BUNKUM Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I also just love the rambling epic tracks they used to produce, I haven't heard Cow yet but I just know I'm going to wish it was twice as long There's still the occasional epic ambient remix like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5xrnLMPqn4 Not listened to that yet, but 9 minutes, pah, I'm thinking 20 plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Stranger Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This album is fantastic, it's a nice return to form in my opinion. I've struggled to enjoy their tunes since Cydonia (I really like it!) Orbus Terrarum is their finest work, and they can never duplicate the quality from their nineties albums but COW will find some pretty regular rotation for me.

fumi Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Great album. When you look at it in detail, there doesn't seem to be a lot happening and yet it goes by so quickly, before you know it, you're on the last track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 listened to this earlier, but wasn't giving my full attention. was also watching the barca game at the same time. initial impressions are quite good, but not as good as moonbuilding. will stick it on again when i go to bed.

Alcofribas Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 COW is lovely - their best since Orbus Terrarum IMO Damn, I have got to listen to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Finally got round to listening to COW this morning – wow a very different beast from Moonbuilding sound wise that’s for sure. Interesting that it was released around the same time as FSOLs two Environments albums and sonically they’re really really similar – Like if you’d never heard any of the three albums and put them on shuffle you’d be hard pressed to know which track came from which artist ! It’s like Fehlmann stood back a bit and they’d drafted Cauty back in instead: Imagine making a cake with FSOL – Environments as the main batter, sprinkled in some chunks from Avalanches – Since I Left You, baked and then drizzled on some KLF – Chill Out syrup. That’s pretty much exactly this album ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The ghost of Cauty is there for sure. It's got that feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 listened to this a few more times now, it's very pleasant, but not a whole lot more.Exactly this - lots of pretty ambience, though I couldn't tell you what bit was from what track, just lots of lovely moments with nothing that sticks out as a marvellous *thing* (shh don't tell no-one - exactly what I thought with the two new FSOL albums too. Again why I compared them so!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 You should post about it in detail on the FSOLboard. We need more opinions there. It went quiet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Kinda bit self conscious knowing the boys are on there .... I'm terrible at articulating myself so will probably end up offending them even though I really liked it but just can't remember any of it (apart from a vague 'niceness' !)

purlieu Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 They read this place as well you know. I also think they have pretty thick skins. Given how often someone mentions how much they can't stand the Amorphous stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zkom Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Listened to this now a few times out of which I've fallen asleep maybe three or four times. It's great and has some of the feel of a spatial depth that UFOrb has also but with some more modern beats, etc. Yes, maybe best since Orblivion.
