I'm especially enjoying Phil RetroSpector's work right now :) "A Thousand Secrets" video is beautiful...
Re-listening to the latest Christian Fennesz album, Black Sea. Beautiful stuff, really.
In the same vein, Alva Noto's Xerro series (volume 1 and 2) are also excellent. If you want some more incisive and rythmic minimal electronic stuff, Alva Noto's Unitxt is a masterpiece. And that Alva Noto video (from Unitxt) proves that Carsten Nicolai can be as good with images as he's good with sounds...
THE VICIOUS-obsessive 7" RINGERS/AMPERE split 6" THREATENER- the fastening 7" (s-s-s-s-ooo brutal) GET RAD-bastards united 7" (going to see them in about 3 hours!) BAYONETTES-we're doomed! 7" wooo
My boyfriend comes through w/ some cool things occasionally. We scored a copy of... Born Empty- The Odyssey Chaoti-Pop Oddity ...early, from the band. The masses get it November 3rd. It's purty.
Both very good albums. Seems there's been a great batch of cool new releases recently, Klimek, Black to Comm, Shrinebuilder, 2562, Demdike Stare, Converge, Doomriders, Natural Snow Buildings, Maninkari, Black Devil Disco Club, the Hyperdub VA, Broadcast & The Focus Group...
How are you comparing Ben Frost´s 2 albums? I´m now finding a deep liking to his second one "by the throat". they´re calling it "the one with the rabid wolves" here in Iceland.
