(I find it really funny that one after the other there was someone listening to an album called Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and then someone else listening to one called The Nation's Most Central Location)

It's hard to say when there are styles of music built around these sounds. Great songs so far, though, y'all

Pandit Nikhil Banerjee - The Hundred Minute Raga: Purabi Kalyan. Does what it says on the tin. 100 minutes and 10 seconds of one of the greatest sitar players to have ever been recorded and thankfully, there's a ton of Banerjee out there to hear, and pretty well all of it, if not all of it is worth your time. Allan Holdsworth - Atavachron. Fun but highly disposable guitar wankery from a very gifted shredder. Far from Holdsworth's most interesting playing but still entertaining. Alexander Kowalski - Progress. Some classic early 2000s techno on Kanzleramt. I don't know if it's his best but it's a good listen if you like European techno of this era Actress - Ghettoville. One of my favourite full lengths by Darren Cunningham. Not quite as loved as Splazsh but more than most (but maybe not all) others Government Alpha - Affective Imagery. Japanese harsh noise done well by one of my favourites other than Incapacitants or Merzbow. Maybe the noisician I reach for second most after Incapacitants Sogar - Basal. Superb microsound. This is not the cover I'm used to but an electroacoustic jam session between some heavyweights named after their gathering is Afternoon Tea. Taylor Deupree - Somi. Lovely ambient from one of my favourites in the style and an exceptionally beautiful artwork, too. Pathologist - Putrefactive and Cadeverous Odes About Necroticism. The name and artwork say it all. Some lovely old school goregrind/death metal

Two musical masterminds Tony Allen (Fela Kuti's drummer and heavyweight in his own right) and Jeff Mills (of Underground Resistance and his own career, known in his radio days as The Wizard) collaborated on one incredible afrofuturist jam to end all jams. Doesn't sound like BoC's album but it kicks some serious ass.

Not upcoming, about 4 years old now

Honestly, check out this whole album, one of my favourites from this year. Natural Information Society - Since Time Is Gravity

^ Environments 2 is where Dylan Carlson got some visual assets for the cover of the classic Earth 2

Back when trance was very compatible with techno

Checking out the rest of these releases now, thank you!

I have yet to hear other remixes besides Autechre's. I'm quite a fan of Bernhard Gunter and Ecobondage was the first Merzbow album I ever owned.

Cool! I don't know this one. I hope Tetsu is okay wherever he is

Checking out Grave's first album, Into the Grave, from 1991 for the first time right now. Stockholm sound > Gotheburg sound, sorry not sorry. Obviously there will be exceptions but in general, I don't have much taste for melodeath

I've been thinking about selling my MPC 1000 and buying a Live 2

Great news, wonderful producer and Death by Tickling has been blowing my mind

Very similar to Detroit techno but made in the Netherlands Nice crunchy glitch overlaid on some droney slowcore Classic Irish hippie psychedelic/progressive folk featuring a very young Clodagh Simmons Another album by British folk rockers I mentioned before, Dando Shaft Anne Gillis is a classic industrial artist from France whose most famous works were in the 1980s Great contemporary free jazz Lullatone - Little Songs About Raindrops is very cute electronic stuff a bit ambient a bit of "naive melodic sense" Steve Bicknell - Why? and For Whom? is some classic banging UK techno First album by the great maestro Surgeon. Overlooked. Ronald Snijders is a great Surinamese-Dutch flautist who has recorded a decent amount of sometimes overlooked jazz funk. Sigillum S' Trance Flexure. Early album by one of the better known Italian industrial artists

Wow, The Fifth Dream is jawdropping

Super hyped, never heard anything I didn't love from Azu Tiwaline!

Been really enjoying digging through the catalog of Black Saint records: (if you don't know this label, check it out; even though it started in the late 70s there are many amazing heavyweights of the free scene)

Wish more of Tortoise sounded like the first album... there's something really special about it that is so different from the others
