What is it with electronic music and circles lately?

1. "Swim" - Caribou
my favorite album this year. Caribou said he wanted to make "dance music that sounds like it's made out of water". he pretty much hit the nail on the head.
listen to: "Odessa", track 1





2. "Cosmogramma" - Flying Lotus
more beautiful beats from FlyLo. my useless and contemptible genre name for this album: "laser jazz". this man is a freaking genius.
listen to: "Do the Astral Plane", track 10









3. "There is Love in You" - Four Tet
i never thought Four Tet would make an album i would enjoy more than "Rounds". i was wrong. his collaboration with Burial last year rubbed off on him (in a good way).
listen to: "Plastic People", track 8








4. "Move of Ten" - Autechre
in my opinion, the best Autechre album in a decade. more masterful metal machine music, this time with hints of dubstep and other modern movements.
listen to: "y7", track 2









5. "Cerulean" - Baths
fantastic trippy synth pop. Ocean Eyes is this album's retarded little cousin. if you like Owl City, do yourself a favor; throw that album away and listen to this instead.
listen to: "Maximalist", track 3
