  1. Submotion Orchestra's 'Finest Hour' is definitely the album of the year for me so far. Cinematic Orchestra meets Burial with one of the best vocalists I've heard in a looooong time. Absolutely stunning

    Africa Hitech's album 93 million miles on Warp Records is pretty sweet too. Got this epic tune on it:

     

     

    Apart from that I haven't really heard much else to add this year, odd as last year there seemed to be a constant stream of amazing albums coming out!!

     

    Lets have some more recommendations on here guys, I got loads of good stuff from the 2010 thread :)

  2. Quite enjoying the new younger brother album. A few of the tracks are way too poppy (ie shine and night lead me astray) but the rest is very nice, especially pound a rhythm, train and spinning into place.

     

    You can stream it here: http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2011/04/04/the-barometer-younger-brother-album-exclusive/

     

    As mentioned, Ott's Mir and Aes Dana's Perimeters are awesome too. Apart from that I haven't found any other stuff this year yet, still catching up on 2010. Got hidden orchestra the other day, amazing album! Time to do some digging soon methinks.

  3. the mix you posted is only 9:57 long, is that correct?

    and isn't the first track by Juno Reactor? Conquistador I

    the second track also doesn't sound like Eat Static... i suspect its your own mix yohankiwi :P

     

    damn, must not have uploaded properly. the actual set is around 2 hours long.

     

    And no, it's not my mix I got it from the website above: a set they played in Brighton in 2004 :P

     

    I'll try again

  4. How is it that these Ultimae artists can keep getting better? Last year Solar Fields blew us all away with Movements and now CBL comes out with this.... Absolutely sublime from start to finish, with some unparalleled moments of beauty.

  5. Already posted this, but be sure to pick up third ear audio's album when its released in july. you can preview it (full songs) on their myspace. Looks like it's going to be a cracker!

     

    Apart from that then the group i'd recommend most highly is pitch black and their label dubmissions. you can get a whole load of free tracks from them on their website, along with some live ones from their legendary live performances B)

  6. From your enthusiasm, I guess you saw him live this weekend. Where was it ?

     

    However, this guy is pretty unknown to me. 2 tracks released so far I think. Do you know if more are planned?

    He has loads of free mp3s on his website

     

    He's also done looooaads of video tuturials on how to use ableton live for truly live electronica performances (also on his website). Talented bloke

  7. Hello all,

     

    Wanted to check if anyone here ordered records from the Eat Static web shop (http://www.eatstatic.co.uk/) and received their records? Placed an order late 2007 and so far I have received 2 out of 10+ records. And since the payment also is done upfront it's pretty fucking bad. I've contacted them several times, and everytime it seems like they are about to send the next lot but I haven't received any new records since January 2008.

     

    probs best to post on eat static's forum rather than here. merv reads that frequently so im sure hed be more than willing to help :)

  8. If you buy an iPod make sure that you buy the extra three year guarantee on top (around £40). It's well worth it, I've already got 2 new iPods out of mine after they stopped working (which they do A LOT)

     

    I'd also recommend saving and buying one with looooots of space (80gb or more). That way you don't have to upgrade when you run out of space :)

  9. Anyone know of any psy breaks coming out or even from the last year?

    ah, there's so many. psybreaks has been pwning lately. Check out broken robot recordings, just been launched with 2 new singles from Rex.

     

    Also the following have released some wicked singles over the past few months:

    Plastic Shell

    AMB

    Far Too Loud

    Mesmer

    Hedflux

    Robosapiens

     

    Mood Deluxe also has a new album out this year. And Slackbaba's new one should be out soon too :)

  10. I can only add to the glowing reviews that have been posted on this album. This one of THE best ambient albums I have ever heard, I'd put it in my top 5 five releases of any genre released in this decade and probably within my top 10 albums ever. This album is just so emotive, rarely have I been carried away by an album as much as I do when I listen to this.

    I really can't think of enough superlatives to describe the feelings this album evokes in me when I listen to it...

    Undoubtably a 10/10
