  1. God dammit. It's not even 10pm over here, and I've been looking at burgers for the last ten minutes. Time to get this topic back on track!

    No, didn't miss that.

    Have you noticed I'm talking about actual numbers. Not projections or models?

    Again though, the vaccination rate is an important underlying factor. The US is piss poor in that aspect. That potentially changes the whole dynamic. The vax rate in Europe is simply superior. I suspect that's an important part of the difference.

    (Also in South Africa btw. Not just Europe)

     

    This. Several European countries are reopening. The virus is more or less running free without a rise in hospitalization  and "crashing health systems". The key is of course vaccination rate, where, in Norway, over 90% have two shots, almost 90% of the 40yrs + have three shots.

  3. Nice to see people posting about geuze in this thread. In Norway it seems to be all about pastry stouts, pastry sours and sweeter and sweeter IPAs. I've been looking at those special geuzes from 3F, but they are expensive as hell and only available in big bottles over here. The standard 3F Oude Geuze is my go-to. I have a few Cantillons in my beer callar, but they are hard to get by.

    I've been drinking myself through a lot of christmas beers as always. Over here it's traditionally dark lagers/bayer and bock, but nowadays everything is allowed. My favorite this christmas was To Øl: Yule M%&?!&k Bourbon & Vanilla BA (that's really the name). A massive 16,3% imp stout that lasted the whole night.

    What high frequency sound are you guys referring to?  I downloaded the flacs from bandcamp again and I can see the files are different (different size and bitrate), but I don't hear any difference.  Maybe my ears are banjo-ed. :shrug:

    Same. I'm quite puzzled by this thread. I can hear som light "crackling" sounds in some of the tracks (not on Rausch), but these high frequency kicks should be on top of the beats somehow? I don't think I have any hearing damage, so perhaps I'm just getting old.

    We on a friggin idm forum and almost nobody dares to talk how awesome these albums are ?

    Not even sure what this means. I just played the first part of Kick ii, and it's just not for me. I would really like an instrumental version of some of the tracks. I was a big fan of Xen and Mutant, but I prefer my electronic music without added latin electropop on top. Like "Tiro". I don't understand the lyrics, and Arcas own vocals are annoying as fuck. I see iiiii is listed as ambient/modern classical on RYM. I'll give that a spin.

    I had high expectations after @@@@@ but i and ii is not my cup of tea.
