The Fennesz and Tim Hecker boner-time thread

(1/2) > >>

Caspian:
Man, are these guys freaking amazing or what? I've been thrashing Harmony in Ultraviolet and Endless Summer for a while now, just completely fucking awesome.These guys do probably the most interesting ambient/drone I've heard, yet there's still the whole hypnosis/state of otherworldly bliss. Hecker and Fennesz: I would kill a few people to see them collaborate.

Anyway, this thread is dedicated to those two, and the general awesomeness that is laptop/glitch/whatever ambient when it's done right.

TheFuriousWombat:
AH, both are wonderful. Tim Hecker's recent collaboration with Aidan Baker was brilliant, very dark and very scary. Hecker is great in general though (even if the latest left me a tad cold compared to some earlier stuff). Fennesz I like a lot too but am a bit less familiar with. For my money, solo ambient projects don't get much better than Eluvium, however.

Kai:
I would once again second the recommendation of Mezzotint by Chris Herbert. It's a jarring, beautiful little record. Listening to it sort of feels like walking through alleys of abandoned cities, where you can hear faint murmurs of helicopters in the distance and the wind and sea are crashing together on the walls and windows so very subtly. Marvelous.

Tim Hecker is great as well. I haven't listened to Fennesz before, however, although if he's anything like these two, I'm sure I'll enjoy it just fine. Any specific album [we] should listen to first?

When eluvium sticks to his loop pedals and guitars he's amazing, I don't really rate Copia very high, though.

Kai: endless summer is generally considered to be his best record.

michaelicious:
Hey cool I was just gonna start a drone/ambient thread because I have only recently started to explore the genre seriously, so now I've got some more stuff to add to my list of artists to check out.

I think I like Eluvium best so far. Talk Amongst the Trees makes the world feel like it should be moving in slow motion.
