i got some new ones with xmas money that i think are worth recommending...
Kettel -- Cenny Crush [Dub]
flowing warm synth lines, bits of guitar and pretty melodies carried on
nice crunchy and intricate drums. nothing too different or original
but really well done. pretty pretty.
Timeblind -- Rugged Redemption [Orthlong Musork]
This is fscking amazing. elements of dub, techno, hip hop -
yet restrained, holding a tight deranged slow groove.
I been playing this a lot, especially track2, 'desperado moves',
with it's big bass shaking gangsta beat.
Numbers -- Numbers Life [Tigerbeat6]
not electronic at all, but it is tb6. Another amazingly good purchase,
lo-fi scratchy disco punk, crazy attitude, big hooks, disjointed rythms
and bass. meant to be played loud and danced to.
Kit Clayton vs. Safety Scissors -- Ping Pong EP [Carpark]
i think this is great, dead playful, almost like
short skits, the sound of machines and computers being manipulated and
hacked up, used in ways never intended, yet always retaining a melodic
element.
Hrvatski -- Swarm and Dither [Planet Mu]
damn, this is so fine as well. Cut 'n' mashed crazy drums,
beautiful melodies, whistling [especially the whistling!],
pianos, quiet to loud, dsp wizardry, and just hyperactively jumping from
one moment of genius to another.
mp3's of mention, i also been checking out,
The Faint -- everything i have downloaded has been amazing, big dancey
synth punk tunes, kinda like banging techno with the Cure.
Deerhoof -- more scratchy, crazy insane guitar stuff, which seems to just
drip in genius also. The lady's vocals are amazing.
The Books - these are mad. i have no idea why i downloaded them or where i
had heard about them, but so glad i found them, i'm sure i see them
mentioned somewhere. here? someones top10 of 2002 i'm sure. anyways -
sparse tones, tinkly off-key percussion, violins, cut up weird spoken
samples, glitch and bass, broken drums, and a completely surreal fuckin
experience all together!
