Bob's Favourite spins of 2022
In no particular order.
Ryoji Ikeda - Ultrasonics. Oh my. Ikeda's most listenable album to date. This is a banger at the 26-minute mark. I love his dedication to art and his explanation of data and sound. Visual and auditory artist. Favorite experience.
DJ Pythons - Mas Amable. I had this on repeat a lot. I mean A LOT. It is one of the most consistent-sounding albums I've heard in the last several years. DJ Python provides an earthy sound with heavy influences of reggae and African rhythms in a deep house sound. It is the sound of sex, with a non-stop consistent BPM that blends each track into a 49-minute hypnotic trance. ADMSDP (feat. LA Warman) leaves chills down the spine, with equally confused infusions of ASMR babble. Check out a sample. Also my favorite this year (because I can have 2).
Cousin - Second Message. Also my favorite, in the subset of music production. This also has similar deep jungle sounds like DJ Python, but with a twist of fun. If Disting doesn't make you tap your foot, you're nothing but the detritus of a ChatGPT3 output. Percussive drums with natural tones and layers it doesn't bore with frequent electro injections. One of those EPs that likely goes under the radar but is a gem.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love. I know, I know... haters gonna hate, but this album (and effectively their second release this year) reminds me what real music is supposed to sound like. Bass, drum, guitar, solid singing, and lyrics. Great album, and ya can't stop from singing along. Love Bastards of the Light.
CV Vision Insolata- YES... ANOTHER CV VISION ALBUM! The first time the same band provides a top-10 album in back-to-back years. Each track is a commercial soundtrack from a divergent universe stuck in an endless loop of 1986, which is truly horrible and beautiful. Synthetic Melancholia is like a break-up song for robots, and Echoes is such a trip.
Dopplereffekt - Neurotelepathy. This is an underrated ambient techno album. Optogenetics is a Tangerine's Dream. ... speaking of who are notables.
Broken English Club - The Artificial Animal. A lot is going on in this album -definitely not for the light-hearted. Ersatz sounds like a Blade Runner 2 lost track. Broken English Club in the Building.
