    Untilted was 2005, no?

    Correct.

     

    Shit, feels like ages ago. But it still has arguably the most aggressive percussion of any release. I still remember that transition in LCC when the track starts to break from the drum loop and goes full-on attack mode just before it relaxes into that slow, old school hip hop style beat and the pads kick in. How tf they managed to sequence that is incredible.

    I remember some breakcore producer (Venetian Snares probably) saying this is one of their favourite albums. And I don't wonder because the drum programming is just fucking incredible.

     

    Also generally it has that feel like being done on an old school tracker with the minute details all manually worked in. The dryness and crunchiness just adds to the feeling.

    Fuck off

    More likely that it was C&C Music Factory, La Bouche, and Ace of Base.

    Reminds me of that Autechre tv interview and the euroclub bit, lol.

    Third time I have traveler's diarrhea in a month.. And two of them were quite bad, felt like dying but the whole thing went away in a matter of hours. WTF? Today I was like sweating a ton, my stomach cramping, even my back cramping, hands getting all tingly, getting dizzy and shit and I was thinking should I call a fucking ambulance or what. And then it was mostly over in like 2 hours and I could even go to a restaurant five hours later for a dinner without a problem except still sweating a quite bit more than usually (well it's over +30C here and no AC in the restaurant).

    Yeah, sure also there are examples on the opposite end like how Italian fascists used pretty minimalist graphic expression in some of the posters.

     

    But just occured to me when looking at the propaganda posters in Vietnam just yesterday that a lot of communist posters are pretty simple as opposed to something like that Trump painting and it felt like a bigger trend between right vs left.

     

    Just sort of interested in the psychology of why some people turn right or left wing and if it somehow correlates with aesthetic preferences..
