***It's the 2nd of October
The point of these threads, is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to, and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.
We track our progress using calendars, which we fill with the albums we listen to on each day and a rating of some sort for all of them. There are templates in the following posts. We encourage you to write the albums' titles and the artists' names somewhere on your calendar. We don't have any tools for creating these calendars, we use simple image editing softwares. You can predetermine a schedule for a month or you can report back on whatever album you randomly picked every day. Many of us make our schedules interesting in various way, popular ones being genre restrictions, new releases, and recs from the /daily/ community.
We had a
plug.dj room, which we used to shitpost for a little while. It's now forever empty, so if you want to spend a little time there, it is too late. You can find the temporary substiute here though:
>https://synctube.org/r/Some_dumb_synctube_channel Anyone can start the threads, but usually one of /daily/'s dedicated trips starts them.
We encourage you to start it, just be sure to use the standard OP.

>>60041014 >telling people that watching the movie is not the only thing needed to change I got the same impression from that progression I mentioned. Holy Mountain seemed to be a negation of the prophetic zeal displayed in El Topo, saying something along the lines of "this is all a ruse, this is pointless, don't believe anything I say". Especially during the scene where the "wise men" (idk what to call them, Jesus and the factory owners or whatever they were) burn their money for enlightenment. It seemed to poke fun at the producers who saw El Topo and thought it's the deepest shit ever and wanted more nuggets of wisdom from the guy. That, I liked. I didn't enjoy the way it was communicated, I didn't enjoy the style, but I enjoyed the premise. The ending just turns that on it's head and goes into prophet mode once again, telling people what's what. Made me think the whole thing's in earnest, and that would be pretty sad.

>go to the p4k fest stream to check when muh thomu is playing >see the little write up on Thom With Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes, his return to machine manipulations is proof that James Blake and SBTRKT owe a lot to Thom Yorke, who was already tinkering with electronics on Radiohead’s Kid A. >mfw smh tbh fam

>>60042071 Cause Warp artists were the direct influence for 3 of these dudes. Not to mention numerous other dudes "tinkering with electronics" (Stockhausen for example).
Oh and btw I really liked the Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector thing. 9ish area tbh fam. Gotta give it another listen.

>>60042120 Oh, damn, you really liked it? That makes me happy.
I didn't enjoy Kid A, redpill me on it if you can /daily/

>>60042241 simple :
Radiohead isn't very good so once they made a somewhat good album, everyone wouldn't sshut up about it and the repercussions are still visible today.

>>60042241 Explorations of jazz and electronic by an alternative rock band, more boldly than any comparable artist before them. Fairly impressive studio work, like they really fill out the sound.

>>60042065 True. You should read their review of Currents. It's a fucking disaster.
>>60041944 Fair point, but if you're talking about electronic music where computers are central, that's around when it started.

>>60042290 >radiohead isn't very good wew lad, it's definitely the closest Normans get to experimental music but you don't actually think Thon wrote some timeless bangers?
>>60042292 Ahh, so it's just the aesthetic and cultural context, it makes sense now

>>60042323 I'm not saying they're the first (I doubt Aphex is either), I'm saying this is the general time period when computers were starting to be integrated into the process of creating electronic music. And Radiohead was one of the first pop bands that did music like this.
I'm not saying I love it or anything, I'm just saying this album deserves some place in the history of how computers came to be ubiquitous in the process of making an album.

Radiohead bores me. They occasionally have some neat ideas ruined by Tom York's voice thrown in with no rhyme or reason.

Quoted By:
>Siouxsie and The Banshees - Juju They're like Bauhaus, but with better choruses and a better vocalist. 7.5/10>Evan Parker - The Snake Decides An arresting experience revolving around the sheer aural capacity of one single saxophone. A continuous assault of undulating patterns is rapidly shot at the listener, piercing the ear with shrieking sounds that you wouldn't expect a saxophone to make. It's almost hypnotizing; however not hypnotizing enough to justify the fact that it's a somewhat repetitive experience that doesn't justify standard LP length. As a result, it's not the avant-garde masterpiece one might hope for, but it still makes for a unique listening experience, at least. Take that as you will. 7.5/10>Etron fou leloublan - Batellages What a busy album. Especially on the 18-minute opening track, it just keeps changing from high-energy burts of punk to pop track with theatrical vocals to jazz-rock and whatever else. The main problem of this track, other than the fact that it's very jittery, is that the vocals are usually pretty annoying to me (whether they are shouted or theatrically sang or spoken) and seem to mostly work when you understand the lyrics, which I don't, because I'm not a piece of shit frenchie. More interesting were the jazzier parts of this album, especially "Madame Richard Larika". The closing track is pretty tense, with a guitar pattern being repeated ad infinitum till it gets seriously annoying and more vocals. Can't say it's a very pleasant listen, but it sets a certain atmosphere, and the sax going on in the background is pretty cool. It would have been fine if it were a little shorter. Overall a fine, but highly unbalanced album of which I feel part of it gets lost in translation for me. 6/10

But now I'm trying to write shorter, pithier ones (aiming for 50-80 words). It helps me get through more albums.
