I dig the "territory" they explored in Fleure, the sort of frenzied yet concise barrage of it ... would be interesting (exhilarating, even) to hear more tracks in the vein of it.

Obv. it's not Autechre. Using Ae as a reference point isn't entirely uncalled for. It's probably more helpful than saying "if you like Geto Boys, you might dig xuiqen" ... jfc

Exercise your goddamned imagination

More people should be releasing music in 2019. There isn't enough music out there, especially music in the physical formats. When you feel as if you have something (useful) to say, something that the people need to hear... that's when you should release music on vinyl (specifically) - because the musical landscape is quite barren. The only solution is to put out more music--because it's what we need (more than ever), right now

Those forlorn, wailing WASHES of sound, off in the distance. It sort of sounds like the same tonal center (emergency/immediacy) as Ravedeath... just, different arrangements. The acoustic stuff is fantastic.

Tim Hecker is the worst part of this. There are some fantastic, fresh-sounding percussive sounds and brilliant timbres... but there's Tim, again, with the same old grainy washes of sound... 'emergency' / 'this is serious' tonality. It's still a nutra-sweet Tim Hecker washout, just like Ravedeath, with those constant blankets of sound wash. Keyed Out is fantastic. I wish he'd work with more acoustic sounds, less 'ambient' sound washes / tonal noise.

CD is also a fetish=no players anymore. I freely indulge. Say “yes”...and don’t open it. CD is probably the cheapest, most convenient way to listen to an album on the stereo. sure, you can plug your mp3 / 'high-res' audio player into the receiver, but CDs are easier / sound better. same with playing music in a car -- a CD (provided you have a player) sounds better than plugging anything into the AUX jack. it's a convenient medium. also, tons of music is released on CD, where there's no vinyl version.

don't really get the hype about Jlin--rhythms / flows are stilted, sounds / samples etc. are remarkable (?) ... maybe i haven't heard enough of it, it's just that i'd much rather listen to something like Muslimgauze, or Lanark Artefax. are those artists not comparable??

This is a bit of a monotonous plod, following Narkopop. It's not unpleasant, it just doesn't seem* to cover much ground along its duration.. feels like one long, steady crescendo, or a gradual transformation. *on the surface

yay, lists. might as well make a 'ten desert island albums' thread, and be done with it. seriously, who's tastes are never fluid and changing. One, single favorite album, of all time? give me a break edit: Drukqs. wait, no, it's Rushup Edge. It's fucking futile. I don't want to listen to either of those albums all the fucking time. Let us rejoice, for there's variety.

9 chrO, all of it

These guys have a new album on the horizon or what?

yeah, love Narkopop, as well as the old albums. This one's got a weird simmering, amorphous vibe, but it's well playable.
