Help me make a bigger chart to get more people into this genre. I mostly included dancier cuts rather than more experimental albums like Vanity Records albums, Esplendor Geometrico or Monoton. You guys do listen to this music...right?
MINIMAL WAVE/MINIMAL SYNTH
What's the difference between the two?
Not much really, but some people prefer to call less poppy minimal albums Minimal Synth.
wave is just a retrospective term assigned to synthpop/synth-heavy post-punk music that was stripped-down or sparse compared to other works in the genre, minimal synth takes that to the extreme and eschews things like complexity in songwriting or structure in favor of pure synth
any good minimal releases this year? i've been looking through a lot of EPs and couldn't find anything that great
The same here, I have a collection and all but I don't have any active artists to follow
OP here, same here, last year's November Novelet was good but I haven't found anything memorable this year.
End Of Data - Sahrah
Ensemble Pittoresque - For This Is Past
Dark Day - Exterminating Angel and Window
Damon Edge - The Wind Is Talking
Steven Grandell - Animal Angst (essential)
Nun s/t
And you should probably throw in Suicide s/t for good measure
Oppenheimer Analysis - New Mexico
The Units - Digital Stimulation
Picky Picnic - Picnic Land
Laurie Anderson - Big Science
Suicide - s/t
Dark Day - Window
Martin Rev - s/t?
with the suicide suggestions it might not be a bad idea to throw in a soft cell album since they basically started as a suicide tribute band
their first EP, non-stop erotic, or (preferably) this last night in sodom would be good picks
>November Novelet
I really can't take them serious after seeing their videos
Needs fireside favorites, the objectively best minimal wave/synth album next to suicide
good on you for having flesh on there
What's the best entry-level album for minimal wave? Pretty much anything on OP's chart?
You could start with the Andie Oppenheimer or The Minimal Tapes in OP's chart (both amazing), or if you're generally unfamiliar with synth music then start with:
>Suicide - Suicide
>Fad Gadget - Fireside Favorites
>The Human League - Reproduction
If you're into the sound it's really rewarding to get into, it's a surprisingly prolific genre and a lot of releases are really consistently good aesthetically + sonically
I'd say space museum or new mexico.
Wow real neat entry level middling dross there OP cool it's cool to make useless charts cool
what would you suggest instead of being a faggot then, he literally says in the OP that he purposefully chose dancier release
Thank you both, I'll have a listen soon
Piss off you cunt. At least he's doing something good.
Suicide is more Synthpunk than Minimal Wave imo
>faggot
>good
If HTRK and Tropic of Cancer are my only exposures to minimal wave, should I try the OP stuff out?
t. embryo
This shit's not really too similar to HTRK, and it sounds cheaper and sparser than Tropic of Cancer, but check it out you might like it.
tropic of cancer alone should have you set, yeah
ty senpai :)
fuck off
htrk is the logical conclusion to those two
best band out right now
lmaoing at that shit opinion
bump
its true and you know it
post better bands or shuddup faggot
I know this doesn't get called Minimal Wave very often, but it is.
literally any single band out there is better fucker
i've wated too much time on your retarded ass already
