algroth Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Some usual Blanck Mass excellence right here. Crunchy industrial beats, chopped up vocal harmonies, wonderful synth lines and textures, it's basically the quintessential sound right here.

algroth Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Platform by Holly Herndon is quite wonderful, blending the dizzying sonic collages and polyrhythms of IDM with the spiritual glitch of Murcof's Martes to create an art pop record that recalls Björk at her best at times, in feel if not necessarily in sound, filled with that same kind of creative drive and resonant core.

injurai Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Murcof - Martes is one of the finest albums I've heard. I wish it got more love. @algroth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more reminiscent of the usual Amon Tobin sound than Fear in a Handful of Dust (though I don't speak with the greatest authority in the matter either). I'll have a listen to it! Also Martes is indeed superb, to me what Murcof's done there is essentially the electronic equivalent to the sacred minimalism of John Tavener, Arvo Pärt and the likes. Really transcendent work. This is probably my favorite track off the album: 1 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromnir Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 am knowing hall and oates is a bit o' a punchline nowadays also, for more smooth pretty purdie drum effort, purdie shuffle for the win. HA!

Yeah, both his albums and those with F--- Buttons tend to have this very expansive, maximalist "wall of noise" approach to them, but it does feel like he's taking this particular record farther with the noise and death industrial influences than his previous work. It feels harsher and more aggressive, and in a way it reminds me of Ben Frost's A U R O R A as well. But whereas I feel A U R O R A suffers a bit from all the noise and compression somehow drowning out the lower frequencies and making the record feel a little tinny, Animated Violence Mild does have that weight to it and I think it makes its very crunchy "cosmic bulldozer" sound quite appealing. I quite like it. Edited August 17, 2019 by algroth My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algroth Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Speaking of new albums, did I link the new album by Lingua Ignota before? Caligula's quite extraordinary, blending the harshness of death industrial and power electronics production with dense orchestral arrangements to create a pretty harrowing, mastodonic experience, with her undeniably powerful declamatory voice at the forefront of it all. Truly one of the finest vocalists around. Again, you can listen to the full thing here.
