  1. its not better for your 'eye health'. thats just a thing people say for some reason. its also a pain in the ass to read if you have an astigmatism.
  2. barf mode but for real - is there a setting where i can pick my own theme? i can barely read the site now.
  3. yes - this album is great. the experiences ltd full length - sibling - is amazing as well
  4. beltran has quite a few little eps just released on a bunch of different labels. this one is the best. tiger (detroit) is so good. record shipped - looking forward to that magnet.
  5. not too fussed by superficial marks and sleeve damage - that’s part of buying records. but does this remastered by the artist straight from DAT sound better or worse than the “pressed from cd” mov release which turned out to not even be true? that would be disappointing. and yeah vinyl vs cd - they both look good on the shelf and are both useless at this point. but i still buy them.
  6. that’s an expensive ugly record! shipping is egregious. i assume this will hit the regular shops. however - purchased.

  8. out 4/9/2020 "In 2018 Morphology released their third album, debuting on FireScope with Traveller. The sci-fi inspired ten tracker was an immediate success. It also marked a subtle evolution in the sound of the Finnish pioneers of Michael Diekmann and Matti Turunen. Compositions became more complex, melodies more refined. 2020 sees that transformation continue with the pair returning to FireScope for a brand new album: Horta Proxima. This twelve track album, recorded between 2018 and 2019, sees the electronic partnership continue to further hone their audio craft. The otherworldly is ever present, in the liquid harmonies and sliding synths of “Photospehere” and the shapeshifting brightness of “Aphelion.” Countering these aural journeys into the beyond is a balance, the pulsing keys and crunched beats of “Rustbelt” and the fluid warmth of “Downlink” tethering the narrative to the here and now of terra firma. A central tenet of Horta Proxima is possibility, the possibilities of a technological future expressed through cables, filters, oscillations and permutations. Morphology have delved deeper into the potential of their machines, resurfacing with a wondrous wealth of musical works. From the chopped percussion of “Parsec” to the spirited playfulness of “Triangulum”, new advances and avenues have been explored by the duo. Despite the future gazing focus, the carnal persists. “Shadows from the Past” bares its teeth, rumbling drums chase sailing notes and acid spectres. And within this range, what the listener leaves with is an irrefutable sense of awe. The understated grandeur of “Luminous Entity”, the sensuous stratification of “Multiplex”, the reduced radiance of “Horta Proxima”, only go to further exemplify the respect and reverence this album deserves. Horta Proxima is firmly set in the Morphology canon. The collection is undeniably daring. Diekmann and Turunen have continued their musical journey from Traveller, pushing their sound further, developing their technique and delivering sheer quality. A beautifully crafted album that broadens themes and horizons, a musical milestone, a triumph." \

  15. dub techno excursions - really nice stuff. i'll repost extreme boomkat writeup cause i'm lazy: "Absorbing dub techno and ambient impressionism from Berlin-based coatroom operator and producer Florian T M Zeisig - a strong look for Huerco S./Pendant/Perila fiends and tipped if yr into the Chain Reaction >> Jan Jelinek >> Sferic >> Topdown Dialectic axis. A student of Alva Noto, one half of OCA and an active installation artist, Florian Zeisig brings a sensitive mix of textural ambiguity and artfully expressive sound design to his behind-the-scenes tales from the cloakroom - a story of being at the club, but not quite in it - apt for our time. It’s a tale that's heavily indebted to smoked-out Chain Reaction listening rituals - think the first time you heard Vainqueur’s ‘Elevations’ stoned out of your mind, or else a flash to our current universe where all that’s left of the club is a vague memory of thuds smudged in your padded cell. Switching to something more heavy-lidded on the middle-distance ambient stare and swirling voices of ‘Been Listening A Lot’, he basically makes a bed out of atmospheric pads with ‘Ambient Middle Part’, where we sink into heartbeat thrums and amniotic washes with ‘Straining To Hear’ before swaddling us to smug satisfaction with ‘Only Textures’. It’s a sound that’s been done many times before - but here handled with a narrative dexterity that made us go in for a second serving the minute it was over." https://enmossed.bandcamp.com/album/coatcheck
