blonde redhead - 23 so far so good. moody and atmospheric indie rock without that emo bullshit. do make say think - you, you're a history in rust it's still growing on me. i was kind of disappointed at first because it's not as epic as previous albums, but it's good. jasper tx - a darkness a bit of a letdown i think. half of the record is decent ambient/drone, the other half is cheese. aidan baker - the sea swells a bit... good, real good. gareth s. brown - iron henry similar in style to yann tiersen. would make a great soundtrack to a quirky french movie. bracken - we know about the need i expected too much from this album. it could have been great, but whatever. of montreal - hissing fauna, are you the destroyer? i love some tracks, but others are painful to listen to. like most hyped up indie rock albums, wears thin pretty quickly. |

Mono - Travels In Constants Vol 22 : - The Phoenix Tree - Standard mono formula (aka tease you, build it up, then wham it down your throat), but one which works beautifully. Pretty epic in places (the end of "Gone" almost blew me out of my seat when I first heard it), this really is fantastic instrumental/post-rock. Front Line Assembly - Tactical Neural Implant - FLA are seen as a second-rate Skinny Puppy by some, but I always enjoyed their sound. EBM with funk and even a "Set Up System" sample is thrown in for good measure. My favourite track is "The Blade", purely for that fantastic bassline. Dynarec - Lagomorph - Dynarec is one of my favourite electro producers at the moment and this 12" delivers on all fronts. Funky rhythms and great melodies. Clearly inspired by Dopplereffekt in places, but it is done so tastefully. I love it. |

Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours A set of nice melancholy songs from Mr Sinatra. I predict big thinks for young blue eyes. |

i'll have to check that mono. of all the mogwai copycats out there i like mono the best. i heard the split disc with world's end girlfriend is quite good too. which brings me to... explosions in the sky - all of a sudden i miss everyone kind of shit. not that i was expecting greatness, but i'm kind of over their sound. they can be too dramatic at times. i prefer post-rock of the more subtle variety. |

Bitstream - One Third Standard Lux Not as good as Domestic Economy, probably because this is a compilation so doesn't work as an album as well, but really good tracks! Loving the Ligeti samples Robert Logan - Cognessence Wooo, love it. Speechless. |

Venetian Snares- Pink + Green (released 07)- Gay ass album title. The first track was good.. (or more specifically, it has this one sound I like.) The rest of the tracks are garbage, AGAIN. Kool Keith- The Comi$$ioner 2 (released late 06.)- This might be Kool Keith's most demented release yet. He's not even trying at ALL anymore, and that's why it's awsome. It makes no sense at all. I can't stop listening to it. Listen to the track "The Caribbean" and you'll see what I'm talking about. |

oh yeah I checked out that new Stars of the Lid too... It's kinda boring but it has a few good tracks such as "The Daughters Of Quiet Minds" and "Tippy's Demise." More or less it's the same shit for 2 hours though (double cd) |

1) fennesz sakamoto - cendre: nice one. 2) fennesz, o'rourke, rehberg - the return of fenn o'berg: liked it better than at first, heard a sample of Yellow Magic Orchestra "fireckracker", tried to add a comment about this on discogs, learned that sample trivia is not accepted. 3) apparat - walls: haven't been a fan and still am not. 4) hector zazou - strong currents: first track and some in the middle are good. all are good, it is Hector Zazou, but those i said are easier to dig. 5) hector zazou - geographies: Vera C. is a very good song, except for that guitar sound. 6) to rococo rot - koelner brett: nice one. 7) to rococo rot - eisfeld: too ambient 8) pan•american / to rococo rot - split: nice 9) to rococo rot - veiculo: better on speakers, than in headphones (applies to all TRR) 10) vinkeloe / cremaschi / masaoka / robair - klang. farben. melodie: also better on speakers. and loud. but it's a waste of time to listen to free improvisation more than once, better to get some more free improv music and listen it for one time only each. 11) shilkloper / volkov / starostin - XXIV or whatever: not groovy except for one track. |

if you like to rococo rot, Matvey i strongly recommend Kreidler's magnificent "appearance and the park" and the even more magnificent "weekend" |

i'll try that. It is Schneider's group, isn't it? |

that seems to be the general consensus. i was going to pick that record up, but i passed on it. |

Venetian Snares - Pink and Green I like the first track only because i like the vocal sample, and the third track, but those two has already gone thin for me. The rest has been shite since i first put it on. Ceephax Acid Crew - Acid Travelator (Funbox001) I can't get enough of this one, and the Acid Quiff side is also growing on me more and more. The Avalanches - Since I Left You What more can i say? After hearing it atleast a 100 times in a row basicly, it still doesn't bore me at all. I like this one alot. Genetic World - Telepopmusic They should've left the shitty rap tracks out, they are completely tasteless. Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere Hahahahaha oh man, why. that's about it i think |

*Hannu - Worms in my piano Beautiful experimantal piano music. Gives me some of the same feeling as Deaf Center. City Centre Offices couldn't release bad music if they tried to. *Springintgut - Park and Ride Another CCo-favorite. More playful and danceable than most of the other stuff on the label. This is happy music. *Springintgut - Posten 90 Had to check out his other record, and this is also recommended. Melodic, happy. *Aleksi Pärala - Project V Nice record. Certainly not a top-10 record this year, but...nice * Of montreal - hissing fauna, are you the destroyer? Varies from excellent to terrible. "The past is a grotesque animal" is maybe my favorite track atm. |

Hmm, I'll have to check the other Springintgut record. Very much like Park And Ride. I do mini-reviews of stuff I like each month , but in terms of other stuff not listed: Gui Boratto, Chromophobia - Great second half to this record. Kompakt has surprised me so far this year with quality techno tunage. Thee Stranded Horse, Churning Strides - Side project of Encre with some singer. The vocals annoy me, but I really like the acoustic guitar work. Takeshi Nishimoto, Monologue - Super minimal/quiet guitar stuff. I think I need a different setting than the train ride to work to enjoy it. Victor Bermon, Arriving At Night - Only given one listen, but very nice stuff from Hefty. Kind of what you'd expect Prefuse to sample in his records. Apparat, Walls - He's still doing the vocal stuff a lot, but it sounds so much better than that pussy Morr Music shit. Apparat never seems to miss for me. Great stuff. Battles, Mirrored - It's okay but I feel they could be doing more. Atlas is strangely addicting though. |

dave stapleton - sleek arm 35 drive disc is fucking gold, mine is a promo copy. tracks frozen rope, ghandis glock, hose filled with sand, and backpack harbinger are where idm should be headed. |

cco has been one of my favorite labels for years. the offshoot label büro is just as good in my opinion. i listen to the gentlemen losers s/t album very frequently. |

I've noticed that CCO has that sublabel, but never checked it out. Gonna listen to TGL. Thanks for the tip! Marlowe: I have absolutely no idea. It just sounds great |

Seaworthy - Map in Hand Very relaxing and atmospheric album. Sawako - Hum I usually play this album at night, very hypnotic. Alva Noto - Xerrox Vol.1 There was a topic here about this release and im sure most of you know it. Awsome album. |

ok here you are dj distance- my demons (planet mu): I really like dubstep stuff and this album is a good starting point; not at the same level of kode9&spaceape or skream album, so: 7/10 kaiser chiefs- yours truly angry mob: listened to it because a friend wanted to a part from Ruby which is nice (not the words of course) the rest is tedious and without ideas sounds all the same not my genre: 5.5/10 amon tobin-foley room: one great return amazing stuff, not equal to permutation or bricolage but it's boring being always perfect 8.5/10 mira calix-eyes set againt the sun: i was quite disappointed about the previous skimkitta, ihad no great expectations for this, but i was wrong it's definetly better, great sounds, love Protean 7.5/10 bjork-volta: ok i love her so my opinion is not relevant 8.5/10 but i think it deserves more than this.best of 2007 so far klaxons-myths of the near future: great band and great album. i love atlantis to interzone. different music to hear finally. But where is the nu rave?? 8.5/10 |

second part: maximo park-our earthly pleasure: ok, first i know them because they are on warp, otherwise i woudn't consider them; second thing: why not buying battles or !!! instead? both are far better. I don't understand people choices. I hope warp will use MP success to release albums that really count like clark autechre and boc. 6/10 cocorosie-the adventure of ghosthorse and stillborn: pretty tidious this thing of "wannabe bjork". Cocorosie continue to write songs as if the came from Iceland and all those things but no one can teach talent. anayway not a bad record but not a record of the year as well 7/10 cornelius - sensous: probably the most talented japanese artist he's really good in what he does, that means four tet+beck stuff (not completely true I Know); Fantasma is still my fav, this is kind like previous Point 8/10 sorry now i spoke only of recent released records, and you asked recent listened album so i add one more future sound of london-the isness: ok this is a masterpiece, a great timeless record; nothing in previous FSOL step to this; really mind blowing 9.5/10 |
