I Kinda lost a bit of interest in Hiorthøy after Melke.
I felt that he'd run a bit dry on ideas and subsequently produced an album with only one or two significant tracks.
Kinda feel the same about Four Tet, wo, for my money, had his strongest moment back in 2001 with the Pause album.
His remixes no longer do it for me and feel a little exhausted like Hiorthøy.

I get my (best) music listening kicks from a slightly different part of the spectrum now, but I'd still be interested to hear Hiorthøy's latest, if only to see if he's back on form or not.

Might well give the Fridge album Happiness a spin today.

-

Fwiw™, some recommendations:

Greg Davis - Arbor
Mix 1 part electronic to 1 part folk.

Greg Davis - Curling Pond Woods
A less conspicuously electronic blend of the above
2 parts folk to 1 part glitch/sound

Corker/Conboy - Radiant Idiot
On first listening my guard instantly went up on account of it being a little more 'post-rock'* than their first outing ('In Light of that Learnt Later').
On second listening (fortnight later) I was able to listening beyond the post-rock and hear the folk. It's still there and with that post-rock layer the blend is sounding reet good.
It's more driven that their first album and sounds different, but every bit as good.
(* As much as I like some groups in that genre, I have more than enough of that in my collection for now without seeing a much-loved group disappearing down that hole)

Colleen - Everyone Alive Wants Answers
Mentioned it before, but worthy of another mention (and another and another…)
One of the strongest debut albums I've heard, one of my favourites and one of the best speculative purchases I've made.
A great addition to any leftfield** listener's collection.
(** the genre, not the band)

Oh and Lali Puna - Faking the Books of course.
Lali PUna - duh! What's not to like?

Are you talking about Hei or Melke there? I think he probably had run dry on ideas after Hei which is why Melke was just a collection of remixes, 7 inches, rejected tracks and tracks for compilations.

random pickings from the hundreds of cd's i've had in storage for more than a year. this morning so far:

cam · 13-04-2004, 07:05

Had a clear out of CDs this weekend.
Stumbled on a forgotten hip-hop compilation which offered up a decent, little (but loud) old-school session.

Also had Björk's Debut playing. Still a great listen.

yep... Bjork's first was a good one

I have about 1600 songs (10 gigs) stored on my g5 here at work and have playlists according to what genre I am in mood for... currently listening to my electronic songs... Crystal Method, Chemical Bros., Moby, Primal Scream, Daft Punk, Orb, Juno Reactor, Tricky, Massive Attack, Lamb, Portishead etc.

flatcat · 13-04-2004, 19:21

Mmmm.............Kelis' new cd Tasty :x

alice · 13-04-2004, 19:31

am listening to Kelis an all! really don't like half of it,
except the first 2, the one featuring Nas, and the Andre 3000 one.
I'd rather swap it for Outkast!

tomson · 14-04-2004, 05:40

/R7 · 14-04-2004, 05:47

Papriko by Dragibus
Japanese/French free-form and groove jazz with 'childish' undertones. Avant, cut-up oddness, in a 'not quite sure if it's pure crap or pure genius' kind of way.

Summer '79, The Ataris

Yeah, it's generic rock, but it's suiting my mood & the weather (it's sunny!)

dorian · 16-04-2004, 10:01
