A new one from Adam Curtis to be released on the BBC Iplayer on 16th October, called 'HyperNormalisation'
'The film shows that what has happened is that all of us in the West - not just the politicians and the journalists and the experts, but we ourselves - have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world. But because it is all around us, we accept it as normal.'

I've thought that a Chris Cunningham and VHS Head video collab would be interesting

People often seem to respond to those not digging this release by saying that not everything needs to be innovative, Aphex doesn't need to always reinvent the wheel, etc...(or something in that vein.)
'Reinventing the wheel' or innovation isn't really even the issue for me - I so love Plaid's last album, and that one seems more a continuation of what they do best. The issue for me is that this E.P is just SO raw and bare-bones and seemingly basic (to these ears) that I can't really hold on to anything. There is a good kind of simplicity and minimalism, and some of this does touch that zone, but not quite enough or quite often enough for me. Honestly, if anyone else played this to me, or rather if I heard it in another context, I would assume the tracks were at the most half finished or a lot was missing from them.
Perhaps it's very special how he programmed this synthesiser or something. I am just struggling to see anything exciting here.... I suppose it has groove. It could still have a bit more content and musical interest and have groove for me.
And also, as a side point - about the innovation stuff - why no release some stuff like that now? There's lots of producers out there making good, solid tunes that aren't pushing things. That's great for what it is. There's only one Aphex Twin. I'd love to hear something that makes me go 'wow'!
Whatever... Each into his own!
exactly what i thought about new Plaid...
-
caze is interesting because he seems to put more passion and energy into posting about being 'anti' something rather than 'for' something.
-
who would you have as Labour leader, caze?
-
Can't Corbyn deselect MPs?
-
So what does everyone think of the current situation with the infighting?
Realistically, Corbyn is going to become leader again by a huge landslide if there is another leadership contest.

did the Cheetah3 track really sound different in the amazon sample? only listened once and on terrible headphones, but i don't remember it sounding remixed or heavily eq'd/remastered. seems like he wanted that laid back muffled sound/mix when he recorded it. i guess time will tell...
it was a lot clearer I thought - all of the elements in the track were - undoubtedly cleaned up the soundcloud version of Cheetah3
-
Cheetah3 must've been remastered at least? I missed the prevs but it's hard to imagine he did nothing to it.
The preview on Amazon which appeared briefly sounded a lot clearer and crisper than the Cheetah released on soundcloud - so yes it will sound stunning to the ears and it does sound mastered
-
It's really hard to read the text on the flyer - even when you zoom in
Sounds like the Cheetah EP comes with a softsynth?
-
wtf is going on!?

"Can you spare some Snausages for a poor old lady? Cough cough"
