    i meant it very literally, that only the ending of the song is good

    anyway i like this music for real sorry you dont, theres music i fail to like too

    Actually, I hadn't even listened to the music yet.  It was more the oddity of that statement that caught my eye.  I do plan to listen to those Black Dress clips when I have a chance.  But seriously, there really is more than a lifetime's worth of genuinely good music in the world to not have to suffer through partially good material.  And that's even allowing for differences in taste.

    you gotta ignore the bad parts to hear the good parts

    Whhyyyy?????

     

    If 51 years on the planet has taught me anything, there's more than plenty of good/good music than to be bothered with bad/good music. 

     

    What next, admiration for Stryper bass solos?

  3. Numerology can prove anything.

    sign = 19,9,7,14 

    sean = 19,5,1,14

    rob = 18,15,2

     

    (rob) 18+15+2 = 35

    (sig) 19+9+7 = 35

    (sean) 19 - (5+14) = 1

    (n) 'n' is 1 letter of 'sign'.  'n' is also the last letter of 'sign' and also the last letter of 'sean'.

     

    Conclusion = Rob is responsible for 3/4 of the tracks of Sign, Sean is responsible for 1/4.  Furthermore, Sean is responsible for the last track.  Mystery solved.

     

    edit: - OOPS, bad math.  Sean equals '0', and is thus responsible for nothing, but inspired the last track.

     

    edit 2: OR, 19/(5+14) = 1, so maybe Sean did do something.  I really need to lay off the coffee for the day.....

    Yeah, in the mixlr chat Sean mentioned that only about 1 in 3 tracks they do together, and it's been like that for a long time. So most tracks you would call 'solo tracks'. At the same time, they're both working on the system, they're playing around with each other's patches and they're imitating each other in creating patches. So I guess it's always going to be messy and it's  going to be autechre.

    Right.  And even if, technically, only one has a hand in the creation of a particular track, the other still is giving approval of that track's inclusion on the album.  If one of the two came into the studio with a 20 minute recording of a Chris Squire-ish base solo, I'm guessing it would be suggested that that track might be better on the next Keith Rowe/Mike Patton and guests collab.

    it will be an acappellambientish album spiced up with some drone elements here and there. I can feel it. Can't wait!

    Poppycock.  We already got that, more or less, with NTS, particularly if you acknowledge that the >MACHINES< are singing.....

     

    So naturally, being that SIGN is forecasted to be a radical departure from that prior style, the new album is more likely to be a folk/thrash/ska album, albeit in an abstracted form.  Like, duh.

    how is "we just prepped 2 albums" vague tho?

    I'm sure they have a file cabinet or three full of 'prepped' stuff that never got released.  Until I have a link to buy it's not real.

     

    Just to be clear, a search for your quoted quote, "we just prepped 2 albums", only turns up your post.  I assume you're referring to the comments, "we just prepped an album, btw" "two actually".  Which, yeah, I do consider vague and far from real or a committal.  Could be the 2 prepped albums got condensed into one finished product.  Who knows?

     

    Sorry to piss on the rainbow.  Maybe I'm just in a covid funk.  Maybe I just feel it's more satisfying to be skeptical and then delighted, rather than endlessly hopeful and endlessly let down?

    like a week ago in the "2 new albums announcedish" thread someone reported word from a manufacturing plant. later confirmed by the cover of sign

    Oh yeah, that vague comment from earlier this year.  Well, if we do get a second album, awesome sauce.  'Til then I say it's vaeporwaer.
