    this was mentioned in another forum (not sure if its been mentioned here) - DekDre Scap B could be a reference to Deckards Dream - https://black-corporation.com/product/deckards-dream-mk2/ 

     

    that would explain a lot of the vangelis type sounds on signs as well.

     

    so far im preferring Signs but i need to listen to this one a bit more

    deckard dream scape b.  pretty believable given how the track sounds, and sean played some stuff on the radio streams that indicate he's into that era of synth music (vangelis, tangering dream)

    WHOA

    first listen, on ecol4 right now and this is my fav so far, this track is incredible

    agreed.  i said (accidentally in the sign thread) that 7FM ic was early fav but I might have to change - ecol4 on headphones just completely blew me away

    what news to wake up to!  just starting the work day here though.. browsed the samples (tasty) but will save a full listen for tonight.  THX/SEAN/ROB 

    pretty convinced it was the Find the Bathtub thread that pushed them over the edge to release it. thx @Squee

    its not his erratic mannerisms that bother me (i just hope he's well, and frankly we already have a president who cant make a coherent sentence so it clearly doesnt impede "leadership")

    its his actual ideas (and ego), hinting at theocratic dictatorship, that are worrisome.  he pivoted a political question into his idea of a badass mega choir, which he presumably thinks could "heal" the nation?  he wants to be the center of everything and also projects his own ideas of success and healing which are super wack

    'maxy' played live at this event/tribute to mort garson.  looks like the location and weather were just about perfect for listening to synthesizers..

    i really love piece#2

    I need to rip this video into an album.. will probably do that later..  I just gave it another listen today, and the pitch bendy tuning stuff going on in Piece 5 is sublime

    @Alcofribas @fumi imo the opn track is a very well crafted pop-ballad type track. the melody is quite catchy and the oddball flourishes are what he brings to the table better and different than any other producer imo; its only 'unimpressive' if youre wanting it to be something else.  every artist constructs the rules for their own music making and i think youre doing them a disservice by attributing it mainly to outside pressures and 'being big'.  like i can pretty clearly trace the trajectory of his interests into this current material, which is sort of what 80s pop music (audience-facing, mtv-airing type stuff) could evolve into.  i also disagree with your assesment of tim hecker as i think he has consistently managed to find new facets to explore within his sound, but that's an argument for another fan-fiction- er, thread. lol

    i do get where your criticisms are coming from btw, as i also listen to newer opn way less than his older stuff.. but its kind of a matter of taste no? because i would bet layering up juno-60 loops certainly took him way less 'craft' than making a more fleshed out 'song', but we connect with that more abstract approach

    I love bandcamp but I agree — pretty mediocre article and of course I have all the music already.

    BUT I did want 2 bump this thread to point out: the COVER ART of several of the bandcamp releases here is pretty high-quality (1200 x 1200 — higher than I’ve been able to find elsewhere for myself anyway, and fairly crispy in most cases), so if you’re like me and always looking to beef up the embedded artwork 4 your files, click around on these release pages and snarf away

    PUMPED to have rather crispy GANTZ GRAF album art for my files all of a sudden!

    Thanks for the tip... i also like to keep my digi collection crisp and those bandcamp ones are just that.

    I do find it interesting how LP5, EP7, Chiastic (among others) are physical media scans, while Tri Rep looks to be a digital source.

    Big fan of Hand Cranked (and Fi) but I'll take this opportunity to once again voice my extreme desire for a Vignetting the Compost repress. I like Ambivalence Avenue well enough also, but Vignetting just resonates with me. 

    Some day! It's between VTC and Orbus Terrarum by The Orb for "#1 vinyl repress I regularly complain about wanting". Give me what I want!

    Im sure itll come (next probably).  Mush records put out both hand cranked as well as vignetting so looks like warp picked up the rights to his back catalogue.  Vignetting also never had a vinyl issue, so im sure youre not the only one who wants a copy.

    Hand cranked is just barely my favorite because it is a bit more abstract and a more consistent sound bath.

    But i also love Vignetting.. I have some veeeeeerrrry fond memories of listening to The Ephemeral Bluebell with friends - parked by the ocean at night - windows open - getting high before going on a walk.  That song is absolute perfection of the technique of overlaying forwards and backwards looped guitar.

    Heeeere comes a 13 year bump!

    Warp will be reissuing Hand Cranked LP for the first time since its initial release.

    Its my personal favorite bibio album.  A hard to define collection of guitar tracks that verge from straight faced folk to rather hypnotic psychadelic loops.  I vaguely remember lurking watmm at the time of this thread and its funny to read it back again..  After his debut album Fi, bibio was often talked about (at least here on watmm) in relation to BoC, but with Hand Cranked, imo he stepped firmly in new territory of his own.  Its a very unique album and I highly recommend giving it a listen!

    but that Guardian-review is kinda cringeworthy. "Crowded dystopian soundworld?" No one else is in Autechres soundworld, you lazy prick. "Negative space?" Can't imagine a more positive space tbh.

    "crowded market".. fuck off guardian. sounds like that spotify ceo´s comments about musicians having to adapt to (his) market

    my gf and I had a nicer nonstick pan (a step up from baseline department store fare). And then one day we came home and our roommate was literally scraping it clean with a fork.. we talked with her but she had been doing it for a while, the damage was done :cry:

    keep telling myself ill get a cast iron someday but never get around to it

    Right? I wanted to mention it. it really reminds me of lone somehow

    his melodies on this track is so touching, im quite shock by this album. will explore Beltran discography. any pointers?

    Hopefully someone else has more exhaustive knowledge, but from my limited dive>

    The previous release under Placid Angles is also great - The Cry (1997)

    Ten Days of Blue (1996) is amazing, a classic ambient techno release.  But sidenote; John recommends not to buy the reissue or digital from Peacefrog records, in what seems to be an unfortunate / exploitative rights-holding situation.  Read https://www.residentadvisor.net/news/42370

    He has lots of stuff @ https://johnbeltranmusic.bandcamp.com/releases, i woud also like someone to give me a primer.  There are a few other watmm threads for recent releases, can consult those
