BaggerMcGuirk Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just got this. I'm sort of surprised by how much I'm into this. Probably the best thing I've heard all year that isn't AFX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blir Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's a brill album, far better than his last one which had some good tracks but was kind of naff. I love Television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is really good. Yeah, loving the dark vibes here, very much in the vein of sandwell dist, tBd, surgeon, etc. Wouldn't have expected it from his last album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascdi Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Personality is one of my favorite albums of all time. This one is nice techno, but is not fully grabbing me so far. It’s definitely a turn back toward a more minimal, “darker” sound after the DIVA VOX ravesplosion of Personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokn Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah I liked Personality as well but lost track of everything else... too much same sounding tech house stuff without heart or soul. though you are hyping this one i will probably check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 never really quite understood the appeal of Scuba, what am I missing? his music sounds like marginally above average electronic music consisting of sounds that sound indistinguishable from presets. Then again his dubstep stuff also seemed a little bland too. I remember people in here were very harsh on a Blacdog album of sort of retro throwback house/techno, so its sort of strange to see the love in here for something like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascdi Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Well, I don’t listen to Scuba for “sound design”, per se. At least in the sense of “presets” vs. “non-presets”. But I do think he’s one of my favorite producers in terms of making albums that sound amazing. I mean, enough from me about Personality, but turned up loud on a good sound system that album sounds like a million bucks. It’s thoroughly well-produced—it has elements that suggest “analogue”-style production or effects, as well as elements that are clearly hyper-precise and “digital”. It’s just a big, wide, deep, full-frequency sound with interesting details everywhere. It’s suggestive of throwback “rave” feelings—as was the rage for a while, but executed in a thoroughly modern way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublename Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'll have to give Personality a another listen, it didn't land at all for me at the time. I recall violently loathing that record, even though Scuba is my dude otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Never really got aboard with Personality mainly b/c it was such a sharp turn from his earlier stuff up to that point; I know every self-respecting producer had to come up with their own dubstep escape plan, but this was just, well...

Richie Sombrero Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 He blocked me on twitter as I called Personality trance hahaha. He came across as a complete tool on it too, always moaning that his life wasn't luxe enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
