Rephlex Compilation Albums

[Guest Little Lord Faulteroy]

do you guys know some good compilation albums?

something like We Are Reasonable People, Mask or Rephlexions?

 

i really like compilations because they are both eclectic and coherent and it's a way of discovering new artists.

i also like it when some compilations have an idea behind them, like Mask 500, where they remix '80 songs.

 

it can be of any genre possible, i am here to discover new things :)

Here are some excellent compilations comprised of artists who post on WATMM, and they're free:

http://cytoplantastic.bandcamp.com/album/tribute-to-incomplete-skyscrapers

'The Philosophy of Sound and Machine' is an amazing early braindance comp if you can find it:

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Philosophy-Of-Sound-And-Machine/release/51236

 

'Skampler' is a great retrospective of Skam artists from the late 1990s:

'Alba Absurdia' is an amazing compilation from Benbecula, probably the best comp they were involved with:

Sub Rosa puts a lot of passion behind their avant garde electronic compilations and retrospectives: 'An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music' is an essential series in that regard.

 

 

But the mother of ALL electronic compilations has got to be Icasea's 'Benefit Compilation For Japan': 76 tracks for only $7, all of it is great and there are some big names in there as well. I STILL haven't listened to it all!

[Guest Little Lord Faulteroy]

massive thanks!! i sure gonna check these out (except maybe 'the philosophy of sound and machine', which i heard is pretty rare & expensive). thanks!

[Guest Little Lord Faulteroy]

that 'Tribute to the Rogue Planet Named CFBDSIR_2149​-​0403 Freely Drifting in Outer Space after Being Ejected from Orbit' comp sound very nice.

I love "All Tomorrow's Parties 3.0" curated by Autechre.

 

Also, if you like watmm comps, the CHATMM comps are fantastic. There are 5 out, and apparently the 6th will be out in a couple of days.

Divination - Distill (best ambient comp)

Trance Europe Express vol 1-4 (90's ambient techno)

Gold Panda and Apparatt DJ Kicks (come in unmixed versions)

[beerwolf]

The Rephlex Braindance Coincidence compilation is brilliant http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Braindance-Coincidence/release/20737

 

The Warp 10 compilations are good, particulary the remix ones http://www.discogs.com/Various-Warp103-Remixes/master/2775 be sure to check the Seefeel track When Face Was Face, arrrghhhh Its a classic

 

There the ones that come to mind.

[Guest Little Lord Faulteroy]

zounds very interesting

Gold Panda and Apparat DJ Kicks (come in unmixed versions)

 

These are both excellent. Motor City Drum Ensemble, Kode9, and Scuba had some good mixes too.

 

I liked Modeselektor's Boogeybytes Mix and their Modeselektions comps as well: diverse and interesting dance music.

Alright, also a big compilation nut here. Will try to list my faves here. The Braindance Coincidence is my fave one by far. The Sub Rosa Anthology ones mentioned above are also really worth checking out if you are into highly experimental and noise music. For other electronic music history compilations these are essential:

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Popular-Electronics-Early-Dutch-Electronic-Music-From-Philips-Research-Laboratories-1956-196/release/310002

 

http://www.discogs.com/BBC-Radiophonic-Workshop-Music-From-The-BBC-Radiophonic-Workshop/release/

 

For electro of the Legowelt type or dark brooding stuff from the Hague's Bunker, check out:

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-You-Bet-Weve-Got-Something-Personal-Against-You/master/15668

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Stalingrad-Der-Krieg-Der-Wahnsinn/release/1992208

 

For the best compilation of Italo disco and early electro in two really amazing mixes:

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Mixed-Up-In-The-Hague-Vol-1/master/10830

http://www.discogs.com/I-f-Mixed-Up-In-The-Hague-Vol-2/master/10812

 

If you're interested in metal (ALL compilations by Fenriz are worth the listen imo):

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Fenriz-Presents-The-Best-Of-Old-School-Black-Metal/master/159678

 

A really laid back sunny summery mix of psychedelic rock from Peru:

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Roots-Of-Chicha-Psychedelic-Cumbias-From-Peru/master/451522

 

 

Interesting music from Trinidad between '34 and '40:

 

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Shango-Shouter-Obeah-Supernatural-Calypso-From-Trinidad-1934-1940/release/3853829

 

And my favorite as of late:

 

http://www.discogs.com/Theo-Parrish-Theo-Parrishs-Black-Jazz-Signature/release/4665839

 

That one is mixed by the master of all DJ's, hardly mixing on this one but it compiles jazz from the 70's from a specific label (Black Jazz) and it is astonishing.

[Guest Little Lord Faulteroy]

Soul Jazz has put out some excellent ones.

 

This looks like a Windows software package circa 1998.

this comp is amazing, quite surprisingly.

[Guest Little Lord Faulteroy]

i just listened to some watmm comps, they are really really great!

those christmas albums are both hilarious and nice to listen to, and that squarepusher cover comp is also great.

already mentioned 'Tribute to the Rogue Planet Named CFBDSIR_2149​-​0403 Freely Drifting in Outer Space after Being Ejected from Orbit', great!
