@NewSchoolScience straight from the land down under...:

WHAO!!!!! YOU DAM RIGHT PUNK!!! REACTION TIME!... or whatever?......... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! etc So reactions to any opinions are offensive now? Do I now need to apologise? Or, I will get.... idk.... "cancelled"? pfff..... So much for the three seashells then.... Also, religion wise, I always preferred the Old Testament to the New one. The Old one had kick-ass inspiring stories and "heroes", the New one always felt like to me, just old guys having seizures and fearing life.... pffff..... but anyway in your case, I always preferred the OldSchoolScience to the NewSchoolScience, punk etc..... .....anyway, with this album, there are a few epics here, good he's embracing his past abit again: Action Adventure track listing No. Title Length 1.

Can I ask y'all something? Of all of your dreams, do you remember the sounds of them? I remember part of the visuals, but keep remembering all my dreams have been silent, no screaming, no singing, nothing, is that weird or not?

Been watching abit more on the history of "de Tour of the de France and all that whatever pfff, smokes a cigarette etc", and... wow ok. .....Do you know what started me on this "journey I guess"?... the 1904 American Olympics, the first to be held there: I am increasingly getting more fascinated with 19th century mass sport events like this, because I'm now realizing they got away with a hell of alot! Anyway for those who don't know about 1904:

........................................ if we do actually win the lottery, and then follow through with our plans, we should team up, business wise, and start hiring others to join us.... I know a guy who had a history of dealing with "waste management"...:

I would invest in an enterprise of some sort.... and then finally.... become....

Not fully bad-mouthing, just fascinated and having fun, but anyway, mostly, I just find it fascinating, in New Zealand anyway, our rugby used to be hardcore as, the 1970's and 80's, but then the rules put a stop to most of it, guess it happened to you too in De Tour, all the recent Tour de Frances I've seen seem cutesy in comparison, we had riots in the 1980's that caused us to change the rules, piss shops here were raided as well I'm sure:

Spanners was an awesome album, but these guys are too prolific I am super jealous sigh....

Ok, I've been to Paris.... at least, years ago now, before the pandemic... thankfully...... but ok, I will say, it was a lovely nice place.... to visit briefly anyway.... PFFFFFF..... "madame monsieur" *fart* But yeah anyway, we all know the Tour de France, I'm sure your girlfriend does anyway pff.... but what I'm really wondering and guessing, this video is from the 70's or 80's somewhere.... but did y'all actually raid piss shops during the Tour De.... and not wear bloody helmets???! The manager had to pay for your antics afterwards???? You animals pfffffffffffff *smokes a cigarette in the street while my dog shits everywhere pffffff.....*

Cool...... ok I'm still a FSOL fan, have been for ages, but now I gotta say something... Guys.... enough with the numbered stuff..... Environments 3, Environment version 99, Mind Maps 74, Calendar Album 2500, seriously ENOUGH!..... The coolest thing about FSOL, was how mysterious they were. Throughout the 90's, they didn't just create albums, they created worlds, sure that sounds weird on the surface, until you discover the "ISDN" transmissions..... all the "unknown" tracks, all the samples, the theme of each era... if you seriously listened, you noticed each era of FSOL.... and how vast each era was... the Lifeforms era, the ISDN era, the Dead Cities era, and the Isness Era, the crazy thing was each era gave the impression through the transmissions, of how vast each treasure trove was, 100's..... 1000's???? of unreleased tracks, that's the beauty of it once you discover it, who knew at the time?!... I mean good on them with the first few volumes of the "From The Archives" and the initial FSOLDigital releases, it just confirmed that yes they were super prolific. It just makes me wish FSOL embraced streaming (meaning Twitch etc), and got back to making "worlds" and being mysterious again, a 24/7 "transmission", play all the "Pod Room" shows back to back, then get all cryptic on whatever social media, and play us "unknown" shit again, then be super cryptic and leave us guessing, until your next album. Or just leave FSOL behind and just do Humanoid and AA from now on, whatever.

Been watching the music video a few times, some damn good scenery and film shots honestly, shot in Uzbekistan:

A nice chill track to start the album off I suppose, like he was scoring the soundtrack to a retro indie racing game but it fell though. Again I did expect it to go abit more nuts in the second half, but this was chill. Abit more minimal than usual? Looking forward to the rest.

Mr. Dr. Alex and that are remixing their 2010's Metallic Spheres album, out September 29: This snippet sounds bouncy, but yeah, I am wondering how much David has contributed to this one this time, plus I thought Prism was going to be their last album? Oh well anyway: "Metallic Spheres, The Orb’s 2010 collaboration with Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour has been remixed and reimagined for a reissue which will be called Metallic Spheres in Colour. The original album featured Youth, who also produced the record and speaking about this reissue he says “The idea for Metallic Spheres In Colour, was that Alex Paterson could have done more on the first version, and he didn’t really have the opportunity because we had a philosophy of making the music like the Blade Runner soundtrack meets Wish You Were Here. So, I asked him why don’t we remix it and make it like an Orb classic? And in doing that, it’s almost like a completely different album.” The new album is available on CD and vinyl. It has just two tracks which span around 20 minutes each and are therefore on each side of the vinyl record."

That's a dope album cover not gonna lie. And wow he wrote a song about me, my first name is Craig, lol... That teaser sounds interesting, personally I kinda want it though to progress and go nuts drum pattern wise something like in Napalm/Scatter Brain, while it does more with those synths, maybe similar synths like in this song, guess we'll see very soon:

Also, btw..... can we cut out this hate speech against the DJ Shadow community in general? Cause..... idk, apparently..... apparently nowadays, we are only apart of groups and communities nowadays, none of us care about individuals no more... it's sad, apparently nowadays..... ....Anyway, I'm just sayin'..... seriously @mcbpete and this goes to anybody else..... brah... or brahs.... ok if "brahs" is even a word, probably not idk.... if y'all keep offendin' or whatever....... I'm gonna have'ta call my friendly neighborhood Karen bay babe to deal with you, and she gonna go ahead and eventually call the police and whatever else modern day Karens generally do nowadays on you and that.... and then yeah, YOU have to deal with that.... and not me finally, PHEW!!!!!.... ahem.... .....But, hey, come on.... in general, DJ Shadow's... i mean overall..... he's 'aight.... he 'AIGHT!... admit it.... come on.....

I will say this off the bat: "Action Adventure" does sound promising from the title alone anyway, it does sound like he's had fun with this one compared to his last few albums. He does mention a few reasons that point to this in that original post. And the fact that its 95% instrumental, which Shadow's best tracks were the instrumental ones (the Quantum tracks were dope as well tho) What you just said here makes Shadow's input as time went on make alot more sense. He's never gonna reach "Entroducing" ever again, that wasn't only a good album, it also came out at the right time, he was lucky with that one. He has always come off as someone who never wanted to ever since and gets annoyed that peeps expect him too. I mean it took him six freaking years to follow that up anyway with "being busy".... We won't know what this one's like until we hear it..... heaven forbid if this one's basically "The Outsider Part 2"......... or he's embraced "Plonk" music or whatever it's called..... But also.... I don't know.... maybe Shadow's a buddie of Autechre, and he heard and somehow got inspired by their recent upcoming album called "World pls", that's like totally super duper real btw... and as "an ever evolving artist", he's actually abandoned hip hop beats and samples entirely and this album's actually going to be just straight up 14 hours of electric farts, walls of noise and broken fax machine "symphonies" or whatever... I guess we'll see soon then.....

"If you’re reading this right now, it means that you opted into my mailing list, and more than likely you’re a hardcore fan. If so, then you deserve to hear about big news first…and I’m excited to announce to you that my new album is almost here. Drumroll please...the title of the new album is... …And I’m REALLY excited about it. There are 14 tracks, and all but one is instrumental. This, by definition, places it closer to Endtroducing and The Private Press in terms of personality and feel, but this is no throwback. The songs represent my continued evolution as a producer and songwriter, and I can honestly say that I couldn’t have made these tracks even a few years ago. Objectively, I hear maturity and growth. The arrangements are sophisticated but efficient, the programming more deliberate. As the title would imply, there’s a wide variety of moods and a premium on melody and texture, with the intention of maximum emotional impact. Why no big-name collabs? I guess after my last two albums, which had a TON of guests, I needed to get personal and make music for myself again. I didn’t want to compromise or write music to give someone else a runway, I wanted to force myself to permeate every available sonic space and “own” the total composition. Time after time, I found myself writing songs that felt vocal-resistant somehow, so rather than fighting something organic, I embraced the challenge…and “Action Adventure” is the result. I can’t wait for you to hear it! The album will be out in late October or early November, but the first single will be out THIS MONTH. Expect quite a bit of activity from me over the coming weeks, including more live dates (FINALLY). Meanwhile, I’ll continue to try to use this forum to alert you to important developments first."
