For three full years now I've been semi-daily posting a music recommendation in a big long thread, but it turns out 300-post threads kinda break Mastodon, so I have to restart the thread every so often

What I'm listening to today: "The Lie That Is Sin", YOB
My friend Ro recommended this when I said I liked doom metal. This live version (0:00-12:18 in the video) takes what was already a pretty great song and slows it down, picks apart each element and leaves it torn open on a dissecting table, luxuriates in each little sound, floating in isolation, icebergs on a dark ocean
What I'm listening to today: "7 string IR test", Daniel M Karlsson
Posted by @t36s as part of a series of computer sound synthesis tests, I'm not sure I understand it exactly but I *think* he used a recording of a string instrument as an echo characteristic and then by agitating it produced super realistic synthesized string plucks. Gorgeous little superresonating classical guitar improvisation with touches at once obviously human-driven and obviously computer-generated

What I'm listening to today: "Push Pull", Mark Thibideau
If you're up on electronic music genres: Imagine 90s French house but strip out the funk and substitute 00 dub techno instrumentation?
If you're not: Chill dance music for sitting in your chair. There are a lot of really cool sounds and I liked how good the sounds were, they were all like swoop swoop chikchikchik
2019 release. Apparently this artist is from Ontario

What I'm listening to today: "only in it for Euro Cash", Doak 16
Been listening to this YouTube synth collector's tracks all morning. This isn't the friendliest ["Remember it"] or the most provocative ["an ewok…"] track in the channel backlog…
But *oh*, I love the drums in this one! I love the way it comes together like a magic eye, nonsense into sense. Dense, dreamy, unique

What I'm listening to today: "Outside In", Linkwood
This track opens the other Raica ambient mix I was talking about Tuesday. It's just a really good frozen moment. Quiet, crackly, passes quickly. The sound of something starting, and then silence. A Feel

What I'm listening to today: "303 Day", Wizart
YouTube musicians have this tradition of making tributes to the Roland 303 acid bassline machine on March 3. Here's a lovely midtempo live jam made with Behringer's modern 303 reproduction, several modern Roland desktop reproduction units¹, and some guitar pedals. A good groove such as one might blast at the LAN party in 1999.

¹ Including a 303, meaning at a certain point you can catch him actually running TWO 303s AT ONCE

What I'm listening to today: "Rei Ayanami", Brian Altano
This is an EP I love from 2019, which remixes various songs from the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" OST as megastructure trip-hop, and although there's only 7 songs every one is a banger. Here's a "big beat" version of Rei's theme:
https://brianaltano.bandcamp.com/track/rei-ayanami
In my friend group our traditional road trip music is this EP and also that 2Mello album where he complains about people coming up to him in the supermarket and asking him to make beats

What I'm listening to today: "unleashed voices", Black Cookies
What the musician calls a "lo-fi tape loop ambient experiment". Super evocative. Sounds on free-running tape, four tracks on the left deck, one on the right, three separate echo pedals. Watch and you can see each little action the musician does to manipulate the sound, listen and you can hear all these little chunky sounds where the tape has mechanical imperfections. Deeply physical music.

What I'm listening to today: "Chinurareta Zabi-ke" ("The Bloody Zabi Family"), Takeo Watanabe
We've been watching the original 1979 "Gundam" and the music in it is actually *incredibly sick*? 70s Children's TV would just effortlessly toss off the rawest funk music.
There's this one obscure cue, it isn't even on the regular OST (you have to go to the extended 45th anniversary soundtrack), it plays during quiet moments. I *love* the vibe on this, the bass is so emotive

What I'm listening to today: "Afternoon Chill: Live Electronic Session", Jai Cuzco
This is uh, a bit gentler than the electronic music I usually post.
Chill beats and synth tones, a fluid medley of 2 or 3 songs. It's not clear where in the world this video was taken, only that the view from this guy's window is incredible

What I'm listening to today: "More disturbing wave bard sounds", OSVoS
There's a new Bastl Kastle and one of its configurations is a tiny "modular"¹ sample scrambler. This artist did a number of pieces mixing the Kastle 2 with other gear, this one I thought had the most interesting beat (You might prefer "More Wave Bard Experimentation" if you like kalimbas more than I do). Alien Gregorian chants + hip hop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHcFkUliO6w
¹ Jump wires instead of patch cables…take a look, it's weird

What I'm listening to today: "Legendary Wings", Hyakutaro Tsukumo (arranged by Yuu)
This is a General MIDI arrangement of the main theme to Thunder Force V, a sidescrolling shooter made by Technosoft in 1997 for the Sega Saturn. For whatever reason, this is the version I got hooked on!
Rendered on (splitting channels) a Roland SC-8850 and Yamaha MU2000, both of which were released in 1999, so if TF.V had come out just two years later it could have sounded like this.

What I'm listening to today: "Walk On Girl", Linda from Work
Christine's been listening to this band lately and I really like them. They give me a vibe like whoever Linda is was a riot grrl 20 years ago and now she's 35 and she has a ghastly office job and her life is a lot slower, but she's still in a punk band after work
This is the last track from their album "The Night is Short", which has at least three "oh, I should put that in the music thread" level bangers:

What I'm listening to today: "Pure Data Breakcore Live Coding", GrundTon
Distant barking. Weird overwhelming synth swells and one of the most unusual treatments of the Amen break I've ever encountered. (EDIT: It turns out to be a Funky Drummer break, which makes it even weirder it turned out like this?!) Generated by PureData and the YouTuber actually has several videos wandering around this same script's configuration space; this seems like the most focused.

What I'm listening to today: "Akai S950 - Deep House Music - Vintage Sampler", MikeSynth
Hype little house techno fragment made on a plausible circa-90s vintage hardware setup (1986 Akai rack sampler sequenced by a 2003 Akai sequencer, mixing board as an instrument). Really refreshing vibe, has a bit of a trip-hop feel to me.

What I'm listening to today: "Volume", Pylon
@onelson linked this and I don't know anything about it. It rocks! When I started typing this post I was gonna say something about krautrock but in fact it turns out she is *not* singing in German, only indistinctly. Wikipedia says this is from Athens, Georgia. Well that explains a lot. Cool crisp Clashy vibes that seem to predict everything that's gonna happen in pop music in the ten years after it was recorded (that's 1980)

What I'm listening to today: "Metric", Bryan Zentz
So there was this first golden age of "techno" in Detroit or whatever, when the genre was new and raw, but then there was this second golden age around 2000, when we (as a species) had gotten *really good* at the Detroit style and were just making a lot of it. This YouTube account spins a bunch of that era of music on vinyl. This track is a dense crystal structure of dance beats and staccato samples and it is sick

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled A ( Rock To The Beat )", Ferro
Another from the "Techno Vinyl Records" account's collection, this one's a little more genrefucky, with a more variety, bringing in strange sounds and "House Music" feels. A good gradual buildup.
(Honestly, I linked you that other track yesterday so I could link you this track today. This is how much variety you can get out of a initially-seemingly-rigid genre with some slight changes in texture.)

What I'm listening to today: "Goldener Reiter", Joachim Witt
A long time ago I got captivated by this odd 1980 Krautrock track, with its weird mix of melancholy and peppy, 90s CGI video, and breaking into English with "und I'm feeling up" in the chorus. I was wrong about everything! The video (now copyright-claimed off YouTube) was for a 1994 remix and re-synced with the original audio; there's no English; and the lyrics are about medical abuse so uh, CW German speakers

What I'm listening to today: "BLK ZMBY", billy woods
As far as I can tell, this song is intended as a political condemnation of the living dead. Mr. woods makes hip-hop with complex and layered messaging, some of which is not intended to be Legible to me personally. This track is slow murky deep fried jazz
"In 2023, Woods published a children's book titled A is for Anarchist.[11][27]"

This guy is a prolific Bandcamp/YouTube tracker musician, and here he pulls out some fusion funk with an immaculately crisp, clean energy. If you like the music in Sonic the Hedgehog levels listen to this

@oblomov eh ma non possiamo saperlo, se non viviamo duecento, cinquecento, 10.000 anni
Se ci aspettasse dietro l'angolo, dopo infanzia adolescenza età adulta matura vecchiaia vetustità illuminanza depressità vuoto rinascita falso nirvana nuova consapevolezza dimenticanza
E tutti i peccati errori rimpianti restano lì a roderci come tarli? O rinasciamo?
E in effetti oltre longevità immortalità c'è anche la rinascita (consapevole?), e magari il satori

FORLÌ: LAVORIAMO PER LA GUERRA! Un volantino da un’iniziativa contro il progetto ERiS
@anarchia
Riceviamo e diffondiamo. Domenica 25 gennaio una decina di persone vestite con delle tute con i loghi di Leonardo Spa e Thales Alenia Space hanno distribuito, durante il carnevale dell’Aeroporto al quartiere Ronco di Forlì, un volantino contro il Progetto...
