one of my favorite artists ever, the album is a trip

It hasn't quite hit me as much as Rhythm of Snow and Rigning have (particularly the latter), but there's some really wonderful stuff on there.

np Secede - Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic
How I wish I had this one on CD.

i believe, even if Yagya tends towards a specific direction in his music, when i listen to his albums i feel how different they are. cant wait to listen to his new album when it comes out, next year i think

now listen something of sneaker pimps "bloodsport" in my matinee

another one i've been very late to the game in discovering.....THE BLACK DOG!!!

Which one ? there are at least 3 different ones

Plaid - goes with that without saying

Plaid definitely fall into the 'stuff I really don't get' territory, absolutely no idea what's going on there.

Now playing... Spheruleus - Forgotten Outland. Incredibly beautiful acoustic-based ambient stuff, brilliant.

not really sure what you mean here?
i do understand that 2/3 of black dog ended up forming plaid.....but what i've been listening to is a youtube mix of a 100 videos of "the black dog" or "black dog productions".

really there is only 1 black dog, no?
i understand there were lineup changes but it's not like one would say exactly "which orb?" when mentioning you're listening to the orb


or maybe i know nothing about black dog....that surely can be true as well

from black dog sheffield uk i love this set

The Black Dog – FACT Mix 144 - The Black Dog (Apr '10)

start with a great remix from a band that i cant remember in this moment but the bits added by Black Dog were simply Incredible.

The Black Dog (Ken Downie, Ed Handley, Andy Turner) - 1989-1996 - the original Black Dog

Black Dog Productions (Ken Downie, Ed Handley, Andy Turner) - 1991-1993 - side project that kick-started Plaid

Plaid (Andy Turner, Ed Handley) - 1991-present

The Black Dog (Ken Downie) - 1997-2007 the grey period, some rare recordings here and there, and some solo writing by Ken, also experimenting with various potential members

The Black Dog (Ken Downie, Martin Dust, Richard Dust) - 2008-present I was skeptical about this one at first but they are doing fine Music For Real Airports is a fine, fine tribute to Eno.

Have to agree, never really got into them. Maybe just a bit too minimalistic and "elektro" for my taste. I do have the Tekkonkinkreet soundtrack, which has a few tracks I really like. Apart from that.. not much.

Lately been listening to several new dark ambient releases, some less known shoegaze bands and some older favorites. And the EBS7 mix. Haven't been all that blown away by anything lately.

drum'n'bass anyone?

from the newer guys, I really like Phace - on the later releases, he has a new level of production,
very dark/strong bass, with very strong neurofunk lines and ammbience in the backgorund that reminds me of FSOL

this release for example: Phace & Misanthrop / Phace & Noisia – Desert Orgy / Stagger (12")
and this album is the shit: Phace + Misanthrop – From Deep Space

D&B used to one of my biggest loves.. stuff like early Goldie, Boymerang (lesser known), Arcon 2 (of course), 4Hero. Nowadays the whole scene is overrun by this crappy dubstep and the soul and depth is mostly long gone.

There are still some people making good, deep, DEEP tunes like Seba & Paradox, but they tend to use the same breaks and ideas over and over. I seriously wish there were still people like Leon Mar (Arcon 2) making anything REMOTELY as psychedelic as it used to be.

Maybe the times have changed and it simply isn't that fresh anymore. Dunno.

This thread is making me want to get my Photek stuff out. Modus Operandi is one of my favourite records. If only my CDs weren't 200 miles away...
