Armand Hammer - Furtive Movements [EP]

9 track EP from the minds of Billy Woods and Elucid. If they replaced the remixes on this album (Willie Bosket and Duppy from their previous album, Race Music) with fresh tracks this could be a solid full release. It's got the darkness of their early work but with less grime and more jazz in the production. Great verses from both emcees, no surprises here. Favourite tracks are CRWNS, B.E.T., and Touch And Agree because they have great lyricism.

Can't wait to see what's on the horizon for these guys.

^ I love that Bosket remix.

I recently downloaded an album called O' Love Deep Hoof, which is a mashup of Deefhoof and Death Grips. It's pretty awesome actually.

Edit: google censorship strikes again, the pic was too sexy (or weird)
Fallujah - The Flesh Prevails (2014)

Definitely deserving of all the hype its getting. Slammin' death metal fun with some gorgeous production + atmosphere proves to be a delicious contrast.

Majid Jordan - A Place Like This (2014)

Not heard this yet but I have been told the dude is kind of like The Weeknd (alternative R&B). I like him a fair bit so it's worth checking back.

An obscure psychedelic rock album from 1968. It sounds like the band was influenced primarily by The Beatles, The Who, The Moody Blues, and The Byrds, but with a more garage rock sound to the psych. There's even a song called "What's a Man" with some guitar playing that sounds exactly like some of Kurt Cobain's typical guitar playing. (I wonder if he ever heard this album?) Enjoyable all the way through, but never quite reaching the heights of any of the bands they sound influenced by.
This sounds cool - gonna check it out.

I adore it. I am a big fan of repetition, or maybe more accurately in this case, a lack of concrete or abrupt shifts. The album cover is apt. It's basically like travelling over the ocean. This wave looks like that wave, sure, but I just like entirety of it all. It's a very reflective piece, at least for me.

Panopticon - Roads To The North (2014)

So far this isn't lighting my fire the way Kentucky did, but I'm only on the second song in an hour and eleven minute album so I'll reserve full judgement till the end. I do hope that there's less an attempt to ape the European folk music because one of the main reasons I loved Kentucky so much was it felt like the first true American folk metal album.

First thoughts for me on Roads to the North and i think it's on par with, or atleast very close to, Kentucky. Collapse continues to be my favorite release of his but this last one has certainly not been a disappointment. Well maybe except for the excrutiatingly stereotypical album name and cover.

because there's no pretense of "loveliness" - rather a well-chosen system utilizing well-chosen pitch aggregates.
Of course, that doesn't mean that it's not lovely (Eno) - just that it doesn't come off as trying to be -
which is what I get a little from Sakamoto's playing. In my head, I'm thinking how differently I might've
presented the "24-days/24 different keys" idea. I think I just would've liked a bit more of a melding of sonics
rather than a guy playing various harmonics at a rate/level of sameness with a backing of gentle electronics.
Are we supposed to eventually forget that Fennesz was even involved? I don't dislike it. It seems that it could've
been done with more attention to balance and less personality. There's a recording "out there" of a performance
of Fennesz with Roedelius and Autechre that I'd like to hear that I'd like to think has lots of "personality"
but wouldn't try to pretend that it doesn't. Just guessing considering the sources. Anyway, still listening...
hmm fair enough. I can certainly see your criticisms, even if I'm my overall attachment to the album won't change. I'm curious, do you like Cendre? I feel like it may have held more interest with you in terms of its cohesion, or at least, having a stronger Fennesz element.
