Independent Music Reviews / Re: My review of "Percipient" CDr by Super Fata
« on: February 24, 2017, 04:56:24 PM »
This album is ridiculously good. I'm streaming it now for the first time and plan to buy it. This is the price I pay for not immediately listening to an album when Richard recommends it!

Agree. Already one of my favorites of the year--and it is only February!

Reminds me to play Gas :: Pop again ... one of the very best.

Cheers. I think I'll do the same today.

Taylor Deupree - Somi
Tape loops, tape hiss, and wind-plucked guitars. Nice and soothing; similar to Faint in atmosphere.

Re: Loscil/Scott Morgan. As a fan, the thing that I really appreciate about his music is that he has a distinctive style. I can hear a few seconds of a Loscil track and identify the artist right away. Of course, that on its own wouldn't be cool if I didn't like the music he produced, but I think having a sonic signature is a challenging thing to accomplish in this genre. His last few releases were good, but they didn't get many repeat listens around here. My favorite album of his is Plume.

Halftribe is fantastic! I picked up the new one that was released on Archives a few days ago and can't stop listening to it. It is a perfect mix of dub elements, my favorite Pleq tracks, and lo-fi sonmi451 looping and reverb sensibilities.

Elegi - Bånsull
I'm so excited about this! Elegi released one of my favorite albums, Sistereis, on Miasmah in 2007. And, with one exception, then disappeared into radio silence. His new album, Bånsull , was just released on Dronarivm and is outstanding. This music is difficult to describe. I would categorize it as "dark ambient" for lack of a better label, but it isn't electronic and doesn't play into the apocalyptic themes that often characterize modern dark ambient soundscapes. This recording is more or less a soundtrack to exploring a haunted Victorian mansion. Most of the sounds are organic/acoustic, but treated in ways that make them both familiar and unsettling. You can hear the sounds of creaking floorboards, distantly bowed string instruments, pages turning in books, etc. Spooky atmospherics without any sudden spooks.

Computers, Internet and Technology / Re: Goodbye iTunes..Hello MusicBee!

I find iTunes a bit limiting (doesn't play FLAC), but haven't explored other options because it is an obvious one-stop-shop for backing up my iPhone and loading music onto it. Is it safe to assume you're not an iPhone user? I'd be curious to learn more about how people manage music across their computers and mobile devices among Apple users.

I'm streaming Prismatic now and really enjoying it. Some of the recent Green Kingdom releases are too polished for my tastes; this is a refreshing listen.

Ishq - Organic Electrified Forms 1
Brief and midrange quirky sonic experiments spread over 120 minutes. Some of the tracks are fantastic. Most of them are in the spirit of the 2015 Floracopia release.

Sinepearl - Psithurism
Beatless psybient with some awesome touches.

Alphaxone & ProtoU - Stardust
Dark ambient from Cryo Chamber. The first two tracks are outstanding, with a cool mix of field recordings and low frequency electronics.

Closing the Eternity - Forever and a Day
Deep dronework; Easily mistaken for some of Oophoi's more organic soundscapes.

That does seem pricey. Nice sounds, though.

Wow!  That 23 Degrees piece is great. Had not heard it before.

Agree! Very nice.

I almost listed that Ghost and Tape release! It is great.

If you come across anything else that you're particularly fond of, please repost. I love exploring new sounds. There is a nice Porya Hatami release on Dronarivm too.
