Know refines a deft and subtle musical noir built on ambient cues, sparks and claps of electricity, brushed drums, black voids and subterranean bass swoops. There's a twinkle in the eye and moments of deadpan levity, but the overall mood here is sober and introspective. Emotions run deep.Through studio mastery and an enigmatic language the album forms a fascinating sonic and sensory work with few compromises. With erratic rhythms notably submerged—techno remains as an irregular pulse in the belly of the beast—fields of crisp, uncanny detail expand greatly. Humid environments appear, dense with the chatter of synthesised insects and the gentle rain of drums and whispering cymbals, enchanting the listener in focus or sublimating into layers of ambience depending on your disposition - and the quality of your stereo field.

Hey I like Four Tet but not Burial. What now?

Late arriver... ...but dang, this is beautiful entrancing stuff.

Snagged one. Thanks!

Well he is kind of an underground legend in electro/techno circles and his music really speaks for itself. I doubt he cares much about cultivating a new audience....but it IS a shame more people don’t get to hear his tunes — especially in lossless quality vs a vinyl rip.

Waiting for the Burial/DJ Shadow collab.

Well many of my most respected peeps are digging this...so I better see what the fuss is about.

Burgundy Trax.

Ok, I'm a sucker for anything Gerard puts out. I'll buy the 2XLP once it hits Redeye. ...but honestly, how bad does it hurt to put some digitals out there so people don't have to pirate your stuff??
