Lately

Obsessed with the latest Bonnie Prince Billy Wolfroy Goes to Town (Drag City, 2011). I used to be a great admirer of the man, but kinda let it go around 2007, when he started releasing tons of live material and I got tired of all my folk/country/americana records. I gave this album a try and thought it was superb. Perfect "by the fireplace" record. The recording just suits the songs so well to me : beautiful tone, perfect source distance and a warm yet delicate presence. Also dug out my "Ask Forgiveness" EP, made out of covers (R Kelly, Sinatra, Bjork, etc.).

I loved BPB's earlier stuff, especially Arise, Therefore and I See A Darkness but his more recent stuff hasn't done anything for me - going to give this one a try.

I'm now listening to Melt Banana - Speak, Squeak, Creak

I'm not a huge BPB/Will Oldham fan but I do love 'I See A Darknes'. just a great great album.

Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump
70's Afro-funk/soul/rock and about anything else you can put afro in front of. Strong release in a sea of afro comps.

peaking lights - 936  (non-stop listening to it....seems I´ve my 2011 "teen dream") 
+
christina vantzou - no. 1   ....beauty one

maps & diagrams - lights will call on you   ....enjoying a lot their new ambient-ish side

pd: a little bit disappointed with the latest raster-noton lp´s (byetone + senking)

oneohtrix point never - replica

^ hmmm, not sure about this one.  read lots about the new direction of this lp so was expecting something different from his usual juno explorations, but i think i miss the arps and drones.  three fantastic tracks, the rest don't do much for me at all.

sound samples didn't convince me at all...

[Orphax]

it was up at soundcloud and I thought it was still too much arps (i have a hard time listening to those).
But I thought the rest was boring as well.

Guess it is just not for me.

Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foilage
An all-time fav.

not enough arps, if you ask me!

Wolves in the Throne Room – celeastial lineage
my black metal fix for the week.

[machinefabriek]

Oneothrix Point Never - Replica
First listen... and quite enjoing the new, more playful direction...

Köhn - Random Patterns
Saw this perform live... very charismatic and hypnotising

Group Inarane - Guitars from Agadez volume 3
Also after seeing 'em live... great stuff. Maybe not as fantastic as Group Doueh, though.

Clive Martinez - Drive o.s.t.
Fantastic film, fantastic soundtrack

[darren mcclure]

moon duo - mazes

astral social club - generator breaker

[s_hamann]

Chris Watson - El Tren Fantasma

Been listening to it all week, absolutely love it.

[haesslich]

have been on a really nice concert yesterday:
touchy mob (kind of kompakt-minimal techno blended with guitar/folk/singersongwriter) and as support tellavision (livelooping girl, but what a voice!). so i got their CDs:

touchy mob - atlantic back
tellavision - we love the omniscien narrator
tellavision - music on canvas

if they come around, i highly recommend seeing them.
