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!

God Is An Astronaut - All Is Violent, All Is Bright

since tomorrow is the rapture, i thought this would be appropriate ;)

Plone - For Beginner Piano

sadly, this is plone's only album, as one of the three members died of cancer several years after the creating of this album, and the group then disbanded. rumor has it that they had a second album, which was never released, but somehow leaked onto the internet after the break up.

anyways, this music is rather cheery and analog, almost childish sounding, made mostly with vintage keyboards and fx. the composition is wonderful, and it makes me all warm inside. my only complaint is that it only runs for around half an hour :s

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 :)

Modified Toy Orchestra - Toygopop

circuit bending kids toys to make freaky noises, yay. the album starts out pretty melodic (with odd sounds and time signatures), then gets experimental, and then eventually changes to what could mostly be defined as "noise".
