Cecil Taylor Unit - Dark To Themselves

Free jazz. Holy balls this is some intense music…

Release date: 1990-05-01

[9.0/10]

King Tubby - The Best of Dub

It is indeed the best of dub.

Release date: 1983-01-01

[8.6/10]

Material Girl - i85mixx21-22

Experimental cloud hip-hop / drum & bass. This is so good.

Release date: 2022-03-25

[8.4/10]

betcover!! - 時間

Super psychedelic Japanese R&B. This one is really wild.

Release date: 2021-08-25

[8.3/10]

Kate NV - Wow

Left field synth pop. I like Nobukazu Takemura and Nyege Nyege Tapes so I like this.

Release date: 2023-03-03

[8.3/10]

JPEGMAFIA, Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES

This feels more like a JPEG album with a Danny Brown feature. Bombastic left-field alternative rap.

Release date: 2023-03-24

[8.2/10]

slowthai - UGLY

Abrasive post-punk + alternative rap. Wasn’t much of a fan of his previous stuff but this I totally dig.

Release date: 2023-03-03

[8.1/10]

Liturgy - 93696

This is a lot more black metal than Origin of Alimonies, while still retaining that dramatic sense with those operatic passages. The track 93696 reminds me of the band Cobolt.

Release date: 2023-03-24

[7.7/10]

Ill Considered - Liminal State

Modern spiritual jazz.

Release date: 2021-11-12

[7.4/10]

Ibrahim Alfa Jnr - Sirius A

Wonky techno. At first it sounded pretty fresh, but as I finish the album I feel that the tracks are just way too similar to each other both in terms of sonic texture and speed.

Release date: 2023-03-10

[6.7/10]

The Necks - Travel

Jazz-noir. Too minimalistic, sparse, and not in an interesting way.

Release date: 2023-02-24

[6.7/10]

Gorgonn - Six Paths

Claustrophobic, somewhat monotonic industrial noise-dub. Probably great as DJ material though.

Release date: 2023-01-31

[6.6/10]

Fever Ray - Radical Romantics

Sounds like Bjork…

Release date: 2023-03-10

[6.3/10]

Enon - Grass Geysers… Carbon Clouds

Noise pop / indie rock. Very radio friendly… not really my thing.

Release date: 2007-10-09

[5.0/10]
