Nuova location per Tim Hecker : 11 febbraio @ Chiesa di Santa Cristina, Parma. Tim Hecker cambio location pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES

Resident Advisor Interviews Tim Hecker : The hard-working boys and girls over at RA recently posted a fascinating interview with ambient mastermind Tim Hecker (one of my favorite contemporary artists, as you have likely already discovered if you read this blog), and for someone who makes such ghostly and startlingly immense music, he's a very down-to-earth kind of guy. A great read for those interested in his music and the state of electronic music today. "Being a musician is very strange right now, at least for me. [...]

If you find something you like on this list, download the complimentary MP3 and click the album art, which will take you to the Amazon MP3 page so you can purchase it (some of these albums are $5 or less). 50 // A.A. Bondy – Believers It's about time Bondy takes the full on band direction without tip-toeing around it like the last few albums. Oh wait let me re-word that; his last two where spectacular, but this is a sound that he's been hiding for a while and it's [...]
There was so much really great music that I heard this year, to the point that putting together these lists was quite difficult and time-consuming. But even so, there are still a lot more albums out there that were recommended to me by others that I simply never got the chance to hear, as well as some that I felt needed more listens for me to fully absorb them, so they sadly won't be showing up on here (Danny Brown, Julianna Barwick, The Weeknd, Fucked Up, PJ Harvey, Main Attrakionz, Tune-yards, Yuck…I could go on and on). I'll [...]
About a month ago, picked my 10 favs of 2011 for The Elliot Potter Show with Jason Brown . I told him at the time that I could have picked 10 totally different albums and been happy with my list. Here are those 10. Tim Hecker Ravedeath, 1972 Why it didn't make [...]

It's that time of year to look back on the past 12 months and say "what the hell happened to the last 12 months?!". It's also that time of year where us music bloggers and self-proclaimed critics take the time to put together some Best Of lists for your reading pleasure. They don't really mean a whole lot and you can love 'em or leave 'em, but it seems like the right thing to do to sum up the year in preparation of the next. This year we're featuring personal lists from all of our fantastic writers. [...]
You guys, I can't do this anymore. I can't give you descriptions of all these albums and post 30 or 40 MP3s along the way. It just takes too much time and effort. I'll try to make this a little bit more than just a list, because I want it to look a tiny bit [...]

![[Best of 2011] Brendan's List](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3946409_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Boiling down a year's worth of music into a manageable 10-entry list is a bit daunting, but when the powers that be at Tympanogram gave the order, I obliged. The problem, of course, is that I am riddled with insecurities. I haven't been able to listen to everything I've wanted to the extent that I would have liked. Maybe the records I gravitated to just don't cut the mustard. Maybe my preferences for marginal styles diminishes my [...]

Tweet vaso link It's hard to tell whether this was a really great year for music or if I was just paying attention more than last year. That sums up my feelings at the end of every year. I don't want to do too much of an introduction because I have quite a bit to say. I'm not putting these releases in any particular order, they are just my favorites. Some I listened to more than others, but putting them [...]

Every so often the blog world gloms onto something minimal and I'm pretty content with 20112s idolatry of Hecker's fantastic Ravedeath 1972 . I personally have a long and sorted history with drone and minimalsim, spending much of my late teens immersed in it, though little in recent years has caught me. I got pretty excited for Blanck Mass , but didn't find much to cling to upon digging in. Ravedeath, 1972 initially skirted my love as well, until I had the chance to take it in live. Experimental music is a sincere [...]
1. M83 - "Midnight City" Ever since I heard "Run Into Flowers" eight years ago, I've been fully subcribed to M832s stargazing, towering synth landscapes. And they are landscapes - fast moving hills and cities and clouds glimpsed from the passenger side of a car moving to an unknown destination, awaiting wordless promises and terrors. "Midnight City" is an appropriate title, then. It's a song that feels like a progression of everything that's gone before - "Run Into Flowers," "Don't Save Us From the Flames," "Kim and Jessie", and now "Midnight City" are all [...]

Graphic by Mark Hofmann You know a year has been fruitful for dance music when the singles, good as they are, happen to be eclipsed by a crop of especially great albums. 2011 was just such a happy anomaly, a year stacked so high with exceptional LPs that winnowing down a list of the 10 best was an unexpectedly difficult task. Even once the list was finished it seemed rather incomplete, with so many fine records by Kode9 & The Spaceape, tobias., DJ Qu, Rick Wilhite, Nebraska, Portable, James Blake, Moritz Von Oswald Trio, [...]
It's been a banner year for Hardly Art. Seemingly back-to-back-to-back-to-back fantastic albums filled out a year capped of by the Gem Club album Breakers, a truly somber bit of orchestration. To celebrate the festive days cluttering up the calender before the inevitable turn towards 2012, the good folk at Hardly Art sent over a list [...]
Tim Hecker 's sketches are more beautiful than many people's masterworks. I could live in his echoes for days without food or engagement of the other senses. That's some ambition. Let's start with a minute and a half and go from there. I think he and I accidentally wrote the same melody. Debating whether or not to sue. Tim Hecker - Sketch 6

Things were different this year, there is no clear cut "best record" as there have been in the past. Instead, this year a handful of records blew us away. Ranging from a collection of beats that somehow sounded better free of the vocals to an Austin trio hell-bent on reverb-ing your brain out of its capsule. Without trying, I somehow ended up with exactly 20 albums, check it out below. 20) Death Grips - Ex Military Mixtape [Self-Released] [...]
