That didn't age well.

Is AE_STORE basically bleep? Should I choose AE_STORE to give S&R more of my money, or is it just the same?

Sweet lord. And a SIGN+PLUS bundle for me!

I just put on Pisces Iscariot and this is a trip down memory lane as well. I forgot how good this compilation is. I never bothered to dig in to The Aeroplane. Think I'll have to make me a playlist right now.

For me, Siamese Dream is the obvious musical peak for SP. A stone cold rock classic. 62 mins of pure bliss. I understand those who call Mellon Collie bloated, and I could easily(?) remove 40 mins of it to make it fit on a sincle cd or something. But I mean... look at the title, the coverart, the pretentiousness, the almost delusional whole package of it. It's almost unheard of. It came out two weeks before my 18th birthday. And never before or even after, has a band I felt so connected to released such a grand concept album. I had high hopes for Adore, but the cringey lyrics and the latex emo style just put me off. I've tried to listen to their more recent output but it's so unbelieveably poor compared to the Gish-Siamese-Mellon Collie era, imo.

This. When I listen to a OPN album I find it mildly fascinating. Now and then he finds the sweet spot, but every time it's over way too soon. It's like a twenty second cocktease followed by a punch to the nose over and over for 40 mins. Long road home is kinda promising, so I'll give the album a go. I don't get it. He is getting more progressively "concepty" and "arty" but ran out of ideas a long time ago? I found Konoyo to be full of new ideas both in terms of build ups, use of instruments, and so on. A bit "concepty", I agree, but still amazing soundscapes and melodies, IMO. Listen to the latest releases by Com Truise or Lorn. It's like they make the same track over and over. Thats what lacking new ideas means to me. Gotta give artists credits for exploring new fields.

Not sure if mentioned before but the podcast "Rabbit Hole" by NYT is pretty good. QAnon, PewDiePie, radicalizing through youtube and more.

Wonderful album. Exactly what I need right now. Can't really remember the last time a new AE-release made me so satisfied. As always, it's not for everyone, but that Guardian-review is kinda cringeworthy. "Crowded dystopian soundworld?" No one else is in Autechres soundworld, you lazy prick. "Negative space?" Can't imagine a more positive space tbh.

I like the quietus review. As a hardcore fanboi for +20 years I should have been in heaven for the last couple of years. Five elseqs? 8 hrs of NTS? 35 live albums the last five years? But it’s just too much for me to grasp. It must be around 50 hrs of mostly noisy, erratic, sprawling wall of sounds. Like the IDM-version of my kids birthdays. I’m old now. I like more mellow, lush soundscapes. More Bladelores, less Fleure. More Surripere less P.:NTIL. So, I’m stoked AF for tomorrow.

WTF. I guess he wants to get away from all the fans, paparazzi and the British tabloid press linking him to Pippa Middleton and Katie Price. Now he has found solitude in some small Norwegian community, where he can walk around like a normal man, and spends his time hiking in the forest and mountains. But then some day, a strange creepy looking guy (that's me), stands outside the small hobbit-like hut he is renting, screaming "SEAN PLS!" Neighbors notice my AE-covid mask, and starts googling. Suddenly people realize they have an international techno star living in THEIR village! Busloads of fans comes from towns from Hammerfest to Mandal, there are AE-tribute rave parties followed by riots, chaos and a second covid wave. Norwegian tabloid press starts linking Sean to Martha Louise and Rachel Nordtømme. People are hammering at Seans door all night screaming things like “will there be another Dual Purpose release?” and “do you know what Pule means in Norwegian?”. And then Sean thinks “fuck it”, goas back to Manchester and starts working on the follow up GNIS.

Just realised Sigur Ros has released several droney ambient albums. Currently on Route One and it's Lush AF.

Good news. That interview is nice too. Two observations. -He looks more and more like Walter Shobchak -Nice track before the interview. Veevel: procastination.

WTF happened? Make it stop!

10 year anniversary 3LP version coming up Featuring remixes from Joy Orbison, Floating Points, Caribou, Roska and Jon Hopkins

The new Motorpsycho album is a friggin masterpiece. 84 mins with prog, psyc and metal. Highly recommended.

I don't care much for HoO or Sparkle Division, but this track tickled me the right way. I just want Basinski to put out an album or two with droney loopey stuff every year.

For a 1-0 match, I found it very entertaining. I have no feelings for Bayern, but PSG doesn't deserve anything.

What will be Trumps prefered nickname on twitter? Commie Kamala? Cameltoe Kamala?

Atalanta-PSG Leipzig-Atletico Barcelona-Bayern City-Lyon --- Atletico-PSG City-Bayern --- Atletico-Bayern Right?

I fucking love this thread. I started on top of this last page, and I'm currently at all those lovely mountain albums from David Parsons. Amazing abience, perfect for home office working. Although I'm a bit concerned about my own listening preference changing from more complex and up-tempo music to ambient techno, then to pure ambient and droney stuff, and now mostly sorta new age space ambient. If this continues I guess will listen to whale noises only in a few years.

Ah. Just realized there will be no winner of Ballon d´Or this year.

So Ronaldo/Juve is out. Can't see Barca win against Bayern. So who will win CL, and who will win Ballon d´Or this year?

Temp ban for people who bumps of quotes posts older than a year. I will not be held acountable for things I said in the distant past. It was a differnet time back then. You wouldn't understand.

Mixing of artists with the same name happens on Spotify from time to time.

Hot af. And the only thing that’s not black and strong in my fridge is....red and strong. 9% BA Kriek. Wold kill for a pale ale or even lager.
