Tell me what was good this year, I was busy.

Mum jokes aside.. erm.

I had a shit year and the only musical highlight that came
out this year for me was Exai.

Yup, that. And the BoC, The Field, Oneohtrix, Tim Hecker.

I still haven't solved all the Exai mazes.

I could get shot for this but i got more pleasure from Glow
(Jackson and his Computerband) than Tomorrow's Harvest.

Glow didn't even blip my radar. I'll have to give it a
listen. I do like Tomorrow's Hamfest a lot. It's a bit dour
for everyday listening maybe though.

I had a pretty good year, which has been soundtrack'd to a
large extent by Astrobotnia, Jega, Bochum Welt, d'Archangelo
etc. Not new releases but artists I never really bothered
with before but have caught up with this year.

Exai is not too bad but I don't jerk off over it. New mu-ziq
was great. Tomorrow's Harvest was good but yep just too
depressing, I can't enjoy it in the same way.

ceephax - cro magnox.
muziq - chewed corners.
still keeping the faith for pye corner audio's black mill
tapes #4 in 2013.

(Thanks to various internet radio/discovery services, I also
discovered lots of old stuff this year...)

Thx. Jah mang, I was pretty impressed with the Far Cry 3
Blood Dragon soundtrack, as well.

Well, my picks for the year- what has moved me "in that one
way that IDM used to"- is all the vaporwave, seapunk, etc.
shiz been around. Lotta hit and miss, but the good shit-
oh, man, what a crazy compilation the tracks would make, all
putting you in some coked out psychedelic 80's that didn't
even exist for you. Lazer shoulderpads 4 life, apparently.

I think I'm going to like Venetian Snares again, for several
hours at least. We'll see how that holds up.

Love the stuff from tri angle records, that's my discovery
of the year. For the rest, you know: exai, boc, ceephax, mbv
etc. Overall this year was pretty good for me :-)
I also noticed a change this year: more people accept
electronic music, for example: the daft punk album. It's now
easier to explain what you're listening to when you talk
about electronic music, acid, idm etc.

+1 on Retape

Looking at 2013-stuff in my library is kinda telling me how
much I feel like an old geezer that only listens to older
shit.

But 2013 have brought the following good stuff:
Bwoy De Bhajan - 2032
Minilogue - Blomma
Abstraxion - Break Of Lights (album)
well I don't have to say it, but BoC also...

And that's about that... major letdowns was Siriusmo and
Moderat. Both was albums that I had been waiting for, and
both ended up not delivering a lot. There was a lot of
singing on the albums, and that just doesn't fit any of
those two.

The new NIN has been spinning on my mp3, and Gold Panda's
'half of where you live' is quite fascinating too.

Sup everybody. You just reminded me that I haven't made it
through Exai once yet. My electronics is failing, as
evidenced by this shite list of things I enjoyed this year,
each with an example youtube.

Atoms For Peace - Amok
Thundercat - Apocalypse
The House In The Woods - Bucolica
Laurel Halo - Chance of Rain
Inga Copeland - Don't Look Back...
Earl Sweatshirt - Doris
Tyler, The Creator - Wolf
FKA Twigs - EP2
The Stranger - Watching Dead Empires in Decay
Sky Ferreira - Night Time, My Time

I actually really like the Sky Ferreira album, sue me. I'm
very surprised there are two Odd Future albums in there.
Wouldn't have predicted that at the beginning. If anything
this year was marked by artists that I used to love
releasing albums that didn't do anything for me, Steve
Mason, Eels, BoC etc. There was also a bunch of great stuff
I heard on bandcamp, I'll try to put together a band camp
list later.

Your list is the best. Really enjoying the James Holden and
ap musik, thanks for the pointers. Was already enjoying Tim
Hecker and The Field (first of his stuff I've liked). Our
tastes and genitals are compatible. Let's do a sex.

I lost track of music when my ipod went in for repair, I
reeeeally should pay that 40 quid and rescue it...

Albums... Kylesa, Dillinger Escape Plan, Pelican, Russian
Circles, Palms, Carcass, Immolation, Vista Chino, Jon
Hopkins, QOTSA, Arctic Monkeys(!), Frankmusik,

Stuff on youtube I dug... Sleep Terror, George Ezra, Callum
Graham and most of Candyrat, Cinemasins, Screenjunkies

Honorable irritated mention to Buckethead for releasing
something like 28 albums this year alone, I spun em all at
least once if rarely twice

Film (so far)

1. Gravity
2. Upstream Colour
3. Captain Phillips
4. Mud
5. The Kings of Summer
6. Pain and Gain
7. The Way Way Back
8. The World's End
9. Prisoners
10. Side Effects
11. The Place Beyond the Pines
12. Maniac
13. Stuck in Love
14. This Is the End
15. Stoker
16. Behind the Candelabra
17. The Great Gatsby
18. The East
19. Elysium
20. Fat Kid Rules The World

Not bad:

White House Down, The Last Stand, Alan Partridge: Alpha
Papa, Disconnect, The Dirties, Fast and Furious 6, Trance,
Machete Kills

The other 100 or so I saw are barely worth a mention

Anyone got any youtube channels links?

I have to check the Vista Chino album. I'm behind on my
stoner-rock dose.

Have you checked the short movie Overview? The
soundtrack is magnificent, and free here.

I love that 2013 Forest Swords album from Tri Angle. It has
lots of space/dub in it. I hunt for such reverb/atmospherics
in music. The last long track on the album with farfisa
w/vibrato turned on - class.
