Friendly Stranger Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yes!!!! So happy, just finished the morning side. I'm an unabashed fanboy his music has always just done it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 The album's fucking great! With this, Artifacts, and new John Beltran tomorrow I'm swamped with 2015 tuneage once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Stranger Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Love both sides but Evening is superb. Just had an evening pipe and beer on the porch listening to it and it put me in a more peaceful state of mind than I've been in for quite a while.

Kooch Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So much better than his last album which I hated!Loved Pink and There Is Love In You best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks for the heads-up. Playing now. I can't say I punch the air and howl at the moon when I think of Four Tet, but his stuff is always worth checking out. This seems rather wonderful, I have a soft spot for Indian vocals/music anyway and I was pleasantly surprised when they suddenly drifting out the speakers. Rather cool. I can't imagine not liking the evening side he's on the same form. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yeah I'm with Friendly Stranger in liking the Evening side more right now, think it'll prove to be the more popular side too, the vox on Morning are very cool but not for everyone I bet. By the way, no idea what the singer is saying there (the sample sources will be widely known soon no doubt), but she really adds a bittersweet touch to the first track.Final note, those who already don't like the extent to which he sometimes takes sampling, lifting entire sections from other tracks, are not going to like this release at all.

Drix Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 This is a great release, and although they both are good I have a soft spot for Evening Side for now as a favourite. It has a little bit of everything and is almost and album in itself, condensed of everything from ambient, experimental and house music, and it works perfectly! I think Morning Side could be a bit much on repeated listens, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The long tracks are intimidating. I haven't checked this out yet. It's dumb too because I have no problem sitting through an entire album consisting of shorter songs, but type of album format is always a bit daunting. Also I'm more a fan of his earlier work, even though I enjoyed Beautiful Rewind more than There Is Love in You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Just played Morning, sat in the garden in the sunshine. It's such a perfect tune for me, and I'm more than happy to give it a 10/10. I just love every single second of it. Thanks Mr Hebden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Stranger Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I can't lie, this is my favorite album of the year so far. Still quite a ways to go but this hits me on several different levels. A truly great summer album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cult fiction Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Given it two listens so far, pretty lush although my mind tends to drift a lot while listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 I also hope he releases that 'Back 2 The Start' Cheryl Cole track someday. I don't really expect it to be on this album but hey you never know. He's just released it on Soundcloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Went to see him dj at Pukkelpop yesterday, surprisingly dancey set and from the matching visuals it looked mostly planned. It really suited the festival environment though and everyone was loving it.Opened with an unknown Indian vocal intro in the style of Morning/Evening and then a seemingly endless version of the unreleased Percussions 'Digital Arpeggios'. That remix of Eric Prydz' Opus that he's been hinting at was in there as well and it's quite a monster. Pyramid rework and a more beat-heavy version of Morning towards the end. Great show really, I could have handled a lot more than 90 minutes of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
