They are both fantastic albums but I’d go with chiastic slide, it’s got Pule and then Nuane. Both super unique and underrated tracks that could almost stand alone as a mini ep.

imo, Ceephax’s stuff is better than ever.. His early recods are fun but I have to be in that mood to get over some of the rough edges. Whereas most everything from United acid emirates and onward is consistently solid

that new track ""potion" sounds like Human Nature by whacko jacko
A bit more Prince / Minneapolis sound influence, imo. But definitely mj inspiration as well.

I really love this new track; have been listening to it multiple times per day. The vocal manupulation and interwoven harmonies around 1:50 are so smooth *chefs kiss
I get how someone would pass on it, or be turned off by the forwardly pop aspects. But bibio's stuff just works for me. Maybe ive just listened to his music so much, that even the pop / borderline cheese stuff feels very natural and a permutation of musical threads he's always been exploring. Either way I can't get enough. Most anticipated album right now

Any word on an official reissue date?
Ovals and Emeralds was always a bit too circus for my taste, but I'm appreciating it a bit more listening again after years. I'm noticing more similarities in sound with Vignetting; they are likely from a similar studio setup?
Vignetting the Compost.. while not a perfect album for me (some of the pop/folk hybrids miss the mark for me), it has some of my ALL TIME fav bibio tracks, namely Dopplerton and The Ephemeral Bluebell. I could listen to those forever, and they instantly take me back to a very special time when i was finishing up university. Mr. and Mrs. Compost and Odd Paws are also great fun tracks.

impression of track1 was lukewarm at first but is already really growing on me. It’s a catchy tune. Anyway, excited now, and always down for a new bibio album

whoa. curse of monkey island was mega important to my childhood and still a favorite. ill definitely play this if it gets even half decent reviews

Nice! Great to see new stuff from lnrdcroy. Sounding in a similar vein as Much Less Normal, which is a good thing imo. Interesting choice to release as 4 digital singles, but I'll pick them up because I love his music
-
i wasnt hooked by his latest album, but really loving the montreal set here so far
-
Been listening to this a ton. Really lovely and concise album. 'The Only Way' is currently favorite

@maxwellsq Really glad you are okay, I hope your family and loved ones are as well. I can't even imagine what it would be like to have my life and city turned upside down with such horrific events.
In the face of feeling helpless,ive contributed some meager monetary help, that won't change the tide of the war but will maybe do some good . Mainly I have been counting my blessings lately. I started crying after going on a hike to realize what a privelege to be able to recreate safely and easily.
SpoilerAlso I'm choosing not to engage with 'you know who' watmm poster. His points truly make no sense and are often super offensive propaganda spewing. Trying to reason with him is useless. So just know there are many rational people here who hear you and are on your side, even if we don't always step in to call out offensive posts

On first impression these tracks aren't my favorite thing from exael but I'll definitely give them another / closer listen.
The album Flowered Knife Shadows recently sounded so good when I gave it a listen while running. And aphelion lish, and collex are also both great albums.

those are generally pretty beloved records but they came out in 2010 and 2012. So in my view this is pretty derivative from well-trodden and well-loved (and now old) material, and certainly records that would be familiar to anyone excited about a new Huero S. record.
Cover fucking suuuuuuuucks
@ top point: Yeah that's fair criticism. I, VII, and VIII probably fall into that category the most. VIII is saved by a really great melody though imo
@ bottom point: What, the cover of this album? imo the painting is pretty class

I never liked anything from him
I have to wonder how come he is so often talked about here at watmm.
youre free to not like his stuff
But ive never been able to listen to a track like this (among many!) and not have a massive grin on my face
Also I only know of 1 thread - the brian leeds thread about all his stuff. And then there was a Pendant thread, but that was mostly just me and Salv (
) geeking out back and forth.

youve been brainwashed
And imo you're crazy for defending an invasion, by agreeing with the narrative that Russia was somehow forced into doing it.
To respond to the part of your post you edited out, my use of 'they' in my previous post was very clearly referring to Putin vis a vis his government and military, not the average Russian.

hello everybody , im from Ukraine. city in eastern part , under siege . feels surreal , really hard to miss things that you are used to when it's almost impossible to buy or get something , even if you have money. so what are people thinking about all this ? ww3 ?
my English is not perfect , I hope you understand what im talking about
I've mostly been thinking about how sad it all is, all the lives that will be ruined and lost in this war. Very very sad times..
Of course I'm hoping it does not escalate into an even larger conflict. I really hope a negotiation leads to Russia backing off before it intensifies further because it is already a horrific and pointless war. Wishing you and your family safety.

What's really dangerous here is how the world, for the majority, is backing Russia into a corner. Ukraine is perhaps being used as a proxy war for bigger players.
Dude, 'backing Russia into a corner?'.. are you really playing the victim card for Putin? They invaded a sovereign nation - they started this war, and can turn around today and there would be no war. The only thing remotely positive about this whole affair is that the world is at least using some means to stand up to obvious belligerent agression.
Of course I wish the western nations actions didn't hurt average Russian citizens, ie those opposed to war. But I think it's much more important to stand up to their dickhead leader, who really has all the power here.

This sounds like huerco s, oversteps era autechre, and rip era actress in a blender. I'm a bit confused why people aren't feeling it, as those are generally pretty beloved records. Maybe it comes across as derivative here? Or spread too thin (too many changing styles) for you folks?
My point being, I really love it.
VI is a swirling centerpiece that only H.S. could make, my favorite track here
The one two punch of III / VI are also super lush and unique to his sound.
VII and VIII sound the most like they could be actress, for me that is a compliment though. VIII is an album highlight for me
IX is not the most successful collab I've ever heard but also sounds pretty unique and gets points for that.
X is a trip

A full length record from Jack J! Seeing this announced last week was a great and unexpected surprise.
If you haven't heard other music from Jack J, Pender Street Steppers (of which he is 1/2), or really anything on the Mood Hut label, all of it is highly recommended listening. I'll let the label describe it (below), but check out the video / first track. I already love and can't stop listening to it.
https://jackj.bandcamp.com/album/opening-the-door
"Well it's been more than 365 days and nights since we released a record on our small and independent record label based in Vancouver, BC. For better or worse we have always operated at a pace that feels natural to us. The same could be said for Mood Hut recording artist Jack J who has not released any music in over seven years. Do you remember his last record? It was called Thirstin' and it came out in the summer of 2015, hot on the heels of Something (On My Mind) which came out the year before.
So naturally after this very long silence we are proud and excited to be able to finally share Opening the Door, the first full length LP by Jack J.
Self-recorded slowly but surely between 2015 and 2019 between Mood Hut and C'est Life Studios, and featuring some crucial saxophone work by Linda Fox, this LP confirms Jack J to be a masterful mood maker as well as an incisive songwriter. Over the course of the album an undeniably blue haze settles over inward-peering ambient jazz, On-U-inspired digital-dub and quiet storm soft rock leaving a distinct sense of sadness amongst all the tangerine funk."releases April 8, 2022

yo that’s actually a really cool track. kind of how i imagined Autechre working with some rappers might sound like, sorta deconstructed and twisted up all amorphous and shit. pleasantly surprised.
Yeah it’s really growing on me as well. Sounds influenced by Sensational, who is, as far as I know the only rapper ae ever remixed officially (Sensachre 10 mix (Autechre remix)). Continuous flow rap and really cool treatment on the vocals. Lyrics are kinda whatever but that’s not really the point, it’s got a vibe

Did you like Railroad blues, or his record as Loidis? Plonk VI is most similar to that stuff, swirling ambient techno. I can’t get enough of it, so good.
then IV reminds me of his earlier records, it bangs when played loud on speakers. That not doing it for you either?
