  1. I don't get this way of comparing, does it mean that Thom has bigger dick than BoC brothers? If you compare such categories then talk about records or songs, I may even agree
  2. That's not a proper perspective: the music of "3000 years" was developing in a different frame altogether, now known as tradition, on a far lesser scale, basically villages. This whole progress thing is a matter of specific Western culture that exists probably for 300-400 years. A lot have happened in those years, in every generation, in far lesser circles of enthusiasts. Regarding technology -- the fastest technological development happened in these 20 years with global internet, but music got almost nothing out of it. Acoustic to digital is not in any way an unprecedented progress in music terms, it has very little to show musically (arguably). Anyway, I don't expect it to continue, simply reacted to question of why "acid" (or any 80/90s genre) is back again and again. Chasing novelty is indeed a trap
  3. All music is largely in stasis mode last 15-20 years, no new genres, constant re-use of previous stylistic achievements
  4. It makes sense, both have schizo tendencies, take the song Jesus Lord from Donda: Kanye is self-proclaimed Yeezus and Anna Lord is AFX, Kanye delivers the gospel, AFX the hair.
  5. It mostly stays in the same lane as the original, updating the sound (successfully in my view, tho not a fan of the original) -- a different approach to the Oberman one which was like a new track. It's not in Ae style, but it has Ae treatment of all components. It's alright to me, not a hit, not a miss
  6. For a commie Zeff is such an elitist, trying to death-conceptualize the most banal processes. Though I guess it's normal since most of leftist over-thinking stems from up-its-ass academia Is there a way un-boomer yourself, you ask? First world problems!
  7. You lot still seething over Trump lol "must be killed" boo boo boo "saved from autocracy" boo boo "Trump Jr so miserable" boo boo boo Let it go
  8. Looks pretty warm in there, everybody's in shirts and only Sean Anthony is sweating under that. I think he's an outsider like us (right? right?)
  9. The hot one gets the aute and the mediocre one gets the chre (you decide which is which) For those who missed: During 4utechre streams Sean Anthony wrote that Robert John ("Rob") is open to doing twitch streams some time in the future. edit: and that he will make a separate channel for it
  10. Pretty fiery beat for Vince Staples, unfortunately no instrumental, but there's a separate demo (before adding hats and the trap alike)
  11. M.Y.S.L.B. productions was mentioned on their first EP sleeve (third line in the picture), the logo is the same. The channel gotta be legit as it's suggested by 4utechre page, anyway
  12. Thanks for the list, though I don't agree with the implication that this is the highlight in need of a larger context, even if we're going with more conventionally moving compositions. Der Zyklus - Formenverwandler & AIR - Le Soleil Est Pres De Moi (Dopplereffekt Remix) are no less groovy, you can make such a list with Gerald Donald productions only.

    draft 7.30

    Thanks, it may seem like a critical view, yet I regard Draft as almost my favourite LP (I prefer thinking in separate tracks rather than albums) -- I'm just always in doubt about it, it sounds great & terrible at the same time. And not because it's "out there" or "experimental", on the contrary, its stylistic ambitions feel normal. For one, they didn't tour at all (maybe coincidental, tho it happened only once before 'rona?), and the title is suspicious: "draft", "30th version". Anyway, if it turns out it was the most joyful production experience, it won't change the character of the record -- I'll be finding other words to describe the uneasiness.

    draft 7.30

    I think it's their most "try hard" album: a situation of creative deadend being full-forcefully overcomed. Gives off this struggling and over-produced feeling. It's kinda the best one with doubts
  15. IDM is White male supremacist, i'm really sorry. Fuck that forum based on these ratings alone (we're not mainstream pop no, we're reputable pop). It's probably good idea to make something similar on WATMM, to open eyes -- tho we've had an album of the year threads which showed tolerable IDM results all in all.
  16. It was akshly Robert John who dropped the cheesy line towards it, reflexive of his old pads, I presume
  17. Looking at the top it seems very fleeting, heavy US left-liberal political bias (movement-schmoovement), thanks i'll pass and this shitty journal can suck dick, along with Bob Dylan & Rolling Stones
  18. Didn't know he released that one too, heard it in the same live with Simplicity, my another fave this one then, thanks. It sounds like he re-used the drum pattern on More Human from Ex Machina (2007) https://artofvengeance.bandcamp.com/track/more-human
  19. Yah, it's good and properly balanced, unfortunately he soon became a sort of normie melodic tech producer. Tho my favourite track from him is not on Revisited and came a couple of years later, a sort of mid ground between sensitive minimalist Detroitism on Transmat and all-out poppy disco-trance vibes that came later. It's also self-aware in lyrics "Clarity. Simplicity. Perfection" I'm reminded not of Sterac, but another Dutch dood Joris Voorn's early stuff (It ain't Our World), it's also faster and clubbier, but has the same type of construction:
  20. I think they were already mentioned in this thread, indeed an intriguing angle. Anyway, it happens to be this label's 5th anniversary, so they do a 50% discount until October 1. damirat is Kim Changhee and Shin Sung Hoon and they have other & solo releases as well.
  21. The message is alright, the mice didn't try to fit in despite failure, followed the ambition to success and got to the individual conclusion that family is more valuable.

    The Tuss

    That's a beautifully precise write-up that I identify with. XMAS_EVE, I feel, is a blockbuster pop-friendly version of the same kind of energy and the epilogue part is a refusal to stop pouring it (the preceding bells part is also problematic in keeping it focused). I would say this is a sublimation of experience rather than distraction.
