    King shit really. Not a surprise that he says he had to do information "piece by piece" either since his level of musical detail will likely be studied for ages. Go Plastic is 19 years old and I still can't get my head around it.

    RE: The Lighthouse...did we watch the same movie? I was glued to the screen and cackled right along into the descent with them. I found it gorgeous, disgusting and wildly imaginative. I've always been a sucker for repackaged classics e.g. O Brother, Where Art Thou, Scotland, PA., etc. At a minimum, I thought WATMM's heart would be stolen by all of the close quartered farting. I know I was immediately sold on Dafoe gas.

    That's some good connect-the-dots. As far as direct sample...monosynth melodies with a high portamento are just a techno mainstay like a pentatonic guitar solo in rock. Anything's possible though. What I appreciate most lately is Tom biting Aphex drum loops directly (off topic, I know)

    This German got leaks. Time to Paperclip him to get his secrets.

    This is the reason FACT disabled comments on all of them, which took a lot of fun out of it. There were some legendary roasts but also praise when it was deserved. Everything should have the opportunity to be judged but we're living in a scrubbed web these days. Notable standouts for me are Danny L Harle and Benjamin Damage. I wish I could better remember the ones the internet collectively gutted lol.

    I appreciate the elder IDM statesmen getting a bit maudlin for the past. It's making for some great tunes.

    FACT reeeaally loved that plate haha. Those camera angles and split screens screamed "you guys seeing this shit?!" What else can be said that hasn't already? Barker pwn'in the scene right now.

    What a fuckin ride that movie was hahaha. I'm glad I went into it with zero prior knowledge. It made for a proper rollercoaster of a film.

    Succession is a triumph. I haven't been that excited for weekly programming since breaking bad and I hated to see it end. Fingers crossed for a season 3.

    Bleep banger and I love it but damn....the beat that begins is so reminiscent of the way he opened his Warp20 set. I thought it was gonna be that track, which is painfully lush. The "HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!" track. Just had to give that whole set another spin.

    It's a fate a little worse than death really. At least death is an escape. You get your outrageous bill for $13,500* for a one night stay. "I can't afford that" so you fill out a mountain of paperwork with proof of income and other invasive shit. "Good news, we've negotiated your bill to $6,200! How does $217 per month sound for the next 2.5 years?" You do it because what fucking choice do you have, right? That was just one night with relatively conservative treatment. It scales up very quickly from there. *all values in post are based on a real life incident this year with my mom who is 1 year away from being Medicare eligible.

    Well I don't know if this is the thread for it but we ought to do a Denver roll call so the those that want to be social can be and the Doomers can known who to avoid lol. I for one am mega stoked to see a nearly 10 year long rave buddy (@hautlle) and that outlaw McGriff. Worth the flight alone.

    I just put 54 shekels into Tom's orange Adidas jacket for the Herro Kitty album pre-order and a ticket to Denver on Weed Smoker's Eve. I hope he's happy and adds all kinds of tracks to my account.

    Sounds like some of the walloping kit he was rolling out during his live stints in '17. Yusss.

    Hedging against hyperbole. It's not even advisable to post about a record until at least a week or so living with it. Albums are like people. Turns out that it did definitely deserve all my initial flattery.

    This has become a flawless record for me. I've never listened to any track in isolation--the minute "Falaise" begins, I get really excited to hear every last second unfold until the end. It's a masterpiece.

    I'd like this for a clean and direct Vinyl Countdown - "Animal Republic" title track that's not in a mix or ripped from a record. Top 10 Anime Acid Banger ever. I'm revisiting it right now and that fuckin' kick, lawd. Like slamming boxes of textbooks down in the back of an empty U-Haul, just keep slammin' textbooks.

    I don't have kids but I imagine that if your kid was mega mediocre at something for a bit but then steered out of it even a smidge, you'd be unusually enthusiastic about it. I did that with this album lol. It's a really solid album but I got a little....effervescent. I was just so happy to hear Sam shake out of his slumber. I still am and it's still a special record but I regret Aphex invocations. I won't retract because it can't be denied that Sam is driving slowly after midnight in Richard's neighborhood with these synths. Creamed corn, wobbly tuning and some Middle Eastern/Asian modes and scales spiced in...you can't hide your Tuss. That said, good records need to stand alone out from under ginger shadows and I'm committed to reform on that front ?

    Exactly...Elaenia and then some other one about a desert--Mojave or some shit, idk I was totally checked out on him. I can't stress enough how different and superior this record is to almost everything he's done. Big brain electronics plus wicked interludes like "Sea-Watch". I think Sam is in neuroscience by trade and I love that he called the closers "apoptose pt 1 and 2". Apoptosis is programmed cellular death that prevents necrosis and inflammation. Maybe it's the life sciences in me, but the way the tracks burble into chaos from quiet beginnings is perfect imagery for that process. Aphex should be jelly with this--it's the record he should have made.

    This album is fucking amazing. "J&W/K&G Beat" were some of the best tracks ever committed to an EP and I went on to love "Vacuum Boogie"/assorted singles and EPs. However, he started losing me hard with the 16 minute kick drum n' vibraphone stuff. "Dad house" is too true for the past couple of albums. This ain't that--goddamn he went IDM/mentalism and it works. It's like Sam has been snoozin' and dreamin' for a spell and then woke the fuck up. In awe at the size of this lad.
