This is maybe my favourite La Monte Young piece ^ One of the most famous drone pieces, by a friend/associate of Young's: Sometimes piobaireachd gets there, too

He may be occasionally too melodic for some of your tastes but I'm a fan of Andrew Chalk

WOW. One of his best I've heard

Holy shit. I'm dumbstruck.

Future WATMMer right there. Plus his username is from a classic EP by Dillinger Escape Plan & Mike Patton

https://totalblack.bandcamp.com/album/as-loud-as-possible One of the most classic, quintessential harsh noise albums of all time is As Loud As Possible by the Japanese legends, Incapacitants (Toshiji Mikawa and Fumio Kosakai). Although it came out just over a quarter of a century ago, it's never had a proper reissue until about a week ago. Now you vinyl afficionados can snag a copy. There's also the wearable merch (I'm probably gonna get a tshirt for myself) and lossless remastered files from the label reissuing the work, Total Black. New edition has liner notes from Sam "The Rita" McKinlay and the remastering is done by a guy whose name is itself almost synonymous with the work of mastering and remastering: Rashad Becker

Opal by Batu Tracklisting: 1. Former World (0:58) 2. Mineral Veins (2:51) 3. Convergence (4:23) 4. Even Here (3:28) 5. Atavism (4:13) 6. Emulsion of Light (2:26) 7. Solace (2:44) 8. Squall (3:49) 9. Spectral Hearts (4:14) 10. Eolith (2:37) 11. Always There (4:19) I am incredibly excited for this! Omar McCutcheon, better known as "Batu" is one of the leading and best known practitioners of what is referred to as "leftfield techno". Lush ambience, a flair for the psychedelic, and even more refined than ever before on this release is a sense of sculpted detail. Batu is the head of Timedance Records, a record label based in Bristol, UK formed after the dance night series of the same name.

Nothing like a prohibition, whatsoever. Just certain sounds feel dated to an extent that they distract me and detract from my own enjoyment.

EXCITE!!! deserves its own thread in New and Upcoming Releases

Nice. Watch you don't get gonked on the head there, folks

I think Quaristice is highly unlikely to be a solo album, as we know it to be the sound of Booth and Brown sorta jamming in the studio. I think something like Exai is more likely to have a decent amount of solo numbers. That said, I very much doubt that each disc is by a different one of them. Likewise, I think it is vanishingly improbable that any album has much if any of either extended sections of alternating authorship or a similar thing happening with an A- or B-side being entirely by one of the two. Similarly, it seems implausible to me that all of SIGN is by one half of our beloved dynamic duo and PLUS the other. Yes, it is indeed a bombshell that about 2/3 of Ae's music is produced by only Rob or only Sean, but I still doubt very much that there could be any single album that could be 100% exclusive. I think there may be albums where more tracks are by a single musician than either the other or both, (hey that's kinda like the Monty Hall problem) but probably not half or almost.

I want to echo all of @toaoaoad's words wrt some of the difficulties in piecing out what is by whom, although maybe early things were more often solo before their merging approaches happened gradually over time. But I want to add, however, that I am really eager to hear solo releases from the lads. Note: this absolutely does not mean I want Ae to break up Edit: That said, it is a good subject to bring up, and it's hard not being curious what is by whom especially if there are examples from before their ways of doing things became next to impossible to tell apart

Glitch/IDM: Microstoria: _snd Taylor Deupree: Faint and, I'm embarrassed to admit, I had to replace my copy of Quaristice

Sweet, gotta love Andy! (Bonus, seems to be maybe be better orgs than just the Red Cross?)

I'm curious. How many of our seasonal associations with Autechre albums correspond with the time of the year they were released? Incunabula - 29th November 1993 Amber - 7 November 1994 Tri Repetae - 6 November 1995 Chiastic Slide - 17 February 1997 LP5 - 13 July 1998 Confield - 30 April 2001 Draft 7.30 - 7 April 2003 Untilted - 18 April 2005 Quaristice - 29 January 2008 Oversteps - 22 February 2010 Exai - 7 February 2013 elseq 1-5 - 19 May 2016 NTS Sessions 1-4 - 26 April 2018 SIGN - 8 October 2020 PLUS - 28 October 2020 Going by Northern Hemisphere reckonings (since Ae are themselves from that half of the world), the breakdown is as follows: five in autumn, four in winter, five in spring, and one in summer. And breaking it into months: four in April, three in November, three in February, two in October, one in January, one in May, and one in July.

I'm tempted to buy an Infernal Sounds shirt but it's like 50 bucks...
