Now digging thru Mt Shrine's career a little, listening now to the album All Roads Lead Home

Positively loving my first listen through of Jon Hassell's 1987 album The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Dead Things by the Power of Sound, he is very missed. Truly one of the musicians who made the most of the ever popular/notorious monstrous reverb sound of the 1980s

From the new album by WATMM's own @Pirtek https://cagedelement.bandcamp.com/track/room-of-reflections

Pretty neat stuff

Love the recent spate of this UK dubstep meets trap vibe

I couldn't get past the third track or so. As impeccably executed as it is, that sort of thing doesn't do as much for me anymore. There are some glitch hop adjacent things I enjoy more like the Hullabalo0 EP I posted about.

I love Basinski but there is so much more in his career I find enjoyment in than The Disintegration Loops

This mix was one of the first things that got me into techno

Did you know Anthony Braxton is really into Paul Desmond? He talks about it in his biography Forces in Motion by Graham Lock, which I can't recommend highly enough. Here are three players I love who I find often get overlooked

^ Nice! Saw DJ Stingray back last autumn and it kicked lots of ass Now listening to Wata Igarashi doing his thing

I don't agree with most of their ratings, but Pitchfork's rating system itself isn't that weird, just multiply the score by ten and think of it as a percentage. Giving Exai 59% is fucking dismal but one of the things that really gets me is that that their score is based on multiple people who work at the place's opinions but the review is only one person's take. As a result, these don't always match up. Pitchfork is mostly best for their coverage of things like indie rock rather than anything electronic that isn't Cut Copy or Neon Indian, etc.

Glitch hop, psybient, trap, neurofunk, all rolled into one. I'm sure this should appeal to some people here, and I wouldn't be surprised if this producer turned out to be a WATMMer, either. Worth giving a try even if it isn't your usual cuppa, though any fan of classic era Prefuse 73, Bluetech, and Tipper should enjoy this. https://hullabalo0.bandcamp.com/album/bassilisk-ep

I'm not sure what my favourites of elseq would be, other than elyc6 0nset would be included, it's good to see it in your picks

Jackie-O Mother Fucker - Channel Zero Sabrina Bellaouel - Al Hadr Neil Landstrumm - Pro Audio Stars of the Lid - Gravitational Pull vs The Desire for an Aquatic Life Savvas Ysatis - Highrise

*Anthony "Shake" Shakir - Frictionalism 1994-2009 (Very comprehensive but not 100% exhaustive compilation of the first 25 years of the recorded output of a previously more overlooked luminary of Detroit's techno and house scenes) *Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels (The second album by the Scottish band I adore whose consistency is the only musical group to surpass that of Autechre, where their trademark sound started forming. Forty years old and remains altogether lovely, if somewhat overlooked in comparison to much of their material from after this point) *Iglooghost - Neo Wax Bloom (Debut full length of one of the most idiosyncratic figures in the world of dance related musical styles, this album is very polarizing) *Hovercraft - Akathisia (Space rock adjacent experimental noise rock from a band featuring a woman who is unfairly often better known for being Eddie Vedder's exwife) *Savvas Ysatis - Highrise (Late 90s techhouse blueprint from a Greek producer more often associated with his ambient works and collaborations with 12k label boss Taylor Deupree, overdue for a critical reappreciation) *Stars of the Lid - Avec Laudenum (One of my favourite albums by the Texan ambient drone maestros) *Can - Stuttgart 1975 (One of the three recent official releases of live Can material from 1975, divided into 5 different pieces, one of which is almost 36 minutes long, absolutely mindbending stuff for the krautrock devotee)
