He "reworked" a Sonic Youth album? I've only listened to a bit of Future but that's not exactly something I would have ever predicted.

Yeah I got that. It's just strange to think of a rapper, a mumble rapper no less, doing something with an entire Sonic Youth album. Imma have to check that out.

Yeah, I really liked how he reworked SY's classic 'Xanny Family' for a more modern audience.

INSIGHT II
Album by Julien Marchal

I love the album cover. I also love how the music is recorded. It’s neo-classical new age solo piano and it’s recorded in such a way that you can really hear the keys squeak. It gets into the percussive side on the instrument and creates a glitchlike effect. It draws you into the mechanical process of the performance. If you’re into this type of music I recommend this highly. Like if you like Library Tapes and that kind of stuff.

A Boat Upon Its Blood
Album by Jason Sharp

Antediluvians beware. The title’s gonna have your balls tingling. It exceeds it all. Abso****inglutely fan****ingtastic for 38 minutes of glorious fluxus style free jazz drone.

If you want to a hear what Simon & Garfunkel would sound like if they weren’t talented check out Jake Bugg.

Tone Science
Album by Ian Boddy

https://www.soundonsound.com/news/tone-science

Quote:

Taking his inspiration from the random qualities of natural phenomena such as streams, waves and the leaves on a tree, the soundscapes of Tone Science use controlled random systems that self-generate the music using only analogue modular gear. The pitches of the notes in each piece have been massaged into various musical scales by the use of note quantisers, giving each of the tracks a distinct harmonic voice.

Not sure if he’s trying to **** with my hostile thoughts or not. It’s experimental and drone but not exactly dark. And that’s for the best in my book. Too much darkness gets too bright with clarity of purpose. Darkness is being lost. The random Soviet: ambiguous- lacking direction- cold - no fuel to building a fire - but not too cold - just whatever-

Tone Science as if it’s a right to remain in silence the liberty not the first to the world that doesnyhujk - the liberty of disbelief

Coastal Railroads In Memories
Album by Chihei Hatakeyama

This is one of my faves of 2016. I know there’s an onus on me to say why. The drones hit a sweet spot. I like the way my brain feels when I listen to this one. There’s an ineffable rightness about it

Let's Take A Trip
Album by Tall Black Guy

https://tallblackguy.bandcamp.com/al...ts-take-a-trip

Heavily and openly influenced by Eric B. & Rakim Let’s Take a Trip successfully takes the listener on a “journey into sound”. FYI, if you care to source the sample here you are:

Jazz offered American black folks everything they needed for self-liberation. It didn’t help many. White intellectuals appropriated the liberation. Psychological freedom from the trappings of oppression is ****ing right there. I’m not saying no black people took it but the minds that were freed were mostly “white not black/you might not believe it but it is like that”. As soon as hip hop had clearly placed itself as the most important artistic movement of the late 20th century it became a modern day minstrel show for suburban whites whose nuts tingled at the sounds of black on black violence. Google Spike Lee’s thoughts on it. He’s right.

Tall Black Guy refuses to be a n igger however the **** you want to spell it. He’s not the only one. Not the first; not the best- but damn good. This record is really damn good.

And I will admit this: If this was popular enough to challenge the current hip hop power structure I would be picking at it instead of celebrating it because I’m a white piece of **** and I get huffy when my balls aren’t being powdered by a generation of hip hop artists that are dying younger than ever. I’m not sure why. I’m not profiting off their “white power sneakers” or their prison time. I put my entertainment above any principle. They keep feeding me, too. If I wasn’t so sick (literally) I’d change my diet. Well, considering I probably listen to 20 jazz records per one hip hop record my diet isn’t so bad actually. It’s just that it’s going to take another full on revolution for black music to redeem itself politically. Very well-done retro vibes aren’t enough.
