that y u wear headphones not earbubs
not as good as their other collab album. sounds kinda like a hodgepodge rather than a cohesive whole. some stuff sounds like the moebius & plank albums, some of it sounds like cluster's "grosses wasser" and the vocal tracks (such as the one i linked) sound like eno's "before and after science" if phil collins and robert fripp weren't on it. 's ok.

Wild Beasts - Present Tense. Mostly this is making me realize I /really/ needed to listen to their post-Two Dancers output. Before and After Science and Wrong Way Up are my favorite Brian Eno vocal albums :V also revelant

So I'm listening to Miley's new album and I must say that - if you put the lyrical content aside - the album isn't that bad. And even if you take the lyrics into account, half of them are just standardish pop songs about finding yourself and emotions. It seems like people are hating on it just because it's Miley Cyrus but that really shouldn't come with a big surprise. Granted there are a bunch of really shitty songs, some of them are pretty nice. http://www.mileycyrus.com/andherdeadpetz

Really liking that album right now. I had this in my library for years and never really gave it a full listen until a few months ago. I listen to it all the time now.

Autechre- Clipperi don't listen to autechre much anymore but this track still owns. gotta love how those pads gradually creep out from underneath that glitchy beat. that's what these guys are all about. the FUNKY melody that comes in partway through really shows how much they owe to oldschool electro in spite of their "avantgarde" reputation.

Just finished the Italo disco block of my backlog, which was exciting since it's the genre that comes closest to sounding like classic game music with pop musicians prioritizing melody to make up for the timbral limitations of their dirt cheap synthesizers. Doubly so when they stop explicitly producing for the dance floor and start exploring themes besides love and keys other than C like this album does. Some bangers on here

Seriously though, I feel like shit. Job's getting to me, alienation's getting to me, and I'm tired as hell. I need comfort music.
Man I think I'm gonna go listen to Tears for Fear's debut album until the hurting stops.

Been enjoying Prurient who is playing in D.C. on Sunday. Been listening to Prurient (Dominick Fernow) for about a decade but haven't had the chance to see him in his own project yet.

Yatha Sidhra- A Meditation Mass
krautrock. first and last tracks on this album are super trippy electric folk with "eastern" influences and a phaseshifter on literally every single instrument. great. the remaining 2 tracks are unfortunately much more conventional jazz rock type stuff (a common problem once u start exploring krautrock beyond the classics). track 2 seems to be ripping off ornette coleman's "lonely woman".

I did not know this. Interesting! Of course, my knowledge is mostly limited to Can, Faust, early Kraftwerk. I will have to check out this album. I wonder what motivated them to play jazz rock? Was there a shift in that direction at some point in time?

because many of these guys had a jazz background and jazz rock was popular back then i guess? the line between what we call "krautrock" (a handful of avantgarde bands lumped together by the british music press) and normal german jazz rock/prog/hard rock is extremely blurry. check out the band embryo (which shared various members with amon düül II in the 70s) for an example of what im talking about. even can increasingly turned to jazz rock in the latter part of the 70s, esp after damo left and holger stopped playing bass. in germany back in the days, most of this stuff was just called "progressive musik".
also i guess the wildest of "krautrock" was a direct outgrowth of the 68 counterculture movement in germany (which was much more radical than e.g. the anglo hippies), so once that petered out in the mid 70s, the music became more conventional as well?
EDIT: also also also i undersold the yatha sidhra album. the jazz rock tracks are still freaky, just not as otherworldly as tracks 1 and 4.

The Yatha Sidhra is far out. Reading some about the 1968 rebellion in Germany. I'll definitely check out Embryo next. I was not expecting to be learning about Krautrock in addition to video game stuff upon joining these forums. It's a nice surprise! Have you ever listened to WFMU? There's a show called Strength Through Failure which plays a lot of Krautrock, 70s experimental and psych, etc. It is awesome.

i haven't actually listened to wfmu much (im not american and not a big fan of radio in general) but used to read their blog a lot. anyway, Midday Veil- This Wildernessmodern synthpop/prog/psych with vaguely political lyrics. not sure if im entirely down with the grace slick style vocals yet, but i like it.
