Bop - The Amazing Adventures Of One Curious Pixel


happy fourth of july, americans who read this! everyone else, WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM!?!? D:

jokes aside, this album has a very unique minimalist style that takes influence from many genres. sadly, this does not seem to be a concept album (though it would make a great one!), but the album flows nicely, and it never gets boring. great album, a+++, would pirate again.

Jega - Spectrum


sorry for my long absence, i was on a cruise (!)

here is some classic (and classy) aphex-esque idm (the artist was/is friends with richard (d) james, from what i have heard). all song on this album are great, and many (with a few drum-machine exceptions) show a great amount of effort splicing and juggling and destroying old funk loops. this album is a wonderful example of what some early english idm was like, and why it was so great :)

Igorrr - Poisson Soluble


igorrr's second feature here, this album has less death metal influences (though it still has the occasional growling voice), drawing more on the complex drum programming of braindance artists like the flashbulb and venetian snares, but throwing in classical elements and instruments as well. very different then the other album, but still very enjoyable!

Autchre - Tri Repeatae++


crap, sorry i keep missing days, things are distracting >_<

anyways, today we've got a relatively popular glitch artist that most electronic music fans either love or hate (i tend to be the former). a mixture of glitchy digital noise, break beats rhythms, and occasional dance music influences, autechre somehow manages to be rather slow and minimalistic (a la steve reich, repeating shifting rhythms abound!) without becoming monotonous. i chose this album from their somewhat large discography because i found it the simplest to get into, because of its constant tempos, catchy basslines, and skeletal beats. listen for yourself... the repetition and shifting is rather infectious :)

AFX - Hangable Auto Bulb


for a blog whose two biggest tags are "experimental" and "electronic", i thing its a bit insane that i have not yet posted anything by aphex twin or his side projects since yesterday :p

anyways, to continue the trend, here is some drum machine noisyness and, believe it or not, drum and bass and break abuse (!) from one of richard d james' other projects, afx

µ-Ziq - Brace Yourself


an ep based on another album by Âµ-Ziq called "lunatic harness", which is equally awesome (though not quite as happy). mostly drum and bass / breakcore with a few acid influences. very well polished and a few tracks that you wont be able to get out of your head (listen to the video below!)

The Teknoist - ...Like A Hurricane Made Of Zombies


i dunno this album maybe has THE BEST NAME EVER? and i am using caps, which is kinda a big deal. anyways, the music itself is a nice blend of breakcore and death metal, it's what the kids these days would call "totally hardcore, dudeeee".

Shitmat - One Foot In The Rave


breakcore/raggacore with a great sense of humour and some wonderful beat juggling and amen break abuse. also check out shitmats ep, "killababylonkutz ep", in which every song is based off the same generic ragga sample.

Frog Pocket - Come on Primates, Show Your Teeth!


i personally love this album cover so freaking much. but its not just the cover. inside, there is an album structured not unlike that of drukqs by aphex twin, harsh and coarse breakbeats surrounded by lush soundscapes and minimalist acoustic solo tracks. however, there are some distinctions. the acoustic tracks are varied, one of them being a stringed instrument plucked with painfully strong dynamics (read: the strings gonna snap), others feature pretty ambient wind instruments and textures. the tracks with breaks are often orchestral, often creepy, and always have amazing rhythm (and odd times, of course. you know how much i love me some odd time signatures). i have heard the album as a whole described by someone on the internet as "music to murder someone to".


p.s. this song is in 10/8, just like the famous theme of "mission impossible" :3

Vim! - A Random Collection Of Consonants


another free chip album, just to keep with the pattern. this one is a bit more oddly structured, and a little more experimental. all of the tracks are really loveable, though :3
