SM001 …wasn’t having a pop mate, just lol’ing at the fact that ’isn’t terrible’ was enough to get a track posted up here! (tbh I didn’t actually listen yet)
alistair …I think ‘beach hammock’ might apply to the likes of Lost Desert, GHIZ etc, and not all of that stuff appeals to me, but the likes of Volen Sentir, Mohrr/Valdovinos, Tim Green etc. are way more housey/hypnotic and much more up my street. Anyway, point being I would’t give up on a label based on a couple of their artists when a healthy percentage of their output has been quality for the last couple of years.
I’ve heard some OK stuff on Afterlife too by the way, I just find a lot of the nu-prog producers very samey and tend to gravitate towards the housier end of things.
