All different kinds of waves from new wave to cold wave with a characteristic tone of post-industrial but with a hint of silliness at certain points.
Group Rhoda – Out Of Time Out Of Touch
The Future Sound Of London – Archived 8
Lost and found stuff from the FSoL drawers, low-to-mid tempo electronic explorations, nice bunch of tracks even if just scratches from the past.
Submotion Orchestra – III
Kutmah – Closure
Amazing atmospheres, moody stuff, probably not for the joyful of souls. Kept me stick for the full length and worth some replays.
Fun fact: after the last track here Rdio continued the auto-play with Four Tet – And They All Look Broken Hearted. Spot on.
Reigns – The House on the Causeway
Listening to this album is always a mood and mind altering experience. The album cover is so eerie, makes me chill with goose bumps all over just by looking at it.
My favorite track is Take It Down by far, it has a very special and personal place in my heart. It will always make me wonder of an exquisite atmosphere where ghosts come to haunt the world but they make friends with people of the night and exchange stories of life and death.
There is this little girl sitting on one side of a seesaw deep inside a forest just among a little clearing in the woods when dawn barely breaks and light dimly illuminates the rising mist, and all she wants is to reconnect with someone from this world who tells her a good night story to be comforted by and leave with.
I love the idea of such a moment. We should connect between these states of being so much more.
dälek – Absence
Got back to this epic one from 2005. Tells a lot.
Mike Cooper – Fratello Mare
Alright, this is something completely wicked. Like listening to some ukulele-driven tropical elevator music while being completely fucked up on acid and having a seriously twisted trip. It is not good, per se, but cannot not listen to it.
Nuage – Prints of You
Half casual background music, half beautiful compositions. Half IDM glitches and soft noizes, half soulful house. Perfect soundtrack for a rainy day.
The Black Dog – Neither/Neither
The new Black Dog album provides an equal amount of moody-darkish electronics, some ambient peace and pleasant techno. For the first run I listened to it five times in a row. And still rolling once a day. Something I didn’t see coming and offers a great deal of pleasant surprise.
Death By Stereo – If Looks Could Kill, I’d Watch You Die
Best album title.
