Hoping that the bit-rate improves from 128 kbps to 192 kbps (which is apparently what the embedded web player and the apps use). An alternative is to stream via the app and cast it to a bluetooth audio device. --Geoff 2

Just gave it a spin and yeah it's a pretty good listen. Wouldn't this be more shoegaze than darkwave but then again im hopeless with all of today's genres (used to be much simpler in the old days lol). Thanks for the recommendation. 1

I think they call it darkwave as it is based around synths. Guitar based is shoegaze. Some fans of either are not fans and of both - not me thou. In the end, doesn't really matter. anyway, check this chick out - damn fine Maya Jane Coles – Take Flight - 3 LP set from the English/Japanese Maya - superb downtempo trip hop - just the music for groovin to on an afternoon.

Not my usual cup of tea but really enjoying it for the times when I know I'm going to be too indecisive to choose something else. 1
Janjuggler Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Hi All, I have gone back to the early 70s for what was called 'Krautrock', Kraftwerk, Radio-Activity From Wikipedia: The term "krautrock" was coined by British music journalists in the early 1970s as a humorous umbrella label for the diverse German scene, though many so-labeled artists disliked the term. The movement was partly born out of the student movements of 1968, as German youth sought a unique countercultural identity and popular music distinct from American pop and traditional German music. The period contributed to the development of ambient music and techno, and influenced subsequent genres such as post-punk, new-age music, and post-rock. JJ 2 1

It's very interesting if you're into that sort of music at all.
metal beat Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Leftfield – Rhythm And Stealth. original 1999 US pressing. underrated darker 2nd album and just as enjoyable as their landmark 1st. Still sounds fresh as. Playing this LOUD pins you to the back wall with its dynamics and attack 6
hired goon Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Phobium - A Binary Relation -- a 30 minute track of squelchy acid goodness. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp. --Geoff 1
att23 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Love the artwork of the Back to Mine series. Similar to those adult colouring books in bookstores nowadays. Music selection is top choice too. 2
metal beat Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Nocturnal Sunshine - I have just discovered Maya Jane Coles so on a bit of a musical journey - This is her dubstep side project from 2015 - absolutely hypnotic, dark and wonderful. check it out. 3

The record I have of this is pressed really well. None- to - very little surface noise to speak of and SQ is great. Hope you had the same luck! 1
ericd Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I've just started exploring the catalogue of this label sm-ll. Certainly isn't something with broad appeal, but I love it! Generally tends to be repetitive, sparse, employing a relatively limited sound pallette. You'll either love it instantly, or go 'huh?' To me, this kind of thing is the 'point' of electronic music. An example: https://sm-ll.bandcamp.com/album/zimn-kr-l
