This is amazing i think unironically Gaspare Noè was inspired by this to make Vortex

[cursive wadi]

have you heard juusankai wa gekkou? probably their most famous post 00s album

i saw them live in 2014!! was a good concert, they played aku no hana and moonlight

[snow steeple]

OMG that's sick!!!!

[snow steeple]

yeahh I have, really love muma the nightmare from that one but not super into the rest of it (yet) sadly

lately I really love their very first few albums their sound was so cool there up to/incl taboo (and romanesque ep)
but I used to be more into kurutta taiyou, sexy stream liner, nd mona lisa overdrive
we'll see where my taste goes ig !! need to listen to the rest more anyway hahah

[cursive wadi]

it was at their year end budokan show, was part of the tour for their arui wa anarchy album which i also like a lot

[cursive wadi]

this is my favourite song of theirs
https://open.spotify.com/track/3IW7RM4ltMxDzJsX2X6kkh?si=2UoAvTEdTwWxoJ_aLD1Bnw

and dress ofc https://open.spotify.com/track/1f6sBdxffdtzsYwJTeHWr1?si=OV3qr81xRAuH_5D5FqYY8Q

i tend to see their discography as having 3 eras: early years (86-92), industrial/cyberpunk (93-04) and recent (05+) but i guess 2005 isn't very recent anymore lol

[snow steeple]

yeahh I can see that too

with little nuances in between

    @crisp condor lmao look at this madness

(top is faye wong she is unbothered for now i think but yaeji SHOT up to #2 in a matter of weeks ...)

[crisp condor]

as she SHOULD ahhh man you're making me wish I had tracked my plays for this! (also based bjork/faye combo) (reminds me I got my sis to send me her taylor recs and I wanted your opinions since u recommended her to *me before)...

maybe this will sound silly but I think the fact 'be alone in this' ends in a sort of melancholy way pushes me to loop the album...bc u just want to return to the comfort of submerge fm & re-live it all......does that make sense or is it just me being insane

[gritty dragon]

the taylor plays there are high mostly because of midnights which a lot of her fans hate but i thought it was really good also good chess music
i don't think that's silly ... i often loop albums for different reasons

lol we can do an exchange

aespa are 🔥 also le sserafim .. many good groups here

[wraith chasm]

[gritty dragon]

check out newjeans they don't miss

[gritty dragon]

a lot of the best girl groups/acts were older like wonder girls, boa, f(x)
also some from this gen i like a lot but aren't quite as big on the charts are yukika, chung ha, yerin baek
that's what i would recommend for now i can be more specific if you want

[wraith chasm]

i love some of newjeans songs, i js havent gotten into them much !!
i will def check them out :]

ive tried getting into older groups but i dont like them very much sadly :[

i also do love chung ha tho

[gritty dragon]

oh that's a shame i love that stuff

i listen to full albums a lot and there aren't a lot of kpop albums that are really, really top-tier (mostly it's minis)
but wonder girls and f(x) have that

[wraith chasm]

this was so different to how I had expected it to sound, but so beautiful - haunting/glitchy/enveloping

has a strangely..optimistic is the wrong word..buoyant? quality to it for a song with such a dark theme
keep replaying it, weirdly addictive

cc @gritty dragon thank u as always for the rec

[gritty dragon]

😯

this is so wild ... i woke up in the middle of the night just now and a bunch of random thoughts went through my head ... i thought "i need to get back to han about nurture" then for some reason also thought "maybe i should also show her the age of adz ... maybe another time" ... this is so ⁉️ but glad you liked it ...

[crisp condor]

I’m so sorry,, my psychic desire for music recs was too strong…
(Hope u got some sleep also! Would love Nurture thoughts when you have time & had planned to listen to the whole Sufjan album tonight, as it happens - piqued my interest)

[gritty dragon]

do not be sorry for having taste 😌
we will see how today goes
curious what you would think of the age of adz because it's long and has somewhat cryptic lyrics and isn't your normal electronic fare but more like artsy glitch-pop ... think u may like it

[crisp condor]

extremely encouraged by your description
have a long (but not particularly active) day at work tonight so lots of time to mull it over, will report back

[gritty dragon]

PORTER [feel free to ignore] I have a load of track-by-track notes in my server (which are very disorganised & won't spam you with those) but I'll give you the brief collated first impressions:
👀 as if i'd pass up a chance to write an essay

• More melancholy than I expected! I think I had it in mind as a very bright, springtime, optimistic album & indeed it delivers on that front - in parts. However, I was left feeling somewhat sad at points. I'm still nailing down why, exactly; I think partly some of the lyrics inspire a little uncomfortable reflection, but there are also moments where it feels sort of...painfully nostalgic? still thinking about this, will return to it
  true ... it is bittersweet i think and the idea is meant to be cathartic ... it does begin and end with a very uplifting song ... also note some tracks sound kind of sad but lyrically aren't (like sweet time which is about how happy he is he met his wife and mother which is about how much he appreciates his parents) ... "emotional" is better than "sad" i think ...

• fave tracks I think are some of the more instrumental ones (dullscythe really hit, but am generally really into glitchy music), didn't expect the piano on wind tempos at all but it's absolutely gorgeous
  this was surprising because almost no one likes dullscythe at first lmao and wind tempos is so repetitive but it is pretty ... as i explained i think dullscythe is meant to be a musical representation of what frustration feels like and struggling with perfection also a very ocd thing and then having a breakthrough ... side note in a reddit thread on dullscythe and what it's about someone wrote "yall need to listen to aphex twin lmfao" hancore moment

wind tempos is really pretty and the repetitiveness is soothing ... i like the backstory of how he wrote it after meeting this japanese composer who is basically his hero

• I have the words 'wii snorkelling' in my notes not sure what that meant..will relisten...I think it might have been for Get Your Wish (which I rly liked btw)
  LMAO i want to know what this means 🤿 anyway yes get your wish rules ... one of my favourite lines on the album don't you waste the suffering you faced / it will serve you in due time so true i told you before i love that concept

• the lyn collins sample in 'musician' tickled me
  i don't know who that is ngl but i'm glad

• used the word 'yearning' in notes a lot, not sure if that makes sense though - album is striving like a seedling towards the light
  TRUE this is simply so accurate your mind is so powerful

(will spare you from long lyrical analyses lol but there are a few relating to ocd, particularly for 'something comforting')
bold to assume i don't want to read those 👀
something comforting also has one of the most mental-illness-coded lyrics oh there must be / something wrong with me shoutout to anyone who's ever felt Damaged and "unfixable"

contrasting this album with yaeji’s: porter’s is softer, gentler, optimistic, mournful at times, yearning, emotionally open
yaeji’s feels almost more frank, studious, ‘working-through’ - lots on this in notes but reminds me SO much of a journal. it’s optimistic but in a different way (need to come back to this too, tho). it's interesting to me how different they are
this is also simply so true and factual ... it's less ... methodical? i guess (which is interesting because of his extreme perfectionism but there were some songs where he made himself say "fuck it, it's a banger" and not try too hard about following his own rules, one was musician)

i meant to say beforehand too that one key thing it has in common with yaeji is that she goes back and forth between english and korean for things she found easier to express in korean and this is a lot like why porter has these heavy vocal effects which he used for things he found were hard to sing out loud but it was easier if his voice was different ... i find this neat

[crisp condor]

this is a genuine gift, thank u so much for the detailed thoughts!! got to go to doctor but will let this percolate & respond later… head full many thoughts

“With me being so unhealthy – emotionally and mentally just really unwell, and my thinking being super distorted – nature was a stand-in for health,” Robinson told NME. “This idea of things being as they should be, at a stasis point where everything is balanced.”

I got to catch the last bit of Yaeji's Coachella set, just a bit of Raingurl and Done

It’s funny, I was just listening to Underworld earlier today - was too shy to answer the qotd because I have bad taste in films, but nearly brought up ‘films with good soundtracks’ which ofc includes Trainspotting

V dark but great music (and ofc underworld make a famous appearance)

[late path]

Trainspotting is on my list of favs

[crisp condor]

Saving this for later also! Thank u for the link - hope you had a fab time! Sounds like you did

[late path]

Born Slippy being my favourite Underworld song too

It's how I learned of them, as probably most people

[crisp condor]

I put them in the same mental ‘box’ as faithless and massive attack. Devastating that maxi jazz passed away recently, on that note :<

[late path]

love Faithless too

[crisp condor]

knew u were a real one

any particular favs?

[late path]

actually the Avicii remix of Insomnia https://youtu.be/h198WJrquXQ

If you like Trainspotting and haven't seen this before, you'd probably like Human Traffic too https://letterboxd.com/film/human-traffic/

also great music, same sort of feel

[crisp condor]

YES I HAVE

like a few days ago I wrote this near-thesis about dubstep origins lol and I nearly wrote a HUGE amount abt jungle with a ref to human traffic

[late path]

any jungle in guy?

[crisp condor]

The film itself is kind of bleak lol but I cannot deny the soundtrack is so on point

[late path]

I have it listed as one of my top favourites, just love the feel of it

[crisp condor]

Idk what nationality you are but it’s SO British too lol

Oh we are a fan of Canadians here u will be right at home

[late path]

they've been supposedly working on a sequel for a while, not sure what the progress is at for it now

[crisp condor]

I wonder if this would be a good film to stream…maybe not with all the drug themes lol but the soundtrack is fun. I don’t know that they could recapture the magic of the OG with a sequel! But I’m curious to see where it goes

[late path]

this is a couple years old but I had made a list of movies with great soundtracks once for a Letterboxd showdown thing, they do these every couple weeks where people make lists and then they average them out to pick the final list https://letterboxd.com/starshadowx2/list/pitch-perfect-showdown-best-soundtracks/

oh here's an unlisted video from someone right at the front https://youtu.be/cTHvTgZTTEE

Friday: I saw Yimbo > Domi & JD Beck > a bit of Dombresky and Malaa > was going to see Magdalena Bay but the line was crazy long > Gorillaz > The Chemical Brothers

Saturday: started at the Despacio tent > Charli XCX > Sofi Tukker > last bit of Yaeji > Underworld > Eric Prydz > Calvin Harris. I missed Tale of Us but I saw their livestream the weekend before.

Sunday: Porter Robinson > Christine and the Queens > Bjork > Blink-182 > Skrillex x Fred again.. x Four Tet, also known as PHM or TBA.

there were some others I caught at the Do LaB tent but I don't remember the names except The Brothers Macklovitch

my phone died during Bjork so I didn't get any videos of Blink or PHM, but for PHM I was right beside them, almost front middle

[maiden sable]

i watched the chemical brothers stream, the brothers worked it out as expected

[late path]

Yeah theirs was amazing

[maiden sable]

you missed out not going to bad bunny

[late path]

not my kind of music, he did show up for Gorillaz though

[maiden sable]

i was only a decent fan of bad bunny before that set, it has me believing the hype now

the funniest part is when he started gaslighting his fans and then talking about parasocial relationships and inviting them to his house \

[late path]

Chemical Brothers and him were at the same time

[maiden sable]

also the whole segment dedicated to multiple genres of latin music through the decades

it's cool he was there, definitely a good headliner

[maiden sable]

he went on for like 2 hours you couldve caught the end

[late path]

Even still I wouldn't have gone

I was probably doing something else then

[maiden sable]

he is like the sole reason i wouldve gone having seen the set

same for grupo firme last year

[late path]

that's me with Underworld

[maiden sable]

they were bringing the party, they were chugging beers out of their cowboy hats

[crisp condor]

Sunday sounds amazing I’m so envious!!

Fred again not so keen lol but four tet/bjork/Christine…also just getting into porter

the trio of them were so good, they basically saved the weekend

just three dudes throwing a party

Bold of you to assume I don’t already do that

[late path]

I was standing right behind the photographer here basically

[crisp condor]

I have a purple leopard print skirt somewhere I’m not above it

[maiden sable]

you dress like youre going to make witches brew most days ive seen ur posts!

[crisp condor]

(Unsure if compliment but flattered and tbh not incorrect)

[maiden sable]

its a compliment dw

[late path]

Christine was really good, I was close up to the front for her too. I hadn't heard of her before until the W1 livestreams and loved it so I made it a must-see for W2. Porter was also amazing as always. I've seen him once as Virtual Self but this was my first time for a real Porter show.

[crisp condor]

I think Christine is now Redcar (?) and uses he/him pronouns if I’m not mistaken

[crisp condor]

Rly like some of the tunes released under Christine and the queens, haven’t heard a lot admittedly

[crisp condor]

Bjork showing everyone up

[maiden sable]

ive never interacted with a christine in queens fan i dont think ever

sometimes i wonder if theyre real

[late path]

Bjork had to pause for a bit and cough/get more water because it was so dry. She kept apologising and the crowd was just cheering.

I missed the drone show because I was too close to the stage

[late path]

I'm one now

[maiden sable]

theyve been around for like a decade i just wonder how sometimes are they not american?

[late path]

they're French

[maiden sable]

ahhhh okay that explains everything

i forgot blink 182 was there, i watched some of that, tom delonge was doing every song like he was making fun of it

[late path]

they were supposed to only be the secret Friday guest on W1 at Sahara, but because of the Frank Ocean fiasco they got moved up to headline W2 main stage

[maiden sable]

yeah i watched the frank ocean disaster on a stream

it wasnt as awful as people have acted like, it was just clearly a mess and he kinda barely did anything

[late path]

Same, it was fun to see it all happen. I was happy he dropped out and it gave us the much better W2.

it was pretty awful, plus he lied about it

he screwed over a lot of other people too

[maiden sable]

i mean the hater i am, im glad to see peoples blind worship for the guy diminish in any way

him lying about his broke foot as a reason he cant stand on a stage is so pathetic lmao

[late path]

it's crazy becoming known as the worst Coachella headliner after not performing for so long, like he would have been better off cancelling

[west flint]

definitely one of my favorite pink floyd tracks. incredible synths too

BANGER THO

embarrassingly had a rave phase around 13 (didn’t we all) (don’t say no I will feel bad) and didn’t actually grok what the chorus meant for quite some time

[gritty dragon]

what does a rave phase entail

[cursive wadi]

dressing like this presumably

[late path]

everyone should be in a rave phase all the time

[crisp condor]

Fortunately not TOO much in the way of embarrassing fashion decisions tho I did have some cargo pants and a tie-dye shirt as discussed in the fashion thread…was mostly eclipsed by the goth phase tbh

More into classic rave tunes! I got into the Prodigy when invaders must die was released & went thru their older stuff (still hits tbh), started listening to more stuff like hardcore/electronica pragha khan, the shaman, Candi station, bizarre inc kind of stuff

[gritty dragon]

at that age me and my brother had a kinda cringe phase of being into electronic music and the idea of things like going to raves and taking drugs being super edgy and cool because we were too young to do such things
i think this counts

what i'm saying is we didn't not have a rave phase

[crisp condor]

thank u I feel validated by this

[cursive wadi]

https://youtu.be/f9rI5Ttg1-I

[crisp condor]

is that from spaced hahah

[cursive wadi]

i had a very cringe phase when i was about 14 where i wore colourful shirts and baggy jeans but that too got subsumed into a longer-lasting goth phase

[cursive wadi]

yeah lol

every time i see a clip from spaced i wish i was 10 years older so i could appreciate the 90s while they were happening

moistbreezy has been getting some hype lately on the internet, she just dropped a new album and makes y2k-era inspired trance-ish music
this is her first album, i like this and her new one as well quite a bit
also love her aesthetics they're very hana-esque

this is like a painting from the silmarillion haha it rules

this is a high acclaim indeed and not sure it’s one I can meet BUT! this sounds right up my street so I will def listen! thank u so much adding to my fancy new spreadsheet

also rly into the aesthetic, nice homage to the whole 90s new age/transcendental thing but with a new cyber spin

[crisp condor]

I am in Need

[warm cloak]

Ty for the music rec Han

[crisp condor]

Let me know what you think!! I was just thinking of you yesterday bc I was listening to Ardour

[zealous wren]

https://open.spotify.com/track/4dv8QRclsYcA5IKFaGcF4J?si=gHvGeFRTSByJwVqwYWk-Zw

🛐🛐🛐

I'm in contact with them and their art is incrediblyyyyyyyyyyy good

[gritty dragon]

yes it's the 90s "uplifting" trance thing and a bit new age-y (complimentary)

i wish to be like the girl in nyc holding bubble tea and picking up a yaeji vinyl ...that is where mentally i am rn

[crisp condor]

god. i am not asking for much rn.

[gritty dragon]

have been feeling an urge to go to new york soon and see japanese breakfast and ichiko aoba in the fall (first one i was going to see last year but it was cancelled TWICE evil and the other was sold out)

this is a bonkers impractical idea but o i am tempted

[crisp condor]

I'm not going to say anything except 'do it' bc I think it sounds like great fun & something to look forward to

[gritty dragon]

it would cost a lot of money and i need to get my passport renewed ...

i could technically afford it but it is a Lot ...

[crisp condor]

🤞 I hope u can make it (tho I'm sure there will be no shortage of great concerts in future if not)

[gritty dragon]

the passport thing is the biggest thing holding me back i fear ... that's been taking months lately ... quite a backlog

[crisp condor]

likewise over here, I had to go to Glasgow for an 'emergency' renewal to ensure it would be ready for summer 🙃 so I totally get it, it's a huge faff! hopefully something u can sort out relatively smoothly

also the new photo....let's not discuss.... 🥴

[gritty dragon]

this is how much i love ichiko ... these are my top artists for 2022 ... before october 20th last year i had hardly listened to her before

[crisp condor]

cancelled twice...third time lucky..........

[gritty dragon]

this is another maybe irrational fear of mine ... what if i get there and the show is cancelled AGAIN

[crisp condor]

I mean it's not that irrational if it happened before but! you did say there would also be a japanese breakfast concert so maybe it wouldn't be a wasted trip...
(sorry I am clearly intent on enabling Little Treats so take this with a grain of salt if it's legit unfeasible)

[noble thorn]

there is so much music i wanna discover but i also have an irrational dislike of listening to new songs

unstoppable force meets unmovable object

[gritty dragon]

the problem is that it is feasible it's just very

[crisp condor]

< me manifesting it

[gritty dragon]

also jbrekkie being cancelled twice was a big fluke, the first time was because someone got exposed to covid, the second time was because someone unexpectedly died

[crisp condor]

holy shit

[gritty dragon]

yeah one of her closest friends died the day before it

[crisp condor]

ik u said 'irrational' but is there any reason u can identify? maybe if u just set 10 mins for it or something so it would feel less overwhelming...?

[crisp condor]

how horrible ;-; can't blame her at all for cancelling but what an unfortunate set of circumstances. and HANA too!! (re: cancellation)

[gritty dragon]

sheer evil

omg holy water

[noble thorn]

i now have a bunch of albums i wanna listen to put on a list. and i try to listen to some while i do other stuff.

today i listened to these:

[gritty dragon]

sophie and janelle albums are rly good nice picks

[crisp condor]

both of those twigs projects are amazing 🥰 any faves from there? dirty computer is on my 'relisten' list as well

the short film that goes with melissa is also fab, watched sooo many times

[noble thorn]

i love ache from ep1, and i'm your doll from m3ll

but i honestly love them all, especially her glitchy sounds

i haven't seen any of the music vids

i know i should just haven't gotten round to that 😳

[crisp condor]

take ya time! if u do have a spare moment, though, the melissa one is amazing - ties the whole EP thesis together beautifully. plus ofc incredible dancing (glass and patron is vogue-themed and utterly addictive)

[gritty dragon]

interesting ... wish the EP didn't have a vaguely-horrifying cover

[crisp condor]

if you watch the video, no cover involved (this is a twigs evangelist account)

[gritty dragon]

me and twigs have a complicated history i fear

[noble thorn]

i love magdalene, it's the album that got me into twigs

[crisp condor]

may I ask why?

[crisp condor]

!!! GREAT taste! which are your faves? I still come back to it, it's so carefully crafted

[noble thorn]

mary magdalene is def my fav. i absolutely love the part toward the end where it becomes super glitchy

[crisp condor]

could not agree more

[noble thorn]

i also like home with you

[crisp condor]

home with you is a close second and then fallen alien a third

OMG

taste

[noble thorn]

and holy terrain

but i like them all

[crisp condor]

i don't really like daybed tho sorry

which is a shame bc I normally love OPN! but something about how sing-songy it is means I don't come back to it often

[noble thorn]

my recent obsession is ethel cain and the knife

[gritty dragon]

i like the idea of liking daybed ...
liking holy terrain is based lol idc

anyway twigs is very ... i See The Vision and want to like her a lot but in practice she doesn't always hit for me
some of her stuff i love and some of it i don't vibe with at all
also sometimes her aesthetics are really horrible to me (but sometimes also beautiful)
so i'm left feeling mixed ... in theory i love her

[noble thorn]

i think we all know mother cain here so i can really recommend this album

[gritty dragon]

i used to listen to that one all the time it rules

[crisp condor]

this is spooky bc I just added this to my 'to listen' spreadsheet yday (and it was recommended by @gritty dragon , full circle)...will have to bump it up the list

[noble thorn]

hihi nice

i use this app called musicboard for my logging

[gritty dragon]

i use lastfm to log music and rateyourmusic to find it mostly

[crisp condor]

this is valid!! this is kind of how I feel with caroline polachek, minus the aesthetic thing...some of her stuff really hits, but other bits (a lot of Pang) just goes over my head
can I ask ur faves (nw if not)

[gritty dragon]

wait have i ranted about caroline before because this is exactly how i feel about her ...

[crisp condor]

SO polarising I'm glad u feel me
love Billions a lot

[gritty dragon]

she has some songs i love, and some that piss me off lmao i fear billions is one of the latter

[crisp condor]

o no i posted cringe

I'm sorry, the children's choir just slaps

[gritty dragon]

few are saying that ocean of tears is her best song i do not understand this
no you didn't it's a highly acclaimed song many are saying billions is great
but i don't like it (my issue with a lot of caroline songs is her lyrics sometimes they come across to me as incredibly pretentious)

[crisp condor]

hmmm that's fair, I don't think I really grasped any meaning in billions...she is truly just saying shit
psycho, priceless, good in a crisis ?

it's just the Vibe

[gritty dragon]

YES that's it that kind of line i don't like it
it feels like she wants you to just somehow Get what she means and if you don't you're an idiot (this is a very rational thing to believe i know 🤪 but i can't get over that vibe ...)

[noble thorn]

btw, any albums/artists i REALLY should add to my listen list 👀

[gritty dragon]

overall listening to her is frustrating, it feels like "off-brand hana"

what genre?

[crisp condor]

I guess I sort of see it as similar to how Grimes uses echolalia, it's just words that fit the vibe (also I am fairly settled in the state of idiocy so that probably helps)

+1 on what genre, or any artists you'd like recs to be similar to?

[noble thorn]

anything! trying to expand my taste

preferably not metal tho, ouchie ears

but anything else goes

[crisp condor]

hmmm

I'm gonna shuffle my ipod and recommend the first 4 things that are good

[gritty dragon]

it's because i'm okay with lyrics that don't mean anything and are abstract but with her i get this vibe like she wants you to think her lyrics are Deep but they're not ... and like i said i know it's irrational ...

[noble thorn]

it's perfectly rational!

sometimes u just don't vibe w it

[gritty dragon]

well that's good ... anyway listen to björk - homogenic it's very foundational for a lot of electronic and pop music also it rules

[crisp condor]

regina spektor - soviet kitsch really gorgeous album, jazz-inspired female vocalist w/ incredible piano. 'offbeat' vocal quirks and interesting album themes
anniemal - annie - norwegian alt-pop album very dear to my heart, a lil disco inspired, very fun and refreshing and free
balam acab - see birds - witch house/ambient-ish? electronic EP. spooky, emotive, a bit psychedelic
untold - glare - 2 track EP, electronic/ambient/dubstep, very atmospheric and floaty, bassy

@noble thorn

[gritty dragon]

anniemal is rly fun

[noble thorn]

thank you so much!!

[crisp condor]

you're so welcome! lmk what u think whenever u get around to it (no pressure, and also no worried if u hate it haha)

[noble thorn]

okie will do!

[crisp condor]

was writing abt this for my lil spreadsheet yday/reflecting on it, might have been one of my first ever albums haha (some Lore there)

she's so underrated

[gritty dragon]

don't stop is almost as good but it has a couple of meh tracks ... i will argue ...
did you like her album from 2020 or whenever that was
i didn't much 😔

[crisp condor]

||I also didn’t ;-; I really tried!! Was so hyped for her return but it felt a bit ‘flat’, even tho (iirc?) she connected with the same producer as before or something like that? Would need to look it up. Sad either way||

‘I don’t like your band’ is my guilty pleasure lmfao it’s cringe but so good

listening to ‘buy yourself a sequencer’ hits different in the lab

[gritty dragon]

@crisp condor 👀

[crisp condor]

did u make this bc I feel called out by a certain bottom right corner

makes me want to listen to Michigan and seven swans

[gritty dragon]

i saw this a couple of years ago prolly but stumbled upon it and 👀
meanwhile i think i am either seven swans or michigan ... more michigan idk ... seven swans is a vibe tho
also lmao one of these being one of his christmas albums part of the Lore is he loves christmas

[crisp condor]

good for him tbh I am a known Christmas hater but I love that it brings people joy

you are very ‘body of water’ coded

[gritty dragon]

😯

[crisp condor]

How does one express that without sounding insane lol

[gritty dragon]

i get the vibe and i am Into It dw

[crisp condor]

I told bits she was Yoshi coded the other day sorry to everyone for this

[gritty dragon]

normalize telling your friends they are [whatever]-coded as a compliment

[crisp condor]

damn I lost my good wave emote but that one is purple so it fits

maybe it's a .... synthwave

WHAT!!! famous

[cursive wadi]

he's had a rough time in the 10+ years since witch house stopped being relevant, all the music press was calling him a genius then suddenly nobody cared

for context i remember him tweeting a few years ago about getting kicked out of his parents house because he was smoking weed

gonna go out on a limb and say that i dont think it was the death of witch house that held him back, because salem came back and started touring again and hanging around a bunch of other celebs

if washed out can survive the death of chillwave im sure there had to be other reasons balam acab couldnt keep up

yeah leaving his label and developing a fentanyl addiction didn't help, but i think salem were a bit older when they first became famous? also fires in heaven almost didn't come out - john has been in and out of prison, for example

i don't like them 😶‍🌫️

[crisp condor]

o no how come

[gritty dragon]

idk they're just not my vibe
once you hear it i think you'll get why

[crisp condor]

the person who recommended them to me is very big into ambient music (which I really enjoy, but maybe not to the same extent). listened to the entire ‘winged victory for the sullen’ discog thanks to them actually (some was great some was a pass)

hmmm I will bear in mind

[gritty dragon]

yeah they are far from ambient so that's 🤔

don't let my takes poison the well here ... many saying they are great

[noble thorn]

it's crazy how many alltimers i've never listened to bc im so angsty abt new music xd

oops sorry meant to reply to this!! if you don't mind non-english music i like this album a lot https://open.spotify.com/album/3ohoOaSAg6Mp64nFNYB5bM?si=mPr9MRtTTS-1nUnwrS9c8A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3ohoOaSAg6Mp64nFNYB5bM

[noble thorn]

ty!!

[cursive wadi]

another album rec if you're not already familiar https://open.spotify.com/album/4i21O3uVh5palcfFhCjlT7?si=L32h09QLRAK6a6nPkYaIjw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A4i21O3uVh5palcfFhCjlT7

a lot of my favourite albums are super basic - closer by joy division, violator by depeche mode, crystal castles (II), and of course visions and miss anthropocene by grimes

coil are an amazing band and i definitely recommend checking them out if you like experimental electronic stuff https://open.spotify.com/album/5smzxuV9SnGLiB9cksqZOg?si=wqG-CQakRIW3fNzR54UGXQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A5smzxuV9SnGLiB9cksqZOg

[gritty dragon]

never too late to get caught up on music, this year was the first time in my life i heard pet sounds and half of the beatles' discography all the way through and i've been into classic pop/rock music for over 20 years

[noble thorn]

i only know like 3 songs from the beatles

there's a lot of all-time artists/albums i've never heard lol

[gritty dragon]

you also don't have to listen to every classic or renowned piece of music ever
there are whole genres you might simply not vibe with much

[noble thorn]

that's true

also for those older classic artists there are like 5 different versions of the same albums and then i never know which one to pick 😭

for a lot of older artists, they have like 'remasters' or 'remixes', and then you have half of the people saying it's sooo much better, and the other half who absolutely hate it. and there's me in the middle: not knowing what to choose

[cursive wadi]

i did this over 2021/22, checked out the complete discogs of a lot of "classic" bands and artists i had previously only heard a few songs - bob dylan took ages lol

[cursive wadi]

it's easy with the beatles because there's an official discog now, rolling stones is more difficult because until their satanic majesties there's a british version and an american version of each with a different tracklist

(if anyone intends to do that i recommend listening to the UK versions of their first two then switching to US from the third album onwards)

porcupine tree is such an underrated prog band

love their music

steven wilson is such a talented lyricist

I love like putting on their music and zoning out to it

rlly glad they finally added fear of a blank planet to spotify. I'm p sure before they only had the live versions available. tool also joined the party lolol

[west flint]

been rlly loving bladee songs lately 🤍

idk y but I was stubborn to that type of music few yrs ago and I'll admit I was a stereotypical metal head 🤣

I am discovering Ethel Cain

And this song is beautiful

This is the first I'm listening to from her and I'm already in love

OMG. Crush. OMG

I love Crush

I'm gonna die, her songs are too good

[noble thorn]

it's a religious experience

[maiden sable]

good project thats one half of stars of the lid and dead texan

[gritty dragon]

listening to kpop group 2NE1 this rules

[crisp condor]

I liked their self titled album but I got a bit lost after I listened to their entire discog in one night. Went from v beautiful to a bit dull, probably overdid it on the ambient

[maiden sable]

yeah thats fair i only really enjoyed the first one too

its that flavor of ambient i dont think you can get away with more than once because its truly just THERE and its soft and exists as part of the bg, it doesnt feel like it has enough teeth to stand on its own in the same way i think of like stars of the lid

which is a very nebulous idea in general, ambient thats al dente as opposed to boneless

[crisp condor]

al dente lmfao

[zealous wren]

Lol, I can't deny haha

[crisp condor]

I get you though, it's very 'base level' almost drone-y neoclassical

[maiden sable]

theres lots of boneless ambient out there, anyone can make it and nearly anyone has

same applies for noise

[noble thorn]

i can't get into ambient

i see it the same way as lofi, i maybe can put it on the background for studying but that's it

[noble thorn]

i feel like taylor swift's love story belongs on the list of perfect pop songs

together with coldplay's viva la vida

[maiden sable]

i was almost very upset by this and then i remembered that people think lofi is a genre now because the beats girl on youtube. in my head lofi is a texture or quality of recording thing. stuff that sounds not well produced or old

[gritty dragon]

"lofi hiphop" is a genre but the name is kind of wack because it's mostly instrumental

[maiden sable]

yeah its much more widely considered a genre now but its such a contradiction in my head because that idea is that any hip hop can be lo fi, any kind, the lo fi part is a texture to the sounds not a style marker in my brain because im old and raised myself on music information that could not handle the SEO-ification of all genre

i wouldve called lofi madlib beats for sleeping

https://youtu.be/A89o7I30K6I

[gritty dragon]

"lofi hiphop" and "hiphop that is lofi" being two different things ... wack imo

this is almost as bad as dream pop being a kind of rock

[maiden sable]

its certainly a barrier that people of a certain age or with a different set of knowledge that exists

[crisp condor]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ITKWAG3_c4s

[wild turret]

LMAO i ws a bit like that, all daark type music then i saw the light

(sheeeeeee shines her light, on mee..)

[noble thorn]

i think there is a tinge of logic to it, as those lofi hiphop beats will often artificially add crackle and "noise" to the sound to emulate this kind of tape recorder vibe

and then since it kinda blew up w that studying stuff, ppl just shortened it to lofi

[maiden sable]

yeah i get that but its still a weird situation because peoples first exposure to the phrase lofi is in context to the youtube stream

[gritty dragon]

who up listening to the age of adz and thinking about future utopia vs. dystopia/(hyper)religiosity and mental illness/the existential fear of death and disability and ageing/the masculine urge to repress your feelings and/or jump into a volcano OR heal from your traumas and move past them

@crisp condor i am once again working on a lyrics essay ... things are brewing ... you have been warned ... 😌
aaaaaaa i'm not fuckin around

yes i also looked at phones last night and today too i am not putting that off indefinitely the plan is to have my pick locked in today do laundry and then get a phone tomorrow but today is for selfcare it rules

[crisp condor]

yes plspls I would very! much like to read it v interested in this esp the religiosity angle

also good because my alarm to remind u goes off in 14 minutes extremely glad u are getting it sorted, self care gang

(I too have done laundry today) (thanks Selene for reminding me I was gross and didn’t change my sheets last week 🥴) (maybe today is a day for moistbreezy …)

[gritty dragon]

boris have like 10 years worth of pure excellent material from the late 90s into the late 00s and then theres a bunch of stuff that i wouldnt say is bad but less consistent, better if youre a fan, theyre a very solid group worth digging into

[dawn compass]

https://tenor.com/view/bibble-fairytopia-barbie-elinas-pet-cute-gif-17706890

[maiden sable]

top 40 and top 100 are the biggest misrepresentations of music ever and pretty much always has been a limited view of what is happening at the time. probably worse now because streaming is more rigged and manipulated than the old charts were. those were at least manipulated by way of excluding types of releases and or dividing things into "urban" charts

the top charts are such a backwards and archaic thing we still have to live with

i remember being so obsessed over zetsubou hahaha

[cursive wadi]

i'm not a huge mucc fan but i believe that album is a rerecording of one of their older albums from 2002... need to check it out

[west flint]

you mean the shin homurauta album?

yeah i think some of the songs on there are re-recorded from earlier releases not sure if its the whole thing or not

[cursive wadi]

yeah it's just that shin means new and they have an old album called homurauta haha

haven't listened to either tho

[west flint]

i accidently discovered them on spotify few yrs back lolol. they've taken the song(s) off like twice but is released as whole package now which im glad cuz i was so sad that i couldn't listen to those when they were taken off 😭

[west flint]

honestly a power move tho

its all good

they served rlly well with both the more upbeat 80s wild rock and matured gothic-esque experimental rock

[cursive wadi]

it's a shame they didn't get more popular outside of japan because their discography is so varied

and like they've been consistently touring and releasing an album every couple of years for almost 40 years

[cursive wadi]

fun fact this song was a staple of their live shows until 2004 i think?

[gritty dragon]

oh that sounds like a vibe too

[crisp condor]

based and aphexpilled 😌

[gritty dragon]

listening to this is kind of wild because i hear so much influence from it in present-day ambient and electronic 😶‍🌫️ also great chess music this rules

[crisp condor]

yesyesyes could not agree more, truly a seminal work

it always strikes me how close a lot of the album is to modern techno - he has a reputation for being a more experimental artist (& that is probably more obvious on albums like Drukgs [my beloved]) - but SAW feels much more accessible than you’d expect (it is my joint fav btw)

Going 2 play Ageispolis have been influenced

[gritty dragon]

i still don't know what techno is 😶‍🌫️ the 90s trend of calling all electronic music "techno" has muddied the waters i fear ...
i was listening to ageispolis and remembered you played it in nightmusic 👀
will listening to drukqs soon ...

[crisp condor]

spicy question 🥵 maybe will type essay about it sometime bc it’s arguably kind of debatable

lmk what you think of drukqs!! But also no worries if you hate it. It’s definitely a wild ride - think I mentioned before, but enormous juxtaposition between the softer piano melodies and the absolutely insane breakbeats/squelchy acid techno moments

[gritty dragon]

what is acid techno help

it sounds cool. i have heard the name. but what is it

[crisp condor]

I can answer this bit at least - the ‘acid’ bit refers to the squelchy?? sound

it’s quite distinctive will see if can find some examples when on desktop later

[gritty dragon]

first 10 acid techno albums on rateyourmusic: i have never heard of any of these 🫠

for electronic subgenres (THERE ARE TOO MANY) the most helpful thing would be to find tracks that are great examples so i can hear them instead of reading descriptions

[crisp condor]

In fairness I’m not sure I could name many full albums hahaha it’s just a ‘know it when you hear it’ thing! Will be easy to recognise once you hear it

‘Oh yeah this album sounds kind of moist’

[gritty dragon]

frfr jazz fans have a reputation for snobbery but at least they are reasonable with the genre names
it's rarely any more specific than "cool jazz", "fusion", "hard bop", "third stream", "big band" "modal jazz", "free jazz" and maybe a couple more
one of the above will be enough to cover almost any jazz release and give a good enough idea of what it sounds like
meanwhile electronic fans are like "nooo this isn't belgian avant-future-funk-breakcore it's bristol-post-club-dutch-acid-house-gabber"

[crisp condor]

‘Third stream’ what the fuck is this o no I like jazz but I am clearly a dilettante

[crisp condor]

Want to star this just for Bristol-post-club-dutch-acid-house-gabber
also hate that i know what most of these individual genres sound like
it’s me I am the wanker

[gritty dragon]

it's not scary it's just a crossover genre of jazz and classical

also

1. by big band i mean swing
2. was going to say west coast jazz but "cool jazz" is pretty much the same thing so lol
3. would add bebop but it's implied by "hard bop" (kind of bebop); also jazz-funk but that overlaps with fusion so whatever; guess latin jazz should get a shoutout too
4. i forgot smooth jazz but lmao (nobody likes it) and jazz-pop which is ... i'd argue not even jazz that's like saying a martini is a vermouth-based drink it's flavouring

[crisp condor]

genuinely very helpful answer, filling in some gaps in my knowledge thank u

[gritty dragon]

also ragtime and dixieland? historically important but does anyone listen to those anymore not really

[crisp condor]

also chuckling slightly at the martini comparison bc I feel like there is drink Discourse to be had although I’m not going to be the one to start it

think I need to set myself a jazz challenge & listen to all these subgenres more deliberately/label the existing stuff in my music library

[gritty dragon]

i did that in february you can hmu for jazz talk

[crisp condor]

pls do expound (or can wait & ask specific questions if it’s a lot to explain, idm)

That’s ’I don’t mind’ not ‘intelligent dance music’ before I start more debates

[gritty dragon]

lmao i was going to do it ... i was going to make the idm joke ... but i withheld it

[crisp condor]

you’re a better person than me

[gritty dragon]

simply more experience ...

my advice is to avoid RYM for anything like techno because they dont know what music is if its not on an album, and techno is built off singles and eps for the most part

Rest in peace legend

The way that this song has a chokehold on me….like its been on repeat for the last 29 hours and I don’t even wanna go back to being without it so I guess another 24 hours of looping for me:)))

first heard of nujabes in 2010 and only now did i learn 1. his stage name is "seba jun" (his real name) backwards 2. i thought it was a spanish name of some kind (it is not) 3. also only last year i learned he was japanese and not from latin america and also that he died (sleep well king)

guess it's time to have a nujabes era

[crisp condor]

nujabes v good

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oIH0CSqmo7o track extra sad given what happened to their daughter
v beautiful track though

[snow steeple]

thank u for the 3 fun facts I also did not know before e

[crisp condor]

I can't tell if I liked this album or not I was drawn in by the cover. It's ambient-ish & kind of synthy in a new-agey way. For some reason I was expecting it to be like Hiroshi Yoshimura's green album, but it's much less minimal. It does share some ambient elements (enjoyed those) & makes interesting use of traditional Japanese folk instrumentation. BUT don't think I will relisten, it's inconsistent & grating at points...the more upbeat parts are a bit strange, melodies kind of lean more 'children's television programme soundtrack'

It does conjure a really specific atmosphere. Overall the ✨ vibe 🐛 is you are a tiny bug breathlessly exploring the wide world of plants & sharing bc I thought maybe that is something that people in Grimescord want to feel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPZYeLzDE-Y

[snow steeple]

sounds like something id give a listenn

[crisp condor]

lmk what u think if u do

I have really mixed feelings on new age as a genre..half the time I find it a bit grating (?) so ymmv

[gritty dragon]

idk this sounds kind of like "the weirder parts of nurture" are you sure it's not good

[crisp condor]

I’m undecided! There are lots of tracks in there that conjure this beautiful atmosphere (like Dandelion Sailing), but I’m less fond of the melodies in tracks like Army Ants

[gritty dragon]

i'm listening and it's okay (?) so far but i'm in a very grumpy mood
will this make it worse

[crisp condor]

I don’t think so (?), for the most part it’s quite sort of…nature-driven & whimsical. But also hope you feel better soon & do not risk worsening your mood for an inconsistent ambient album lmao

[gritty dragon]

thank u

[maiden sable]

im sorta just sampling it, it sounds like ||stardew valley||

[crisp condor]

compliment of the highest order tbh, I’m not sure I would go that far but I did say a while ago that nurture reminded me of harvest moon so…it’s all coming together

[maiden sable]

some of the sounds are nearly 1 for 1 to me, like the exact same texture to some bits added in

stardew ost fresh in my brain so i hear it

[crisp condor]

intriguing, might have to give it another go just to try to hear this

[maiden sable]

im definitely not saying the whole of the ost, its missing the fake banjos and guitars like a magnetic fields track

theres just some choices that are very familiar

dropping a few of my faves from Floating Points bc was recently reminded of how much I love his music (his mixes also vvv good)

would compare him a bit to Four Tet and (maybe a bit) Daphni? makes kind of progressive-y electronic tracks that feature a lot of jazz & sometimes elements from Latin music, lots of atmosphere-building, amazing percussion...rly hard to choose tracks but putting a selection here for anyone interested forgot to say also that they are all kind of slow burners/about the tiny details

• classic floating points, kind of progressive/house-y/chill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LtsjqgF6fw && https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v1nBGdSSSE

• beepy (anasickmodular has a few garage-y elements in the percussion, too, I love) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8fFo4REHOE && https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md9gjJlqAxQ

• more recent release from last year, a lil more dancey/punchy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05uM6sP7Kdk

[crisp condor]

was just thinking how blawan-y this sounded & realised they’re on the same label lmao
mountains EP so good tho, love the percussion & plunging/echoey atmosphere https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=siO4oKiTIYE&pp=ygUPZGpydW0gbW91bnRhaW5z

[gritty dragon]

you put the same track twice 👀 the last one linked is the same as the first one

liked the floating points tracks tho ... will listen to his albums

[crisp condor]

eek sorry! didn’t notice bc deleted embeds - let me amend

I’m glad u enjoyed Still having a lil moment over his role in Bad Mode haha

edited! the last track should have been 'grammar' (I thought I was going to link 'ratio' as well but maybe I didn't? nvm doesn't matter you get the picture)

scratches a v particular brain itch, I am

[knotty jewel]

it is just this one album by tricky, though it was released under a different name. personally i like the two songs black coffee and poems which have martina topley-bird on them

she's new to me but recently listened to this album & really really enjoying the production on it! this is my fav track I think (as well as 'not in the mood')

I mentioned floating points above, and he produced a lot of my favs! so it kind of tracks

u have fab taste as always 😌 any others you'd rec from her? someone else mentioned that Sakura Drops is worth a listen

beautiful world one of her best songs also can you keep a secret is pretty good
@crisp condor listen to sakura drops and travelling
yes there was a remix of beautiful world from 2021 it's a bonus track on bad mode

heart station is my second favourite album by hikki

one last kiss was my pick for the grimescord playlist after trying 50 times to get that faye wong song to work

not a remix exactly more like remake but it has a few different mixes

[crisp condor]

the opening of the anime series to your eternity is an utada song but i wasn't so keen on that one

[gritty dragon]

yeah that's pink blood i wasn't big on it myself at first but it grew

[cursive wadi]

interesting show in that the first season was a heart-wrenching exploration of how people deal with the death of loved ones, whereas the second season was mostly about trebuchets

[cursive wadi]

didn't help they used the same song for two seasons, outstayed its welcome
