    For decades they told us we were facing an ice age ( even though we're just emerging from one now ), then it was the ozone layer, then it was BSE, then it was the milennium bug, then it was the mayans and their invisible planet and that propaganda movie "2012" that scared people half to death.

     

    Ozone, acid rain, lead, y2k. You do realize the reason those are no longer crises is because scientists rallied to regulators and regulators did what they needed to do to stop it from getting worse right? We are only asking the same treatment be give to climate change. The evidence is OVERWHELMING, our best scientists have produced models and shown time and time again CO2 and other pollutants are contributing to a greenhouse effect and very quickly raising the temps on earth. The global average temperature has raised consistently over the last few years. This is shit humans are putting the in air that hasn't been there for millions of years, the current iterations of lifeforms here have never had this much carbon to deal with. Do you know how much a TON of carbon weighs? Can you picture that as an object, like a big ass pile of coal or dirt or something? Thats mixed in the sky now, times 40 billion, times every year going forward. To say that is 'natural' when we have been releasing this massive, massive amount of air into the sky every year at an increasing rate, and you expect nothing is being effected by it?

     

    Yes, the libs want your tax money, that must be it, it's not the giant greedy megacorporations that control our oil industry that actually is obligated by it's shareholders to destroy this planet, it's the libs "pretending" to care, great theory dude.

  2. Listening to it in a vacuum (haven't listened to dj shadow in ages so I don't have a good reference point). I kind of like it, a bit of cheese to it, really softly mixed VST music, kind of reminds me of mark mothersbaugh kinda shit. It's funny though how theres no hard edges at all or any sounds that really stand out in the mix

  3. I'd love to see a new developer come in an try to refresh the tracker space. I think the M8 tracker is pretty innovative but it's tied to a specific control scheme and hardware architecture. I think theres a lot of cool things that could be done. Radium tracker looks interesting, not sure if thats what I mean though

    Great advice thx

    Today also cocoon dropped for switch and other systems it’s by one of the guys who designed inside for playdead but left the company afterwards to do his own game which is now finished:

     

     

     

    This was amazing.

  5. Anyone else have their GAS shift partially back to plugins? Maybe it's just from getting more into DAW-based work again to mix my tracks but, I bought so many plugins over the past year or two. I feel like I'm rediscovering what is trendy in the industry right now and what people use, trying to pick and choose what fits with my workflow. With the leaps made by some modern EDM/bass music I've gotten to the point where I have no idea how certain sounds are made anymore. People love using huge complex chains of effects, gated verbs, OTT and inflator, hard clipping shit on purpose, lots of distortion. Feeling kind of behind the times, but also very inspired by what the young folks are doing, slowly figuring out how to apply what I like about it to my own music.

  6. I've listened to this album a lot. It kind of hits a nostalgic, comforting spot for me, it's borderline vaporwave in that way. Hits me in the same kind of spot as this album.

  7. There are successful artists that also collect tons of gear, and successful artists that have very minimal workflows ITB, or with, say just, an MPC or roland SP-series and hone in (four tet, autechre). I think collecting many different mediums and esoteric tools is a valid approach as an artist, it's harder to dive deep on technique when you're spread across gear, sure, but it can be done (aphex, tycho). Early on, when I was starting to make music, trying many many different free vst plugins was sort of something I got really into. Maybe this could be considered GAS, or not. But I think there was merit in exploring different things all the time. I also changed DAW many times, this often transformitively changed my perspective and approach and overall made me stronger at making music. Switching to hardware was a huge, huge setback in productivity at first, but it set me on a path that actually made me very happy. To me, sitting with the same tools for album after album feels unfulfilling, I like changing it up. I hit a wall of interest and say, ok, time to spice it up, it's just who I am, I can't not explore or try new ideas, as often new ideas creates a drive to find the right tool to achieve it. I'm not happy just getting good at one kind of music and polishing it to the extreme for too long, perfect music is boring, I need new to shake things up, I need to hear something new.

  8. really having trouble forming an opinion on this for some reason, might need more time. I LOVE the proggy jazz-rock influences but it overall feels very random and blurry to me. Nothing has quite caught on or been memorable to me sound-wise to me, in the same way Age Of or Magic OPN caught me. Maybe I just like the more pop bent melodies. Sometimes it takes me a while to like certain music, I've always had a hard time w/ OPN's but something keeps me coming back.

    Damogen top 3 for me with Ultravisitor and FMWT.

    bold statement, but I respect it!

    The original topic on this album got closed. Do I remember correctly that some longer threads got closed after a forum upgrade?
