Haha yeah, like at the beginning of Finish It. I dunno, I like the woo's. I think he's a great vocalist overall. Utilizes a lot of different techniques and just sounds spastic and crazy. They did a cover of Malpractice by Faith No More where they ending is just like a minute of straight a capella weird ass vocal noises. Sounds really cool to hear. I can't find it now though, I don't even remember when I got the recording initially. And GhOsty, you should put up a pic of the Ron Burgundy shirt, it sounds hilarious.

How do the WATMM metalheads feel about Car Bomb? Definitely one of the more abstract heavy bands out there. They've cited Autechre as a major influence before, and I think it definitely comes through in their music. [youtubehd]Bn1wrAxfkmA[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]qrenVIyk9VI[/youtubehd]

I don't think there should be any legal issues at all with his Soundcloud, provided he doesn't use the Aphex Twin name or upload any already released material for download.

Oh nice, I love SikTh! Their vocals are fucking crazy.

Yeah I set out to do this a long time ago, just finally got around to it! They really do sound great played in order like this though. [Range 7 - Range 3 - Subrange 3] in particular sound like one long massive track.

It reminds me a bit of some of those iDoser things, binaural beats. I wonder if the rhythm of the pulses in your ears has any sort of physiological effect, because I definitely zone way out if I listen to it on headphones. I get the same type of effect with Drane as well.

Been listening to all the Quaristice-era tracks a lot over the past few weeks, and I finally feel like I've dedicated a proper amount of time to really analyze all of the different versions of Perlence. It really is fascinating to find all the little differences - we've never had a single set of ideas explored as thoroughly in any of their music before, or since (Though 90101 comes close). At any rate, after having compared them all for a while I think I've come up with a fairly definitive playlist order for listening to them. Kind of begins from the basic, superficial level of the tracks and slowly descends deeper into the individual sounds. Anyway, the way I've been listening is this: 1. Perlence - The cleanest and shortest recording, this gets straight to the point and illustrates the majority of the sounds explored in the series. 2. Perlence Range 7 - Mostly just a much longer version of the regular track, each of the phases in the original has more time to breathe. A bit more reverb-y. 3. Perlence Range 3 - The transition from Range 7 - Range 3 is so flawless it's hard to imagine it wasn't intended to be listened to this way. This is probably my favorite track. Almost like a dub version, very spaced out and very rhythmic. Around 3:12 we see the first introduction of the bassline which will be featured prominently in Subrange 3. Also from 4 minutes on the sounds begin to get a lot more sinister as we decay further into the subranges. (Personal favorite moment at 6:41 when they bring the opening melody back for a single note before dropping out completely, love it) 4. Perlence Subrange 3 - Things begin to get very dark here. The funky beats are gone, only a steady rhythmic pulse and bassline to hold it together now. The focus now shifts to the background sounds, which remind me of rubber balls bouncing on a hand drum. A new lead melody forms out of haze at 3:50, very subtle and hypnotic. It sticks with throughout the very long fadeout, you can almost lose yourself in it. 5. Perlence Losid 2 - The fadeout works well to prep your ears for this one, which I know is one a lot of people really dig. This one is all about close listening, the whole track is based off rhythmic manipulations to the echoey background noise, which I suppose is now foreground noise! Some interesting key changes around the 4 and 6 minute marks, and one very noticeable one at 6:35. The track almost feels like it hits the edges of human hearing after this. Sounds immense on a good set of headphones. 6. Perlence Suns - This was the only one who's placement I wasn't sure about, but it seems to fit here fairly well. Some more overtly melodic ambient things going on here before another long fadeout. Also worth noting that the title implies that it's a mix of Perlence and Paralel Suns, so leaving it out or reordering it could work too. Good track though! 7. Perlence Subrange 6-36 - And everyone's favorite! Definitely not one you can make time for as easily, but there are some very subtle things going on if you open your mind to them. Some high frequencies pop in and out, at 20:00 in and thoughout. The whole track seems like it could be timestretched, a lot of the sounds are slower. I'd be interested to hear it fast sometime. The little changes might become more apparent. Would be interested to hear what other people have noticed in this one - I truly haven't devoted enough focused listening to it. But yeah, that's my analysis! Nice to get it a little organized in one place. I may try and do the same for the 90101 tracks sometime, on the surface they seem a lot more similar to each other though so it might be fun to dissect what the differences between versions really are.

Fingers crossed there's a huge public backlash and Showtime scrambles to get Lynch back in the project.

Phenomenal piece of work you've made here, noise. Deep, meditative, emotional, yet still catchy and funky. Really timeless, the melodies stick in your head for days. The cassette recording really adds a whole new dimension to the project as well. I feel like it wouldn't have quite the same impact if it was cleaner or more digital-sounding. At any rate, I can't wait to hear what's coming next. :)

Always really loved this track. [youtubehd]B-tUXR_ekBA[/youtubehd]

Seen em live twice and both times are up there for my top shows of all time. They are just phenomenal on stage.

Ohhh maaaaan Tony D....one of my all-time favorites, just for the sheer insanity of it all. Didn't like Danza 4 as much as the others though. For me it's ALL about Danza 2. Just a nonstop beautifully chaotic mess, that album. Only lets up for the few skit tracks, which honestly are legitimately pretty hilarious and immensely quotable. Cannot recommend the album enough if you love heavy, complex music and wanna see just how extreme, grating, and relentless it can be. [youtubehd]UfJhvziNrTI[/youtubehd] Or actually just jump straight to this video for a "proper" introduction. 0:28 is just [youtubehd]PB1atacTiA8[/youtubehd]

Haha why do they blur out the gun in this video?? They also bleep out nigga, but say mothafucka about 500 times. Censorship is weird.

North Korean hackers - we're sorry about that whole Seth Rogen thing. That was our bad. But really, we need you now more than ever. The world needs millions of shitty black market CD-R's floating around of The Wuteng Clan's "One Atop Times Of Shao Len'. Do it for the good of the planet. Remember, if RZA loses, Kim Jon-Un wins.

^Same here. I've never been convinced by a fake except for that one. He absolutely nailed the tuss sound there.

Love both of those Yeah definitely! Those are two of my favorites I got that vibert too! fixd

I wonder what the vocals in stabbing interview are saying...

Edgewood Park is such a fucking weird track. Messes with my brain everytime.

This! I would give anything to hear some more Voafose. His album in 08 was an absolute mindfuck. I love it. He can create a cerrain kind of eerie, spacey atmosphere than nobody else can quite replicable. A very dinstinctive sound, I think. And I know from listening to it that he must just have countless hours of bizarre tripped-out tape experiments from over the years he's sitting on.

Don't know it it's been pointed out before, but 2:09 in Human Rotation is rather like the beginning of Audax Powder, isn't it?

I'm glad someone else thinks the same as me. I was starting to feel lonely haha. I dunno, I must just not be hearing something. Or maybe I need to be in the right mindset first. I heard it compared to OPN earlier though, and I've honestly never been able to get into any of his music either, so perhaps it's some common thread I just don't understand.

Am I alone in not understanding all of the Sekonda hype? I've listening to it a few times and I feel like I'm just not hearing what everyone else is. It's a good track, just nothing I'd consider one of my favorites or anything. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Heliosphan Live is way too fucking good. This whole batch has been one killer track after another. I'm loving it. Also, this is my 500th post. And it only took me 8 years!

I've never gotten all the way through the first. (FUCKIN' HAWKS!) YES!!!! I beat it! God fucking damn this game is hard. HARD. I'm all swet and tired.took me around 20 years to do it (with breaks ofc), feeling on top of the world now, what a night!!! on topic: aphex lush imminent quite good badger edit: FUCKING HAWKS!!!!
