Secede - Tryshasla

this has been one of my favorite albums for a while, i should have posted it sooner :S

lush atmospheric soundscapes and amazing beats... it reminds me of an instrumental clark mixed with ambient brian eno. quite alien, but so comforting that you can't help being relaxed by it.

Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers

mike paradinas, of µ-ziq and kid spatula, and richard d james, of aphex twin and afx, get together and make an album. awesome ensues.

Doc Colibri - Voulez-vous danser?

some intense braindance from france (that rhymed!)

not as entirely loop focused as some other artists, doc colibri tends to use more drum machines and glitchy device sounds, along with samples from french media, to make his music. his tracks ("danse avec les nains" in particular) even involve him giving his own freakish take on the genre of dubstep. very much worth the download, which you can get/stream legally for free from over here!

enjoy!

Acrnym - Flowers

woo

BLÆRG - Dysphoric Sonorities

here is some great jazzy idm/breakcore for you rapture survivors!

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!

Duran Duran Duran - Very Pleasure

hey! for a change*, here is some noisy, random, funny, breakcore! this time... sampling 80's music? 0_o

*sarcasm(?)

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.

Ruby My Dear - La Mort Du Colibri

melodic breakcore/braindance, some funny samples, harsh insanity at its best :)

also, looky! you can download it for free (legally!) at the dudes label, over here.

Bomb 20 - Field Manual

ok, even i can't come up with a good genre to call this. some odd mix of breakcore, noise, and soundcollage? i have no idea. but it is freaking amazing.

Matmos - A Chance To Cut Is A Chance To Cure

the masters of freakish plunderphonics, matmos, decided to make an album made entirely of noises from real surgeries/hearing-tests/hospitals/etc (except "for felix" which was played on their pet rat's cage). it is pretty awesome, actually, and not as gross as you would expect. i bet you never expected you'd start dancing to the sounds of a liposuction, did you? yeah, matmos does that to people.

The Avalanches - Since I Left You

man, I guess I am in a found-samples mood today. ok, i guess today is found-sample day. anyways, the avalanches use pretty much only samples, and they are from everywhereeeee in the music world. seriously, i only recognize, like, 2 of them. anyways they have a very good sense of melody, and their choices of samples are amazing. keep in mind these are pretty much only musical samples, nothing like the books, who use samples from pretty much anything. ok enjoy the music.

ps craziest music video ever 0_0

The Books - Thought For Food

yeah i referenced the books in another post a little while ago, and i realize that some of you suckers may have never heard of the books; poor saps. i am here to cure that. they have lots of acoustics and found-sample mayhem. other albums and eps by the books that i recommend: all of them.
