Arca / Arca and Narkopop were great, Death Peak was ok, AZD was mediocre

I think both actress and clark did well with their new releases.

I personally preferred RIP to ghettoville for its sterility and pure synthetic feeling and AZD feels more like this. It's definitely not going to be to everyone's taste.

Clark is downright gorgeous. This is the first album of his I'd heard but I went back through his older stuff and this seems to be the best or at least the most immediately lovable.

Narkopop is amazing and I think it'll be hard to contend. Finally after the avalanches, hanl, and mbv had underwhelming comebacks Voight actually come through with some incredible work. I think it's probably testament to the intellectual rigor of his music. he understands how to make good music rather than intuiting it.

I like it a lot. I think it's much better than Ghettoville. Really digging the UK urban feel to it.

>Narkopop
It won't top his previous work but I like it a lot. I like how Voigt mixes the Zauberberg sound with his more recent solo work.

I haven't listened to it. Is it worth a listen?

Narkopop is blissful, great comeback record without missing a beat. Death peak feels like a continuation of what clark's done on his self-titled, but sounds more accessible. It was enjoyable, a lot of pretty synths on it. AZD is my favourite of the three, love that the sound is more like splazsh&RIP but still manages to go in new, interesting directions (especially faure in chrome)

I wouldn't call Narkopop a comeback album, at least not in the sense like the artists you've named. Voigt was never absent from music, he just stopped working under the name Gas but his sound was constantly progressing in those 17 years from Pop to Narkopop. Check out "Rückverzauberung 10 / Nationalpark (2015)" it sounds a lot like Narkopop and even a bit like Gas.

Yeah, you're right about that. I never looked into his other work all that much, thanks for the rec!

AZD is underrated. Not sure what the Actress backlash is about desu.

Haven't listened yet, excited.

I'm probably as big a Voigt fan as you'll find on this Earth, and it gets a thumbs up from me. It abandons many of the original Gas projects key components, in example I find myself missing the obvious techno thumping that riddled the older works, but anybody who's followed Voigt recently knows that he's changed. Might be my AOTY.

VERY good. I loved Clark's Selftitled album, and this album might just be even better. Tracks like Slap Drones are pure ear candy.
