  1. After a few more listens I think I'd put this album up there with anything by BoC & most stuff by Aphex in terms of personally enjoyable ambientish technoish music
  2. Just got my CD. It's awesome looking & I am legit excited to hear it again
  3. Fart of Noise Caption Queefheart & his Magic Hand
  4. Fat shakeup for Poly800, Cloud Capture
  5. I like to imagine this thread as a fight circle in the parking lot outside a dive bar "LET'S SEE YER FUCKIN NULLS MAN! LET'S SEE SOME FUCKIN NULLS!"
  6. That's like saying popular writers who don't come up with clever chapter titles are lazy writers. Also I generally interpret most musicians who go by their own name as either: A. Trying not to draw attention away from the music itself with some sort of colourful persona, or B. Not bothering with an alias that probably won't represent their views/sound in a few years
  7. I usually just go da-da-da-dada-dada-etc in my head & figure out what those notes were.
  8. When the chorus comes in things get funky as all shit
  9. Current set-up: -Aspire 1 Notebook -current Jeskola Buzz build -Bose headphones -Zoom H2 recorder -various household objects for most of the sounds (doorbell, plastic cups, toilet seat, banjo, Korg MS-10, etc)
  10. I was gonna say System of a Clown but turns out that's already a thing: s'not bad
  11. waitwaitwait You mean you don't collect synths as a cover story for your dope growing operation?
  12. I've tried tuning it in the past but it wouldn't budge. I've grown to like the dissonance it makes

  14. i bot cd Also I sent this to my ambient listening compatriots & they all agree it's rather class
  15. Previews sound pretty tight. I might pick up the physical copy with all this new album internet skrilla I've been making. Are there shipping charges on it, or is it just the $15 flat?

  17. Currently following: -Walking Dead -Swamp Thing -Animal Man -Detective Comics -Action Comics (which has recently been rebooted & taken over by Grant Morrison) -Justice League Dark -giving most of the DC relaunch a few issues to leave an impression All time favs: -Alan Moore's Swamp Thing -Akira -Miracleman -Sandman -Shade, The Changing Man
  18. So I finally gave this album a listen. I was really excited to hear it after hearing Sunset Everett - it had the same pop meets IDM meets chopped up vocals vibe that I dug so much in Windowlicker (probably my favourite Aphex Twin track because I'm an UNCOOL CASUAL) without at all feeling like a knockoff. First impression on the album, I like it, but Sunset Everett feels a level above the rest because of that killer recurring riff. Of course, this could well be one of those albums where other tracks hold themes just as nice which only reveal themselves on multiple listens. I did feel like it might have been a bit too long, though. 10/20 minutes could probably been shaved off I bet. Again, first listen impressions so iunno.
  19. I'm happy Bein' free Drugs Drugs Drugs Give 'em all to me
  20. I don't know much about Moby except that WATMM doesn't seem to like anything he's done since he stopped making hardcore techno type music, but this song is pretty catchy
  21. ^The MS-10 is awesome. If I ever have the money I'm going to buy another 3 or 4 of them. Or possibly something from the Korg PS series.
