  1. 1. He was releasing only for a couple of years and on Rephlex which didn't seem like a gateway to having a subforum here in practice. 2. Why the thread should be longer though, there was nothing until now. The Polyend tracker discussion happened elsewhere (EKT section). 3. I'm here at least once a day. Can't speak for others, they probably do some stupid shit
  2. The opening track is pretty epic, me vibing. Good sound sculpting all around
  3. The opening track is a banger. The style is nice and uplifting, but also exhausting -- it's a bit contradictory in effect when the setup is minimal and then it has such a wild panning of sounds like it's an attack on orientation. Anyway a welcome addition to the camp after Lazar went more rigid
  4. Yeah, fuck you Spotify until the next fuck-you-Spotify-free-advertising of the omnipresent platform. How about you stop using that bullshit!
  5. Malaysia, it seems, he became a car racer there. Was in UK possibly for education or something in early Likemind days.
  6. Reminds me to go whore myself out for pennies on the local Karl Marx street, fortunately it's 40 minutes of walk from here. There, or on the nearby Engels and Rosa Luxemburg streets i'm gonna find me a paying dick to suck. Focking bourgeoisie
  7. https://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/interviews/the-musical-score-is-the-worst-thing-that-ever-happened-in-the-history-of-music-mark-fell- Here's the short article in question (thanks for mentioning). He criticizes a method of composing that is alien to him based on the work which he nevertheless loves, so i don't think he's trolling, just leaves a space for non-dogmatic thinking on both sides. It seems to me a continuation of earlier Fell's essay, where he describes two ways of doing music: knowing exactly what you want to do and the opposite situation, his preferred one https://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/essays/collateral-damage-mark-fell
  8. fixt I demand a subforum for Mark Fell & Rian Treanor, the first IDM dynasty
  9. Yeah, the album is solidly put together, among my favourite this year. I'm still on the in the ciliary copse boat, also like the r-process groove a lot. Cool sounds, cool patterns, concise and varied yet stylistically consistent selection, that's how to do albums
  10. Seems legit: Good conspiration effort too
  11. By using fractional digit they're making the same argument (of a self-irony sort, it doesn't matter if it's intentional), as in "giving scores is dumb so we'll do it with fractional digits". Having that settled, it makes their scores useful to not have to read their watery reviews. Your score is helpful too, for example. Then there's an "art" in your attack, when in fact it's called music in this case, assigning a sort of higher and more general level to it. Not any "art" is art, not any music is artful, so to speak. A lot of it already at home in the "dumb" category
  12. Solid work, lotta cool melodic unhurried burners on a matured 90s idmz framework with good variety (i wasn't personally feeling it until the middle of the record at tracks 7-8, this is not even a one street journey). Local peeps should check out, so posting in a thread
  13. Both tracks are enjoyable. Particularly, tasty acido croaking in inspirals, funky electro groove in in the ciliary copse -- the second one is probably my favourite and pretty deep diving with classy touches and just slightly offbeat
  14. We got Sean-god's second coming correcting a brief Belgian interview for getting it wrong about Radiohead etc. and then we post a translation of a translation from Japanese by non-native Japanese speaker a size of a fucking novel, i applaud this shit! Apostles Ju & Ja, is this canon? Sean-god? (cheers for good work, excuse my tone, not a fan of them chitchat interviews with bullshit ideas thrown in, the 1000th time of recalling the origins story, what do younguns listen to nowadays from a UK nursing home perspective, black producers are nerds like academics and sheeit i be telling ya)
  15. These are equally as mediocre, the idea itself is pretty hacky
  16. Poor labour folk like me can't afford the forum fees to have the privilege to delete posts. Not saying that i'd do it, i'd prefer the guillotine
  17. I'm against eating the Chinamen -- not tasty, yellowish and disgusting, White imperialist Americans on the other hand -- yummy! Especially women, lotta good parts.
  18. All i see is a totally bullshit praise written in stupid slang (calling anything remarkable genius worn out, so now everybody's the greatest ever) and some mildly critical comments almost a decade ago. This Ocean maggot received more than enough attention to guard him instead of concentrating on someone less fortunate.
  19. It's an abbreviation of Ask Me Anything that got popular thru reddit, out of subforum celebs Chris Clark did one there, and Autechre did one here. Drunken AMA is in fact ADMA, which is Ask Drunken Me Anything. Why do assholes do this is a ghey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/IAmA

    To me it's a bit unfocused bunch of segments, sorta going thru the motions with fussy beats, acid gurgling etc (as in producing the track knowingly but uninspiringly) and i don't like the wandering melodies which are so strikingly switch to some, yet i really love that trembling passage starting at 4:52 with the new melody introduction and rotating in varying phrases until the piano outro. It makes the track shine. That 90s, Tri Rep type of talking percussive layer in the beginning gives off a nostalgic vibe and with a lof of sudden changes the track almost feels like a summary of sorts
  21. It's been seriously discussed for years involving academics, it seems, so we can only judge by the result. Currently i agree. If there's a known way how to minimize power consumption 100x times (if not in ETH then in other similar crypto), that is not something you can say about other power-hungry alternative industries (and crypto is alternative to fiat money at least, which is something that's in need to be addressed, hence Satoshi's white paper in 2008). It's not like these people you mention decide on the path, it's still a competitive field. Same energy is a process condition, the process itself won't be abandoned without NFT as it existed in the same way before NFT. The "every dollar put" argument is on a larger scale of necessity of using crypto at all, and that depends on your assessment of fiat money which is bullshit and pyramidal as well and possibly coming to a collapsing crisis, and we have nothing better than crypto for viable substitution. (I can't) I'm talking about applying the enviromental critique to the fresh industry which in order to become influential enough has to play by the same rules the old industries were built on, while it's not the new one who created the presumably bad situation. By denying them the opportunity to be dirty for a while, we only defend the status quo. The ecological solution is only possible being implemented by the old players and they were not ecological the whole time.
