2014 Musical Recordings

Did not know you could attach entire albums via Spotify into a post like this. Pozzed for the technological insights provided.

Yeah, that's a solid collection. Ted, as always, is elite.

had that Vermont album on the other day in the car. I liked it alot!!

I've spun the new Future Islands album 5 times in the last 24hrs. Huge fan.

that's a glowing rec to me

i'll have to spin the whole thing soon

Do you guys have any interest in Evian Christ? I was obsessed with Kings And Them for a long time after it released. I'm about to put on his latest EP and I have pretty high hopes.

For those that haven't heard his stuff you should check this out:


I don't know if any of you guys ride the train into Union Station from the suburbs (Nick maybe?). But if you ever do picture all those hustlin' and bustlin' bros in suits listening to that second track on their way to work.

Yup this thing fucking kills. I'm way more interested in the influence this dude could have on mainstream rap music than whatever HudMo/Lunice/Rustie are doing. Speaking of the latter, why didn't another album ever come out?

^ nice

just been record shopping. currently blowing off the cobwebs with the new Millie & Andrea...



fucking loves it

oh yeah, i'm in widescreen   

really enjoying this Motor City Drum Ensemble track "The Stranger" on YouTube right now if anyone has any recs for his catalog

i need to spend all my time listening to German/Scandanavian techno/house/ambient

oh look at me! i can read articles on Resident Advisor!

I've never really used Soundcloud for more than a few minutes at a time until yesterday. Listened to that, a fucking shitload of NEW Shuttle358 music, and various house/techno mixes.

I don't know who Tim is but this picture is otm.

listening to this album makes me think a lot about Donkey Kong Country

Is that Vermont album on Spotify yet?

doesn't appear as such

jury's still out on it for me, lots of really great moments but also lots of wallpapery ones.

^ i found it a good late night driving album....a bit of an antidote to all the rough stuff i've been listening to of late

this made for a fun run through a springing Victoria Park early this morning:

really enjoying the albums by Cheatahs and The Horrors.

great thanks to this board for being my only provider of elite-sourced music

it's Terje time

New record by Tuneyards...

Oy. Well, maybe it'll be less obnoxious than the last one.

...called Nicky Nack.

this is even more delightful the second time through. i love the way the new tracks are thematically linked by their loungy stylings and the Leisure Suit Preben character. still, i was surprising at just how eclectic the whole thing is. it also made me remember how much i liked the Swing Star series.

really good.

the sinogrime as concept album hype around the Fatima Al Qadiri debut certainly piqued my interest and the first listen is ticking a lot of boxes.

Bruegel wrote:sinogrime

didn't possibly think when i read this word, despite the clear etymology, that it could be a UK-grime interpretation of traditional Chinese music, but here we are.

If memory serves, that mix doesn't include Morbyd Syn's Chinese Riddim (often wrongly credited to Wiley)

worth mentioning that XTC's Functions On The Low (aka my favourite grime instrumental ever) owes a lot to this sound...
