hmm, that's a good question. i haven't actually revisited his music since i was a teenager – back when i was hoovering up anything even tangentially related to 'IDM' (or 'electronica': does anyone even use that anymore?) i remember liking the albums on alphabasic and 'red extensions', 'kirlian selections', etc. i'm not sure it has aged all that well – but in the same way that lots of that instrumental, glitchy, post-rock-inflected music hasn't aged well. one era's emotive force is the next era's melodrama or sentimentality, i suppose. cav. empt: he's a great producer and an all-round pretty good guy in the scene, so this just reflects my changing tastes, more than anything!

weathering the bleak mid-winter here. that's cool, there are so many great japanese artists. any notable discoveries? i thought the new dozzy lp was pretty enjoyable. did you give it a spin yet? i've been listening to minimal ambient/drone and 90s-00s atmospheric dnb lately. so many marvelous tracks on good looking records (the label)..

thanks! w/r/t plaid, it really depends from which direction you're approaching them – some people come in for the classic, early sheffield-warp sound, others for the anime soundtrack OST stuff. personally i lean heavily towards the early stuff. 'not for threes' -> 'double figure' -> 'restproof clockwork'. in that same vein, i would recommend the two early black dog albums, 'bytes' and 'spanners'. they have huge amounts of plaid in their DNA. seminal! (q.v. b12's 'electro-soma').

i see that deep, trippy, ambient techno as all deriving from 2010s labels like prologue and semantica. the stand-out masterpiece in that niche is the self-titled 'voices from the lake' LP (donato dozzy & neel) – one of the best techno albums of any era, in my canon. but also check out dozzy/nuel's 'aquaplano' sessions, mike parker's 'lustrations', and dino sabatini's 'shaman's paths'. the dozzy solo stuff, like his LP on further records, is also great. more recently, releases by the likes of formant value, polar inertia, and ligovskoï all hit that exact spot for long-form, atmospheric techno that's heavy on pads/texture and eases back on the bpm (which is frankly at silly nosebleed tempos in the 2020s). special mention to producers like abdullah rashim, acronym, and evigt morker for a darker, more psychedelic take. the former a.r. stuff started out clearly as an imitation of 'that' prologue sound, before pivoting to his northern electronics label (where you'll find the other two!)

Indeed blast from the past. Just like you, never got snapchat, used TikTok once. I really only use Facebook. Back in my teens I used MySpace - good times. Now it's basically dead, although I still do have profile there. :] Now last.fm don't even have forums like it used to many years ago. And xfire, we had a nice community there, until they closed "Random Social Encounters". I was also on VampireFreaks.com - now they only sell goth clothing. People don't talk anymore, they just comment pictures or short videos. I guess we are old. :D Anyways, I'm doing good, married, 2 kids and life is generally good. Last year I and my husband got covid too, while I was basically fine, he was suffering for like 2 days. Men... :D How's life with you?

Glad to see that you've listened to Artefakt. "Kinship" is a quite good album, but their earlier releases are also worth checking -- e.g. "Mirage" from "The Mental Universe" in particular.

I'm listening to the new fp-oner and really enjoying it, but this morning I realized I'd already grabbed a Fred P album from last year titled Modern Architect, which goes in a different aesthetic direction but sounded superb. Anyway, I really liked the Isorinne album I found on spotify, Samarbeten. Do you have any other specific albums to recommend? I'm about to just randomly skip around what Northern Electronics offers on bandcamp.

just to confuse things, it turns out you can reply here now as well... as well as the fp oner albums, i really rate all of the LPs that lawrence has done for mule musiq. that whole label just has the most gorgeous, velveteen sound. re: northern electronics: all the abdullah rashim and acronym stuff is very sleek and sexy techno; varg under all his various monikers is great at ambient. isorinne releases in a group called 'D.Å.R.F.D.H.S' that are very very good.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll be checking out Isorinne this week first. As for Fred P, I love his work so i'll be grabbing that newere fp-oner album - I see you and I left half the shouts on his artist page so far! I agree about that expansive feeling of his work. Even the Black Jazz Consortium album I've been into lately has that feel, but it's not nearly as warm as the fp-oner stuff I've heard.

Hey, thank you! Glad to hear you got some new stuff from the blog :) Someone actually just recommended that Tempelhof & Gigi Masin album I see you played a track from, so I'm about to listen today. Anything recent you think I need to hear?

Definitely, Stars and Rings would be my go to on this album. I really gelled to those on first listen. I like the off-kilter beats and lucid feel it, the whole thing has Hazyville aesthetic going on. I've been meaning to listen to Call Super, Lee Gamble was very impressive, Objekt I haven't given a look into and Aphex Twin is a sure shot listen. EOD's other alias 'CN' has a new album out on WeMe called Nu, i'd recommend if you haven't listened yet. Acid jams with a lot of funk thrown in, good stuff!

I definitely feel like, as with all prior Aphex work, it's going to take a lot of listens.. and not just that, but time to reflect, space between listens, to fully appreciate. I loved RDJ most for the longest time, then realized SAW 1 was probably my favorite, then came around to Drukqs finally. There's something about its all encompassing and uncompromising nature that hits me so hard. But still, I came back to loving SAW just as much and for totally different reasons... he's just one of those artists whose "lesser" work is still eminently study-able and replayable. I'm just sticking with "initial thoughts" on my blog for now with it.. definitely not time yet for a cohesive narrative about this thing. And yes... I'm so happy to hear that he's just warming up again. I can't imagine. (also: I just this year got all of the Analord stuff and am still digesting it - holy shit it's brilliant, thought)

Syro? I'm loving it. combines a lot of what I really love about RDJ's music from various eras.. I'm hoping his next one reaches a little more avant, like my favorite album Drukqs, though.

Sou quase exatamente igual você, sonoridade que soa bem estou ouvindo. Eu tenho a discografia de ambas, sou fã da Madonna haha, da Mariah na verdade não ouvi nem a metade da metade, quando eu pegar eu ouço tudo, as músicas dela são muito boas, mas eu preciso estar sentindo. Mesma coisa a Beyoncé, eu sempre gostei dela, mas só conhecia as famosas mesmo, baixei discografia inteira, e ficou lá um tempão, agora estou curtindo tanto, é tudo uma questão de tempo! Que bem que você como eu, tipo "um dia eu dou uma chance pra você", outras pessoas geralmente apagam e esquecem. De artistas 'novos' que estou curtindo muito, que antes eu não escutava muito são Beyoncé e Taylor Swift. Eu escutava nem os singles direito, hoje to amando praticamente todas as músicas, o que me ajuda bastante é ver shows, então eu sempre to baixando, escuto o álbum umas duas vezes, vejo o show, me apaixono, vicio no álbum, pronto! Minha fórmula! E sempre funciona porque eu sei do que eu gosto, sempre sei.

I see I'm not your only stalker here ;) I have been following you for a while now and man your charts are just fantastic, I always find something new to look into. Since I've got to know your taste a little, I'm interested to know if you've listened to Protect-U's debut album which they released this year? I think that stuff might be right up your alley, so if you haven't heard it yet I suggest you do. It's an album that keeps growing on me. Thanks for your time.
