I am the only person on /mu/ who has heard this probably

>>61815437
my choice too
>>61815690
are you serious? I love Radio but Harmony and Mirages are two leagues below Ravedeath at least

>>61817854
Tim Hecker is easily my favorite artist and I love everything he does but every tune on Mirages hits me really strongly, think its underappreciated compared to his other stuff

>>61817620

Love this album, but I prefer How I got over to it. The perfect album for ANY occasion

>>61818246
It's underappreciated, definitely, but i think Ravedeath has a lot more going on in the compositional spectrum. Mirages, even though it's one of my favorite albums, feels a little more one-dimensional. I think it's just something personal. I'm still amazed how such an obscure music style can feel relatable and be so beautiful.

listen to more music. until you do, don't participate in threads that require you to have a knowledge of music beyond /mu/core and sub/mu/core

thats like only eating rice for your entire life then posting rice in a "what's the best food of all time" thread

>>61815514
i've shed a tear or two to this album not going to lie. just sublime.

>>61822145
are you lonely

>>61822145
i partially agree but Laughing Stock and Trout Mask Replica transcend the /mu/core label. be more discerning next time you post please

>>61822185
he might be but he's also right

>>61822145
haven't commented but majority of these albums a lot of people were listening to before /mu/ core it's fucking impossible to talk about anything i once loved without assholes like you shitting up the place. You probably look like how i imagine: malnourished ,pale with a wicked sense of humor.

>>61822145
you should say what you just said to yourself, realize you sound 100% pretentious, and proceed to set yourself on fire
i bet you only like EAI or something you fucking contrarian

>>61822185
i am
>>61822230
you seriously cant think of a single non-/mu/core album that is beautiful?
>>61822233
im just trying to improve discussion. if we are going to have the same threads over and over again then we might as well post different albums for once. nothing pretentious about not wanting to be told the same thing over and over again. i do enjoy some eai but i don't understand how that makes me a contrarian.

hey now, white rice and soy/duck/hot sauce is pretty damn good

>>61822598
lol is that seriously the most beautiful album you've ever heard

>>61822522
They are amazing albums. Doesn't mean they "transcend" /mu/core. They are /mu/core. Theres nothing negative about the /mu/core moniker. It's just they get posted multiple times every day
>>61822536
Ok we can take valerian root before we listen to it too
>>61822555
Because i've seen and listened to these albums already and so has the majority of /mu/. Stop being so predictable is my complaint
>>61822570
Rice is amazing. But there's other food out there. Stuff that the majority of the population has eaten and/or heard of. And that stuff is just as good as rice.

>>61822608
i'm not the person you're responding too but i love rice, it's integral to all my favorite meals

only good answer itt

>>61822640
oh i haven't been here in a while and last i recall Laughing Stock and TMR weren't discussed at all, or if they were it was in 'i don't understand' terms. good to know they've been adopted into the canon in some ways, if more people are appreciating their beauty that's gotta be a good thing

I guess i know what you mean -- some of my other contenders would automatically be derided -- but if my most beautiful album happens to fall into /mu/core who cares? it doesn't mean i haven't heard other beautiful albums from outside the canon. you're setting up a false dichotomy

This is my pick. It's surprisingly dark, too- there are long extensions of the music Joanna doesn't portray anything but hopeless suffering
>>61815998
opening track is absolutely beautiful and devastating. You can almost hear the piano mouth "My-fool-lish heaaaarrttt" at times. It's also the finest trio interplay I can think of. It sounds like it's about to rupture throughout the whole track, but there's not one false step.

If you count live albums, their final one is even better.

Is it just me, or do you guys keep posting the same hundred or so albums, no matter what the thread topic is?

>>61834976
well it should come to no surprise that there are a select number of albums that have left a permanent imprint on /mu/ over the years, albums that appeal (and will continue to appeal) to 15-25 y.o. males stuck in various stages of general malaise, or even depression. at the end of the day "/mu/core" is a lifestyle choice like any other, packaged and sold. a series of interconnecting threads, leading nowhere

>>61835076
this is true and well written but I'd say that a significant amount of /mu/core is just straight up quality music... people around here love to hate on whatever but /mu/'s taste is actually not bad

>>61815942
that's one of their best all time songs by far
