Secret Mommy - The Mall

the new EP by sampler-extraordinaire, secret mommy. as the name suggests, all samples are taken from field recordings at a canadian shopping mall.

Marconi Union - A Lost Connection

man, it's a bit more than half a month since i last updated! i realize that i am pretty freaking awful at this "daily" thing, hehe. maybe i should rename it noise weekly? idunno, it's becoming harder and harder to find albums that i haven't already posted :s

hopefully you enjoy this one, its glitchy idm with some ambient/acoustic/house elements... i guess you could call it downtempo? who knows, but it's nice, hehe

impu - Let it all flowers

very good, happy music :3

http://iqtu.com/ is his website, all his music is pay-what-you-want and streamable, enjoy!

Datach'i - Mmale and Ffemale

sorry for lazyness, but uhhh, i am lazy. yeah, so, glitchy break funtime over here, my brain is like a computer when i listen to this :D

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 :)

Benn Jordan - Pale Blue Dot: A Tribute to Carl Sagan

benn jordan, otherwise known as "the flashbulb", is a great electronic musician, known for his insane programmed beats that don't (usually) utilize any drum loops at all. However, while he is usually categorized under the genre of "drill n' bass", he released this album not too long ago in honor of brilliant astronomer Carl Sagan, and, in this album, in which he chooses not to use his well known pseudonym, he also chooses to step away from his frantic style of music for which he is generally known. in this album, beautiful ambient soundscapes, appropriately space-y leads, and minimal drum patterns create a majority of the great atmosphere throughout this album (with several major exceptions in style and instrumentation, but you will have to listen to understand completely).

though this is definitely not the general style the flashbulb is known for (though, neither was his latest album, "Love as a Dark Hallway", which can be categorized as jazz, more than electronic music), it is very nice to hear jordan experimenting with other styles and genres, and his professional and complex sound remains consistent throughout these experiments.

Venetian Snares - Cubist Reggae

ok, i understand many of my readers have a strong aversion to anything by venetian snares (for some weird reason), which is why i haven't posted anything by him here yet, but i must say that this is quite different from snares' usual amen break slicing madness. harshly chopped samples from reggae music intersect with warm analog sounding synths and strange chanting to create a very unique sound that one would definitely not expect from aaron funk. a very enjoyable ep, whether or not you like funk's previous works.

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

Jackson and His Computer Band - Smash

BLÆRG - Dysphoric Sonorities

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

Björk - Vespertine

hey, it is officially noise daily's 100th post!

and you know what that means: björk.

those who know me at all know i am a bit of a björk freak, so i am actually surprised i managed to wait until now to post any albums by her, but i felt the 100th post was a big enough occasion to bring her up :)

if you have never heard the magic of björk, this is a good place to start. everyone else; why dont you have her discography, hmm? :P

just joking! björk is sort of one of those artists you either love or hate, along with several other artists i have posted before, so don't feel bad if it ain't your thing (i personally dont love radiohead, for example).

alright, now before you listen, let me take the time to give myself a plug for my irc chatroom, where all noise daily readers (and other weirdos) hang out:

server: irc.maddshark.net

channel: #noise

i go by the username "stelpa" there :)

alright, enough self promotion! happy 100th post day everyone :3

Esem - Scateren

Kaneel - Here Is A Heart So You Can Remember How Much I Hate You

sorry for missing the past few days, blogger is being a jerk... first just being annoying, then "down for maintenance" for a day or so :\

anyways, here is some free (well, pay-what-you-want, but its your choice!) glitchy tracker music for you ^_^

Clark - Body Riddle

no comment today (second clark feature!)

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 :)

Aphex Twin - drukQs

crap, i missed a day :X

ok, to make it up to you, one of the most classic experimental electronic albums ever :)
