  1. 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.
  2. 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*
  3. P Mu got form this shit lol I listened to the Ambulance album via AM for the first time, one of my fave Mu albums that I used to own on CD. My fave track on there was not the right track, turned out to be another track by a completely different Mu artist. I tweeted sunken foals guy (ex-Ambulance) about it and he was like "have they still not fixed that yet?!"
  4. I don't like the lack of creative freedom that comes with the territory of gear. It seems to turn into a dick measuring contest and also most of the focus is on the mechanics of getting your gear to actually fucking work and maintenance etc. It's music guy eq of those dudes who are always taking their cars apart in their driveways every sunday. Spergy compulsion. A daw to me is a blank sheet of paper and a pencil. Putting gear in the equation is like introducing a spirograph to the mix. Or to use another metaphor, wanting to get really good at fancy yoyo tricks. And no, if you go down the rabbitholes of gear people on social media, the dominant 'ideology' (aka bragging rights) is always along the lines of #analog #dawless etc
  5. CHATMM KREW L-R @Braintree @eaw @Herr Jan @AAAAh @me @tec @diatoms
  6. mhm There's a reason my av has been some variation on that cover since 2008 or so
  7. Yeah, the absolute death of creativity Him and aphex are evidence of that, stay away from gear lust kids Yeah, I like the early more dada stuff. My cutoff point is the cylinder box album. Hated Rossz, which seems to be everyone's favourite. It's so mallgoth I can see it wearing a nightmare before xmas backpack. Then he did that thing where the more musically adept and learned he became, the less interesting his music got
  8. Mastered by @TubularCorporation
  9. you leave your stupid codes in your pocket I shall be purchasing this fine release
  10. super lush, super talented guys
  11. I wouldn't even call it 'influence' SDEM is an OG, he goes way back with ae, part of the same scene when they were all unknowns. Along with SND and Haswell and Chris Douglas etc.
  12. Listened twice. If the APHEX name were not attached to it I doubt it would get the second listen. Quickly buried in the bandcamp wishlist.
  13. anyone have that meme with the text notifications from 'depression' and 'anxiety' but this version the third notification is Perlence Subrange 6-36 saying "bonk"?
  14. out now Listening party at 21:30GMT https://memoryglands.bandcamp.com/live/in-the-grim-darkness-of-the-far-future-there-is-only-golf-listening-party
  15. this is my phrase, please credit the artist my opinion on the new track: well, you know it already probably
