/daily/ - Japanese Improv Edition

Nope, I can't find a dl link and I'm on ratio watch on what.cd so I should dl it from slsk but I'm to lazy love u

Dreamend - So I Ate Myself Bite By Bite

What are you listening to today?

Nothing new because I wasn't in the mood. Magnolia Electric Co., Boys For Pele and the Twin Peaks album of Xiu Xiu.

What about you?

rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/various_artists_f2/сховайся/

>I'm on ratio watch

Can't you just borrow a few shitty CDs from old local bands from a library and upload them?

Going to listen to that Julius Eastman thing later today.

rateyourmusic.com/release/album/anthony_braxton/compositions_no__10_and_no__16___101_/

I should inform myself about how it works. Is it enough to upload stuff or do people have to actually dl it?

heard it

Tori Amos - Boys For Pelè

I haven't used wcd in a looooong time, but I think just uploading things will get you some credit. You could look at the bounties people have and order cheap ones off Amazon for easy ratio credit as well. Or if you know how, you could rip old prog LPs that never got issued on CD since people always seem interested in that.

anaal nathrakh- hell is empty, all the devils are here

i just noticed the art was a face

updated october, help me fill this up

>must be streamable on yt, bandcamp, or spotify
>1 hour or less,

I think it's pretty unsettling despite also being fun, but move it to another week to play it safe.

here's the template if anyone else is up for an old-school calendar this october
it's not perfect but whatever, I had to add a row

okeydokey thanks

Ignore the last one as it's not streammable. Утpo is also kinda spooky

Cool
Drudkh - Blood in Our Wells
Swirlies - What to Do About Them
Vandal X - Instant Dislike (bonus points for being like so obscure man)
Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi is Dead

those links dont work, the ruskie text confuses rym
also I wouldnt be able to find it later anyway

rateyourmusic.com/release/album/hype_williams_f1/find_out_what_happens_when_people_stop_being_polite__and_start_gettin_reel/

Haha yes?

First one is "Утpo - Утpo", you can easily find it on yt. Second one is Tori Amos - Boys For Pelè, it's even on spotify

...

put intestinal disgorge back on

tori is on the calendar already, blindman
I think i'll just do that one
is there actually anything on it better than Crazy though? I mean I like Dangermouse and cee lo but

thanks

Hello
Here's the tourney you forgot about again
All recs were good but nothing was stellar.
The 3rd String Quartet was, however. The first few tracks of Cluster's rec too, so that's why I chose those two for the finals.

Need recs from:
Anonymousé
Supercluster

Rec whatever you like, idc :)

no

>is there actually anything on it better than Crazy though?
Yes.

added thanks

then use this

no

Ye I'm blind (yтpo is great tho. Not sure if you have heard Unknown Pleasures cause it's not on you rym but if you liked it then you'll like this one too)

Makes sense that Crazy was the top single from it, though, it's definitely the most pop appealing track.

rateyourmusic.com/release/album/three-mile-pilot/the-chief-assassin-to-the-sinister/

COMPLETE!
Anaal Nathrakh was incredible, despite some vocal styles i'm not a fan of
Pathology was brutal death with some weird gargly vocals, pretty solid

but y

>Not sure if you have heard Unknown Pleasures cause it's not on you rym but if you liked it then you'll like this one too
I haven't heard it
I know 'love will tear us apart' though so it's all good

actually you know what do The Odd Couple instead it's a really under-appreciated album. I think it's actually better than their debut too but I'm a total bleb & nobody should listen to my opinions.

a sample tho if you wanna check it out a bit first

Aside from that relistening to pick related, it's so fucking good

Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells
so enthralled with this was I that I went out and bought 3 of their albums on Amazon, two of which I have never heard before, cost 60 dollarydoos, I have a sickness
It's atmoshit but it's damn fine atmoshit, it knows when to hold 'em, knows when to fold 'em, knows when to walk away, and knows when to run

Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
also pretty good, less impressive than say... Any of the Darkthrone Unholy Trinity but still good, got greater clarity and rips harder I would say

Weakling - Dead as Dreams
There's pretty much no relent here, very memorable, vocals are fuckin raw when you can hear them....

;-; ok

left a comment guy, read it out

One more spot left go

what was that last song you played, wasn't paying attention and didn't hear

which album did you buy?
also weakling are best

I'll give you a shout out but the peepee talk is too crude
acid revolution by the Rob Jo Star Band

Play some Henri Chopin and Hans Krusi.

Forgotten Legends, Autumn Aurora and Blood in Our Wells, I searched for the last one and Amazon was like, hey man, wanna buy all three? and I was like Yeah man, hit me

...

Autumn Aurora is also pretty good, so get hype

someone join muh fuggin tourney so i can go to bed
>lol it's 4:33

>Even Oxen is one of the similar artists for Hans Krusi on last.fm

If you found Weakling good you should now aim for Ulcerate

>weekends end
who the fuck came up with this meme

are they right, lads?

i think the issue i have with rym is that they think they're any less cancerous of a circlejerk than /daily/. at least we're self aware.

idk is there still place

a GREAT improvisation taking place in this moment
watch Keiji Haino do "it" WILD with his hurdy gurdy in PLUG right now!

There's some high level bait in that thread

And they're just crying for attention. Nothing said there is falsifiable, let alone based in reality. That post in particular is more a practice in semantic satiation of the word "meme" than any kind of coherent idea.

wdhmbt?

:^(

They think that early-2010s era Cred Forums where avant-teens were actually a thing and CLT's "patriciancore" chart was the gospel was the "golden age"

still, they are critizising memes, yet they may be the most meme-filled general on Cred Forums right now

I liked the first track, even though the first few minutes were far more arresting than the following ten-or-so. But just hearing it backwards afterword really didn't add much.

Not an official review btw, just bumping the thread

is that jackie chan

>/rym/ is making fun of us again

They are. It's why I stopped posting in /daily/ in the first place.
It's the most vapid and clueless general on this board(aside from maybe /noise/ which is dead anyway, so who cares).

Just empty regurgitation and everybody catching up with everybody else's taste who is again catching up with everybody else's taste, even if there's no foundations on which anybody in /daily/ can properly understand and evaluate the art which you consume(and it really is just empty consumption and undigested gorging on music enabled by the Internet and downloading, something to distract you while you're on the computer; no matter how great and valuable a record or an artist may be, for /daily/ they pretty much amount to the sonic equivalent of a bag of potato chips, with just as much long-term value and incentive for genuine immersion and analysis into an artist's work or a movement in art; use once and throw away).

It all reminds me of cheating on math tests in elementary school, and how if you got asked by the teacher to actually solve a mathematical problem you couldn't do it because you'd only have the solution to that problem which was whispered to you by a friend, you wouldn't have the knowledge to actually come to that solution yourself through your own work because you were a lazy turd and didn't study like you should have.

/daily/'s the same, and the thing about the "3/5 Japanese improv album" is totally 100% on point.
Alright, it's a an album deserving of a 3/5 rating. Why? "Well it just is!"

>at least we're self aware.

You might think you are but you really aren't.
/daily/'s attempts at self-awareness or self-deprecation still come with undertones of disingenuous circlejerky self-satisfaction which are pretty much this general's signature. Most of you are truly unbearable.

1.5/5 post

okay, this is funny, because the same argument just happened in /rym/
but with opposite standpoints

LOL i bet none of you even remember when weebteam ran Cred Forums

They didn't even run weebteam.

as if that wasn't my intention

yeah, this is true and probably my least favorite thing about this general

tbf torts you're one of the worst offenders in that aspect

Wow, you're right. Fuck this place, I'm out!
Where do the real music fans hang out so I can lurk for 8 years to build cred?

just proofs how similar these generaly really are, even if no one wants to admit it

why are you making this long ass posts about meaningless shit

>It's a /rym/ decides to roast a general but has to send an ambassador to make people see it episode

but then if you are like me you will be sad when it ends

How can some one be this mad?
No one ever claimed daily to be some intellectual safe space for in depth analytical discussion.
If you want that start a record club or take some kind of music history course. Personally I find partaking in such conversations to be far more exhausting and fruitless online than face to face with someone.

Post that pic of that ferret carrying the lemon please.

I did not. is it spooky?

>Big Tymers - I Got That Work

Basically just a worse version of their previous project. Mannie Fresh is solid as a producer for the most part... but some of the beats are just boring. Doesn't quite have the magic of the other release. The rappers here seem even more generic than before due to the weaker production.

The features are probably the best aspect of this release, specifically the ones from Wayne and Juvenile. They are much more entertaining rappers than Birdman or Mannie and help bring a bit of versatility to this release.

So yeah, definitely the lesser of their projects. Not terrible but not very entertaining outside of a few songs.

Only two more projects left on this chart, excited for both of them desu.

The Deadly Ones - It's Monster Surfing Time

This is Ryan Gosling's spooky-themed band, not really that spooky

that's a good one, it's got an alright spook aesthetic. Used to love it, now I just spin it once a year during halloween.
It's decent for indie pop, kids chorus helps a lot, makes me think of the Langley Schools project.

George Russell - Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved by Nature (1969)
>experimental big band, avant-garde jazz

This is it, this is the most anachronistic record ever. Every single thing about this album just feels like it should've been released on Tzadik in the '90s, or put out by a band like Ground-Zero or Fire!, but it's a live recording from 1969, and this is the most badass, incredible musical fact ever. Something like a mixture of big band, jazz-rock, and tape music seems like it should just crash and burn and focus on style over substance, but everything is done so seamlessly here, and each style has it's time to shine while never really drowning out any of the other styles. It takes a bit to get going, but when it gets going it's incredible, and so unbelievably inventive.

3.5

John Coltrane - The Africa Brass Sessions, Vol. 2 (May 23, 1961 - June 7, 1961)

Volume 2 of the Africa/Brass sessions proves itself to be a worthwhile release despite being mostly alternate takes. Song of the Underground Railroad, the first and only unique track, is dripping with emotion. The fiery interplay feels like a seperate statement from each musician, and when coupled together creates an aura greater than the sum of the parts. This is the highlight of the album for me, especially considering

The next two tracks, alternate takes from the original LP, are every bit as good and varied as the originals, but have very similar feel. Despite being fantastic in their own right, the question can be posed as to whether these alternate takes are worth owning alongside the original. The length of the tracks make them hard to compare side to side, but the structured approach here leaves little room for substantial deviations. Greensleeves is easily the weak link on this album, as it fails to match the raw emotion and excitability of the other two tracks. The structuring of having Africa as the closer works better in my opinion, as it has a celebratory feel to it. As stated in my Africa/Brass review, the additional brass instruments are captivating while still leaving the original quartet the focal point of the arrangements. This fantastic mix of instrumentation is captivating and overwhelming without being detractory; a fantastic balance.

A great standalone album from Coltrane and company, but only one I’d recommend to completionists of Coltrane or huge fans of Africa/Brass.

7.0 /10

how could I possibly reply to both of you in such a smol amount of time??

>a 7/10 on quad 7's
what does it mean lads

>Ganksta N-I-P - South Park Psycho

Though I'm not typically into hardcore hip-hop, I thoroughly enjoyed this listen. Dude goes so over the top with his violence that it's almost cartoonish. Like some of the vilest lines I've heard in hip-hop are on this album but God damn is it entertaining. I'm not even sure why. Like "Disgusting" is 100% an accurate title, it's one of the grossest raps I've heard. But... it works. I think the fact that it's so over the top makes it a fun listen.

The production really helps this a lot. It's a nice mix of what Three Six and the Geto Boys were doing, with lo-fi production techniques but more sparse minimalist elements. Plus N-I-P has a nice flow but it's a bit dated so you can only take him so seriously. Why I liked this so much more than X-Raided is kind of a mystery to me, they're fairly similar. I think it might be the production style.

Probably be one of the best non-Three Six horrorcore releases I've heard. If you like that style and don't mind cartoonish violence, I'd recommend it. Otherwise, probably stay away from it.

the freeform charts are where i listen to all the popular shit and the planned charts are where i listen to all the bullshit i found scouring RYM

The National - Boxer (2007)
>indie rock, post-punk revival

A weird cross-breed between Tindersticks and Interpol, with maybe a tiny bit of Radiohead and Beat Happening thrown in, the latter mainly due to the vocal similarities. Sadly, this takes more from Tindersticks (who I really don't like) more than any other influence, and it ends up being a pretty damn boring album as a result. It's done very well, I love Berninger's vocals, but the songs themselves have no real emotional impact and just no real impact at all, the melodies are bland and there's no real variation between any tracks. It picks up a lot when it gets a bit faster-paced and more post-punky, like on the actually fantastic "Mistaken for Strangers". If more of the album stuck to this sound, it'd be great, but as is with all the meandering chamber pop, it's just kinda okay.

2.0+

i've never heard this album as a whole but "psycho" is such a great song

>drunk a pint of goat's blood, then I died in a squirrel's nest

Mega review inc, it's probably way too long for its own good

I got that same anachronistic vibe from Ezz-thetics, but not in the belongs-on-Tzadik way that you described. It's very interesting that Russell really evokes that specific feeling. I'll have to give that a listen

woi

>Ivor Darreg - Detwelvulate!
Ivor Darreg was a 20th century composer, coiner of the term ‘Xenharmonics’ (unfortunately reduced to meme status ‘round these parts), and inventor of many an instrument. Contemporary to Harry Partch in more ways than one, he experimented and composed almost exclusively in the wacky weird world of microtonality and reinvented scale. However, his was much more mathematical, and it shows: Xenharmonics were largely based on just scales, and his compositions are organized here by tones per octave.

The opener here, “Megalyra & Baglama Duet” is a dark, ominous piece featuring cavernous string plucking from the baglama, and amazing, cavorting, violin-esque drones from the megalyra (one of Darreg’s own instruments). It’s one of the best pieces here, and it’s a shame it’s so short. Prelude #2 for 19-Tone Guitar sounds a lot like a Lorren Connors track, and all that implies. 17-Tone Improvisations #1 and 2 are eerie, almost whimsical pieces on kind of cheesy synthesizers.

After these four brief pieces begins the count-up, 16 pieces of increasing tonal nuance, ranging from 9 tones per octave to 51 tones per octave, on various instruments. Interestingly, the pieces generally seem to decrease in clarity, becoming more vague and abstract, more spectral by the tone count (until the last two). Interestingly, although every track specifies its instrument, a lot of tracks sound synthesized (especially the string tracks). It’s entirely possible that they were, considering this dude was basically homeless for a good chunk of his life, and probably unable to scrounge together a small orchestra to perform his compositions.

>1/3

The violin and orchestra piece (17 tones per octave) creates another dark and brooding atmosphere, but really doesn’t develop anywhere with its limited runtime—a problem that a few other tracks also face. The bass megalyra composition (18 tones) again descends deeper into darkness, emphasizing the already unbalanced-seeming nature inherent to weird tunings, especially those close enough to the 12-tone scale. The track does generate lots of cool sounds though.

The 19-tone composition for english horn and string is one of the more strikingly beautiful on the album, leaping from darkness into holy light. Unfortunately followed by the aimless tibetan bowl and synthesizer filter sweep pieces (20 and 21 tones respectively), the piece fails to develop or lead into anything greater with its 3 minute-and-change runtime. Pan Flute and Strings is a cool little dichotomy of earthy woodwind and synth-y strings, while the too following string pieces continue to experiment with strings in increasingly abstract landscapes.

The 31-tone brass and timpani piece is probably the best since the 19-tone english horn piece, and traces similar steps—it’s bright, victorious, and righteous. The 32-tone piece is again a bit aimless, featuring a hodgepodge of flute, strings, and bells. (And how does one even tune a bell to a 32-tone scale?) The 36-tone “FM and Additive Timbres” is mysterious—the lengthiest and most abstract piece here, sounding a lot like longform Morton Feldman. The following pieces are much the same, 39-tone “FM Synths and Carillon” a bit darker and more thunderous, the 40-tone “FM Timbres, Chimes, and Bells” even more eerily abstract and darker still.

>2/3

Then comes the 51-tone piece for Harpsichord. The odd man out of the whole album, it sounds a lot more like a punky, chirpy, synth-generated Residents cover than any sort of esoteric xenharmonic composition. It’s still a fantastic song, just sort of out of place. It’s really one of the most unique pieces here. And finally, probably the best track here, is the serene 53-tone string piece. The stings shimmer and shine, regaining the clarity lost by the increasing abstractness of previous string pieces. They form definitive and memorable melodies, bright and full of wonder. The track is given plenty of time to develop, and really functions as more than just an experiment in tonality, as many of these pieces do—easily my favorite track here.

Now, Darreg had this theory that different tunings like this could create different moods, and this album certainly puts that to the test. But even after repeated listens, it’s still a little difficult to discern here—considering different instruments were used across the pieces, themselves tending to certain moods. Really I think the instruments better dictate the moods of the tracks, although the pieces do grow more abstract as the number of tones per octave increases, and as Darreg stipulated, they do seem “calmer” if not more inherently mysterious. The entire album, if not consistently engaging in melody and songwriting, is full of compositional wonders and plenty of interesting ideas worth hearing. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an album this many times before reviewing it.
>7/10

>3/3

And now done with my first listening chart of fall

Shit, pressed enter before I could upload the chart

too many good albums to list--it was a very productive chart

Upon relistening, I don't think Yor, Tomasz Stánko, or Dave Holland/Barre Philips should be rated as highly as they were, and I think I actually underrated Nation Time; should probably be 9/10, Omar-S; cohesive thematic techno releases this good are rare, and Taku Sugimoto/Moe Kamura; there are some truly amazing moments of clarity on that album

On to the next chart

I missed the Tomasz Stanko review, what did you think of it?

Thought it was very cool, quirky polish jazz--I got it from some sharethread years ago

I was especially intrigued by the rhythmically-focused tracks here. Yhe long expanses of solo drumming are crazy, but not the most interesting upon repeated listens. I think I'd originally pegged it as a 9, but it's probably more of an 8. All the tracks are still great tho

nice page 9 saving bump btw

Yesterday me, cluster, givingbear and another discord user went into voice chat and talked about stuff. We discussed about how we like Animals for example and our opinions about the album. Bear even ordered a pizza to Cluster from Texas.

You can say anything you want about /daily/ but not that there's no connection or music discussion

Awesome
I also enjoy how sparse and rhythmic it is to, the synthesizer really makes it sound like nothing else in jazz.
Definitely one of his more underrated albums

>discussed how we all like Animals
/rym/ is right, no fruitful discussion takes place here I see

And then people ask why rym is bullying us...

Let me rephrase it. Me and Panda like Animals and Giving bear has never heard it before so yesterday we were explaining what do we like about the record to him. You should be happy that we exist tho, otherwise you'd have no one to show how patrician you are to :^)

Figured discord was pointless and toxic, guess I gotta get myself on there more often
Haven't actually checked anything else of his out yet, any recs?
>And then people ask why rym is bullying us...
ho ho

Robert Hood's Minimal Nation was kind of underwhelming btw, few of the tracks grabbed me at all ("Station Rider E" and "Sleep Cycles" were cool), through speakers or headphones. I won't let this impact my opinions, but I'm kind of peeved that the track listing is so different with every release of this album. Not sure if I have the best one, but not interested enough to listen to the others. Is this a choice of Hood's, or the labels?

Overall decent minimal techno. Most of the tracks weren't interesting for their whole runtime.

>pls dont yell at me about black history again

it was until i got banned, then the music discussion started and they all lived happily
>Animals
oh yeah, Pink Floyd's second best
yeah i like it too
great review. Can't thank you enough for those tips of information, i'm too lazy to look up those stuff. Really glad you liked it, and i guess we both agree the last track is amazing. You should check out Bang On A Can - Live Vol 1 for some Totalism and yet again some more amazing and fun stuff

>You should check out Bang On A Can - Live Vol 1
Will do. Totalism is usually cool

If you haven't already btw, I'd check out Harry Partch. He's similar to Darreg in his rejection of mainstream tonal theory, but his execution and writing are pretty different. "U.S. Highball" and "Delusion of the Fury" are both great, and are a bit more fully realized as pieces than Darreg's experiments. I think you'd enjoy either.

I was actually making a joke at the expense of your poor taste in PF
I could see how you misread my post tho

>any recs?
Music for K is essential Polish Jazz

At the beginning of the summer, I decided I'd write a long-form article about my favorite hip-hop articles. Only about a fourth of the way to my original goal (100 albums) and here's where I'm at.

Welp... maybe I'll just write a book instead? Even though no one will read it? Maybe I can put that on my resume? Ugh

What should I do /daily/?

No one reads books anyways
Go for it

Yeah I guess I might as well. It's actually been a very entertaining process up to this point. I just feel like a cliché trying to write a book but fuck it

Bee Movie or Shrek

Love listening to my EPIC /daily/core albums with fellow Redditors. Can I get a FRICK yes???

Who's next on r/listentothis? Keiji Haino? Fishmans? Sun City Girls? The options are just so AWESOME xD

Shrek 2

still listening, dude it's so hard to listen to bulk of noise music for me i've had to take it track by track.

God bless Cred Forums drama.

We all gave up the right to have our opinion taken seriously the second we posted on this mess of a board but now we're all flinging our shit around and beating our chests over which particular inmates get to run the asylum.

lmao shut the fuck up you fucking "le intellectual" go back to your keiji haino

This post reads like a mong shouting "i like pizza" in a retarded lispy voice when confronted with something difficult

It was me and I'm surprised people are so fucking dense and think music listening is a project based hobby.

Seriously, people here think albums are something to tick off a checklist "yup, I've done gud today, 'listened' to two albums vapidly", wow such cred.

I 100% agree with this post.

It took the discussion yesterday to realize that the reason people here do "charts" isn't because they're enjoying an exploratory aspect of music listening, it's because they want to tick off having listened to certain albums based on what image it gives them. It's truly terrible.

>No one ever claimed
No, but the air everyone gives off is that they believe themselves to be above everyone else. All the self-deprication is just "ironic", just like the memes. Fuck.

ugh Sea Change is such a bore, feels like Bono singing ballads over whacky arrangements.
Where the hell did the funny Beck I loved so much go?

the air of superiority is probably more ironic though

>it's a /drama/ instead of /daily/ episode
lamo

>It took the discussion yesterday to realize
well arent you the brightest

has anybody seen jimmy jazz

uhh he sure went past

I am jimmy jazz

damn i will have to catch him around some other time

It's "post-ironic". That's where the ironic self-deprication comes in.

Clearly not. I actually was naive enough to think people here enjoyed exploring music, but that sure was wrong.

Gibe a random streammable album

Junk has grown on me recently. This performance is fantastic. Also, completely in love with the keyboard player.

do jim hendrix :}

To those who dislike Leo Kottke, I have a question:

Why?

I'm listening to 6 and 12 String Guitar now and I think it is a very pleasant album. Maybe it's just because I've not heard much American Primitivism but I'm liking it a lot. There seem to be a good amount of not so positive feelings from others towards it though. Can here anyone elaborate a bit on their thoughts about the album?

sure boss

...

Yo I wanna see a 10

do Hendrix, Piper, or Van Morrison soon

you don't know herb kid well, do you?
although he may like Van Morrison, I doubt he would give him a 10/10

Just throwing a few darts, hoping one of them will hit

I doubt he'd give anything a 10 from that chart, but I could be wrong

>Shrek 2
Good man

too late for that, already rated the doors :{}

It's his best work, and that album is legit good.
The problem with kottke is it's pretty much all glitz and glamour without much emotion or ingenuity behind it.
He's extremely technically skilled but you won't find any of the raw passion that you could in Basho's work, or any of the expansive raga style melody exploration in much of Fahey's.
It'll become more apparent as you go further into his catalog.
Also I always find the production and his tone to be a bit too sterile for my taste

pretty much nailed it. I like the album but I'd rather listen to Basho.

How is he so based?

he comes pretty high in my top 10 of jazz pianists so I agree, he is based

what's the list? any lesser known pianists that are worth my time?

no lesser names, sorry. Most of them are the pretty big ones.
If you want to take a look and suggest anyone tho: rateyourmusic.com/list/JackAnderson94/straight__no_chasers__my_favorite_jazz_piano_players/

Yo, s/t is like an 8 at best. There's a lot of dating holding it back--maz's keyboards are amazing but cheesy, dedicated hard-panning of instruments is always wack, the general blues rock aesthetic is hokey

It's still great, all the songs are at least good, but it's no 10
obvious racist answer

he just can't help it

tho he has some weak spots in his discog

it's just that he has 0 weak spots in his playing, truly flawlesss

i kinda wish he had gone full experimental in his late period

Two extremes of the spectrum here, both very good specimens of their respective genre

Three Mile Pilot - Chief Assassin to the Sinister
Very cool, unique approach to the whole indie rock thing, kinda reminds me of Slint, or perhaps closer... Rodan... Post Feelist you lovable rouge were you paying attention to my posts this thread?
the first track blew my fucking mind'

Anaal Nathrak - Hell is Empty, the Devils are Here
really fun Grindcore/Black Metal, which is not a thing that you can say about a lot of enjoyable metal, it's really dumb and cheesy but you can't help but love it all the same, Plus it fuckin rips

both yall, Post-Feelist and nyarl need to rec an EP for me to shit on

>Junko - Sleeping Beauty
My only interaction with Junko previously was her work in Hijokaidan on last year’s Noise Join Inn, of which I was not a fan. It was just boring noise too me. I think I quickly recede into this mindset while listening to multi-faceted, many-membered noise works. There’s just a lot to take in, and it’s just too overwhelming. Often the noise feels pointless, and lacks bite to me (not a hard rule, just a common observation obviously). Solo noise though, I can really get behind—it can be far more raw and abrasive than any ol’ wall of sound. And so, Junko.

In an apparently hilarious disconnect between title and content, Junko’s Sleeping Beauty is not at all peaceful, or beautiful. Well, the beauty… maybe in some bizarre way—it’s just understandably difficult to call screaming beautiful. It certainly has nothing to do with sleeping though.

The album is just two tracks, “Forward” and “Backward”, each 14 minutes and 38 seconds. “Forward” is harsh, violent screaming, piercing down to the bones—it’s just Junko screaming her heart out through her lungs, occasionally capped with blips of static, little frags of clipping-induced distortion. “Backward” is seemingly the exact same track played backwards. Not much else to it. The first track is really powerful, and when you think about it, fairly impressive. (Admittedly the best part of the track is the first few minutes. Those are the most jarring and ear-splitting, while the vocalist tires a bit as the track progresses.) Like, it’s constant vocal chord-shredding screaming, really acute frequencies n’ shit, for nearly 15 minutes. I know I wouldn’t be able to keep that up for even five minutes. It’s got a lot of bite too, reminds me of the sparse, scraping sharpness that Solo Violin Improvisations occasionally reaches—a quality I really enjoy in harsh free improv records. It cuts deep and fast. It’s truly crazed music.

>cont.

I feel like listening to the same track in reverse on “Backward” isn’t nearly as exciting, and if side A reminds me of Polly Bradfield, side B reminds me of Maja S. K. Ratkje’s Voice, where she masks the rawness of her voice with additive noisy electronic distortion. There’s no distortion on this album, but the backtracking on this second track gives it a weird feeling—it feels more processed, and the rawness of the voice, so guttural on the first track, is greatly diminished. Maybe the element of surprise is gone? Probably not it—the first track still bangs with repeated listens.

So I guess in a way, this is a single? I’m pretty much rating this off the first track. I’m kind of surprising myself with this rating. Still confused about the title, unless it’s supposed to be funny.
>7/10, probably 5/10 if weighted equally

hey those dubs are pretty good

Anyone know / has some source on Kim Gordon releasing an album? This single thingy is fucking delicious.

I hope she releases an LP this year

thank

i try

...

i just said what i like the most on that chart, don't speak numbers to me :/

thanks asshole, my boss just fired me

Shots fired

Korn - Korn
I mean, Johnothan Davis scat is silly, and to some degree I dig the shit out of it, but I don't think I'll ever be able to take them seriously, it's a big ol meme
G'dang g'dang g'dang g'dang g'danga

Ulcerate - Everything is Fire
I notice a clear rise and fall dynamic to everything here in that it rises and falls in intensity, it's kinda subtle but on the comedown becomes apparent... There's a great deal of tonal variation on this thing
I can get around it

thanks asshole, my neighbor just saw this and tore his eyes out and started a fire in my living room, now I have a big ol mess to clean up and a body to hide

thanks mom

>Masayoshi Takanaka - The Rainbow Goblins
God, this is everything I could hate in an album, in one album. It’s this pretentious, proggy ordeal that oscillates between faux-orchestral chamber pop and the cheesiest jazz fusion you can imagine. It’s sickeningly slick, and get this—actually an intermittently-narrated story about the valley of the rainbow and seven color-coordinated goblins.

I didn’t actually make it to the end of the album to hear if the story resolves or what the goblins were actually doing. I just don’t care enough to hear more tracks like “Seven Goblins” with its annoying rubber duck squeak-sounding gimmick, or the jazzy, or “Thunderstorm” actually-light-as-a-feather hard rock, or “Rising Arch” with its gentle fluttering triangle noises and harp playing. And God—give me the strength—if I have to hear the narrator’s limp-noodle smooth voice one more time…
>2/10
>Should not being able to make it through an album automatically qualify it for 1/10 status, or should I cover for that meager uncertainty with 2/10?

also yes it's no 10 for you or me but could be a 10 to someone depending on their preferences when it comes to cheesiness, wackness and also hockey
