Krallice - Mass Cathexis
At first I was a bit underwhelmed but once I start to actually pay attention to this album I see I was very wrong. This one is bomb… In terms of musical style it somehow reminds me of BTBAM, but quirkier and songs much more condensed. 快去買

Grand River - Blink A Few Times To Clear Your Eyes
Ambient. 超好聽，貝多熊可考慮進一下。Another magnificent release from Editions Mego.
Release date: 2020-09-11
[8.6/10]
Ana Roxanne - Because Of A Flower
Not really that into her debut stuff but this one is golden. Mellow, ethereal ambinent / indietronica.
Release date: 2020-11-13
[8.4/10]
Bill Callahan - Gold Record
Blues / country / folk. This one is a lot of fun to listen to, and the songs are super catchy. I think I like this one even more than Shepherd. 開始就在那邊說 “Hello I’m Johnny Cash”， LMAO
Release date: 2020-09-04

Faceless Burial - Speciation
Ass-kicking death metal. Good stuff.
Release date: 2020-08-07
[8.4/10]
MJ Guider - Sour Cherry Bell
Downtempo / shoegaze. FFO Grouper.
Release date: 2020-09-18
[8.4/10]
Various Artists - Blue Note Re:imagined
Bunch of UK artists unite to do a tribute to Blue Note records. Acid jazz / R&B / soul. 好聽
Release date: 2020-10-16
[8.3/10]
Adrianne Lenker - Songs
Simplistic folk songs. Very stripped down album, yet it is an album that becomes increasingly engaging as you play it on repeat. 真的好聽
Release date: 2002
[8.3/10]
Emma Ruth Rundle, Thou - May Our Chambers Be Full
Another cool release from Thou & Co. Somehow it feels like a grunge album…
Release date: 2020-10-30
[8.2/10]
Ireen Amnes - In The Land Of Silence
Grinding industrial / techno. FFO Vatican Shadow, pretty eerie stuff.
Release date:
[8.2/10]
Moor Jewelry - True Opera
Noise rock / no wave + Moor Mother. I honestly don’t know how one would describe Moor Mother’s musical output in a word. Maybe spoken word poetry with experimental jazz instrumentals? But Mental Jewelry totally slays on this album.
Release date: 2020-04-20
[8.1/10]
Takayuki Shiraishi - Anthologia
Playful house & mellow beats with krautrock influences.
Release date: 2015-10-16
[8.1/10]
Botanist - Photosynthesis
Organic post-black metal. At first I was a bit skeptical about this one but after several spins I think it’s one of these rare instances where a band that does a hybrid of post-rock / black metal music doesn’t actually suck or claims to be “experimental” but is actually just post-rock with harsh vocals… Oh and this one is very melodic.

Various Artists - Pop Ambient 2021
輕鬆無負擔
Release date: 2020-11-27
[8.1/10]
Staraya Derevnya - Inwards Opened The Floor
Bizarre ritualistic psychedelic folk music. FFO Swans.
Release date:
[8.0/10]
Nadja - Tsukihoshihi
Obscure Japanese city pop / funk album unearthed. 好聽
Release date: 2020-11-13
[7.9/10]
John Frusciante - Maya
It’s actually not bad… definitely not what I expected from him though. Drum & Bass / jungle. Pretty retro sound.
Release date: 2019-08-27
[7.8/10]
Goldmund - The Time It Takes
Minimalistic piano ambient.
Release date: 2020-10-16
[7.8/10]
FFT - Month / Sacrifice
趙正媛說這是 Nicolas Jaar 嗎？我是覺得不到太像…
Release date:
[7.7/10]
Gesellschaft Zur Emanzipation Des Samples - Anthology Of American Pop Music
Jan Jelinek’s alter ego does some dreamy ambient music sampled from alleged pop songs… GES wrote some stuff on their Bandcamp page, pretty interesting read.
Release date:
[7.7/10]
Maarja Nuut & Ruum - World Inverted
Techno / experimental electro-folk. I like the more folk leaning parts of this album more, the hard hitting techno parts feels kinda like how a NIN album would sound.
Release date: 2020-09-11
[7.6/10]
Dirty Projector - 5 EPs
Pretty catchy indie roc compilation. So the 5 EPs all sound pretty different, the first being folky, the second more indietronica, the third has a bit of Brazilian folk vibe going on, but then the entire project still feels very coherent. However I’m not really that into indie music right now…
Release date: 2011-11-08
[7.6/10]
Mort Garson - Music From Patch Cord Productions
More previously unreleased stuff from French electronic music pioneer. This one sounds more mystical, and some tracks feature full band playing along to his synth playing. Personally I still prefer Mother Earth’s Plantasia though.
Release date: 2020-11-06
[7.6/10]
Yellow - 浮世擊
Acid jazz / R&B. 除了 Meniere’s Buzzing 跟獨上C樓之外，每首歌都編得很好 (那兩首我真的不愛… ) 樂手真的是 played out of their minds，鼓跟貝斯演奏到飛天。不過還是不太耐聽…
Release date: 2020-10-12
[7.5/10]
Aesop Rock - Spirit World Field Guide
Abstract hip-hop. I actually think the beats on this album are pretty dope, but his voice sounds a bit thin and distracting.
Release date: 2020-11-13
[7.5/10]
Cabaret Voltaire - Shadow Of Fear
I’ve played this album a bunch at the new job… but I’d suggest sticking with their older, more memorable stuff.
Release date: 2020-11-20
[7.4/10]
Gaika - Seguridad
Dreamy futuristic pop. Never really felt attached to his stuff though…
Release date: 2020-07-03
[7.3/10]
Angel Ho - Alla Prima
Contorted experimental trap-pop. Basically it’s what you’d expect from Hyperdub.
Release date: 2021-06-04
[7.2/10]
Loscil - Faults, Coasts, Lines
Soothing cinematic ambient / post-rock / field recording. It’s like music you’d hear at a museum and you’d be like, “the music is alright”, and then you get on with the rest of the exhibition without really paying attention to the music.
Release date: 2020-05-01
[7.0/10]
Bongripper - Glaciers
Meditative heavy music. 超不金屬，感覺是那種宿醉窩在床上會聽到睡著的類型
Release date: 2021-03-01
[7.0/10]
Liturgy - Origin Of The Alimonies
Black metal opera. There’s a trap song at the end of the album. I mean the more aggressive sections are pretty cool, but the entire thing doesn’t make a lot of sense without context. Maybe I’ll appreciate it more when I get the album…
Release date: 2020-11-20
[7.0/10]
Orchid Mantis - Far From This World
A more shoegaze-y Real Estate. Pretty sounds, not a lot of originality IMO.
Release date: 2020-11-20
[6.9/10]
Yo La Tengo - Sleepless Nights
YTL does soothing country covers.
Release date: 2012-10-03
[6.5/10]
The Killers - Imploding The Mirage
Arena rock / synth-pop. 聽了幾首決定這張其實還是沒有很好聽
Release date: 2020-08-21
[5.2/10]
Mammal Hands - Captured Spirits
Uninspiring nu-jazz. 趙正媛說不好聽
Release date: 2020-09-11
[5.0/10]
Cloudkicker - Solitude
Cloudkicker 還是聽 Beacons 就好了，其他的都差不多… 這張則是特別無聊
Release date: 1956-01-01
[4.3/10]
Mr. Bungle - The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo
Goofy thrash metal.
Release date: 2020-10-30
[3.8/10]
Ovum - Ascension
[10/10]
Release date: 2021-06-02
Jake Muir - Lady’s Mantle
Field recording / ambient. Psychedelic stuff.
Release date: 2018-07-27
[8.5/10]
Basic Channel - Quadrant Dub
Dub techno. 買不到了…
Release date: 1994
[8.4/10]
Function - Existenz
House. Though this album is over an hour long it never feels stagnating. Love this one
Release date: 2014-06-27
[8.1/10]
Yatta - Wahala
Kinda feel like Mhysa’s album from earlier this year. Experimental spoke n word… or cut-up music?
Release date: 2019-04-26
[7.7/10]
Sky H1 - Motion
Synth heavy ambient. Pretty good.
Release date: 2014-10-31
[7.6/10]
Rothko - Severed Tense
It’s basically an extremely twisted bass solo. Experimental post-rock / drone.
Release date: 2015-07-06
[7.3/10]
Roska - Perception
UK grime / tribal bass. Feels a bit single dimensional.
Release date: 2017-10-06
[7.0/10]
Battles - Juice B Crypts
感覺隨著他們年紀越來越大，出的專輯好像也變得沒那麼有趣了一點… 當然還是有些部分是不錯的，只是比起一開始那一張真的是差有點多
Release date: 2019-10-18
[6.7/10]
Bruce Haack - The Electric Lucifer
Psychedelic synth-rock. One of the first few guys to seriously do music with Moog synths?
Release date: 1970
[6.5/10]
