  1. i could just imagine rdj pulling a roland out from under his bed or whatever, pushing the dust off, pressing a few buttons and making the opening of Fenix Funk 5 in about twenty seconds. just him sliding a knob or two to get those lush sweeps.
  2. Incunabula: Eggshell Windwind Autriche Kalpol Introl Bike Doctrine Crystel Basscadet Maetl Bronchus 2 444 Lowride is replaced with Crystel from the AI comp because Lowride sucks. Kalpol and Bike are still together but not at the start. 444 stays as a closer. LP5/Cichlisuite: Rae Characi Yeesland Fold4, Wrap5 Krib Acroyear2 Under BOAC Pencha 777 Arch Carrier Vose In Corc Tilapia John Callaghan - Phylactery Melve and Caliper Remote not included. instead of closing with Drane2, we follow Tilapia with John Callaghan's cover version of Tilapia because it's lovely: remember when there used to be loads of threads like these? bring back ae fanboy threads ?
  3. i had one like this two nights ago. we discovered that BoC originally made a version of Twoism that ends on side A with Melissa Juice, but continues on side B with "Melissa Juice Reprise" (maybe it was "coda") followed by early/rough versions of the Peel Session tracks. there was some deep, dream-logic idea that Boc Maxima and MHTRTC are twins, and so were these Twoism versions.
  4. there's something about the droning reverb that makes this really, really sound like saw2 ?????
  5. A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014) i'm not sure what to say about this film. i think one's ability to enjoy it depends on how you discover it, and it just happens that i recently watched a compilation of short films called Cinema 16 and Andersson's film stood out amongst the others. it seems a lot of people have trouble with the pacing, the use of still shots and the general lack of substance. i feel lucky to have some pre-warning about this (and i usually go into a film with as little info as possible) and i was ready to stop watching if things got too boring. basically you have a very talented, accomplished director setting up a scene about a couple of minutes in length, then setting up another one, and another one, and placing them all together in a sequence. the scenes don't make much sense, and they are also very mundane such that they don't benefit from surrealism. if you watch the whole thing, there are a few highlights in there which are worth seeing (no spoilers) and i guess it's up to you if you want to spend 1hr 40m getting to them. tbh i find it frustrating that Andersson uses his talents to this effect - the short film World of Glory takes the same techniques (still shots, slow pacing etc) and uses them to create a very powerful, bleak, disturbing atmosphere. whereas A Pigeon has hardly any atmosphere - whatever feeling it creates is frittered away between scenes, and any that remains is lost to the background music which is deliberately light and airy. it's one of the only films i've ever watched where the director's story of making the film is more crucial to the experience than the story which is in the film. if you watch it, be sure to watch some trailers and things.
  6. those tracks are from the Squarepusher Plays... EP. also, there's a Japanese import of FMWT with those two as bonus tracks, so this has been done before.
  7. (i have bipolar so i have quite a few of these lined up)
  8. wow. i just happened to be listening to Massive Attack - Be Thankful for What You've Got and i see this 12 year bump. i've never owned a car (at all)
  9. get a hold of yourselves, you degenerate impeciles! how dare you purport such swine as an adequate role model for the impressionable young audience amongst us. lest your vice take hold, i say! now bring on the entertainment!
  10. ^worth a watch!! autechre beats too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZlRt05RY9Y&t=1971
  11. don't forget to buy $0.03 worth of bitcoin while you're there
  12. perhaps not a troll, but a serious attempt to find out how much effort it takes to find a hidden file in there. for all we know, it could've been present for ages before Weirdcore caved in with the instructions
  13. my take on this: he's using the NFT format to test whether or not fans would notice/react to things like this, and it turns out we have. when the soundcloud activity started back in 2015, he tried to upload another artist's track (as "80s tite") to test the copyright algorithm - and it worked, sc picked it up despite it being so obscure. NFT is such a new thing, he'd be stupid not to hide files in it and guage the reaction. btw, how much did NIN fans freak out about Ghosts 37 and 38 when they were discovered? i wanna get a base line here.
  14. here's one that can give me the full ear-to-ear RDJ grin at any time of day. funnily enough, the only other tracks that put me in that mood are Luke Vibert tracks... word up to ^^^Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love. i discovered it the other day and fell head over heals with it! didn't know i was such a sucker for that aesthetic.
  15. if you ask me, there has never been a better time in history for BoC to cash in on the fact that they predated vaporwave by 20+ years. countless zoomers and audacity users could never, ever come close to this stuff: they accomplish everything vaporwave music tries to do, and they do it 1000x better at that. personally i even prefer it to OPN's Eccojams, which is the only somewhat good vaporwave album. can you imagine how awesome a full Hell Interface album could be? and they don't need to try too hard - even the recent Societas x Tape shows how casually they can hell-I-fy this orange drink commercial: i really hope the brothers know their strength. they could absolutely devour the vaporwave scene, whenever they feel like it. and the music would be awesome
  16. did this actually come from Richard, or anyone related to WARP? why did we pay so much attention to this thing?
  17. good to know. how's Banksy doing btw?
