Why does this sound familiar? Anyone?
Please don't hate me everyone but this kinda reminds me of Moby's Ambient album (the last track on it)

this is so LP5 imo
I always got an aquatic vibe from Lp5 too... But in a different way. This album actually seems a lot lighter, like lp5 is drowning while this is going on a fun submarine ride looking at cool bioluminescent fish and coral and seaweed...

I'm glad I've been working on my fitness this year because my heart is having a hard time keeping up with this

The album seems to be getting mellower and mellower... I wonder if there's anything more abbrassive up ahead...

Esc desc is sounding even more OpN...

So bubbly... This is kinda... Cute...

Good lord that intro was terrifying... But now it's so warm and lovely....

Hmm not sure if this will be exactly what you're after but I would recommend:
Lorenzo Senni - Sacco Matto
Caterina Barbieri - Ecstatic Computation
... Because they are modern synthesiser albums, there's no real "percussion" involved, the sound design is energetic and complex (although Ecstatic Computation is a little more on the minimal/ambient side).
But I wouldn't say they are super close to R+7.

I can't possibly assume to know just how busy you are, I don't have kids so that alone affords me a lot more extra time for creative projects. But I do have a few friends and colleagues with kids and they all agree with the general slogan that: "no one has time, you have to find a way to make time".
This is obviously easier said than done and sometimes we enter into periods where it really is impossible. But I think that spending say, 30-60min a week on a project is better than no time at all.
Again, I don't know your situation, so take this with a grain of salt, just I guess a perspective on staying creative with a busy life.

wow crazy! imo with this release they jumped right into the stratosphere of modern electronic music where they've been living for the last 21 yrs
I never really thought about it that way before but that's true. It seems like a definite turning point.
I think I've grown to like it more than lp5 maybe... I certainly listen to it more often.

I hear you. Makes a lot of sense to hear it in this order and read the notes that go with it. I've been really enjoying parts 4 and 5 lately, especially.
I haven't actually got the physical release :S I see they're sold out on their official store but still on preorder on amazon... I think I need it
-
Admittedly, I wasn't a big fan of this material as it was coming out. But I decided to give it another go and somehow, in the track order it's in now, it just clicked.
It's my favourite album of the year and pretty high up my favourite Underworld albums too. Disk 1 in particular is just so solid from beginning to end.

I like 10,000 days quite a bit but it is relatively weak. It's too all over the place, feels like 4 albums smashed together haphazardly. I also don't like how the slowest, quietest tracks are after rosetta stoned, it makes the album feel anti climactic, even though intension and right in two are really good...just not where they are on the album.
I feel like each of the 4 main sections work really well by themselves... I tend to listen to the album in bits rather than as a whole.

Ehh my opinion has pretty much solidified after... 50 listens? Sometimes I really like it, but then if I put it on after listening to something a bit more energetic (like Black Midi for a recent rock album) it can be sluggish and slightly dull. I think I've digested all the album has to offer, and it's not going to offer up any real revelations.
Looking forward to hearing it live though for sure. It's good, but I'm not gushing.
Feeling this way too... Although I'm sure there will be some minor details I'll pick up on subsequent listens (still haven't worked out the time signature for Pneuma) . I was addicted to it for a few days now I haven't listened to it in about a week.
But also looking forward to hearing it live (I'm sure they'll come back to New Zealand eventually). Tool we're the first band I ever saw play live.

Autechre are always pushing my mental capacity for understanding and appreciating music. Whenever they release a new album, the previous one suddenly makes a lot more sense and seems less "difficult". So in the last year I've really enjoyed Elseq a lot more, while about half of NTS seems a bit impenetrable to me (and the other half is already my favourite Autechre material ever).
It's really funny to think back when I thought Exai was a mammoth, ultra challenging listen, now it seems pretty easy going

Still enjoying the fuck out of this. Moreso in fact, now that the lyrics are starting to sink into my consciousness.
Some will say this Tool by the numbers, and I agree, but the numbers are transcendental and surreal.
Yeah it's really growing on me more and more, starting to appreciate some of the lyrics a bit more, particularly Descending, Culling Voices and 7empest.
Listened to all of 10,000 Days again yesterday just for comparison and now I definitely like Fear Innoculum more.

Is anyone noticing clipping on the second proper track? Pneuma.
Yes... I usually don't notice "bad production" or "bad mastering" when people here talk about it, but this one was really noticable.

Upon first listen I was pretty underwhelmed but it's definitely growing on me. It feels like one more track hits me with each listen.
First time I only really liked 7empest (which is incredible!) and Descending (+ CC trip and Mocking Beat). Now I feel like every track has been stuck in my head at some point.
The main thing that kinda puts me off are the lyrics... which at first seemed really cheesy to me, but even the lyrics are growing on me too. I guess it's just taken a while to accept it for what it is. The whole thing has a very new-agey vibe to it and to be honest, I'm ok with that. They've been heading in that direction since Lateralus anyway.
Bands like Tool never really change that much but there certainly is a big progression when you sit this one besides Undertow. I think that's really cool. It reminds me of the progression Boredoms went through: starting off with shorter, grimey, dark, heavy material and gradually the songs get longer and more psychedelic.

Autechre - SIGN 16.10.20
in Autechre

Yeah I do wonder if the green album will be dryer, less melodic, more beats/noise or will it be similar to this? I'll be happy either way.
Thanks Sean & Rob
