  1. ngl that new dmx krew album ghost bubbles was pretty zzzz to me.
  2. lol yeah arca has always been ok to terrible... honestly was a bit disappointed with the aleksi oscillation series, but luckily the spectrum series made up for it. but after those and the last LPs on trip im getting confused why aleksi puts the worst tracks out on wax... ital tek - outland ... meh im not into this cinematic stuff so much grimes - miss anthropocene. pretty lame shit after all that hype. machinedrum - a view of u. living in LA must be really fun but damn it makes the music pretty boring
  3. Yeah that emergency brain surgery a few weeks back wasn’t a good sign
  4. after that dwell article on jack's home i got so happy. he's living the dream in norcal, amazing house, still has his synths, lots of custom hardwood shelves for his records, happily married. good on you jack. seems like his wife is very successful too which made sense because being a relatively obscure IDM artist's IDM artist doesn't really buy you a gorgeous villa in marin county now does it. maybe all those radio babylon 12"s really added up or someting
  5. been thinking about this. I've listened to impo-star and ope-cooch recently and they're good. not my favs but some great moments. i was initially greedy and wanted them all to be like the last 30 seconds of critical soul vibrations. that perfect combination of late 90s breaks with those mid-century samples and horn hits. Jack's ability to "age" a track with a sample or some technique is second to none. I don't know if I'm making any sense, will think on this effect and explain later but seriously how can anyone be an IDM fan and not think that MBM are "up there" with the best. it's stupid. there is no counter argument. ur just dumb
  6. RUOK is my second fav MBM album. it's incredible. I used to think the second half was poor but i've changed somewhat. It's still a bit repetitive, especially in comparison to the developed compositions of the first half. RETROGRAD.
  7. just listened to them all in order. r plus seven is really really fucking good to me. the ones after are diminishing returns, although as i said this new one is better than age of. As for the pre-WARP era, replica stuck out as well below par, save the first and last tracks. Sleep Dealer and Up sound worse than most of EKT. cringe level bad. Returnal was better than I remember, but to me the highlights are Russian Mind, Zones Without People and Betrayed. I know the tracklists are all buggered up but those three have the best collection of the rifts tracks. Some happy trips down memory lane listening to those old ones. I had nostalgia for listening to nostalgic synth music.
  8. Hi Everyone! Took some time to read through this thread and listen to the album. It's just fine to me! Not really very interesting. Those new parameters R now plus 7 years old by my estimation (get it!!!!?). But hey, I'm still a sucker for the artwork, the timbres, and some of the "fun moments". Generally his "concepts" that supposedly underpin his work are fucking dumb as shit and have now completely fallen into the classic trap of over-wrought "post-" anything. He's sticking with it because that kind of talk and posturing makes critics' jobs easier. They can churn out some twaddle about this and that: it's nostalgia for rave!! it's deconstructed pop! It's a "hypnogogic journey through an alienated and acid-tinged radio station" sure it is pal. I generally find that stuff annoying and doesn't excite me artistically. I do not however -under any circumstances- begrudge Daniel's success. Good for him (apart from the dasha bit lmao) I will be doing an 0PN run through of all his albums for today's rainy work day and see where this one sits. Initial thoughts are that it is a step up from Age Of. Which reminds me, does anyone want my Age of LP? I haven't even opened it lol well, see ya!
  9. extremely unfunny. fred armisen is comedy poison and Tim has burned just about enough of his goodwill with me by being a crying twitter wimp and Hollywood cuck for the last few years. Mister America was the beginning of the end. A lot of people are mad at him about the MDE shit but I don’t really care about that, Tim has just been a huge pill ever since he got pizzagated on his podcast lol. John c Reilly can do whatever he wants and I don’t care. He’s in the hall of fame regardless. Still, this misadventure is an embarrassment and career nadir for all of them.
  10. i didn't really like these... sorry everyone
