 | Pon Also ty, didn't intend to end up with a near perf 3.00 average but here we are lol
|
 | Koris I changed mine around the beginning of the year. I swear, I change usernames like I change my socks, lol... hopefully I can manage to stick with this one from here on out
|
| Koris Nice username change ;]
|
 | dakotadsmith I don't think I'm the best for review advice even for Jazz but that review is awesome and much better than I could do lol. You touched on everything; background, content, and what makes it special for you... it's a better review than I could give tbh
|
| dakotadsmith Try 'Tipico' and 'Sonero' by Miguel Zenon. He's a phenomenal composer who has great solos alongside Luis Perdomo ('Links' and 'The Infancia Project' are also great records)
|
 | MiloRuggles you're a beautiful lil bassjockey and i shall you on my glories and tragedies once i find a phone with a working AUX port :(
|
| MiloRuggles evok fren i need your expertise. i have acquired a subwoofer, and i need a couple of your fav recs to make this puppy bark!
|
 | MarsKid I ended up getting some assistance, but thank you for the response!
|
| MarsKid Ahoy amigo, would you perhaps be able to help a man out with some editing?
|
| Koris Pönder that örb, bröther
|
 | CaptainDooRight Ok yeah I totally get what you?re saying! That?s super cool! I youtubed some hifi set ups to see more detail. Almost like a home studio without the recording aspect. That?s awesome! All I got is my good ole trusty headphones haha
|
| CaptainDooRight What is a hifi? Also yes indeed that?s cool. I?ve always dabbled in classical since I was a kid. It?s never been my top genre due to metal but without metal it?s prolly all I would listen to haha
|
| CaptainDooRight Cool! Can?t wait to dive into it!! I def dig me some classical
|
| CaptainDooRight Nice thanks! And good to know! Am I correct in seeing its 44 songs with a total length of 4 hours and 20 minutes? This is gonna be a project haha
|
 | necropig I am well. Just about to sleep and my cat is sleeping beside me. Hope all well hour end
|
| MiloRuggles oh oh jump into the thread and post it! there's a slight expectation for you to dip in and rate picks, but this is less important than chucking the chunes in!
|
| MiloRuggles oh noe, try this one: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=198463
|

|

|
| CaptainDooRight Hey what?s up Evok my bro! I?m sorry I thought you knew. I made a list about it but I?m not everyone had a chance to see it. I hope you enjoy it! It?s not bm like the Trvth works. It?s dm so I hope you fancy!

| normaloctagon https://gd4ya.bandcamp.com/track/karma-delirium-sp-mc-remix
|
 | Sowing That all sounds good, and we can certainly start the discourse before we even hear the record. Might be interesting to get some thoughts down about Foxing's music so we're not behind when the album finally drops. I'm asked the label for a promo, so hopefully I get that in advance and we can kickstart things early. And thanks for the metal rec! I'll check it out soon enough.
|
| Sowing I forgot about the Foxing collab oops. I don't really do discord so hit me up on sowingsputnik@gmail.com if you want to talk logistics. Also due to general time constraints, I'll probably have to do an emailing back and forth sort of deal for any collaboration on the review itself. Let me know if that's still appealing to you!
|
 | Gillie Thanks for all the DnB representation. Been finding a lot of cool stuff through you!
|
| Sowing There's a follow up? Dear lord. Thank you for that.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I'm the dude with the question mark lol - When you go for metal again check the new Mefitis. I think you ll love it.
|
 | When you go for metal again check the new Mefitis. I think you ll love it.
|
 | Gnocchi CONTRIBBBBBBBB! NOw get in the forums if you haven't already
|
| Pon https://discord.gg/gEJw9h6
|
| Pon Yeah there's the casual convo crew I'm they'd be delighted to have you if you want an invite
|
| Pon Welcome aboard my guy
|
 | Dewinged Congratulations Evok! Long overdue!!
|
 | Egarran Awesome. I shall pray for you.
|
| Egarran Have you been away or is it just my paranoia acting up again?
|
| MiloRuggles uuuhhhh, my people tell me that applications close on the 23rd, then I guess it just depends on how long it takes for the powers that be to sift through them and make big brain decisions. My comparatively unwrinkled brain is not part of this process, so any estimates I make will undoubtedly be wrong
|
| MiloRuggles Haha well I put in a good word for ya in some hidden forum somewhere. Not too sure how much my word is worth as sputnik's resident toilet humour advocate, but there we are anyway
|
| MiloRuggles Hanging out for some big electronic/dnb features with your name on em
|
| MiloRuggles Legend! Yeah, that's all there is to it. Best of luck my g
|
| MiloRuggles Yo, you should apply for contributor! I promise it's chill. Love your writing/taste, I reckon you'd be a great fit
|
 | zelenichajnik https://qzbmusic.bandcamp.com/album/clairvoyant-ep - cool sounds
|
| parksungjoon https://riantreanor.bandcamp.com/album/file-under-uk-metaplasm
|
| DDDeftoneDDD "Im having a hell of a time getting into Black Saint" - On track B - the part where the chaos turns into music...and the sax starts almost shouting or talking at you and then is slowly turning into the most melodic sax tune...with the same exact note! Its a priceless moment in music...and imagining it was 63...is just omfg.
|
 | Shadowmire i have no idea how to give tips on that. how do you enjoy other music?
|
 | Slex Flattery will get u everywhere, I'm down
|
| Sowing It may have to do with the font or program you're using. In regular Microsoft Word I've never had an issue, perhaps try that or a plain txt file.
|
| Sowing it's just outdated. nothing the mods can change unfortunately :-/
|
| MiloRuggles It was one of the first sput classics I ever got into. Still nothing else that scratches that itch.Props your way for the Ash Borer s/t 5. I'm not huge into the lo-fi side of bm, but that album gets my bits tingling big time
|
| Shadowmire I thought something like that might slowly happen to me as well but I keep gravitating towards crazier music. Hope you like the EP in any case
|
| Shadowmire it's effectively a short Deathspell Omega release with Colin Marston production, so it depends on whether that's your music daydream like it is mine
|
| Dewinged Dude, it's good, only heard it once, production sucks (as always) and I think it has less blast beats, etc but vocals are amazing and they did some really intersting stuff here and there, and all in all is a good jam! get on it! wanna hear your opinion too!
|
 | SteakByrnes I get a discount since I work there, but it still costs quite the pretty penny lol so I might just get some speakers at the very least and see where I go from there
|
| SteakByrnes Haha yea man, it was right place right time! I had just gotten out of school and was applying to literally everywhere around me, and they had just moved on from two software guys so it was perfect. I work with a lot of the preamps, integrated amps, etc., it's such a good place to work :] I was testing a new unit yesterday in a conference room with a bunch of things connected to it, like through balanced, unbalanced, coax, hdmi, all that jazz haha.
|
 | Prancer I really enjoyed that Nick Mulvey album and I definitely plan on returning to it soon. I can see it growing for sure.
|
| Sowing [continued #2] - and Ethan Gruska's latest was also a personal fave of mine even though the reception here was lukewarm. If you ever want recs from prior to 2020 I have them - I see you never rated Damien Rice or Glen Hansard, among plenty of other folk stalwarts I'd recommend highly.
|
| Sowing [continued] - Not sure how much you're into The Microphones, but their 2020 release (a single 40 minute song) was also pretty good. Zach Bryan has much more of a country-folk vibe, but if you can dig that style then I highly recommend Elisabeth. Same goes for Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud, which is sort of a grower but basically has female Dylan vibes. Loving - If I Am Only My Thoughts feels like it fits the "2020 lo-fi folk" description as well only with a splash of psychedelia
|
| Sowing Still have to check that out. In terms of limiting to 2020 releases only, and in terms of understated folk, I've been digging the new Bendrix Littleton hard. It's been a bit undervalued on this site but it's got an amazing lo-fi atmosphere and only just came out 2 weeks ago. I also really enjoyed Westelaken - The Golden Days are Hard. Very lowkey, underground Canadian project that blends a ton of influences.
|
| Sowing I have a ton of recs if you're interested, any specific genres you're favoring right now?
|
| Sowing Could definitely go even higher than a 4 if the mood or lyrics strike me! I'll keep you in mind...I always have folk albums queued up so I'll see what I can compile that you haven't already rated.
|
| Sowing I listened and it really is great. Reminds me of Ben Howard circa Noonday Dream but a little more sprightly and energetic in spots. April and The Trellis were early highlights for me, but I only listened once. First impressions are that it'd get a 4 from me, but could be better as the lyrics sink in. Appreciate the rec very much!
|
| Sowing Ah, not yet but thank you for the reminder! I'll make a point of squeezing it in this week. :-)
|
| Gnocchi Largely I?d start making an impact now with reviews on current releases, tweaking/improving your writing, being active in other review threads and adding insightful discussions where you can. Show that you can meet the criteria for the position (generally one review per month) offer to help in end of year features and basically get involved.
|
| Gnocchi Mostly the actual application process is easy enough: just wait for the news item around February which will tale you the forums or a google form of some sort. But it?s the work you put in before hand that has a larger impact.
|
| Gnocchi On keeping you?re writing sharp or how to get to contrib? I?m happy to put my two cents in wherever. I?ll be honest though; there?s guys that know a lot more than me
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Nice pic! Lol. snw is a weird one. I wouldn t sell it but I came to enjoy as a fan.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD LMAO - all albums, and all band really, are huge growers! Now that's exactly how you rate Full of Hell.
|
| Sowing I'll be sure to check it out! Thank you for the rec!

| necropig I'm on 2 week holiday but I have the cold, oof. What about you?
|
| DDDeftoneDDD ahaha **** it, I only know Apex Predator. Go for it.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD hey dude. have you checked that Napalm Death? m/
|
 | Sevengill dude it's so good. really happy somebody wrote it up.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I don't often do/check live show...but that peaked my interest. tks!
|
| Sowing You're way too kind. If you've enjoyed the music I've rec'd/reviewed, I'm sure it's a two way street so feel free to let me know if there's anything you think I'd enjoy!
|
 | Wizard I have been well. Crazy times my friend. Hope you, your family and friends are doing well through these unusual circumstances!
|
 | Trifolium Goooooood, thanks! It looks like I have some homework to do! Everything 90s works for me too by the way, why didn't I say that before omg!
|
| Trifolium Yeeeessssssssss Opeth are amazing. I remember the moment when I fell in love with them. They're still special to me. And concerning the bleeps and bloops: I'm all for it! Styles I love most include techno, minimal techno, some tech house, and dub stuff (i.e. Pole). Not too big a fan of Dubstep, more of Drum and Bass, but then the more old school stuff (for instance Black Sun Empire).
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I could kill for that rate on WP ahaha on other matter, that Motorpsycho is wooooooo!
|
 | bloc Yay, glad to hear that. I am not even sure what made me check it in the first place, but I am always looking for old school sounding house music

|

|
| CaptainDooRight Yeah takes a while to sink in, it?s not so in your face but has a lot of nuances that are filled with emotion
|
| CaptainDooRight I?m really liking it, not their best and is slower tempo but still has sick riffs and amazing atmosphere
|
| CaptainDooRight ah how did you get to hear the new DSO? Is there a link? I wanna hear
|
 | twlight looking through your 5's you have great taste! love the 5 for Sorrow!
|
| Brostep Ooh will listen when I get a chance!
|
| Brostep Oof will listen. Love monuman
|
| Brostep aufect's one of like three good local electronic labels, "local" being relative because it's based in Vancouver (4ish hours north of me driving). a bunch of their artists come through to Seattle pretty often, we've got CRIMES!, Doctor Jeep, and OAKK over the past few months. no UK but we make do
|
| Brostep oh lord you weren't kidding
|
| Brostep adding the comp to my spotify!
|
| Brostep High praise coming from you, appreciate it :)
|
 | 50iL Yo, that Silent Witness record was awesome! A bit overlong, but all quality.
|
| 50iL Thanks dude! Will jam soon, promise haha
|
| 50iL Hey man, just came around to say that I really appreciate all your recs, although I may not look the part haha. Haven't heard the Gnawa album yet, but I haven't forgotten, not even one day. Hope all is well.
|
| AnimalsAsSummit I have some new music out you might enjoy... its experimental electronic but touches some drum and bass influence as well as inspiration from techno and ambient pop/dub: https://kinggreenied.bandcamp.com/album/opio
|
| AnimalsAsSummit agreed! unbelievable album dude. perfect modern dnb release. definitely gets better with each listen.
|
| AnimalsAsSummit hell yes! what a monolithic album. been cycling it all week
|
| Dewinged Pretty good huh, only jammed it once but left me a good taste. Someone should write it up!
|
 | Xenophanes Aww thanks bud. Yeah sometimes I?m so-so with Circa but BSN is a Stone cold classic. I?m also looking forward to check out that new Cormorant side project that just dropped an album
|
| Xenophanes Nice ratings for Blue sky noise, Dwellings, and Summit. I was obviously stalking your 5s ; )
|
 | Nocturtle ur black tongue rating is wrong homie
|
 | DarkNoctus un - sentiment, leech - for better or for worse, harakiri for the sky - arson. [:
|
 | Relinquished check out his last couple singles, Butterflies and Midnight... and the Laszlo Dancehall LZD IV.
|

|
 | Papa Universe well of course i ****ing damn loved it, you bet your mosaic lsd-ridden lizard av on it
|
| Papa Universe So is that Manes album just pure craziness or is there something more methodical to it.
|
 | climactic such fire. idk how he does it. bleep bleep just put up a new song on SC with tsu, its tite
|
 | Flugmorph BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT BOOBS. A REAL MAN KNOWS THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THE ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

|
| 50iL Yoooo that Monty rec was ****ing awesome, thanks man
|
| 50iL Sweet, I'll check it out!
|
| 50iL Thanks for that rec! It was enjoyable, but I felt it was missing something compositionally... idk
|
| 50iL Haha, thanks! That weird bass tone is actually the basis for my own bass tone (I play bass); I really like that dense wonky sound and I think it's the future of bass itself.
|
| 50iL Awesome, thanks!
|
| 50iL Hey, thanks again for that Drumspyder rec! Good stuff.
|
 | Darius The Imposter haha I've not been too bad, doing some co op for my studies, being overwhelmed by music, the usual
