5.0 classic

Andy Stott Faith in Strangers
A+++, 10 out of 5, superlatives... At first listen, I knew, it's awesome music, but after a few dozens more listening I just can't get rid of this. There aren't much musicians, who can produce albums, that have consistent increase in quality and art factor, but Andy Stott is one of them. All of his material is awesome, and from time to time, it's just getting always better. The only thing is what I'm afraid of, that I really can't imagine what is beyond this point. Even a genius, like him, how can enhance his artistic skills even more? If he can achieve that in the future, I won't be surprised (maybe the way, how he do that, will be interesting), but even if he can not, I wouldn't mind, because, for me, he gave everything, what a music artist can.

I know, that we are not the same, but people, this is the very best electronic album ever created! It's better than Amber, and even Tri Repetae is not getting close to it. The newer albums are a different story, but from the golden era, it's their best. And as being a debut album, it's far beyond classic! After years I still could listen to it, day by day, and it never gets old.

If You live through the first 2 minutes of the first track, then You'll find surprisingly accessible material here. I know, it's not the best compliment calling Autechre's music accessible, but I meant it, that it's the most accessible amongst the sick part of their discog

A lot of artist can't handle the LP format. 'Less is more' for them.rHere, the situation is totally the opposite: maybe the only bad thing with 'Dutch Tvashar Plumes' was, that it was too short. But at last, we can enjoy his enchanting music for more than 70 minutes. 'More is more' for Lee Gamble.rI'm still digesting it, so time will tell, if it's classic or not, but the 4.5 is granted, for sure.

Don't be fooled by Flatland. We have pure and awesome dubstep here, from the best kind. And I don't say Flatland is bad: #1 is just totally different from the cold techno sound of that. The beats, sounds etc... it's funny to think about what would be if he would produce a dubstep album instead of Flatland in 2014...

"Can't Spend The Day Without You" is a hymn of uk garage-dubstep, and among other great
songs, "Making All These Moves" is one of the sickest dubstep hit! Even Caspa or Rusko could
be envious of it ;-)

It's been sitting on my hard drive for at least a year, and I ran into it several times. It took too long to take to this album, that finally I got tired of this style. But it's not a bad album, it's 'good' at least. For me it's somewhere between 3 and 3.5 . As I see, You are the only one who rated it, so let it be 'great'.

Adrian Sherwood and Pinch Late Night Endless
Afaik there aren't many quality, and genuine ganja dubstep (dub-step ;-) music, and it's Pinch, so it must be good. Although I expected more Pinch, more songs like 'Precinct Of Sound', but maybe I'm wrong, and he changed his style, and the old material will remain nostalgia, as nowadays before this release I accidentally gatherded my old Pinch cds to re-visit them. There are 2 talented, and experienced musicians here, but this album is rather just a 'Late Weed Night Endless' jam. EDIT: I revoke the 'endless' from my album title idea. You'll find out why.

Basement Jaxx Junto
"the truly excellent 'Mermaid of Salinas' wouldn't sound remotely out of place on the
latter"
Maybe, because it's a completely reused material ;-)
It sounded familiar to me, and I found a disc in my collection from 1997, "Atlantic Jaxx
Recordings - A Compilation", and the song is "Samba Magic", whic was just practically
remixed here.
From Junto, maybe the only one is "Buffalo", what reminds me of how I felt about Basement
Jaxx 15 years ago.
It's a freaking crazy song. The others... nothing special.

I really can't put this music anywhere in my collection...
And it's a good thing, because it's definitely not the shite side of music world. But
also, I wouldn't be proud of this, if someone would see me listening to it. But it also
magnetize me. (Sometimes, when I'm alone at night, I load it up, and listen to this in my
headphones. But I'm absolutely sure, that I wouldn't listen to it in my car, with
blasting volume, and opened windows...)
This guy wants to put in too much in his music, and it's a very immature
thinking. And also, if there wouldn't be a skrillex, this music would be better. Anyway,
this would be one of the lasts from my collection, which I would show to my friend or
so. But it is also funny, that I started to comment an album, which would be at about
1000th place in my collection ;-) But what else could I say about a 'Burial' for example?
You see, I can't decide it, but it plays with my imagination. You must hear it yourself,
because I think, even in this running world, maybe it deserves an hour to listen to it.
At least 1 time.

Top quality, as always, but I don't wan't to praise this prematurely. A few more proper listen required. My brain tells me, it's the future sound of progressive club music, but I don't feel it completely yet. Don't judge this too early, listen to this music fkn loud, and we'll see!

I don't see, how can a pop album be 'classic', 'superb' or 'excellent', but the problem is maybe with me. Here, you get, what it is: a summer syrup album. If You need this, let it be. I think I'll stick to Demdike Stare's Patchwork for example.
