Suggest an album for today...

I'd love an active thread that lives on where people
suggest a great album of the moment; perhaps a recent
release or something not considered terribly known about.
I'm always wanting to listen to new gear.

So this is an attempt.

Any takers?

Arzachel- Arzachel

1969 prog album, but with a slight Gothic tone discernable
in the organs, guitar lines and the almost operatic
vocalist, deep and trying to be scary, of course. I really
love the dischordant organ notes and overwhelming
pretension. Some relation to Egg.

the new blonde redhead (misery is a butterfly) is actually
pretty good, if you like that kind of thing.

there's been a lot of new good stuff this year, but i can't
even think of anything at the moment.

icarus - squid ink

a blurb from allmusic:

"Icarus' third full-length effort remains something of a
hidden gem. A significant move forward from their previous
material, the pair deserts their previous muse of
proto-jungle this time in favor of adventuring even further
into laptop-fuelled abstraction. "Sake" and "Stuzzikini" are
more ambient weaponry than music, with these
precision-guided sonics countered by the humanized
instrumentation that lights up the delicate percussion of
"ZZ9," "Oott," and the near-perfect "Cyan." Another fine
demonstration of excellent electronica from a criminally
underrated duo."

its definitely something ive been listening to a lot lately.
they've got a newer release out (the very bizarre
semi-improv-with-broken-instruments album "i tweet the birdy
electric"), but i like squid ink the most.

Brian Eno - Another Green World

This was Brian's first album after leaving Roxy Music, and
to me it seems he really sort of let loose all the pent-up
experimentalism which was denied to him in a band setup.

I can't give a point of reference because teh only other
things that sound like it are bits of other Eno albums.

Maybe some Sylvian or Fripp stuff... but it's all indebted
to Brian, and he probably plays on the tracks in question
anyway.

excellent list, plenty of excellent music, but all in all
too much heavy stuff for a normal listener like myself :)
i like something to relax with occasionally...

down to earth = something nice, calm, warm...something like
that "big calm" by morcheeba you have on your list :)

gimmik - back to basics.
thanks to tolstoyed this has become one of my favourite
records. le ciel is a "must hear".

Libyan Joe
24th November, 2003
The title couldn’t be more fitting, Gimmik have certainly
looked to basic techniques for their second album, minimal &
stripped is the direction taken. This isn’t to say the
tunes are lacking, on the contrary less really is more.

Compositions are fairly simple but with an intricate, well
structured use of drums. There may be rapid beats but
‘Basics’ remains blissfully calm and chilled-out, it
doesn’t have the annoyance of say, ear-piercing stuff like
Venetian Snares or Kid606. It’s not all harshness either,
scattered amongst are interludes of beat-free ambience and
delicate sounds.

In ‘Le Ciel’ we find Matmos crunches and glitchy beats,
topped off with an incredible post-modern production giving
the sounds so much more depth. ‘L’appel Des Cours’ is
one of those classic Boards Of Canada moments, an eerily
beautiful tune based on nothing more than a simple
synthesizer and reverb.

Gimmik are heavily gifted at sequencing, the results a step
above others in the same field. They combine all the styles
of IDM from the last decade creating something new, from
ambient, to glitch to drum ‘n’ bass. There’s also a
nice menacing, dark feel to the pieces which adds to the
powerful impact of the album.

This is as exciting as any early Aphex record and ill be
remembered for a long time to come. Knowing Toytronic,
‘Basics’ will probably be sold out by the time you read
this. Nevertheless, this is clearly album of the month and
well worth the wait.

9/10
