Exquisite Ghost - Earthen Soundwares (2012) (electronic)

Here's another one from a friend. Winnipeg-based electronica producer Jordan Thomas (moniker: Exquisite Ghost) has been pounding out this stuff for a while now. Signed to netlabel Salient Sounds, Jordan takes equal influence from prog acts like Mahavishnu Orchestra, the classic jazz of Miles Davis and the cosmic swagger of hip-hop producers Flying Lotus, J-Dilla and El-P.

There's a lot of really cool sounds on display here; Ghost seems to have an endless array of downbeat numbers and bangers. With precise drum programming, a wide variety of synths and samples and heavy ambient texturing, this album just goes by at a really smooth and otherwordly pace. Seriously, give this one a spin.

Pink and Yellow - Alcoholics Anonymous (2011)

Another EP by New Orleans based electronic project Pink and Yellow. Taking influences from areas as diverse as 50's pop, lounge, chiptune, dubstep, and nu-metal while at the same time failing to properly emulate any of the above, the output is often lo-fi and tongue-in-cheek and sometimes tediously experimental. This EP seems to center primarily around the more bright, colorful sounds they offer.

Dirtyphonics - French Fuck / Bonus Level (2008)

Early single by a French outfit called Dirtyphonics. Very drum'n'bass, with dubby and house feel and a hint of the chiptune on Bonus Level. These guys crushed their remix of Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites and their original output ain't half bad either.

On an unrelated note, I'm aware how many of the links here have been compromised by SOPA/PIPA and other interventions, I'll go about fixing some of the links any day. Leave a comment if there's a link you want fixed in particular. The Neutral Milk Hotel, Dorothy and B-32 seem to be bringing in all this blog's visitors so I'll have them patched up soon.

Laskfar Vortok - Tetrakyts (glitch)

Here's something I really like. Spastic glitch madness in the style of Kid 606, I Am Spoonbender, Bastard Noise. Promoted by the Naboa Music netlabel, there's not much to find out about this guy from internet research other than that he's released a couple albums of pure noise/sound collage/glitch/drill and bass nonsense.

Black Swan Collective - The Late Music Vol. 1

---

Here's another rare piece from the Elephant Six Collective. Formed as an Olivia Tremor Control side-project, Black Swan Network seemed to have a revolving door of participants including members of Neutral Milk Hotel, The Circulatory System, Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't, Sunshine Fix, and Frosted Ambassador .
This 1997 release is an hour of ambient, industrial, and musique concrete noise apparently inspired by dream landscapes supplied by fans.

Pink and Yellow - Too Mainstream and Back

 synths and industrial noise. Lots of samples from 50's and 60's pop music as well. alternates shamelessly between happy melodies and unlistenable clanging sounds. download it here
