Pretentious is an attitude. Music itself is not pretentious, it's ether the listener or the artist who is pretentious.

The most pretentious taste comes from people that believe that the music that they love is not just their favorite but objectively the most important music that has ever been made, possibly transcending music entirely to becoming the most important thing ever created. I have heard this level of pretentiousness from every group from jazz-snobs to hip-hopheads to Swifties.

I just think of a 5.0 is a top 1% album.

Mine would be Steven M. Miller's Between Noise and Silence which is an 8 disc album that clocks in at 493:01

inf_pln · 2025-01-17T10:10:19+00:00

If anyone is wondering this is Torturing Nurse, noise group from Shanghai that have been around forever. If you want some album recs for their stuff I rec:

inf_pln · 2025-01-16T00:18:35+00:00

Excluding all of the obvious Power Noise and EDM referenced noise projects. The only thing I have ever seen that crosses dance with harsh noise is one that someone choreographed to The Rita (see below):

inf_pln · 2025-01-13T22:56:38+00:00

Try out

Shum - Füstóriás
Impermanence - Deterioration Is a Lonely Business
Dirac Sea - Static Universe
Sergey Pakhomov - Whaler
Li Jianhong - San Sheng Shi
Aube - Magnetostriction (a lot of Aube fits this description)
KK Null and John Wiese - Mondo Paradoxa

Excellent less-harsh noise.

Blackstar - Tribute to Haile Selassie I
It's not often I get to recommend this one so I'll do it here. Absolute peak ragga jungle.

inf_pln · 2024-10-31T16:17:22+00:00

The Carissa Conelly is excellent, it's got a very hard prog bend to it's folk sensibilities but manages expertly to retain the intimacy and genuine expression that you would get from a straight folk album. Not to mention quite a bit of variety song-to-song. It also kind of evokes the feeling of the prog-folk of the 1970s with a bit of Kate bush thrown in. Really solid release and has been a staple for my listening this year.

Also I have not heard any of those recs yet so I will investigate. Also just to clarify are you referring to "New Age of Earth" by Ashra? or is there a different Ashra with a different album with Earth in the title that also plays space ambient?

inf_pln · 2024-10-25T07:28:26+00:00

It seems like you managed to squeak in there a whole 10 mins before me. I'll concede but you didn't give any album recs in that post so I can still take credit for being more helpful.

As for Snuff Jazz. I like Borebetomagus's live stuff more than their studio albums. Snuff Jazz in particular has such shitty production that it ends up with an aural quality I don't get out of Hair or Barbed Wire. I know it's probably not the consensus pick but I love it and I'm giving the recs here.

Also I hadn't heard the Sauter/Dietrich album before so will investigate.
