@analog brother yes killer tracks! I saw him perform live recently with about a 6 piece synth band, this:

it was incredible

 

edit: BFC is a moniker I hadn't heard of though, that one is a bit before my time.

Brilliant, thank you

Quantum Sonic - Quantum Sonic -- described as "time machine techno" and if yer after a trip back to the halcyon days of the early 1990s then this is totes yer bag. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp.

Pale Sketcher. 

Dark, foreboding and enveloping. Who would have thought that someone who started out playing in a grindcore group could produce something this beautiful.

This gets my pick for Aussie day techno tune.

Salt Mines is a Melbourne label I have been digging on for a while. They only release on vinyl.

deep, lush tech and house

bit of an acid didge and some clapsticks going on here.

yeah it's great

he is from Perth and put out a handful of records back in the day, on a label called Red Ember. Then disappeared for years, and has just come out with a ton of new stuff over the last couple of years, and it's all really good.

been spinning a lot of Trentemoller lately, no one does it quite like him. He put out some classic tracks early 2000's.

 

 

Priest - New Flesh

 

Lovers of old school electronica needs to check this album out. To me it probably best reminds me of early Depesh Mode. Killer debut release this is. Check it out!

 

 

 

Seems I'm not alone in this view as they have just been awarded best Swedish  synth act for 2017

thanks - Loved the synths, but the vocals /voice grated me for some reason - will have another listen later this week.   If you like this you will luv Cold Case - his vocals are a lot deeper.   waiting patiently for the new Soft Moon to arrive.

 

totally different synth in being slower and more modern pop.  Sohn - Rennen on 4ad

another absolutely stunning track on Salt Mines out of Melbourne. I cannot get enough of this label atm.

Killer electro, digging back on a 90's feel but super refined.

Hyms - Water Acid, Salt Mines 005 [2017]

 

Richard H Kirk - Dasein.   new album from the ex Cabaret Voltaire keyboard wiz.   sounds like the cover - dark, brooding, driving electronica.  Tis very good.

 

RumTum ; Mora Tuga

Electronic beats with excellent production, and now a name your price download on Bandcamp, whoo!

https://rumtum.bandcamp.com/album/mor-tug

sadly this artist passed away a few years ago .. so talented . produced some future garage ..down tempo ..Deep Dubstep 

 

one of my fav albums from the last few years .. manu shrine - annutara ash

Edited February 11, 20188 yr by analog brother

probably posted this before... however great "re imagining" of a Barry Adamson track from A Certain Ratio!

 

 

 

 

FSOL - Lifeforms

 

Finally the reissue of this classic album is here. A little worried as it was released on Universal, but the SQ seems to be even better than The Orbs and Orbital's reissues.

 

A very quiet pressing by Optimal Media. Probably just a repress. Deep & low bass, clear, spacious and dynamic sound. A long wait but it's worth the wait after all. Very happy to finally have this album on vinyl.
