Post your AOTY picks, charts, whatever for this year. Patricians preferred.
Blackstar - David Bowie
You did not listen to 4 hours of fuckimg IDM you lying piece of shit.
>>65658904
I listened to it on release day and have continued to listen to it, newfag.
>Damn Good
Moby - Long Ambients
>a 4 hour ambient album from Moby which sounds like early Hecker and Aphex Twin's second compilation of ambient works
>Alright
Deak - Deakin Around
Julien Baker - Ankle album (Good debut)
Jason Van Wyk - Attachment
SKM and Jesu - s/t (I actually need to give this one some more time to itself, so its probably one of the best)
Julianna Barwick - Will
>This just almost scratches the itch that Nepenthe scratched but didn't quite manage it, it just doesn't feel conclusive enough as an album really
Wood Lake - Hell (good debut)
>Just fuck me
The Life of Pablo
>has aged about as well as milk already
Tim Heckman's new dump (It has its moments but its such a regression from Virgins that I just can't bring myself not to see it as a massive disappointment)
Animal Collective's new collective shit (I've actually heard enough of this one played on the radio at work that I can determine its absolute shit without even listening to the album)
>>65659212
>I can determine its absolute shit without even listening to the album
opinion immediately discarded
>>65658968

The Glowing Man is the objective AOTY, with Blackstar and elseq 1-5 trailing closely behind it.
>>65659518
spoken like a person in their first or second year on /mu/
glowing man is incredibly derivative and not even close to AOTY
sorry that you had to learn that the first Swans release you've ever experienced isn't that good :)
>>65659544
do illuminate us with your AOTY pick oh wise master
>>65659212
>listening to moby
What's the prettiest album of the year so far?
>>65659485
SPOTTED: triggered Ancodrone in AOTY thread
>>65659566
I was surprised by how good it was actually, it's an honest to god ambient album that Moby put together to listen to while doing yoga (lol)
Tracks are usually 20 minutes in length and move from minimalist droney tracks into darker much more expanded tracks.
Give tracks 1 and 7 a listen and get back to me.
>>65659518
>The Glowing Man is the objective AOTY
lol
>>65659565
I'm the OP...
>>65658828
i'm listening to bits & pieces of elseq here & there, TBM2 is my fave rn
>>65659212
I'm glad j. barwick made another good album, I really hope she continues to make good music
>>65659607
imo it's purple pilgrims - eternal delight
Also:
new Oneirogen
>>65659704
haven't heard it but it's shit
""new age"" softdrone drivel for people who think they know ambient because they listened to SOTL once
>>65658828
oh man I need to get on listening to that cleaned up La Legende d'Eer.
my 4 rn are:
autechre - elseq 1-5
Kassel Jaeger, Stephan Mathieu, Akira Rabelais - Zauberberg
Matthew Revert/Vanessa Rossetto - Earnest Rubbish
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - EARS
>>65659873
That's a reissue you pleb fuck
>>65659907
Gonna have to take that opinion and throw it in the trash friend, its not new age and I happen to be an expert on ambient music.#
Just ask me how many hours of sleep I get a day, go on, you'll be shocked trust me.
>>65659927
No it isn't you fucking retard. Compositions were recorded a few years ago but it was released for the first time this year. Do your research you fat mongoloid.
so far
>>65660081
Pleb
>>65660081
>>65658828
real talk: when you listen to elseq do you it all in one sitting? I feel like if I try that it'll be like that episode of Spongebob when Barnacle Boy wants to eat the adult krabby patty meal but Mermaid Man keeps ordering him the child's meal then he turns evil and joins man ray and the dirty bubble (both of whom share an uncanny resemblance w/ sean & rob)
Mine atm are
Autechre - elseq
Yves de Mey - Drawn with Shadow Pens
Sam Kidel - Disruptive Muzak
Low Jack - Lighthouse Stories
Omar S - The Best!!
Bwana -Capsules Pride
Sophia Loizou -Singulacra
Loads of EPs/Singles too but i cbb to type them all out. Need to be better about listening to albums - these days I'd rather listen to NTS radio all the time, honestly
>>65659860
:)
>>65658828

>>65660121
Depends on my time and mood really. Sometimes I listen to it all at once (esp if I want a v disorienting listen) and sometimes I just like to cane one at a time (lately 3 and 5). Just depends - I mean I reckon it's meant to be flexible otherwise what's the point of deviating from the idea of a cohesive, 60-minute album / listening experience?
And Rob is obv Man Ray, right?
>>65660165
:0 ) to you too, that chama piru track off of omar s is a killer
>>65660332
>Rob is obv Man Ray
he gets it
>>65658828
Under the sun is sooo fucking bad. Bland shit = the album.
Other than that, pretty solid list.
>>65660093
fuck off montie, wheres you chart?
>>65660213
Which ones have you heard? Give your thoughts on each.
>>65660422
Post some stuff that sounds like it.
>>65658828
Hey boldfaure
>>65660756
hello
what's up
>>65660741
>Post some stuff that sounds like it.
I'm not going to spoonfeed you you fucking faggot, there are literally hundreds of better ambient albums I listened to, Under the Sun has 2 or 3 songs but the rest is shit
>>65660782
I've listened to plenty of ambient albums, and none of them have the level of detailed compositions that Mark Pritchard has on Under the Sun. I think your understanding of music is very shallow.
My top 5 so far.
This year is already better than 2015 and 2014 imo
>>65660764
Wondering what you thought of the insane HHH track released under the Kel Vahaal moniker.
Ash Koosha - I AKA I
Ital Tek - Hollowed
Dagir Du - Uriel Wavv
Andy Stott - Too Many Voices
Kane Ikin - Modern Pressure
Ulver - ATGCLVLSSCAP
Lone - Levitate
>>65660918
what's that kane album like
>>65660880
It's interesting. I think this project is too Ableton-y for my tastes though. If he just moved past the presets the music would shine so much more here. It worked on The Ark Work, when it was complemented with the guitars.
>>65661077
Pretty decent my man, atmospheres and urban dub techno vibes
David Bowie -Blackstar
Beyonce - Lemonade
Kanye West -The Life of Pablo
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
Death Grips - Bottomless Pit
Deakin - Sleep Cycles
ANOHNI - HOPELESSNESS
Weezer - The White Album
The Drones - Feelin Kinda Free
The Body - No One Deserves Happiness
>>65661093
>urban dub techno vibes
I'm sold, thanks anon
>>65661097
Hello Pitchfork
>King Gizzard and The Wizard Lizard
>King Quartz
>Vektor
>Diarrhea Planet (even though it's a little early but I really like it so far)
>Parquet Courts
Sleep Cycle is AOTY
Still haven't heard Autechre and Radiohead
>65658828
That's gotta be a joke. No one can care about music enough to make a chart & have such absolute shit taste.
>>65662675
What's shit about those albums?
>>65658828
David Bowie - Blackstar
The Body - No One Deserves Happiness
Swans - The Glowing Man
Xiu Xiu - Twin Peaks
Can't think of a 5th really.
>>65662710
Wrong post number. Should've been this :
>>65662634
there's plenty of new releases I haven't listened to, though
>>65659860
>>65663641
i just do not get the love for that huerco album. house is his strong suit - to me that last album was rather dull.
>>65663800
for me it's a solid ambient album, I like it more when he's firmly in house or ambient, the inbetweens of colonial patterns were good but they didn't reach the highs of this album or smth like the No Jack EP
it hasn't been the best year so far
>>65664154
quite solid though, and there's still more to be released until the end of the year
