MINIMAL WAVE/MINIMAL SYNTH

>>68151635
What's the difference between the two?

>>68151665
Not much really, but some people prefer to call less poppy minimal albums Minimal Synth.

>>68151665
wave is just a retrospective term assigned to synthpop/synth-heavy post-punk music that was stripped-down or sparse compared to other works in the genre, minimal synth takes that to the extreme and eschews things like complexity in songwriting or structure in favor of pure synth

any good minimal releases this year? i've been looking through a lot of EPs and couldn't find anything that great

>>68151806
The same here, I have a collection and all but I don't have any active artists to follow

>>68151806
OP here, same here, last year's November Novelet was good but I haven't found anything memorable this year.

>>68151635
End Of Data - Sahrah
Ensemble Pittoresque - For This Is Past
Dark Day - Exterminating Angel and Window
Damon Edge - The Wind Is Talking
Steven Grandell - Animal Angst (essential)
Nun s/t
And you should probably throw in Suicide s/t for good measure

>>68151635
Oppenheimer Analysis - New Mexico
The Units - Digital Stimulation
Picky Picnic - Picnic Land
Laurie Anderson - Big Science
Suicide - s/t
Dark Day - Window
Martin Rev - s/t?

with the suicide suggestions it might not be a bad idea to throw in a soft cell album since they basically started as a suicide tribute band

their first EP, non-stop erotic, or (preferably) this last night in sodom would be good picks

>>68151912
>November Novelet
I really can't take them serious after seeing their videos

>>68151635
Needs fireside favorites, the objectively best minimal wave/synth album next to suicide

>>68151635
good on you for having flesh on there

What's the best entry-level album for minimal wave? Pretty much anything on OP's chart?

>>68152388
You could start with the Andie Oppenheimer or The Minimal Tapes in OP's chart (both amazing), or if you're generally unfamiliar with synth music then start with:
>Suicide - Suicide
>Fad Gadget - Fireside Favorites
>The Human League - Reproduction
If you're into the sound it's really rewarding to get into, it's a surprisingly prolific genre and a lot of releases are really consistently good aesthetically + sonically

>>68152388
I'd say space museum or new mexico.

>>68151635
Wow real neat entry level middling dross there OP cool it's cool to make useless charts cool

>>68152514
what would you suggest instead of being a faggot then, he literally says in the OP that he purposefully chose dancier release

>>68152480
>>68152492
Thank you both, I'll have a listen soon

>>68152514
Piss off you cunt. At least he's doing something good.

>>68151983
Suicide is more Synthpunk than Minimal Wave imo

>>68152588
>good

If HTRK and Tropic of Cancer are my only exposures to minimal wave, should I try the OP stuff out?

>>68153168
t. embryo

>>68153168
This shit's not really too similar to HTRK, and it sounds cheaper and sparser than Tropic of Cancer, but check it out you might like it.

>>68153168
tropic of cancer alone should have you set, yeah

>>68153191
>>68153206
