Yodelin' In The Whatchmaname Thang

Two pretty nice soul-jazz-funk albums here with just the right vintage and that wah-laced Sesame Street/Schoolhouse Rock/Stark Reality sound to get yr blood and other juices sloshing about rapider. It's mostly instrumental, but Coulter has a real great, soulful voice and some better-than-genre-par lyrics that make the vocal tracks really count. First album is basically straightforward, though it has great personality, while the second adds strange synths and what sounds like an electric harmonica, of all things, and has what might be deemed mild Mothers vibes, if only because some of the keyboard tones are Guitaronesque. And rejoice glum white male avant-turds!, there's a song about suicide, so you can take this funk seriously, ya morose morgoths.

Count Hemmendork

Holy crow, the Count Hemmendorff album is such a find! The aesthetic here is 8-bit cartoon haunted house music and if that don't appeal to ya'... yer borin'! Imagine dungeon synth if the dungeon in question was Broomhilda's or eight instrumental versions of "Spooky Scary Skeletons" and yr almost there. Some tracks are clearly highlightier than others but there's probably no better Halloween party music (sorry Kim Petras.)

e: look I'm actually posting a link for this hopelessly obscure album in the post! That's a thing I do now! Maybe this way I'll have more than... zero readers. Maybe. Here's the link: Count Hemmendorff. Enjoy! 

Hartman, Workman, Trumpet Man, Queef

Terumasa Hino's album with Johnny Hartman isn't as good as his (Hino's) album with Reggie Workman, or, as good as Hartman's with Coltrane, natch, and, even if Johnny stretches out of his comfort zone to slight embarrassment by showing a pulse,  it reminded me of how fucking immaculate he is - not only is he the only Great male jazz vocalist, he might be better than any of the ladies WHICH IS SAYING A FRICKTON OF A LOT. Dude could make my dad's panties melt. That was an unfortunate sentence.

broads of canadia

I was wrong, and I've rarely been wronger. I recently experienced one of my periodic bursts of canonicity, wherein I was compelled to download the relevant albums by three hipster superstars: Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and Godspeed You! Black Emperor (more on those clowns later.) My memories of the music of all three were hazy and distant, but my official opinion on BoC in particular had stood the test of time: they were sickly insipid pablum, limp beats atop Yanni synths  with the constant undercurrent of children at play, right? Like Jon Hopkins remixing post-Ágætis byrjun Sigur Rós. That's what HAI insisted they were - the most offensively white and undanceable of the IDM vanguard. But then I actually listened to Music Has the Right to Children again for the first time in a decade and... this shit's hip hop. Like somehow this whole time, Boreds of Canaduh (haw haw) aren't just not IDM by the normal genre definitions, they're not even EDM!  Seriously, if that album had been released in this decade, it would have an "Instrumental Hip Hop" primary genre and maybe "Experimental Hip Hop" or "Lo Fi Hip Hop" as secondary. Those are gotdang boom bap beats, and they're kinda bangin'! Autechre are always hyping their rap influence through mixes and such but this is way more obvious than on any of their work. And it's actually really good! They take a small number of disparate influences (90s hip hop and synthetic 70s library music, with maybe a soupcon of drum 'n' bass/jungle and ambient techno) and meld and mold them into a distinctive, intoxicating whole. If MHTRTC isn't an absolute all-time classic in my book, it's because the music suffers a titch from paradoxically being too self-similar and too inconsistent, and being released in the decade of the necessity of filling CDs (both of which negatives are increased tenfold on Geogaddi, along with their extramusical esoteric preoccupations, aka getting sucked up their own asses, though I do like the "Kids Say the Darnedest Things About God!" closer, which is surprisingly wholesome given the rest of the album - Geogaddi is definitely less magical than its predecessor, even if it's more magickal. And IABPOITC pretty much is an all-time classic.) 

So yeah, it's periodically ambient instro hip hop with library influence - if you think that that's the equivalent of taking a dump on a DJ Funk album in the name of colonialism, you're just as boring and weird as the chin-stroking IDM nerds we were all raised to fear becoming.

Witches of England, You are a Disgrace

The bookending tracks from Violence Beyond the Snowline's Hollow Shit for Dull Suburban Witches are spectacular - really top-tier stuff, and unique to boot; too bad the middle two pieces are just kind of there. But you really need this anyway if you think dark ambient is best when fed through a glitch meatgrinder.

watch me nay nay

ngl, I am super disappointed in nay's Fox's Wedding, 'cuz it's just not nearly as cute as that A D O R B A B L E Z cover would suggest.
