That surprised me too. The album would've been on my 2021 favourites list for sure if he had done.

Yes, and I actually have already reviewed it. It's good, but it sounds a bit like 2/3 continuation of Vol. I (great) and 1/3 some more stuff thrown in to arrive at album length (not quite that great), so I prefer Vol. I. Other things that really have impressed me (in the meantime I've heard enough to have a top 20 and more): Aquaserge Ske Jordsjo Craig Fortnam Needlepoint L.W by King Gizzard and the L.W (haven't heard the other one yet)

doesn’t really explore as much as before, so can’t make meaningful yearly list as I only know a few albums from each year post 2015’ish

Thanks for that, Lewian! I've been a big fan for over ten years and I hadn't a clue! (I generally tune out each year's music for the first six months as it helps me get my sanity back from the usual year-end rush.) I'm listening to it for the first time right now! Great 21st Century electronica! Reminds me of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto, Christian Fennesz, Holger Czukay, David Sylvian, and, of course, Brian Eno! |
