I'm praying for a January booster pack sale. Getting £65 worth of d/l for £50 is good - but once you get used to "double bubble" as I have for the last six months... Double Bubble" by the way is what we used to call our pay for working Sunday or overnight. Any U.S. or Euro equivalent? (This was two decades before zero hours contracts of course!)
Not sure if this album has been covered here or not. But it's amazing. It's on the Whitelabrecs bandcamp page, which it shares with one of the A Closer Listen top ten albums...

- Not that I know of, but as self-employed, I'm probably not the right person to answer.
Current 93 - There Is A Graveyard That Dwells In Man
Ray BLK won the prestigious BBC Sound of 2017 award last week for new artists. She's unsigned by any label, but you can download this free from Bandcamp. Worth a listen. Previous award winners include Adele and Sam Smith.
SHABISTARI’S GARDEN Music for a Ballet, performed in 1999 - 2000
All
notes are created by mathematical algorithms – I call them fractals,
because they are created the way nature creates fractals. Even the rhythmical patterns are mathematical algorithms. The freedom is in enacting and dressing up: • Defining the textures by choosing samplings of natural sounds. • Choosing tempo, dynamics, effects, • Choosing articulation from staccato to absolute legato • Transposing streams of notes.
She performs the song "Black is the Colour" on one of my favorite albums of 2015, Matt Owens "The Aviators' Ball." I swear, the way she sings on that song, I'd rob banks for her if she gave me the command in verse like that. Giving her 2012 release a spin. Not all the music is up my alley, but damn can she sing. A version of "Black is the Colour" is the last track on the album. Fucking mesmerizing.
The title translates to: "The sound of the revelation of the Divine"
". . .Throughout Der Klang, Sveinsson envelops the listener in
ravishing string and vocal textures. The choral writing in "Teil II" and
"III" might vaguely call to mind sacred Renaissance music or the Bach Passions,
but distilled into a stark expanse of slow-moving chords. (In his
previous role as keyboardist for Sigur Rós, Sveinsson contributed choral
and orchestral arrangements to the band’s albums prior to his departure
in 2013; Der Klang’s seductive sonorities call to mind the expansive serenity of Sigur Rós’s early successes.) . . ."
I found this at the Internet Archive; not sure if it's "approved" or not, but since this isn't really available otherwise... it does seem to have been there a good while... there's actually quite a bit of Aphex stuff there...
