As the title says, what music is everyone listening to? Genres, artists, etc… What’s in your album collection? Not necessarily just Rack stuff, but other stuff too.
I’ll start with some of my favourite artists:
~Jean-Michel Jarre, a classic in the electronic world. My favourite track of his has to be “Last Rendez-Vous” partly because of the amazing Sop Sax, but also because of its now commemorative status for the Challenger Space Shuttle and crew
~Oolluu, an amazing proggy electronic trio
~Switched on rack, of course
~Elaine Walker/ZIA, I’m a real fan of the microtonal stuff
Today, I’ve had Daughters’ latest album on repeat. I wasn’t familiar with these guys at all before hearing this record, but it’s a really compelling mixture of hardcore, metal, industrial rock, and noise rock. It’s pushing all the right buttons for me right now; I’ll eventually go check out their earlier stuff.
In general though, I’ve played Autechre’s NTS Sessions 1-4 — in whole or in part — at least once per day since it was first aired earlier this year. I almost wish I was exaggerating. It’s not quite yet my favorite album of all time, because that honor still belongs to Scott Walker’s Bish Bosch at the moment, but I’ve got a pretty seriously unhealthy obsession with it. It’s one of the very few albums that makes me feel inspired to create when I listen to it, but also too invested in the listen to actually stop it and work on my own music.
I’ll try to keep it somewhat short, it’s almost too easy to ramble on ;).
The past two-three years I’ve gotten into black/doom/sludge/stoner metal. The most recent band I’ve bought stuff from is a Polish band called Mgła. Besides them I like Cult of Occult, Primitive Man, Bongripper, etc.
I also enjoy techno, especially released on the Swedish label offworldcolonies ltd. There are of course a whole heap of acts I could list but Aphex Twin is usually the first one. And Venetian Snares, although that’s not techno ;).
Am Not makes wonderful PE/industrial, as does Iron Fist of the Sun. And speaking of the sun, Sunn O))) are amazing.
Even though their last two-three albums weren’t to my liking I still really enjoy the early Death Grips.
Manily Progressive rock from now and the 70’s… but right now I can’t stop listening the last album "All Melody) from Nils Frahm, quite inspiring to transpose in the modular world
Soused is also excellent, and the fact that it exists at all is pretty amazing. It was actually that collaboration that introduced me to Scott Walker, since I’ve been following Sunn’s output for much longer. To me, Bish Bosch just has the better…songs? sounds? tracks? recordings? Hard to put some of that stuff into rigid musical terms.
If anyone knows of “heavy” music from this week’s country - Vietnam - (and it doesn’t have to be metal, could be heavy beats, heavy emotional content, heavy drone, etcetcetc), lemme know!

Home music collection is mostly 70’s lps, cd. including releases from Edgar Frose pre-TG
ive always respected Richard Devine as a sound designer and synthesist, but his music has not really been something I would listen to attentively. this album has been an exception and I’ve been listening to it constantly over the last few months. hoping to hear some of it at the bl__k noise event
