Does anyone actually read this thread, or do they just post on it as a confirmation of what they listened to that day?

Someone explain this thread to me.

Hugues Dufourt - Les Hivers

2001 concert recording. fucking amazing.

Dufourt’s music is predominantly slow, often confined to limited dynamics and free of any descriptive elements (though the latter may sometimes briefly surface). It slowly unfolds as some labyrinthine ritual, and makes its points through subtle dynamic shadings, refined harmony and telling instrumental groupings without ever resorting to thematic or contrapuntal working of any sort. The most remarkable thing about it, I think, is that despite the acute intellectual conception "behind the music" it is quite gripping and calmly communicative, though it only yields its secrets on repeated hearings. I am in no doubt that Les Hivers is a major musical achievement of the late 20th Century. - Hubert Culot

Vashti Bunyun - Look Aftering

Really enjoyed the new album, a great pleasure to find her gorgeous voice has aged well. Our daughter falls asleep on a nightly basis to "Just Another Diamond Day". If you ever want to get a worked-up toddler to sleep, that's the medicine right there.

Last night I listened to David Sylvian & Robert Fripp's The First Day for the first time.

That was great. Why hadn't I heard of this one before? -looks at the cover- Ok, maybe that's why :)

Now: Mastercuts Classic Electro vol. 1 compilation.
