Chorus.fm Record of the Week Club • Page 54

I really like Nicolas Jaar but I don't think I've ever listened to his Against All Logic project. Looking forward to it.

 

Hell yeah

 

Oh fuuuuck yeah. Love this record. Shouts Sophos for introducing me to Space is Only Noise around when it came out. Nico's Darkside project with Dave Harrington is great too - and Harrington is putting out a ton of experimental/jazz stuff lately as well. Oh and playing in a jam band lol.

 

Thanks everyone for giving the Kathleen Edwards record a listen. Glad so many of you seemed to enjoy it.

Failer is definitely the other essential record of hers, but all her stuff is worth a listen if you enjoyed this. My next favorite after that is probably Total Freedom, which is actually the follow up to Voyageur, even though it came out eight years later.

 

Did we lose @angrycandy? Miss your contributions

also honestly glad that this breaks a little over an hour. I appreciate everyone being thoughtful with picking shorter albums but I’ve been wanting something to sink my teeth into, to immerse myself in. After all this seems like the thread to share longer, perhaps more challenging—but equally interesting—stuff that lends itself to discussion.

 

I think I’m out tbh

plan to rec one more album and let that be it for my contributions

 

@angrycandy Do come back whenever you want, dude. One of the best posters on the whole forum.

 

Clicking play now

 

This is a lot of fun. Such a Bad Way is infectious.

 

i worked all weekend, just saw this, and no i do not.

 

This Against All Logic album started off a bit rocky for me but it really got going as it went on. Pretty great stuff on here. Think the early standouts for me are Know You and the last 4 tracks

 

agreed, the last few tracks are dope and very funky

 

I’m not super into house (is that what this is?) but I agree, some good grooves on this. I also really like the album art

 

also not super knowledgable with dance genres but house sounds right. I personally am more into the weird, textural shit when it comes to non-ambient electronic/“dance” music - IDM, dub, some techno, 80-90s shit etc- but I enjoy a little bit of everything. the samples on this are fun and it put me in a good mood.

some older fantastic "house" albums worth your time

 

I dig this

 

This style of dance music has never been my thing, so this album isn't really hitting for me, unfortunately. The electronic stuff I've enjoyed tends to be more in the ambient or experimental areas.

This isn't unpleasant by any means, just not something I'll probably jump to return to.

 

This was a relisten for me but it'd been a while, this isn't a kind of music I actively seek out but I feel like Nicolas Jaar really does make an enjoyable version of it (head-bobbing dance music is what I'm gonna call it). I might also be a little biased because I like his solo non-AAL stuff too, which might be more your jam @troyplaysbass

 

It's really well put together — like genuinely impressive how well he forms that tapestry from the array of sample fabrics. I'm not entranced by it after multiple listens although I wouldn't be surprised if I were to revisit and suddenly find I was.

Cenizas is my favourite of his solo works; a beautiful abyss.

 

I want to give this another listen. The only time I was able to listen was in background while I was focusing on some other tasks. It kept me in the zone though and I never wanted to skip anything.

 

Finally going to catch up on the last couple today. @ghostedaway is up!

 

Oh cool. Sorry I’m on a weekend trip or I would have posted sooner. In honor of Halloween next week I’m going with Siouxsie and the Banshees - Juju!

 

Hellllll yeah

 

great pick

great album

 

To my great shame I don't know if I've ever sat down and listened to this one all the way through, excited to get seasonally appropriate over here

 

Under 60 degrees and overcast here, so I think it's a perfect day to spin this one
