  1. New Pan American out today. Ambient with nice dreamy guitars. A pleasant listen. Bamdcamp
  2. Aaaah. Those were the days. Heavy rotation around midnight on MTV Alternative Nation. When it was released I just met this girl I liked. I tried to explain Aphex Twin to her, but she didn´t get it. I ended up marrying her anyway. I´m so old.
  3. The Quake/Quake2 +extensions pack offers are really hours and hours and hours of fun for almost nothing.
  4. It´s formulaic Four Tet. Personally I would like a more edgy and less "background-music" album, but it´s a pleasant listen. Fav track: 31 bloom.
  5. Just finished The Last of Us 2. Great game. A bit slow on the story telling.
  6. Can you help me pick out the best tracks from Aleksi Perälä released after 2010? Make a playlist with 20 songs ChatGPT: Sure, Aleksi Perälä is known for his unique blend of electronic music, particularly within the realm of techno and ambient. Here's a playlist featuring some of his best tracks released after 2010: Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1512110 Aleksi Perälä - GBLFT1740074 Aleksi Perälä - NLL561606931 Aleksi Perälä - FI3AC2170000 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1516110 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1406097 Aleksi Perälä - NLL561606932 Aleksi Perälä - NLL561606933 Aleksi Perälä - NLL561606934 Aleksi Perälä - FI3AC2170001 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1512120 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1409052 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1516120 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1512111 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1406098 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1516111 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1512121 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1409053 Aleksi Perälä - UK74R1516121 Aleksi Perälä - FI3AC2170002 These tracks span various releases and showcase Perälä's diverse approach to electronic music, incorporating elements of ambient, techno, and experimental sounds. Enjoy your playlist!
  7. The only good thing about this half assed, chopped up, chipmunk vocals and spraycan rattle collage bullshit, is that it made me listen to old Prodigy b-sides again.
  8. Happy to see Bjørn Svin getting some love. Big fan of his two first albums, but Browen struck me as a bit minimalist and monotonous back in the days. Maybe I should give it a new spin.
  9. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with PF, but I’ve visited the site at least a couple of times a week for twenty years. Pompous and arrogant, but gave a shit. Good description. I will miss it.
  10. https://pitchfork.com/news/iasos-pioneer-of-new-age-music-has-died/ Suggested album for those interested in New Age Ambient
  11. As MENTIONED by others. Go to bed Norwegian spellcheck. You are drunk!
  12. I love most of her stuff. As menyikoner by others, Let England Shake is very good. Hope six was kind of a letdown, but check out the track called «The Wheel». One of her best, IMO.

  14. Out yesterday. Three listens, and I hate to say it, but a slight disappointment. On the positive side, it made me want to listen to old Biosphere records. Fav track: Delta Funktion.
  15. I started watching CYE two times but quit after a few episodes. Then I started for the third time, and binged the whole thing. You just gotta accept the CYE universe.
  16. Quite different from his previous output. More uptempo, almost dancefloor friendly. Tribal dub perhaps? I like it!
  17. Has CN said anything about the ambitions/difference behind his series? Halfway through this album, and it could be a Xerrox imo.
  18. I just finished reading The Blood Meridian. What an amazing book. It makes me wanna start a third RDR2-playthrough and watch old western movies. But what are YOUR favorite movies/series of the genre? I would like somthings that´s still solid in 2023. I prefer gritty stories over hero stories. I would also like tips about historic books about the whole American frontier era. Something like the Wiki-article with maps and illustrations.
  19. Justified (original series). Three episodes in, and I´m totally clueless how this has a 8.6 IMDB-rating. The plots in the episodes are almost laughable, and especially the acting in S1E3 reminds me about the old soap operas. Surely this has to get better eventually?
  20. I used to ba a fan but fell of the Aleksi train a long time ago. I just can´t keep up with 10+ releases every year. Are the releases under the same name connected in any way? Vibe, software, genre? If I live GAIA 15, will I probably like all GAIAs?
  21. I guess you could do that if you moved to a low cost country. Leyland Kirby lives in Poland, and seem to make a living out of making music. For EOD? No chance of make a decent living out of 1000 dedicated fans residing in Norway. An old acquaintance of mine quit a very good job in public radio and moved to Berlin around 2010 to make a living of making music. He has managed to do that since, mostly because of excessive DJing and affordable costs. I´m happy for him, but wonder what it will be like when he turns 50? 60? Anyway. I searched for this topic because I wondered what Wisp do these days. Probably a boring job and a family. But can he please release some of his old stuff on bandcamp?
