    Many of the Liber series have serious dancefloor burners, Vexations are nice and there's some really good tracks in the Hoaxer series. I like Post-Truth and Black Daisy Wheel, too - and The Books of Dogma have essential material, especially the first one (what is book II, Liber?). The Conspiracy Tapes I find boring, and I'm still on the fence on Dubs.

    Went for the CD. Tower & Co-Pilot FTW, but all in all straight up 7/5. I do have a hankering for a coloured vinyl version, never mind which one, although I already have the black.

    Reminder: this is again available for purchase during Bandcamp Friday.

    Another grab-bag of dancefloor electronic mayhem, this time from Cybersoul, filled out with output from a wide array of artists. Highly recommended.

    Absolutely huge compilation chock-full of brand-name electro, techno, and other electronic artists absolutely throwing their weight on the release. Highly recommended.

    Rhythms are patterns, patterns have rhythm, and our brains are pattern recognition engines, so they tend to find patterns everywhere, and strain themselves trying to do so. Rhythms are sequential and parallel patterns of time slices, both repeating and non-repeating, perception artifacts. Everything is a clock. Rhythms are universal and specific, but what all rhythms have in common is time. When you observe (hear, see, touch, smell, taste) a rhythm, your brain builds expectations on how it will continue - it's not apophenia per se, pattern anticipation generates participatory futures, tension and release. This is a bit wishy-washy, abstract, and conceptual, but I've been thinking about this a lot for a long while, and to digress a bit more I'll suggest checking out pace layering.

    Really enjoying this set of releases, perfectly up my alley.

    Melodic IDM breaks from Bot1500, originally released as vinyl-only on Furthur Electronix sublabel Altered Sense, now available in digital from Bot1500. Highly recommended.

    Analogue electro. Recommended.
  12. dcom
    Groovy, melodic IDM tracks to make your brain dance and extremities tap on random surfaces. Recommended.
  13. dcom
    Old-school electro grooves from EDMX and Computor Rockers. Recommended.

    After almost two years of silence Vortex Traks returns with a vengeance with Kafkactrl at the helm, top shelf electro. Highly recommended.
  15. dcom
    Strong electro EP from newcomer Viikatory, featuring remixes from Cyphon, and the inimitable Jensen Interceptor. Recommended.
  16. dcom
    Fourth collection of variable electronics from a set of interesting artists, including but not limited to Survey Channel, BVSMV, and more. Recommended.
  17. dcom
    Percussion gymnastics & beats, bass growls, and IDM workouts from Patrick Tipler as Delay Grounds. Recommended.

    The latest Sk'p album that came out six months ago; I was looking up some of the artists on Music on Location's Born Into Madness compilations, and immediately picked up six Sk'p releases (U.Y.J., Astravel, Orpiclem, Specks Of Dust At The Edge Of Immensity, Lotusil, and this one) from their Bandcamp. Recommended.

    Kebu - Urban Dreams (ZYX)

    dcom commented on dcom's blog entry in dcomμnications

    Received my CD copy today, I'm delighted that Kebu has chosen to go towards cinematic synthscapes rather than continue on the trance-infused path mapped with Perplexagon and somewhat by To Jupiter And Back. He's an amazing musician, the melodies, harmonies and progressions honed to perfection, I'm loving every second. Extremely highly recommended if you're into hardware synth wizardry in the vein of Jarre, Vangelis, Tomita and the likes.

    Heads up, Dingn\dents have 50 % off until Oct 1st with the code 5ydnd - I don't know if it's inclusive of tomorrow, so act accordingly. I picked up four damirat releases, crunchy.

    I haven't really paid attention to the prices of second-hand Autechre vinyl because I've always bought them when they've been released, it's surprising how high the prices are now. Untilted over 70 €, Quaristice 80 € (the metal case 2xCD over 200 €!), Oversteps almost 90 €? Whoa.

    I'm listening to Plastikman Arkives, and these still get me worked up proper.

    XIX. IV h VII min. II GBP. FTW.

    Picked up from the local post office, Monolith + two RTR's. Noice. The blue vinyl pressing of Welcome is actually quite big, 200 pcs. Anyone know the black vinyl pressing size?
