Your ratings for 2, 3, and 40 hurt. Here’s some reccs tho, some of my faves of the year:
-Francisco Lopez - untitled (2021-2022) (field recordings/musique concrete)
-X or Size - Aether Ore (ambient/electronic)
-7038634357 - Neo Seven (ambient pop/electronic/noise)
-Trichomoniasis - Makeshift Crematoria (free death - brutal death metal played like free jazz)
-Marek Pospieszalski - No Other End of the World Will There Be (compositions by female Polish composers reimagined as avant-garde jazz)
No problem
Since you’ve heard Neo Seven, I’ll replace that with: Deathbed Tapes - Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia: The Fear of the Number of the Beast (Various Artists)
6 tracks, 6 different artists (including Vomir and Black Leather Jesus!) all exactly 6 minutes long. Fucking AMAZING harsh noise full of creepy news report samples, all themed around Satanic rituals.
And fyi you’re not missing much in regard to the new Stimming lol
Edit: oh, Neo Seven was literally on this list lol, must’ve scrolled right past it.
There's a lot I need to check on my list(s) still, but tbh I'm having a lot of fun listening to non-2023 music so I doubt I'll be getting to it anytime soon.
I got Tinashe written down ofc, bop is interesting 🤔 and crystal castles is also an odd sell. I tend to like the idea of crystal castles but we’ll see, I suppose.
Superstardom is in the database under Octi and Wintercastle fyi. And yeah that album is awesome.
Also, one more: The Humble Bee - Lichen Cloak on a White Stone
One of the best ambient albums I’ve heard in a long time.
