EDIT: Goddamnit, I thought Titus Andronicus had a new album.

They do, it's called The Monitor. Nowhere near as good as the first abum, but worth a listen. If you're too lazy to Google it, or it it's nowhere to be found on teh internetz, then let me know and I'll upload it for you.

[David_Dovey]

I think he meant newer than that even. (they do have a split 7" with Free Energy out in the past couple o' months, it's in this thread. But that's only one song)

I wish that the Blockhead music was as good as that music video.

This is all kinds of incorrect; The Monitor is a pretty fucking great album.  It's not quite as easy to listen to in one sitting as Airing because it's so long, but the whole thing is an epic study of how America is different as a result of the Civil War and where it puts us in modern day.  It's pretty badass and definitely recommended.

Yes. The Monitor really has to be taken as a whole because otherwise you're completely missing the point of it. In defense and criticism of it (The Monitor), it really is just one long and ostensibly repetitive song (think Music for 18 Musicians but 1,000,000x more rock).

[vickster]

The Monitor is one of my favorite albums of 2010.  Highly recommended.

[mb7654]

I saw Titus in what amounts to a garage on Halloween. The show was totally incoherent - songs blended into each other (I think) and the whole thing was really chaotic. BUT - that somehow made it all the more fun. Like the time I saw Genghis Tron and they played their entire set without stopping between songs.

[TheClickOfALight]

When I saw Titus in Vancouver they were nicely chaotic, like you said, but then they had a go at the audience for drinking beer or something, very odd. They're not straightedge are they?
And don't get me wrong guys, I like The Monitor - all I'm saying is that it's not as immediate, as fresh, as their debut.

[wildfire]

So I'm a bit of a newbee when it comes to uploading stuff and that sort, but I've downloaded a couple albums from this forum and thought I'd give something back and figure out how to upload stuff at the same time. Anyways, thought I'd share some nice laid back Belgian pop.

Anworth Kirk - Anworth Kirk

There is apparently a tracklisting... But there are no clean breaks on either side so I'm uncomfortable with deciding where to cut them up. As they are they're just two sides, 15~ minutes each. Anyway, this is Caretaker-y ambient stuff, which is to say that it is not drone-based but sample-based, unlike most of the stuff I put up. Got it on the strength of the Demdike Stare connection.

*First release on this new archival label loosely associated with Demdike Stare and the Finders Keepers crew* Pre-Cert Home Entertainment is a new imprint releasing limited vinyl artifacts of contemporary musical and non-musical material dredged from the collections of a number of hugely respected culture vultures in the north of England. Their obsessive tendencies are channeled into this debut release, a 22 minute collage of acousmatic oddities reclaimed from the ditches of VHS video culture, the dustiest corners of the record racks and places most folk won't allow themselves or their children to go. It's a tribute to the immersive and escapist effect of obscure and exotic film soundtracks and banks of library records, European fumetti and obscure sources which feed into their fabric and enhance their psychedelic potential. We can hear precedents for this aesthetic in the cutups of Position Normal and People Like Us or the surreal melodrama of V/Vm's Twin Peaks tribute 'There Was A Fish In the Percolator', but this particular side is more concerned with the noirish ambient hues, moods and textures which reflect the industrial landscape of its local history. The semi-fictitious protagonist Anworth Kirk melds influence from Letterist poetry to tape loops, found-sound and European folklore in a wonderfully uncertain and unpredictable manner, creating an esoteric narrative between the 12 segued tracks presented in two chapters. The vinyl plays at 45rpm - a nod to late period Indian horror soundtracks - and the artwork depicts a cryptic theme set to unravel and complicate in further episodes, including the forthcoming Samhain Slant Azimuth seasonal sound-collage mix. Limited to 500 copies - highly recommended.

TMSV - Signal / Cold

Dread dubstep from Dutch producer, TMSV, following Synkro and DBridge's lead with the 2nd drop on Box Clever Records. At the risk of stereotyping, we're massively reminded of fellow Dutch producers Icicle or even Funckarma on 'Signal'. Maybe it's the clinically skeletal production, or the use of Bubbling-style stuttered syncopation (also reminding of TRG's 'Tower Block), but there's definitely a recognisble similarity in their sounds and arrangement. On the flip you get the submerged dreadnaught riddim 'Cold', again churning out super powerful Icicle stye subs, but with more sparing use of percussion and blank, stoic atmospherics. One fe di Youngsta types. Keep an ear on this fella!

Cosey Fanni Tutti & Phillipe Petit - Mist While Sleeping / Invisible Whispers

Just as chilling as a Cosey Fanni Tutti record's gotta be.

Following Dirter's release of 'Fiends With A Face' from sometime Bad Seed, James Johnston, and "musical travel agent" Philippe Petit ov the BiP_HOp label, they deliver a terrifically dark collaboration between Petit and TG's Cosey Fanni Tutti. Both the tracks were apparently recorded some time ago, initially intended as tools for Petit's live shows using turntables. With time and usage the record's surface degraded, altering the the sound within. The label have now copied and repressed these worn plates to reveal two tracks which sound like Coil's worst nightmares produced by the Caretaker. These tracks sound incredibly dark and peculiar, harbouring a harrowing side of sighing strings and falsetto vocals in 'Mist While Sleeping', backed with a symphonic swell of matured shellac and strings in the stunning 'Invisible Whispers'. Make no mistake, this is a record to get quite giddy about. Copies are limited to 350 for the world, and if you sleep on it they'll send Genesis round your house at 4 in the morning to give you a makeover. Highly recommended!

Nurse With Wound - Huffin' Rag Blues

Ripped from the navy blue vinyl. D-side was a laser-etched panoply of doodles, political cartoons, and snippets of scathing reviews of the record. If you've ever enjoyed a Captain Beefheart album you'll probably have at least a chance of enjoying this.

**Double LP on blue vinyl with laser etching on the D-side - Alternate mix to the CD edition** Another spectacular torrent of Dadaist experimental exotica from Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles, with a suitably scattershot list of contributors and collaborators, including repeat offender Colin Potter (credited with "testicular randomisation") and a host of 'proper' musicians and vocalists prepared to undergo the NWW treatment. As with the companion release to this album, The Bacteria Magnet, Nurse With Wound are currently set on a creative trajectory that dismantles the auditory iconography of the fifties, marauding through eerie re-renderings of jazz club instrumentals, electroacoustic traffic sounds and skewed torch songs. As NWW albums go, this is probably among the more outwardly approachable releases, but in fact it's the very proximity to the language of pop music that makes Huffin' Rag Blues all the more subversive - subtly yet horrifically carving up and perverting lounge music like an auditory David Lynch on 'Thrill Of Romance..?', and layering distressed animal recordings on top of one another, sounding like Chris Watson at Papa Lazarou's circus during 'The Funktion Of The Hairy Egg'.

Electro-acoustics yaaay

Miguel Gil Tertre's first release for City Centre Offices is a perfect example of how important it is these days to open up the studio for sounds not created electronically. The "Viet E.P." melts Strand's digital universe with ideas and sounds from his friends and collaborators playing guitar, flügelhorn, trumpet, violin, drums and the addictive singing of Paloma Sosa. Deep and haunting athmospheric melodies meet precise, kicking beats meet chopped up samples meet the liberating sounds of acoustic instruments. Special...

McCarthy - The Enraged Will Inherit The Earth

Coming off the back of the controversial single Should the Bible Be Banned -- actually a song against censorship rather than religion -- McCarthy continued their sugar-sweet anarcho-pop campaign. This album is slicker produced than its predecessor, I Am a Wallet, but is in much the same vein with jangly guitars, great pop drumming, and Malcolm Eden's less-than-powerful vocals. Tim Gane's search for the perfect pop tune leads to greater invention in both music and tempo, particularly in the tirade against endless love songs "Boy Meets Girl So What." Most controversial, and also a single, is "I'm Not a Patriot But," which contrasts British left-wing support for Sandanista with the condemnation for the IRA. Enraged Will Inherit the Earth's sales ensured that McCarthy remained at the heart of 1980s indie pop.

LCD Soundsystem - London Sessions (2010) (320kbps)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?sk7c70kw2o52ar6

the london sessions is a unique ‘john peel session style’ 9 trk encapsulation of one of today’s most acclaimed acts in perhaps their rawest and most original recordings to date.

the session itself was recorded in one day at the pool/miloco studios in south london on june 29th 2010, in the week following this year’s triumphant glastonbury performance. it was locked in order to record tracks for dissemination across the globe through the medium of contemporary rock radio; fans of lcd soundsystem will know that radio sessions are something that have never been a staple of the band’s career thus far because of the belief in the necessity to maintain the highest quality of all sonic recordings released into the ether.

the set which spans the breadth of their career to date, perfectly captures the intuitive live evolvement of lcd as a band. here nothing is replicated with computers, everything instead is recreated in real time, tougher, looser and less clinically. It features tracks from all of their studio albums to date, as well as long lost b-side classic ‘yr city’s a sucker’ and is a must for any fan of the band. the tracks were subsequently mixed by james murphy in nyc at dfa’s plantain studio & mastered by his longtime cohort bob weston in chicago.

ASC - Certainties EP

Autonomic-style (read: Cold and quantized techstep) slo-mo DnB from ASC. Better than his more conventionally DnB stuff on his Nonplus and previous Auxilary release. If you know and like dBridge, this one is a good stepping stone.

Fine four-tracker of twitching, glitchy D&B/electronica, the first release on his self-curated Auxiliary imprint. The twisting metallic deflections of 'Reality Check' opens the A-side, before expanding into luscious widescreen synth pads for a proper techy treat. 'Spectrum' follows with a lightfooted halfstep rhythm suspended in a matrix of Eastern-tuned synth washes. On the other side 'Metronomic' is a very crafty rhythm experiment flitting between a broad palette of drum sounds arranged in quicksilver concatenations while 'Autoreceptor' tips out into motive electro territory akin to his peer, dBridge.

Police officer Woo Bum Kon of South Korea has the current high score in MOST PEOPLE MURDERED IN A KILLING SPREE…with a grand total of FIFTY SEVEN. yep. thats including himself (in case you’re curious: after mowing down random innocent people with a machine gun for a few hours, he pulled the pins on grenades and didn’t let go. talk about going out with a bang!). Experts say he was having a pretty bad day.

A 5-song 7” came out in 1983 and somehow the other 20 (WHAT THE FUCK!?) songs never made it to vinyl at any point in the future…until 2008. I’m only going to say this once: you haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave to have this. this is perfect. This is Damaged, this is Out of Step, this is Group Sex.

Concern - Truth & Distance

Another heart-stopping debut brought to you by the increasingly inspired Digitalis imprint, Concern is the recording project of Gordon Ashworth who in a previous incarnation (as Oscillating Innards) delivered an altogether more brutal take on experimental music before planting his feet firmly in the world of shimmering, layered drones. The first thing to hit you about this amazing album is the custom-designed silkscreened gatefold sleeve it comes in, one of those packages that has you flipping it inside out in wonder, a fitting precursor to the music itself which is just nothing short of immense. Despite the heavily processed sound of this material, the three long tracks here (clocking in at a total of 30 minutes) were constructed almost entirely out of acoustic instrumentation, with the opening piece gradually building from a frayed field recording into a colossal hum of dense, layered drone that just seems to expand and develop without any perceptible change. It's inspiring, deceptively visceral stuff. Next up - 'Young Birth' begins along a similar trajectory but soon curls up into into an incubated assembly of disentangled instruments, before the epic closing "Heratsink" proceeds to completely obliterate the vast majority of what passes for contemporary Drone with a colossal shimmer that sounds like Tim Hecker reconfiguring classic Raga structures into something almost unspeakably beautiful. Amazing music, strictly strictly limited styles so act fast!

Expo 70 - Where Does Your Mind Go?

It's hard to believe, but someone made a drone/ nu-kosmische record in 2010.

**1st pressing limited to 500 copies, pressed at RTI. Includes mp3 download coupon redeemable directly from the label** An utterly absorbing and time-dilating double LP of masterful synth music from one of the scene's most prolific and respected sons, Expo 70 aka Justin Wright, together with Matt Hill - who recently dropped that brilliant Umberto album on Not Not Fun. Aiming a few notches above the reams of DIY tape spools, 'Where Does Your Mind Go?' was recorded professionally at the studio of Jason Meagher (No Neck Blues Band) in upstate New York over the course of one evening and features production values worthy of the D&M vinyl cut and full-colour, tip-on gatefold sleeve. The four tracks total 74 minutes of the most delicious drone and intangibly hazy harmonics, occasionally punctuated with burbling machine rhythms and steered with a deeply assured set of cosmic instincts. The scale of 'Where does your mind go?' is just epic, each track as majestic and cinematic as the last. The opener 'Close Your Eyes And Effortlessly Drift Away' sails out on gently bobbing drum machine and cirrus strands of Göttsching-esque guitar, like the soundtrack to Martian Balearic beach holiday where the atmosphere is as dusty red-brown as the hues of his arcing synths. 'Night Dusting The Atmosphere' is more sci-fi cinematic, full of sustained string-filled trepidation and encroaching arpeggiations arranged with the overarching vision of a Klaus Schulze classic. 'Transgressing Outward Which Is Inward' is probably the most stirring, passionate piece largely due to the darkly romantic keys which fall somewhere between the wanderings of Roedelius and Terry Riley and in harmony with towering forcefields of vintage analogue synthesizer tones. 'Ancient Hawk Soul Takes Flight' is the transgressive and psychedelic closer, lost deep in a black hole of tonal blurs and still-but-moving drones. We couldn't really recommend this any higher to fans of Imaginary Softwoods, Arp, Oneohtrix Point Never's most untethered moments, or taking lots of drugs by yourself and lying down between two massive speakers.

Livelier than usual techno/step hybridism. Pretty compelling!

Two sterling dancefloor sweeteners from Dave Huismans aka 2562, operating in A Made Up Sound mode. With 'Rear Window' he delivers one of the best tracks on Delsin this year, rolling out a kinked 4/4 rhythm synced with swollen subs and trademark melnacholy chord progressions. Of course the devil is firmly in the detail, which will become clearly apparent when this is deployed on a big rig. Killer tune!

Apparat / Telefon Tel Aviv - Sayulita EP

Collecting the exclusive tracks from Sascha Ring's new DJ Kicks compilation, this EP brings you unmixed versions of both Apparat cuts, plus the previously unreleased Telefon Tel Aviv contribution. 'Sayulita' is typically clinical in its pristine, spacious production, but the chiming guitar melodies give the track a driving, emotional edge that takes the track beyond the confines of a dancefloor-focused mindset. 'Circles' is less beat-oriented, instead treading into Four Tet territory with its spiralling string plucks; otherworldly vocals and scrappy percussion join in too, making the piece all the more abstract. Telefon Tel Aviv are in great form for 'Lengthening Shadows'; its undoubtedly cut from a similar cloth to Apparat's work, shaping crystalline electronics around a kind of vapourised song structure - when it all comes together it all sounds pretty massive.

Silicon Scally - Process Remixes

Classic electro, a bit darker and less excitable than the Matt Whitehead and Mullet Records releases in the last few weeks.

t's been a long while since we've heard from Carl Finlow, and although this new EP from Cultivated Electronics doesnt actually feature any new work from the great man himself, its good to get a little reminder of what it is he does so well. On remix duties are two of Finlow's musical disciples - Sync 24 and Morphology, who treat the original material with all the care you'd expect, delivering a flawlessly produced machine funk double-header you'd be well advised to check if you're a follower of Andrea Parker's Touchin' Bass crew or, indeed, Finlow himself.

Speaking of Mullet Records, their latest is a completely stone-faced throwback to the yacht rock / smooth electrofunk of old.

"You've Got the Look" is like Synkronized-era Jamiroquai + a talkbox, with all the greatness that entails, but the title track is an endless faux-"Roxanne" ripoff.

We've looked into that.  We can really only hide a whole forum at once.  I can take a look around for SMF add-ons though, or we could move this thing into Pony debates with a redirect in here that only has the current title and nothing to do with MF.

Haha no, I think that would be crossing a line.

Although if I was to set it up it'd probably be called "Oink oink, wink wink"
