and this is probably his best. really impressed by this record.

It’s been turning into my favourite of his with each listen. It’s certainly his most cohesive.

The Floor Plan album is banging.

Advancement by Solar Bears is good Boards Of Canada-esque stuff

I’ve scrolled down quite a way, so I forgot what the examples were, but listen to the new Gold Panda album, it’s properly joyous stuff, I love it. It’s everything you could want in an album.

Good shout.

I’d say give Oliver Coates’ new one a try, ‘Upstepping’. He made most the album on his cello. Sounds amazing.

a.b.donoval · 2016-10-10T08:35:58.034Z

yeah, Oliver’s work is really amazing. seeing him later this week in London, very excited!

Not really what the OP is after but I’m enjoying the Sepalcure album.

Think my fave of the year so far is Second Woman - S/T
Reminds of of SND and old Mille Plateaux records.

Haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but check out Petrol by Anenon, and if you like that, his other album Sagrada.

Apart from that, I mainly keep going back to these albums (all of which have been mentioned, I think):
Peder Mannerfelt - Controlling Body
Hieroglyphic Being - The Discos of Imhotep
Oliver Coates - Upstepping
Leon Vynehall - Designed To Dance
The Rival Consoles EP from this year (and the album from last year)

Private Energy by Helado Negro, is really good. I think it only came out this week.

New Grischa Licthenberger is dead good. On Raster Noton which is always a good sign - highly recommended for fans of that label or the more Confield-y side of Autechre.

The ‘Mike & Rich’ reissue is very nice, very playful. A good mixture of styles. Still need to delve more into U-ziq

elseq 1-5 is starting to sink in. A good 10 hours in the car this week has seen to that.

Trentemoller’s ‘Fixion’ album is terrific, but I’m not sure it’s an electronic album as it has a Cure-like bass through the whole thing…

dollarsandcents · 2016-10-15T20:01:34.776Z

Gave this a try just now and loving it - thanks!

Lots of these releases now added to my 2016 year playlist, ready for shuffling come year end.
