Such a diverse record, from desert rock to hip hop to whatever. This just keeps giving and giving.

A drone ambient masterpiece. Nothing more to say about this. I’m not sure, if the cassette is still available, but the digital version still is.

Pure Ambient bliss with a strong leaning towards Kosmische Musik.

A really free record that isn’t just noodling but very thoughful and sparse.

Every good list needs at least one Goth Rock entry, right. here it is. Too bad they already split up.
Best of 2010: 07. Sam Prekop – Old Punch Card...
It was a great suprise to me that Sam Prekop released such an album. No post rock, mostly just modular synthesizers – sweet

Quite like the emeralds, but with mostly just a guitar and a bunch of pedals. Deep.

Intense ritual psychedelic rock. Get your shrooms ready and enjoy the ride.
Best of 2010: 10. Oval – O (Thrill Jockey)
This was a total suprise. I not only didnt expect a new album from Markus Popp, but also was really surprised that his new material sounds like an early post rock band with rhythmic tourette. Highly energetic but yet so calm.

An amazing, nearly Krautrock sounding album. No video unfortunately

Nils Quak – This Once Silver Sky
I’m happy to tell you that my most recent work “This Once Silver Sky” is now available for order on Ripples Recordings.
“This Once Silver Sky” combines heavily processed field recordings, loops of found music, synthesized sine waves and granular processing. Deep drones drown in thick layers of reverb, distant fragments of old flexi disc recordings oscillate between the...

As SND Mark Fell and Matt Steel have been showing in the last decade how funky completely abstract and digital music can be. Judging from its sonic aesthetic Mark Fell’s solo release Multistability is no exception. Tiny clicks, single sounds from old drum machines, hints to house and Detroit stabs and chords are the fundamentals of the tracks. The programmatic setting is the multistability...
