Guest Iain C Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Tough to choose. This time last year I was devouring new music; in 2009 it's been more about discovering old classics. In that vein my favourite record of 2009 is probably a reissue or compilation; at the moment I'm loving The True Story Of Abner Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Either Clark's or Keaver & Brause - The Middle Way. Not been many mindblowing albums but a lot of decent ones. AHAHGHHGAA! why in the fuck did this boring band rip off the name of an obscure 60s's synthesizer group Beaver & krause? i mean it just raises my expectations so much that would never think in a million years it was boring indie shit which it is, its 10,000 times less interesting than the cheesy synthesizer shit made by B & K. luke eargoggle - lightwriters infovox where can one find this? I heard some luke eargoggle stuff from brian e that blew me away, some of the most interesting electro i've heard. my own - tortoise - beacons of ancestorship Reformed Faction (Z*F) - I am the source of light, I am not a mirror 3xcd SND - Altavism Brian E - Yellow Light District Wisp - Shimmering Hour Nommo Ogo - Across Time and Space DJ Stingray and Heinrich Mueller - Drexyian connection Ceephax - Drive Time Kush Arora - Boiling Over Soisong - xAj3z Terminal 11 - Kaleidoscope Eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zaphod Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 the year isn't over yet? i haven't heard much this year. i'm pretty bored with what i have heard. maybe it's time to dig a little deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard some luke eargoggle stuff from brian e that blew me away, some of the most interesting electro i've heard. i'm quite sure it's easy to order on the web. of course i didn't buy it, you know how i am lol yeah the drexciyan connection ep is great! it's just weird to listen to the first track at this tempo when you've heard it already on stingray's myspace at a way faster tempo. ceephax's drive time was great too. brian e - yellow light district: what is it with the weird EQ/mastering? i think it spoils the whole thing because the tracks are fucking great apart from that. now it might be just me but really, the first versions of these tracks sounded better imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakramer Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Clark - Totems Flare Wisp - The Shimmering Hour Bibio - Vignetting the Compost and A. Avenue Kettel - Myam Jams Part 2 Alva Noto - Xerrox Vol. 2 Lotus Plaza - The Floodlight Collective Pan American - White Bird Release Luke Vibert - We Hear You Hecq - Steeltongued The Field - Yesterday & Today Richard Skelton - Marking Time Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion ... but lots more to look forward to, so I don't think we've seen AOTY yet.

Out of curiosity I just checked out the Scorn release on RLR on an mp3 blog where it had been ripped. I was very pleased that the idiot who ripped it did it at 45rpm and not 33 1/3rd and the treble was turned up insanely high. i have to lol at people who only downloaded it and didnt bother to buy.

brian trageskin Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 ok you know what, i just listened to the tracks again but with headphones this time (real good ones - theyre not mine though boohoohoo) and 3 things surprised me: 1- the mastering is pretty good actually - i think it was just my speakers that fucked up the sound 2- the masters are indeed quite similar to the originals. i compared the 2 versions of tokyo rock and the EQ is the same actually 3- the mp3 rip i grabbed is awful! the sounds are saturated a bit. blame the fucker who ripped the album! *shakes fist* to sum up, my apologies, my speakers are shite and some people can't even rip a vinyl properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 at first i thought animal collective's new one was really good but then i heard grizzly bears newest (awsome live show at the pabst from this tour too) and i've read on some other places that they say this album is but that was before i heard the new megafaun - holy shit all tiny creatures - also awesome but now i've downloaded the new single from volcano choir, sounds amazing, this might be the album of the year what is your fav of this year so far? Are any of those albums "electronic"? Sorry guy, no disrespect intended but for real... Anyways...the Harmonic 313 deal is alright, same with Clark, but if those are the best records of the year it's been a sad year indeed. Haven't heard the new Vibert. Need to though...also my planet-mu listening pleasures have been limited this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blir Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 i have to be in a particular mood to listen to SND Same. I've listened to Atavism once and while I like a lot of the sounds, I don't think saying "think of it as origami" saves it from the fact that sometimes it just sounds uninspired. And I second Moderat, great album. Surprisingly great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
