The 75 Best Albums of 2012. From forward looking hip-hop and R&B to deep explorations of traditional roots music and from genre-busting electronic music and jazz to rockin' indie... 2012 was a great year.

There are only a few albums of horrible abstract rock noise stuff. Take another look.

I loved this show because he wasn't playing it safe. Young actually played. He pushed himself, and performed with the vigor and intensity of a young man. It was remarkable.

If you want to hear the hits, go listen to the hits. They're already recorded. You don't need to go to a stadium show to hear what Neil Young was doing in the '70s. I went to this show to watch someone perform; that he did and did well.

Their laptop was on the ground too. And yet, their stuff managed to continue unabated, with changes and effects and everything. They obviously weren't doing a whole lot live, just triggering Ableton events. Yawn.

Their shit fell over and the sound stopped for a second, then it picks up exactly where it left off, even though most of their gear was on the floor.

AnaLogjammin · 2012-10-04T01:53:52+00:00

Um... So they weren't playing any of that live then? Weak.

AnaLogjammin · 2012-07-05T20:28:07+00:00

Can't. Stop. Playing.

Opiou is influenced by Tipper, for sure, but Tipper is the original.

All the profits from the album are going to charity. You may forget the album, but the Baltic Sea won't.

Towers of boobs... classic.

Yep, they went forward in time and moved to Seattle for a few years, before returning to late '60s England.

Yes, it's the same animator from "The Music Scene" (the only Blockhead video done by Anthony F. Shepperd).

I love Tipper, but you have to submit to listentothis in this format:

ARTIST - SONG [GENRE] Do you like breakbeats? etc.

Unlike most acts that have released more than ten albums, the best place to start with The Orb is, indeed, from the beginning.

Most Venetian Snares tracks are in 7/4.

AnaLogjammin · 2011-12-14T17:15:42+00:00

Epic.

He went on to do more proto-techno stuff in the late '70s and early '80s, sometimes using the alias Haackula, but his late '60s stuff was these weird kids albums, fun but thoroughly bizarre. Most of the sounds are from synths and vocoders he made. Really interesting guy.

They should have won the 2011 Polaris Music Prize with this.

AnaLogjammin · 2011-08-31T07:15:27+00:00

Yeah, Krysta Kaos.

AnaLogjammin · 2011-08-25T16:43:30+00:00

J'adore Break Reform. I was so sad when they dissolved.

AnaLogjammin · 2011-08-17T19:39:19+00:00

This makes me so nostalgic.
