  1. Depeche Mode, Black Celebration Shabazz Palaces, Black Up Oval, Ovalcommers Fluorescent Grey, Ambiente (particularly Disc 2) Shostakovich, Symphony no 4 Dalglish, Benacah Drann Deachd GAS, Modern All fantastic in their own way. God, I'm really thankful to have heard these.
  2. oh my god, ovalcommers is so incredible...
  3. Soundwave have you listened to mark fell's Multistability? It's my favorite of his stuff from the last few years. hmm, In fact, I think I'll listen to it later...

  5. Would me sucking your dick help you remember?
  6. this is it. GAS is isn't music. GAS is a concept, a series of objects to be admired from various angles. GAS isn't music about a forest, it is the forest. i'm glad someone else besides me and voigt gets it. i have been lost in GAS. because GAS lends itself to being lost in. Yes.
  7. Don't listen to Nah und Fern, the tracks have been remastered and don't sound right due to overcompression. It's hard to understand why he would do this :( If you want to taste the sublime magic of GAS, try a vinyl rip of the original individual releases. That complaint aside, I will make a few remarks/claims. 1. Every GAS album is better than the previous ones. 2. The GAS albums are the most profound contributions to the human artistic corpus from the last 25 or so years. Especially Pop. The genius of Pop, I suspect, has not been realized by most listeners. Maybe because they write it off as "soothing ambient music" or "music to fall asleep to", which is bullshit. I don't want to make a list of the specific aspects of Pop that make it such a timeless thing of beauty, because it's something that should be discovered. I can only invite you to give it some careful listens with an open mind. 3. If you really love GAS, you should purchase the book from Raster Noton. The visual component compliments the music very strongly in both a conceptual and aesthetic sense.

  9. lol, exai sucks, but bladelores is the best thing they've done since IDM-classic "amber".
  10. I'm curious about the specifics of how this can be predicted in advance? Yes this album has been very "immediate" for an ae album. Nevertheless my perception of the album has shifted quite a bit just in the last couple weeks, with no sign of stopping. These tracks are (mostly) really dense
  11. Bold statement, but I agree. This music changed my life (seriously, it did)
  12. lol, i am not surprised, they never understand electronic music Even when they gave Confield an 8.8? Oh ok, you're right.
  13. "To hell with critics' reviews in general. I trust only the reviews and criticisms by real fans." I don't even trust that! That would lead to problems such as discerning which fans are real and which aren't, not to mention giving my own ears less credit than I think they're due.
  14. yeah it runs all through the track, it sounds most like a piano at the beginning. No idea whether it's sampled or not.
  15. Damn, I need to go home and listen on my monitors. Fuck living in a college dorm!
  16. This album could take third for me (behind chi and draft). Like other people the pieces are finally snapping into place -- first it was little parts of tracks that I liked, then whole tracks, and now I'm starting to get a glimpse of the bigger picture. I'm astonished, mindfucked, that they can be making music this compelling and deep after two decades at it. Fleure is their best opener since xylin room (at least).
  17. I haven't been reading this thread since the album came out, but I'm just here to say --this album is incredible. I'm finding it way less immediate than I thought I would based on what people were saying, though. --I don't have keyosc, where can I get it?
  18. OMG BLEEP IS SLOW AS FUCK, I CAN'T EVEN LOAD THE HOME PAGE
  19. Count me in. There are different levels at work but yes I adhere to this fully.
  20. Brownout is utterly perfect, one of the funkiest albums I own but atmospheric as fuck. There's nothing like it. I can't even hope to do justice to it by writing a bunch of words here so I'll cut myself off.
