Would love to grab a copy of that version ... 36 squid though - pfffffffffff, bloody Record Store Day! (completely forgot about it this year until just now)
-
Guess the only thing we have to go on sound wise is whether this (should jump to the right spot pressing play):
matches up enough with this ....
Even with the crappy quality of the top video with the low quality encoding of the bottom video ..... I don't think they quite match, the top one seems to be missing a few notes in the loop

It was when the first EP dropped and it was Boomkat who got that rumour going.
Woah, so they did - I don't remember that (unless the 'old talent' they were referring to was another Skam artist - like the mentioned Team Doyobi):
QuoteThe Skam revival continues apace with an EP from a possible new talent, or quite possibly an old talent, in disguise. VHS Head's 'Video Club' EP comes replete with a gold members card for that classic Skam aesthetic, and five new tracks loaded on a CD housed in a glossy black jewel case.The tracks sound somewhere between Team Doyobi and the more recent Gescom gear, firing out fractal edits of 80's electro a la Art Of Noise or Mantronix with an unhinged sense of arrangement. 'Rent Responsibly' is haunted by the synthlines of Manchester clubs circa 1987 with just a hint of BoC style nostalgia, while the fierce 'Growler Spit You Out' slices through rewound VHS samples with ADD pause button stutters. It's like the ghost of Max Headroom has been let loose with an MPC in the Oldham Street Vinyl Exchange basement. A must for any old-skool Skam nuts.

I’m obsessed with the final track on this one. I wish it was 45 minutes long.
Yeah it's real nice, like a super chilled out cousin of the first track of Deathprod's Treetop Drive album

Xektses Sql is the sound of ghosts having a rave inside the walls at 3am
I'd never heard that track until today - pretty way out ! Sound like the noise of every upstairs neighbour that's lived above my flat where I'm thinking 'Just what the hell are they doing up there ?!' ... now I know they're just uber Ae fans listening to Japanese bonus tracks !

The Tim Hecker of IDM ?
-
Yeah his last (I think, have lost track!) album, Playground in a Lake, was supposedly 'a story about real climate change, but told in mythological terms' ?!?

Not used it (as I already have the full version of the app it's cloning) but Ability Instruments have just released a free alternative to Kontakt called Freetakt (no doubt the name will be subject to change - it's still early days): https://abilityinstruments.com/
(not to be confused with the free Kontakt Player, or something free that can import full Kontakt instruments with .... but a brand new sampler with full scripting in the style of Kontakt)

Almost bit the bullet last month to get the WUP upgrade just so I didn't have a million waveshell dropdowns in Ableton. Happily now instead I can just uninstall them all and forget I ever had them
Here's a WIP alternative plugin guide for those planning to migrate - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1--yRZdWro_d28LmYNvaWsVct7CR6Y_KAULFU8wZ4SEI/edit#gid=0

First time I think I've ever seen chaosmachine's name stylised as chāosMachine ...
-
Is that double framed ?! (or does the print come with that black shiny border around the central picture?)
-
There's also the 'hidden' 22 minute version of Meltdown on the Altogether DVD - Is this the longest single track they've done ?
EDIT: Nope of course we had this one too -

Acid Pants is one of their worst tracks ever imo.
That track to me sounds like Orbital trying to sound like The Chemical Brothers. Orbital are the best when they just sound like Orbital, but at their worst when they try to mimic a different musician or music style

i see something like 10 segments=5 flac, 5mp3 here over @sonic visualiser
You're absolutely right - Sorry was using the office version of Audition (buncha shite that thing has become!), in Izotope RX it clearly shows the 10 segments !

i've recently made a massive effort to organize my music collection and replace mp3/v0 copies with FLAC/WAVs. well overdue but at least three quarters of my collection (17+ years of snatching albums) is now lossless.
i come back to this thread at the age of 30 and find i simply cannot find the points in these sound files where it switches to lossy mp3. holy hell. i can't even remember the correct answers, which i seemly didn't post here.
Have been planning to do exactly the same with my collection (replacing v0 mp3s with flac) for ages now though most of my collection is the other side of the country and whenever I head back to visit my family I can never be arsed to retrieve the CDs from the attic..... and my ears won't thank me for the extra work either !
Regarding your original post (the Phillip Glass one) - Definitely can't hear a difference (my ears are decade more busted than yours!) and actually just 'cheated' and loaded it into Audition. Not sure if I'm reading the spectral view right but it looks like you had switched between the two versions pretty darn quickly, like way over 30 times over the minute: The only major 'visual' difference being the loss of the >10Khz harmonics of those slower trumpets (the clarinet or oboe (or bassoon - I'm rubbish at reed instruments!) also have that 'hole' but their upper harmonics are pretty quiet at that frequency range so aren't very bright in the spectral view)
EDIT: The Autechre one half way down the page is actually still doable for my terrible tinnitus ears
Not so much from a frequency POV but the decay part of the transients in the super quick percussion definitely have that telltale sludgy/watery sound to them - Though this was 128kbps right? Doubt I could've done it for 192kbps or above!

You can make your own latter day Burial tracks by playing vinyl crackle, gun noises, drone noises and soul acapellas at the same time - http://www.youtubemultiplier.com/61adfa1e8e7b1-burial-2021-xmas-carol.php

This place gets a cheeky nod at 00.23 - Don't know if it's a reference to our lack of BoC gullibility or lack of L-Event nowadays...
One bit I couldn't work out how he'd faked was getting the grooves to match the track-lengths - I'd assumed he just went through his collection and found an EP that roughly matched, I didn't think the madman would actually go as far as pressing the thing !
