haven't heard anything exciting lately...

what made you vibrate recently?
i'm talking about recent releases (say 1 year old maximum), in any style.

hi there,

i got no idea if you'd be into this stuff or not, but its what i've stumbled across over the last year or so:

hala strana (traditional eastern european influenced stuff with field recordings and drones)
six organs of admittance - school of the flower (i think its called that)
tisane and redTHumbs - ambient improvised dub stuff from paris.

if anyone got any recomendations similar to this sort of stuff give me a shout

cheers

It may not have been produced in the last year - but it is new to me.

Alio Die

sounds like loops of string players all overlapping to create interesting timesignatures ..

they sound like an ambient Steve Reich meeting Dead can Dance.

This first track on this radio show gave me the goosebumbs.
Don't know who made it. But i would sure like to buy it.

I found Danny Hyde on here (this forum). A bit of a genius he is me thinks.

he's got an album just completed called 'Aural Rage' http://www.auralrage.com/

Im not th ebiggest fan of experimental but this guy has something different to what my (probably) untrained ear hears in this genre..

Check it out

I would like to second the vote for Alio Die. I recently discovered a few of his ambient works that are quite blissful. My recently released album had a lot of inspiration from drifting ambient artists like him, Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Kammarheit, etc. In addition to my normal diet of ambient, I recently discovered post-rock and shoegazer music such as Godspeed You Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky. I really enjoy this type of music, and it goes well with my ambient collection.

Pure pop from Lebanon. Love the beats. I have no idea what she's singing about... probably not much:)

most anything from the Asian and African section of www.worldmusic.net

plus a bit of British hiphop - Roots Manuva, Jehst, and TY

Nothing to add but liked these ones from above:

'Aural Rage' http://www.auralrage.com/ (sounds intelligent!)
http://www.nawalalzoghbi.net/ (the string sections fel like in unother room - but makes my spirit soft in some sense)

LCD Soundsystem (no surprises there)
The excellent Optimo included a track by Nouvelle Vague on their How To Kill The DJ mix album. It's a kind of loungey jazz version of Guns Of Brixton by The Clash. I know what you're thinking... but it's amazing. NV have apparently recorded a whole bunch of punk and new wave songs inna jazz stylee using vocalists who are too young to remember the originals. Joy Division - LWTUP, DK - Too Drunk To Fork (sp), and many many more.
Not forgetting the totally out there Miss Bjork - Medulla is just awesome.
Allo Die sounds great - will check it out.
Oh and if you want a great mix CD try Swayzak Fabric 11 or Adam Freeland Fabric 17.

The UK release of the new Nine Inch Nails album has me vibrating pretty hard.
even chopped up some of the beats from one of the bonus tracks and used them in my live set in san diego last weekend.

Tony Rohr's been playing me some stellar stuff as well.. i hope it sees release.
