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)

Peverelist - Tessellations Jack Rose - Two Originals of Jack Rose DJ Finale - Mille Morceau

Peverelist - Tesselations (quintessential leftfield techno) Jack Rose - Two Originals of Jack Rose (lovely fingerpicked beauty from the late maestro whose synthesis of acoustic folk blues and Indian ragas feels more sincere than most guitarists not named John Fahey)

Loved it!

An all time favourite of the highest order

Relistened to this for the first time in awhile and I think it's my favourite of his since Splazsh. I certainly like it much more than R.I.P., which is also pretty nice. I wish we had a subforum for this Darren's music, he's such a gifted musician/producer
