hello spiral

one of my fave genres of this is people getting pissed and salty over any even vaguely left-of-centre/experimental music. The 'my kid could do that' crowd

don't care for Damogen either. Again, doesn't feel like an album at all. Feels like a bunch of tracks he chucked together. The fact that the order is reversed on the LP kinda gives evidence for that.

is this that thing where the popular kids catch the mildest bit of criticism and assign themselves outsider status? Stay in ur lane bruh Burial fuckin sucks

Go Plastic was mine, but yeah Ultravisitor was the first where I was rabidly waiting for it to come out lol, Ufab is my fave of the 'meh era' squarepusher. I recognise that the sound is completely fucked up somehow, but that doesn't put me off. And I like it as a cohesive album. Which Damogen isn't. Be Up a Hello might be one but christ that album just slides off my brain every time I listen to it.

damn I didn't know he just upped and cancelled in NA I had tickets for the 2019 show in London and it eventually happened in October of 2021 And yeah, despite him being in his 'eh, it's ok I guess' album era since 2006, he always fucking slays live

agreed this sounds much rawer than Be Up a Hello. That one was far too polished for me. Every time I listen to it I've forgotten the whole album as soon as it ends.

We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various

Hello I am on a boat

;^)

My artist copies came today, was not prepared for how much work he would put into these

Hihi, I have a CDr out on venerable noise label Chocolate Monk http://chocolatemonk.co.uk/available.html

Rocky Path did a megamix of these that is well worth finding. He also did one of all the 9010101 tracks

Yeah that wasn't even on purpose lol, someone pointed it out after the fact prompt was 'a cat made of glass, half of which is melting at a high temperature, shaking hands with a duck in a business suit'

Some I've done

Cool vid, music felt almost incidental to the video, just providing the soundtrack. Will wait to see if it seems better in context of the album. Yeah opn hasn't been 'weird' in a long time. Someone the other day said 'coldplay for 'creatives' ' and that feels grimly correct. hated the last album after one listen, was lukewarm on Age Of. Will still check this new one out.

yah they had shirts at Barbican last year. Didn't think they did, I had to sniff'em out. Was down in the basement.

wow, vcool

Got me phone nicked last night by some toerag who shoved me over after nicking it then jumping on the back of a waiting moped. All of my internet is from my phone, was royally fucked. Had to go knocking on neighbour's doors at 22:30 on a Sunday until eventually one kind lady answered and gave me her wifi password so I could contact people. Couldn't get the signal from my flat though so I had to camp outside her door like a literal bloody hobo. This is the pic my ex took when she biked over to stay the night so I could leach the 5G from her phone and get my affairs in order. The phone was paid off luckily and I was now on an unlimited data sim only plan. So today I took the standard upgrade and got a new iphone14 pro. Swings and roundabouts.

I think he's painted himself into a nice and cozy sound palette corner since Tuss. The detuned acid lines, dry af drums, cop show dadfunk corner. Cool if you dig that I guess, I don't particularly. Also I am not impressed by the difficult gear technicalities behind how you got these tracks, whocares.gif, if this is the end result. There are some nice little compositional tricks and touches on some of those London 12" tracks, what @Alcofribassaid about elegance and lightness of touch. I just wish he could get out of this sound palette corner he's painted himself into, it's terminally dull. But as has been said 90000 times in this this thread, he does what he wants so *shrug*
