I enjoyed their latest album a lot better than their previous, this album hopefully will make them much bigger on the worlds stage as well.

>Aphex Twin - Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt 2, EP
What I liked so much about Syro was its emphasis on progression and moving forward. Compared to the RDJ Album or SAW's, with their relatively loopy behavior in the melodies, it was a Minimalist masterwork. Every phrase was rendered transfigured from the previous, either by amplification or removal of one element in favor or in light of another. It didn't just feel like a masterclass in hardware: it felt like a masterclass in composition. Likewise with Music for Robots: the songs were all logical developments which showed not just the technical potential for programmed machines, but also the lyrical. Both Syro and MFR were fleshed out works.
It's hard to feel that way about the various Diskhat tracks on here, with their looping drums and only occasional chiming of percussion. We hear deviations that ask "But what can we do with this?" but not so much "Let's follow through with this." I suppose it can best be said as: what could have been a Well-Tempered Clavier is instead a Notebook for Magdalena Bach. A notebook of ideas from a master of his art; but weakened by a sort of halfheartedness at fully completing his ideas.

Nice, how do you like the latest Joey?
probably jefre cantu-ledesma or viet cong
got the new victor villareal album today, really enjoying it, one my new favorites
>>53357773
I haven't really been a hip hop fan until recently, so this was the first of Joey's work that I've heard, but I really enjoyed that he sourced his influences from 90's hip hop while still keeping his tracks quite 'new age'. It's the kind of album I would recommend to people trying to get into hip hop because this album, and a few others, did it for me. At the same time, I think a lot of people that have been fans of the genre for a while would enjoy it too. It's pretty well rounded. Will definitely listen to some of his older stuff now!

new fan of hip hop always good. overall 2014 wasn't great but in hiphop it was great! Check out clippin, schoolboy Q, Freddie Gibbs, rtj, action Bronson and young fathers if you haven't.
>>53358506
I enjoyed Mick Jenkins and Run The Jewels last year. I actually saw Joey live when I went to see Run The Jewels early this year before I had heard his stuff before. Thanks man, I'll check them out.

I would say that many people would disagree with you, including people that have listened to their previous albums.
It's like no one's listened to the new Purity Ring or something...

I'll just leave this where no one will find it
all I've listened to from 2015 is Shackles' Gift, A world with 13 moons, and coin coin chapter 3, which I was kinda dissapointed in.

It's 1:38pm though.
>>53359335
i assume this was directed at me >>53359301 since i'm the only person who mentioned it ITT.
I'm all about sounds, and no other album this year so had more appealing sounds than PBMTGR... other than Sauna.
And yes, i've heard the new Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.

Yeah mostly. I mean it took a year for Shrines to click for me, but Flood On the Floor and Sea Castle stand out as two excellent tracks.
