I've started buying CD albums again recently because I decided that I still want to have a physical
connection with the music that I love. I don't want my collection to be entirely made up of MP3 files
and as I don't own a turn table, I figured this is a great way to do so. I'm interested in any kind
of electronica, doesn't have to have any beats or necessarily a 4/4 beat and definitely nothing club-
oriented. The last two CDs I bought were John Roberts' Glass Eights on Dial and Sebastian Mullaert's
mixcomp Wa Wu We on Mule Musiq. Currently I have Ostgut Ton's Funf compilation and (finally) Pulshar's
ablum on Desolat, titled Inside. I'm gonna pick them up when they're in stock next Thursday, and was hoping
to maybe pick up one or two more at the same time. So I was wondering if any of you have any recommendations.

To help you make recommendations, it'd be great if you had a look at the store's website in order to
have an idea of what they are currently carrying: http://www.atomheart.ca/

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm familiar with some of those but not all. I'll check out the samples. Last I recall Ikonika wasn't really my thing, but I may be thinking of another dubstep producer.

Keep em coming folks.

Didn't really understand that site but this is some of my favourite albums from 2010:

ASC - Nothing Is Certain
Shed - The Traveller
DeepChord Presents Echospace - Liumin
Mount Kimbie - Crooks & Lovers
Actress - Splazsh

I still need to get hold of the new Echospace album. I didn't have any money when it came out and as soon as I looked to buy it, it was unavailable.

After hearing the samples of Eleven Shades of Night, I just put in an order for it online. Hopefully it'll be here soon, it sounded fantastic.

Think I'm going to buy MMXII and Oversteps as well, though not positive about those. Need to see how much money I have.

It's the best album I've heard in years, by far. My review: http://www.beatsfortheplanet.com/20...ght-red-mist-2/

I think you'll really enjoy MMX II. Oversteps is really good, but like most Autechre it's hard work.

I checked out the samples of the Autechre and the Antibreak albums but they don't really seem to be my thing. The Clubroot album sounds pretty interesting though. Do you know where I can find more samples? Bookmat only has samples for 3 tracks.

I have to agree, the Antibreak album sounded pretty bad ass. @ Lews

You can use iTunes, all the albums he listed are available there to sample.

Oh, do you have a new writing home now?

I was really surprised by the samples. I'm not much of a breaks/dnb kind of person, for some reason they've never really appealed to me as much as the other genres, but the samples blew me away and I had to buy it instantly. Definitely looking forward to it, even more so after reading your review.

I'm really torn about Oversteps. Some of the samples sound absolutely beautiful, but as you said, it does seem like a lot of hard work and I'm unsure if I'm looking for that right now, what with my limited music budget.

Also, on the topic of recommendation albums, do you have any recommendations for ambient albums? Particularly either melodic, space themed, or really, really good


Adam, re:Clubroot, I listened to samples on Discogs. It had a two minute sample for every song.
