| Genre King- part 6
Contestants-Joeman, NeroCorleone, ComeToDaddy, Archelirion, Danielito, Landdiving.
Jesus christ this is getting really narrowed down.
I can't even think of a witty game-entry comment now. | 1 | | Boards of Canada Music Has the Right to Children
Idgaf electronic music. Any kind. I am clueless.
I've heard no electronic (not even the one above) so everything is fair game) | 2 | | Lapalux Many Faces Out of Focus
Landdiving- There Are Monsters In This Bed.
This is hyper chill. It's so goddamn mellow and I love it. Not sure I can find much else to say about them (besides mentioning those gorgeous dream like vox). 4/5 | 3 | | Lights Out Asia Hy-Brasil
ComeToDaddy-The Eye of All Storms
This actually reminds me heavily of the electronic ambiance off of Enshine's albums (in particular, Origin. If you haven't listened to them they're incredible melodeath with electronic and post metal influences). It's really vast and spaced out, taking you on an endless journey through the both cataclysmic yet mesmerizing infinite plane of space. 4.3/5. | 4 | | Aphex Twin Classics
Joeman-Isopropanol
This has some really heavy, perhaps one would say dark even, industrial beats that I dig quite a bit. It's nothing over the top that really blows me away, but it has perfect amounts of energy and fun blended with just a slight sense of eeriness that makes it work damn well. 3.6/5
-ELIMINATED- | 5 | | Boris Brejcha The Techno Experience
Archelirion-Angel In The Sky
More hyper-chill beats. I wish I knew what else to say here because I really love this but I don't know the first thing about criticizing electronic music so 4/5. (I guess I should comment on that insanely deep baritone that chants "Angel In The Sky" now and then because I love that.) | 6 | | Byzar Beings From B'yond Wythyn Volume 1
NeroCoreleone- Phylyx
This is fucking haunting. It's wacky, with all sorts of sound drilling their way into the sonic mold (seemingly, with no intent on forming something "coherent" at all). The end result is something that shifts in different directions like snake. It certainly isn't a "pleasant" listen, but sometimes creating something unique is just as good. 3.7/5
-ELIMINATED- | 7 | | Autechre LP5
Danielito-Rae
This is fucking magnificent. Not magnificent in the way of being full of grandeur and bombast, but more so in the way of mood-setting. Being the soundtrack to every sense of mourning or loss one has felt, the electronic equivalent to despair. I never thought an electronic track would be moving, but alas here it is. 4.8/5.
