Somewhere in betweenIs 180db_ really good, or really bad?
WATMM clear this up for me
It's very good. Very very good. I love it. I love the shit out of that track. It's (as they say in the UK) "mental".
Also, structurally, it's about as straight-up of a DJ-friendly rave track as he's ever done. Old school as fuck. It even has the extended drum loop at the end, for mixing purposes.
If you don't get it, it's ultimately your loss.
Richard is masterful in his music making. I don't think he's without errors but I think 180db_ is deliberate and therefore goes beyond good or bad and becomes a question of taste.

After listening to the rest it actually caught me a bit off guard. Looking forward to listening to it another hundred times and then seeing what I think about it. Definitely happy to be listening..
-
I love it. So far it's exactly the album I was hoping for after seeing him live, but I'm only 4 tracks in. 4bit is making me do a big fatty cum.
-
I only listened to the Manchester and Metz previews on that German site, but I think I can be fairly certain in thinking that he used Sausage Fattener for mastering.

Pre-ordered vinyl from Bleep. Not seeing any card or extra content

sounds bad in headphones imo
gonna make a thread about that later I think
orgasmic on my reference planar magnetic headphones
Crazy. I was listening on a Hifiman HE-6. Unless you're using an Abyss (which it could actually sound great on I think), it's hard to find more reference planars. What headphones are you using?
I inherited some Kevek speakers which sound more similar to when he played stuff in the club and I think it's worlds apart with minipops
he-6 needs a amplifier 3W @ 60 ohm
I think it can sound decent on as low as around 2W with the right synergy/decent psu but I was giving them much more than 3W when I was doing my critical listening to Syro

Well, I was never promised any "surprises" per se - that was a bit of Joyrexian Hype™ on my part
I call bullshit, I'm extremely grateful for what you've done Joyrex it's fucking awesome but me thinks that you did expect something additional but it did not actually arrive
Well, of course - I always hold hope that something awesome and unexpected would happen, and it did - Richard didn't have to bother giving the track titles, did he? I'm personally grateful so I don't have to bear idiots making up track names...
lol manners.
I think we're getting 2 close
-
Joyrex, if I may respectfully offer a hindsight-fueled feedback, if you would have said specifically that the release would contain RDJ's original track titles but kept the actual titles under wraps until the release, you would have generated some excitement still but avoided unnecesary speculation. :-)
LOL, I didn't know they were going to supply the track names until I got the files! I was as surprised as anyone!
did the surprise turn out to be what you thought it would be? the digipak wasn't really a surprise to me since I'd been reading the CW Art thread.

really good so far, not what I expected at all
did the 'surprises' not end up panning out? or was that just about the digipak?
Well, the tracknames were one of the surprises - nice, no?
There still might be something coming!
that's actually a great point. having the track names is my definition of a good surprise -- nothing huge, but something I didn't expect at all and makes me happy
-
Thanks so much to Joyrex, Richard, Grant, everyone.
It immediately exceeded my expectations and the more I listen the more I grow fond. Good stuff.
-
thanks I drew it in MS Paint years ago to relax after painting a face all night.

"let's withhold it just a few days and see if those faux-grateful kiddos over at WATMM throw a fit."
patience is observing a desire and leaving it at that. waiting for a period of time, real or imagined has nothing to do with patience.
-
that's a great idea
also I think MassfreeKid has doubled his post count over the course of this thread
-
I found a promo video from the place that's doing the vinyl rip. Looks like this rare vinyl is in good hands.
obstensibly this place looks great, but never trust someone using Stanton gear IMHO

the surprise is there is no surprise!

Good news, everyone! </farnsworth>
Rephlex has allowed me to extend the offer of getting a digital copy of the Caustic Window LP for folks who missed out or had issues with Amazon Payments.
I'm working on getting a page set up where you can buy a digital copy for the same price as the Kickstarter via PayPal - if you've already pledged via Kickstarter, don't alter or cancel your pledge - this is just for folks who missed out or had problems - don't give me more work than I already have!
The URL for the page will be announced soon (probably by the end of the week if all goes well) via the Kickstarter page and here on WATMM.
This will probably be available until the digital downloads are ready (probably a few weeks at the most).
Absolutely makes my day. Thank you.

missed it. been busy with my job and I missed it.
very seriously considering quitting my job and moving back in with my parents. I haven't been this gutted in a long time
-
I know this doesn't help but I've been reading some Krishnamurti lately and I think it's finally jelling for me. Some of the Steinvord stuff is fantastic, right now I can't get over how good Untitled 9 sounds. If it's Richard, great. If it's not, even better, maybe this is a person who will continue to put stuff out.
tl;dr I'm finally getting to the point where I'm unconcerned about Richard's approach to releasing things. How can it be that a forum that prides itself on being intelligent is so concerned?
(I do like these collab ideas though..)
-
for your consideration: one of steinvord's tracks is called "phorumwanky 'intelligent review mix'"

I want to see more of her stuff. That does not convince me
