The Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One (1999)

Early Elephant 6 magic courtesy of E6 co-founder Bill Doss. If you're expecting this to be warm, fuzzy, wistful, lo-fi indie rock, just because it's an early E6 cassette: you're absolutely right, that's exactly what it is. "Turtle Song" is particularly great.

Track listing:

1. Listen for the Day

2. Love Athena

3. I'll Be Gone

4. You Won't Be

5. Queen Misery

6. Learn

7. Temptation

8. Turtle Song

But it's not me

That you see

It's only a feeling

That you believe

Savant - The Neo-Realist (At Risk) (1983)

Tape loops, clattering percussion, droning synths, some propaganda-like spoken word, and a number of heavily warped instruments coalesce to form abstract, industrial-adjacent sounds that might be considered 'ambient' if they were at all relaxing.

Track listing:

1. Community Life

2. Shopping

3. Hotcake

4. Glass and Steel No. 1

5. The Urge to Buy Terrorizes You

6. Glass and Steel No. 2

7. Nerve Roots Are Uncontrollable

8. Music Works for Industry

9. Georgetown

10. Organized Labor

Arovane - Atol Scrap (2000)

Beautiful, magnificently rendered IDM from German producer Uwe Zahn. Blogger's forcing me to use a new interface so I'm honestly more focused on trying to figure this shit out than on actually writing this post. (Also, I can't figure out how to get two images to be aligned but not right next to each other, so that's why there are no album covers with the "also listen to" links below.) It's a really, really great album, though, I swear. 

Track listing:

1. Nonlin.R

2. Tascel_7

3. Thaem Nue

4. Ambelio

5. Scapen Te

6. Norvum

7. Revart Amx

8. Failed

9. Amine
