chassis

Ill read something when Im not drunk. But I think Tom has the right to be a lil pretentious, hes been making music so long and most of it really very good.

.I was going to maje this thread, kudos man though. All I know is that anything by Bach is gooooood. Also check out Mozarts Piano concerto No. 23. beautiful man. Im excited about this thread.

I want Xabi back he was my favourite player.

I heard Chelsea are looking to sign torres. He better not fucking leave.

And now he is.

My German lecturer said she plays football and she is one hot tamale. But she started camogie which is less hot.

Thats exactly what I said when she got ill. but.... http://forum.watmm.com/topic/62946-httppitchforkcomnews41200-broadcasts-trish-keenan-hospitalized-seriously-ill/page__view__findpost__p__1495161

Ye its shocking. This is like the 3rd thread though.

Read 'em again, youre clearly missing it.

Very clever. Also read the rules.

Lol, I think Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise. But I cant be certain

No Im fairly sure meatbingo is Neil. Cant help you with any other psydos. Are you sure they exist?

People are cunts. I always apprecite the music people share, even if its not my kinda thing or I dont leave a comment. I usually listen to everything.

Neil: Kris: Both of them have amazing stuff up for steaming.

for some people music is a personal hobby and just cause we don't whore ourselves out on EKT YLC doesn't mean we aren't creating. No fair, I want to hear it.

Some people have some sick ass studio and I barely hear any music outta them.

I never got why people thought it was BoC in the first place. All the 80s nostalgia shit doesnt take away from the fact that VHS doesnt sound anything like Boards.

Not saying this is YOUR problem, chassis, as you've had only fair and reasonable things to say on this topic despite not being mindblown. That is to say... OF COURSE YOU CAN DISLIKE THIS, but dismissing this as "bah just more glitch wankery", even though it's so obviously NOT THAT, pretty much qualifies you as a jaded cunt. Which takes me back to the bit that I'm quoting from chassis - i think the very fact that it is his first album is an issue with some, via a very simple, and very very ugly thought process: "he's THIS good, and right off the bat, and on SKAM!? WHY NOT I HAZ CHEEZBURGER?! .... pfff, stupid soulless glitch." And then it becomes fairly obvious why Aphex tried to distance himself from Tuss, why even after being unsuccessful in that endeavor he carries on to officially state that it's not him -> because fanboys will always be fanboys, and for fanboys the only important thing is how much e-peen or idm-peen they can secure via subscribing to something. The whole Tuss debacle was exactly this bullshit: omg this awesome shit ohmigaws it's awesome, it can't just be some couple from fucknowswhere, it has to be aphex , HAS TO BE, ohmigawd it is because of that synth and i can tell from some of the pixels, ok now i can get behind it and REALLY tout its unabashed glory and, most importantly, NOW i can REALLY like it. Of COURSE reputation influences perception, it does mine as well, of course, i'm not naive, but at least i try to only let it steer me positively, in the sense that i DO tend to follow things that go by the grace of reputation, but i DON'T DISMISS ANYTHING on account of how it hasn't acquired one yet: "it's too early to tell", "not that well known", "not that famous", "not aphex/sean/rob/BoC/tom/ceephax/clark/whatever". This last bit is especially relevant in this discussion, on account of how VHS HEAD actually MIGHT be some daddy in disguise. I can't wait for all the fucking "oh it's just some mediocre glitch" naysayers to find out he's one half of BoC or something and then do all the fucking backtracking and "well, you knoowww, after a couple of listens... yeah.... 2010 ALBUM OF THE YEAR YEAAAAAH". All I know is i found this guy on myspace and i thought (i still do, actually, i don't think he's anyone already famous) that he was just this crazy video aficionado with an immense collection of vhs tapes and ungodly aptitude at repurposing them. And it still blew me away. He may never tour, and i could go with never hearing a peep out of him ever, and i wouldn't care. Still best 2010 album hands-down, still completely not "mediocre glitch wankery". Not up your street/not your cup of tea? Fine, sure. But if you think it's objectively "mediocre glitch wankery" then you're a fucking moron. Good points. While my comments dont suggest Im mindblown, this is definitly one of my favourite album from 2010. If you went back to the start of the thread you could probably hear me raving about it. (I bought the LP, something Im not known for doing regularly ) Its pretty clear the reason it didnt get a big massive write up from some of the online critics is because, like you said, when it comes to electronic music if its not aphex/clark/boc etc theyre not interested. Im sure reviewing music for a living you might eventually lose your passion for finding new music. I cant see that happening to me any time soon though.

Its his 1st album guys. You cant go from no one to ultra mega famous. Unless youre some stupid Sony pawn singer. Hes clearly talented, so I expect another few good releases from him and to get the exposure that he deserves eventually. Also: No offence, but the electronic music scene seems to be fraught with jaded fucks.

I like how they it splits up on the 4 sides. Its so long that its more like 4 mini EPs and I can start anywhere and enjoy it.

lol Love that video
