Woah! I had no idea you featured this in your blog, (as you pointed out, it's not electronic). Thanks for the positive words and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Though it's not electronically-based music, I feel compelled to share with you the recently released Decease Estates by Superdensecrushloadfactor, the music from the mind of one of our fellow PA members. The music on this album is quite lo-fi and will feel comfortable with fans of garage indie music, whereas people unfamiliar with this type of production may take some time to get used to it, but the music contained within is well worth the effort. The best comparison that I can make to this album would be Bath by maudlin of the Well, with thick avant metal sections, profoundly beautiful and melancholic passages, and there is even dashes of playful punk music tossed in. To pick some favorites -- "Vandalize Stock Photos" starts off with an experimental yet beautiful guitar riff that sounds very similar to traditional Chinese music, then at around the 6-minute mark the composition takes a turn for a more melancholic melody reminiscent of overlooking winter scenery on a lonely dawn; "Subliminals Repeat Until They Become Blatant" is energetic with bright guitar melodies contrasted with heavy guitar melodies, sporadic drumming, and the way the song flows makes me think of the best parts of Yes' Relayer; "Progress" is a short, catchy tune with a very punk attitude, and in combination with the longer experimental tracks on this album, gives off a kind of Cheer-Accident effect. Anyway, if you're into avant-melodic music, then this should be on your list of albums to check out. It's offered up as a free download but you're able to donate some money if you'd like to -- if I had money, I would.
Yep, I am loving it as well. I really love his spin on the old school Berlin School. Especially with those Manu Chao vocalizations, which incidentally just have been updated, so they're brighter and clearer in the mix.
BTW That first one - I think it's an EP.

Just for the record, I just completed the bio for Koroiev(although that is somewhat of an overstatement, as this guy has next to nothing written about him anywhere. He may well be a bot with a sense of melody and timing...) - so hopefully we'll see him on PA soonish

I just wanted to pop by and say that I think you are doing a wonderful job with your blog. I may not be the most frequent poster up in here, but I very much enjoy reading it on a daily basis - or whenever something goes down.
So here's to you Monsieur Bib Bib
I love your work dude!

Well I've officially given up on updating this blog on a regular schedule, so I'll be updating very irregularly instead. Between school, teaching myself 日本語 from scratch, and writing my own crappy music to share with someone eventually, I'm a very busy/increasingly lazy person.
But, I still present you with an album by Shahs called Guts. This is a little different from the electronic music I would normally post because it has a strong leaning towards krautrock (specifically reminding me of Can's more electronic albums), but in a way that is somewhat poppy yet still experimental, kind of like a very lo-fi version of Animal Collective -- I'll call it krautpop. Whatever you'd like to call it, it's quite hypnotizing and has the dense smokey production that you'd expect of something lo-fi from the '70s to sound now. I can't be entirely sure, but I think drugs were involved during the making of Guts. Anyway, fans of experimental German music from back in the day or fans of dancy, bouncy strangeness should find enjoyment in this short album. They have a few more recordings available for free on their bandcamp, and their recent live recording is nice. Enjoy!
Also, I've been in grindcore mode lately, so here's some non-prog electronic electronic grindcore remix -- my favorite Agoraphobic Nosebleed song for your enjoyment. Enjoy! Or not!
