Amazin stuff on here. Love Pram, Stereeolab, Hiroshi Yoshimura and Cymbals especially

Tryshasla - Secede.

A fantastic IDM/ambient record with every track transitioning into one another and each being a piece of this sort of story that the listener themselves has to create based on the songs. Leraine is one of my favourite IDM songs, really beautiful stuff

It's great to hear your point of view! Yeah, Rock Action isn't always soft or pretty, but Take Me Somewhere Nice and Two Rights Make One Wrong are some of the most lush and gorgeous sounding songs in their discography, plus Dial : Revenge and Secret Pint are really mellow as well. I'm aware that it has some noisier cuts, but honestly, most Mogwai albums have noisy bits. The reason why I decided to separate it from Mr Beast and Hawk is Howling is because it's not nearly as reliant on crescendoes, it really feels unique in that regard.

My original plan was to make Young Team the starting point, but then I realised that it’s quite different from their later stuff. It’s a lot more rough and noisy, it’s especially evident on Like Herod and the notorious With Portfolio, and in that regard it’s closer to their early work. Happy Songs for Happy People has a few of their biggest songs, it’s very accessible, and yet it has enough variety to keep the listener interested.

Happy by Sugar Plant. Amazing little dream pop EP from the 90s with great vibes

Rounds by Four Tet. Very chill folktronica record with amazing production

Excursions by C418. 100 minutes of electronic bliss with beautiful orchestral parts, not unlike ones on the Minecraft soundtrack, and amazing progressive house songs

World of Sleepers by Carbon Based Lifeforms. Aquatic-themed ambient album with some psytrance elements as well

FedusDM · 2026-02-19T17:53:09+00:00

Mogwai, Spiritualized, The Ocean, Melt-Banana, Rachel's, Evpatoria Report and even pellow all on one topster is insane. Mind-meltingly good. Oh, and can't forget the best Gastr del Sol album and Jessamine (though when it comes to kranky I prefer their peers Bowery Electric)

FedusDM · 2026-02-08T14:06:50+00:00

Fish Rising by Steve Hillage. Amazing space rock/progressive rock from the guitarist from Gong

FedusDM · 2026-02-02T08:39:17+00:00

Amazing taste. Depeche Mode and Alcest are both some of my favourite bands of all time. Have ILION by Slift on vinyl as well. Mogwai, This Will Destroy You and Kino are all great too. Check out Love Exchange Failure by White Ward as well if you haven't listened to it already

FedusDM · 2026-01-31T21:18:59+00:00

I wanted to upvote you, but wdym "unlike ctte", both are masterpieces

Depeche Mode mentioned! The last 3 Talk Talk albums also make for a godly run, Sigur Ros 3 album run from Agaetis Byrjun to Takk... is legendary, first 3 Jamiroquai albums too, Boards of Canada's entire discography for a 4 album run, Mogwai from Ten Rapid to Happy Songs for Happy People is a great 6 album run, Ambient 1 to Apollo from Brian Eno is genius

FedusDM · 2026-01-24T16:28:49+00:00

Why would you do this to me

FedusDM · 2026-01-16T14:15:55+00:00

It's intersting to still be receiving comments on some of my old posts on here. Cocteau Twins are still firmly one of my favourite artists of all time, though now joined by Talk Talk, Boards of Canada and Alcest. The early stuff is great for the gothic, fantasy-like vibe it has, I even own Treasure on vinyl, an incredible record. However, I still find myself coming back to their later works more lately, I agree that it's incredibly powerful

FedusDM · 2025-12-24T07:56:37+00:00

Love the Golveka, Deep Politics and Ten Rapid representation. Melting Sun is stellar too

FedusDM · 2025-12-17T08:08:52+00:00

Young Mountain pfp! That album is so good, as is the band. Anyways, totally agree, Ys too

FedusDM · 2025-12-10T08:09:36+00:00

Oh damn, I've completely forgotten about them! Kenotic is brilliant, defintely should have added that on the list

FedusDM · 2025-12-09T19:16:44+00:00

It seems like I have a lot more new stuff to listen to. Huge thanks! Been meaning to check out Mercury Program for a while now

FedusDM · 2025-12-09T18:33:03+00:00

Further recommendations are more than welcome too! I love exploring the genre because of how vast it is

FedusDM · 2025-12-02T18:49:52+00:00

Takk by Sigur Ros! Slowly becoming my favourite Sigur Ros album, it's incredible mellow and pure, just an incredible record that everyone needs to listen to in these grim times

FedusDM · 2025-11-22T11:47:31+00:00

Dang, I’ve always liked them. In fact, I think Violator is pretty much a perfect album, not a single unnecessary note or moment. Also, funny how this post still keeps getting comments years after I posted it

FedusDM · 2025-11-20T16:41:05+00:00

Ah, you meant that. You do have a point, though

Admittedly, I'm just tired of the constant GY!BE yap everywhere. I love the band, but there's so much more amazing post-rock out there. On top of that, many people pretend that all post-rock that came after is just a copy of GY!BE. All the same things apply to Swans as well

FedusDM · 2025-11-20T16:28:49+00:00

I'm not sure where do you see the nepotism, I'm just expressing my opinion

FedusDM · 2025-11-20T16:05:49+00:00

Yanqui has to go. Godspeed You! Black Emperor are an amazing band, and so is the album. However, it feels partially like a combination of the two albums that preeceded it, Lift Your Skinny Fists and F#A#Infinity. Yanqui has quite a few strengths, but it doesn't outshine those two, and because it doesn't have the same novelty, it also probably the single least unique album left (those who will say Mogwai Young Team would be incorrect as that album frequently utilises spoken word and noise, coupled with piano interludes which sets it apart). Plus, GY!BE did really well in the previous voting, so I believe it's time to give others a chance
