    2021 : the year without any albums

    Posted · Edited by WurstPLUS

    I'm ready for new BoC in 2022. Want the BoC feelz badly. Also, Plaid. Other than that, I do not care much if there wasn't new releases of the other biggies. Ae post NTS was more meh for me. Must admit I haven't got too high expectations as for Ae. Not caring about RDJ at all, the love died.

    There's enough music out there. Don't we have a 2021 retrospective thread? I'm overall fine with all the classical music to explore and as for IDM, exm's releases do the job for me. Last weak I just noticed I missed some Mike P music, Chewed Corners and Scurlage.

    i can only listen to this version tho

    "Can only" - Haha yeah that's the thing with voices. You pretty much get used to one specific interpretation, they are all quite different, and you can never listen to others ? Emma Kirkby, I love a lot of her singing because in Purcell era music I usually chose recordings with her. Her clean voice goes very well with that era, but in of Dido, she's just alright for me.

    Winterreise Schubert - Only with Fischer-Dieskau/Demus, lotsa Schmaltz ?.

    The finale of Sibelius 4. It's the oppossite of boombastic endings, but has always impressed me massively. Dark souls like me love the funeral march kind of phrase at 38:43. The bleakness of the ending - wonderful... 37:40 (Sym. ends at 39:20)
    BTW, Sibelius funeral march (In Memoriam) is very loveable. There's not just Bruckner Wagner funeral march in 7/2 or Beethovens Marcia Funebre in Eroica. Also, Kurt Atterberg has a great funeral march in Sym. #5.

    I don’t think the songs were necessarily bad, just not really for me. Ful Stop, Daydreaming and Burn The Witch being my favourites. 

    Was obsessed about the witch, also Decks Dark. Tinker grew massively, love that part when the violins come in. Well and Thoms voice there. I can sing at an even higher pitch. Sounds like my dog, but I love singing when nobody listens ?

    Music Listening Methods and Habits

    At home: Have a Chromecast Audio attached to every hifi system, unfortunately Google doesn't produce them any more. Prefer it over my BT aptx receivers because simply WIFI has way superior bandwidth. Typically feed it either in a smartphone streaming way (i.e. media files on smartphone) or maybe command them to play from YT Music.

    In car: I dislike BT in car after all those years... It's a diva which often does not want to connect etc. Believe me, I meanwhile know all my possibilities between deleting BT System app caches, BT protocol choice in Android dev. options... Being busy with connecting while being on the road for 2km is just not reasonable or secure. So I put stuff very traditionally on a USB stick/ SD card.

    Prefer listening music LOUD in the car. I can sing there to Thom Yorke, ie like a meeoowing cat and nobody laughs ?

    Also listening to classical music in my car while my right hand does the necessary air conducting. Because of the high dynamics differences, music has VLevel DSP (for fb2k) in the converter chain. IDK how it's called, it's a kind of oppossite compressor - it makes the more silent parts louder. Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to listen to symphonic music in a rather loud environment.
    Notice the disgusting file naming pattern, in the screenshot you just see a part of it ?

    It's getting colder outside, my turtle is now below ground, digged like 10 cm. But I found out turtles do not approach the earths core, so there's that.

    Some interesting points there in the interview... So I think exmcarolfun is the result of opening Bach MIDI files?

    He mentioned his stuff is "a bit more sweet" because of the kids. I noticed, he doesn't do that much "2nd half destruction" in his tracks as before. Not as brutal/disordered at least (having e.g. ignatio from Modulus in mind).
    BTW, my bet is a return of Trump.

    Likes Radiohead/Thom, Ae of course, mentioned Confield at first as an island disc. YES U OUR MAN MAN
