Farthest South - Neurim. "In November 2013 Dahan and Farthest South joined forces for a recording session in which Dahan read "Neurim" in full while the band improvised a live soundtrack to his reading, giving birth to a new, synergetic artistic entity of words and music which feed off of and amplify each other. The resulting album provides the listener with a highly intense, disturbing and often spiritual experience."
- An experimental masterpiece, recommended by Kargatron many moons ago . . .
"Winner of the « In memoriam » award of the « Académie Charles Cros » 2005, Archives sauvées des Eaux represents the encounter between a pioneer of concrete music, who died of late, and a live sounds manipulator. In the last six years, Luc Ferrari worked on a series of compositions to explore, in every direction, the totality of the concepts he experimented since the beginning of his work in the middle 50s and this CD is a great evidence of those. The idea raised as some water damaged a collection of magnetic tapes, where works from the 70s were recorded. The author decided to compose using what has been saved and proposed to eRikm to participate to a re-building project in Milan. The guest artist, live sampling Ferraris material and playing his own sounds, changed the original creations giving life to a new touching opera. The album, produced by Carla Chiti and Nicola Guiducci, is the live recording of the performance without any post-production"

- Autechre at their very best . . .
un-ECM-ish

If you like treated cello with a little chanting, this is free at bandcamp.
Future - Honest
I'll be surprised if I like any song this year more than I like "Move That Dope". So freakin' good.
