squarepusher Mid-2012 Top Albums & EPs

[syd syside]

I am horrible at these lists, everytime I start to make one I always get paranoid I am forgetting some stuff.

 

edit: I do know that Actress - RIP is most definitely highlight release so far for me.

[zkreso]

While not technically from 2012, I'm feeling the reissues of 80s house music Rush Hour have done this year

nrsb-11

andres - new for u

orgue electronique - strange paradise

shackleton

maybe actress as well

[Captain James Mission]

Gangrene, Odditorium

 

Hell yeah.

all other (about 200) new releases I found during the last 2-3 month are mostly older than 2012

Well, I'm a little bit behind the 2012 releases. I've been catching up with older stuff. But here's some favorites from me:

 

LPs:

Dr. Robotnik - Number Theory

Lone - Galaxy Garden

Plug - Back On Time

Mr 76ix - Experiment Four

 

EPs:

Kyoka - Ish

 

This brilliant first Robotnik track (infrared divergence) sounds so much like a videogame song... #perfectdark

Yah, it sounds like he used a SID chip for some of the pads. Diverge into the unknown..

On repeat all day after your initial post. Thanks man...

[Kanakori]

Hell yeah.

 

Word

 

Checked it out. Good but so short...

[Guest AcrossCanyons]

Galaxy Garden is undisputed number 1 for me. The Money Store, Ufabulum and Ex Lives (Every Time I Die) are taking up the next few slots.

[Jur]

Gangrene, Odditorium

 

Hell yeah.

 

Word

Yeah, despite the length though I enjoyed a lot more than their longer releases.

[zkom]

After downloading few from the lists I'd say Atom TM's Winterreisse and Ital's Hive Mind are some of my favorites now. I need to start paying attention to Planet Mu also, I guess.

 

Also nobody mentioned senking's Dazed? I noticed I had missed that too and got it also. Pretty good.

[gunnar]

New Fah EP is great! goes on my top list no doubt

[gunnar]

[cear]

[Captain James Mission]

I'll add

 

Der Zyklus - Krypton 84

NRSB 11

 

and

 

Samon Kawamura - Spur of the Moment #1

 

to my list.

i keep an eye on several music blogs and watmm's own music forum, but i usually spend a lot of time with every new release that grabs me, so as a result, i haven't checked about 95% of the releases you guys are posting.

have i been losing too much? because i just can't keep with this intense rhythm of music releases nowadays...
