    aside from spl9, disc 2 sounds move of ten-the-fucked-OUT, sound quality-wise. no idea what gear they're using, but it sounds CRISP

    how about crafting a legible sentence... WTF are you talking about?

    alright. what the hell are "pads"?

    methinks tuinorizn could've been the most 'agreeable' track for the mix, as it blends pretty well w/the preceding and succeeding tracks. there are probably many less 'palatable' tracks on the album.

    How bout a review of "bladelores" ? ― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Sunday, 27 January 2013 05:18 (17 hours ago) Permalink Like the funky drummer break slowed down about 10 times until it's just this humungous unrelenting thwack echoing into a bottomless chasm. Dirty, gritty little acid squiggles weave around the beat and after a while these great plumes of almost trancey/housey chords start breaking through like the sun coming up on a sodden morning. It's actually a really beautiful piece of music in the same way that Cichli or Garbagemx36 start out quite ugly and malformed but slowly form into a cohesive something or other. Of course as soon as you think everything's going to go full on chorale bliss, Ae pull it all back under and it's back into the boggy marsh, before repeating the whole trick again except this time we're treated to an extended outro of washy church-like organ chords. ― besides Sunny Real Estate (dog latin), Sunday, 27 January 2013 13:18 (9 hours ago) Permalink (from ilxor)

    nope. point me in the direction of a modestly priced, quality turntable. please The American Audio TTD 2400 is a direct drive turntable that costs roughly 100$. That's the best price/quality ratio I've seen so far. Was planning on buying one+the Exai LP on march (unused christmas money) but I don't know whether that's a good placement lol thank you

    another argument for the CD/digital format. I can't rationalize spending upwards of $50 for a bulk of unwieldy-ass materials (4Xvinyl LP) That, and you need a pretty nice turntable/cartridge/stereo setup for crystalline sound.

    people care about this (superfluous) shit, still. it's like decor for your living room. need something to fetishize, the audio ain't enough

    the latter part of 'the trees' really perked up my ears.. the way the beat and the various sounds create a sort of negative space, framing ghost sounds somehow. maybe it's just compression. i get a a lot of smoke/smoldery imagery from that track, as it develops. and the decrepit "melody"

    graham lambkin/jason lescalleet - air supply very warm, melancholy. a variety of sounds. no overt stylization, not saturated w/reverb
  17. spptrl alt del
    though some of the songs feature guitars that have all strings tuned to the same pitch. very spacious, well-produced album. exp jet set - washing machine - thousand leaves are golden

    oversteps, to me, has the least 'depth' of their last 5-6 albums. Treale's monotonous beat is a huge turnoff (doesn't go ANYWHERE, similar to that of RALE's throwaway beat).. qplay is an odd one.. track sets up w/a nice atmosphere and good sounds, but it doesn't MOVE. the percussion elements lack any sense of propulsion -- it feels like a static ambient track with "beats." highlights for me are r ess, pt2ph8, os veix3, and d sho qub. a lot of the rest just feels like a setup for thin, aimless atmospheres. It's a baffling album, and as eugene says, I keep returning to it with hopes of taking something away.

    it reminds me of summer afternoons inside, w/cold-ass air conditioning. something about the reverb/sustain gives it a refrigerator-like vibe. def nice space. it was released in the summer, right?

    what's worse is people getting fixed on the "negative" posts and feel that they need to defend the album.. like it's a personal attack. just let it go, the music obviously of interest to [tregaskin, etc.]

    yeah, no 'hot 32 day' (last track) is pretty dope. just fyi, i'm not saying it's the best album of the year. what i meant was that that's what all the Tuss and Aphex obsessives would be saying if it had 'AFX' written on the front cover instead of "Dave Monolith". i disagree. while i've been enjoying 'welcome' well enough, it sounds inferior (sound quality, etc.) to the tuss albums. if it were indeed AFX, i think "obsessives" would consider it a lesser piece of work? listening back to fredugolon 6, there's just more weight, texture, and imperfection to the sounds/arrangements. the monolith stuff has a level of polish where the sounds don't seem to breathe with the nuance and dynamic range as the those on rushup and confederation.

    well, it seems there's some discussion of the album, and there are regular, intermittent, sort of 'ego princess' check-ins, to let us know their latest stand on the album, or how 'shit' the thread is.
