Guest WNS000 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 To me, melodies in general get old soon. If you don't have unique atmosphere (sounds) around it and you keep doing the melodies in the same key/mood it will become boring very fast. But that is just my opinion ofc. I have this bad property that I can remember music very quickly and very well. I can replay big chunks of many Autechre tracks in my head (including Gantz Graf and other crazy stuff). So I am very sensitive to tracks that are melody-friendly without things that can confuse you (ie interesting sounds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spptrl alt del Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 have you become tired of the melody during the latter part of LCC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WNS000 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 No, because the melody is also interesting sound-wise/texture-wise and in the interesting sounding context of the rest of the track. That is what I tried to explain here. Nothing in that track is "normal" and that is what produces the longevity imo. Not For Threes is to me still interesting because of interesting sounds and textures. Something like that. But I am not really hating new Plaid. Will still check the album. I just wish they would stay more ambitious really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chesney Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well, new track "the bee" is out there. Plenty of Bennet Walsh but ideawise and jankyness is more akin to not for threes and restproof so nothing like reachy. It does sound a bit thin on the ground so I'm not sure about it right now.

Friendly Stranger Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 nvm found it, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b079cnxy at the 48 min mark. Pretty unusual! I don't know if I'd even be able to guess this was Plaid without knowing beforehand. Not doing alot for me unfortunately :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 'The Bee' is a bit weak. Not doing much for me. Still hopeful the album will good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQQ Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 not weak at all imo, but an odd choice for a pre-album teaser. would work better in context of an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Stranger Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 yeah its under 3 minutes, pretty short track. almost an interlude. They have me super curious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chesney Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hmmm, If I was a fanboy of anyone it would be Plaid but I have to be a realist and say that i'm not feeling the bee at all. Not put off by it but I hope it's a lone wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bechuga Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't mind it at all, reminds me of Rest Proof Clockwork era stuff. I didn't like Rest Proof for a long time and then suddenly I came to really love it, especially Dang Spot. Very different from recent material, in a good way imo. Will see how it pans out on the album itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Damn! Just finding out about this, nice surprise having a new album already. I'm used to keeping up with music news with my Facebook list that includes artists, publications, and labels I like, but have slacked off in the last few weeks. Track is nice even if not surprising. Album cover is pretty shit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 My first listen to the new track. I'm diggin' it. Quite nice. Pretty little melodies throughout. Kind of similar to some tracks off reachy prints. Actually reminds me more of not for threes tbh. I would have zero complaints if the whole album was an extension or continuation of the sounds and vibe they had going in reachy prints though. I actually quite like every plaid album out there. Always solid releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coax Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 One thing that's great about The Bee is the sound, but the atmosphere and sadness of say 'Ralome' isn't quite there in the same way. Not to be a dick. I'm still super excited for the album. If there's anything about Plaid I remember it's the vivid atmospheres of the sounds and such, and the crazy notes and melodies are perfect additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesqdot Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Okay, so that artwork suddenly makes a lot more sense now. http://warp.net/news/plaid-the-digging-remedy/ Just look at that LP sleeve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
