[Stickfigger 1363]

These beats on 3 are really doing it for me ,

Part 4A is SIIIICK.  Tracks 3 and 4 were immediately refreshing and a great way to start the new year.  Old school Ovuca beats.

[pabs 23]

Ok, I finally finished listening to part 4A.  WOW.  For those of you saying Aleksi puts out too much stuff and you're gonna skip this one, don't.  It's a new direction for him, yet again.  After crunching my brain, it finally dawned on me by about the end that it is very reminiscent of D'arcangelo ala Broken Toys Corner.  This album is very Rephlex, it's like a mix of the above and classic Ovuca.  Some beautiful melodies on this one.  Favorite track MAY be #7.  It's really hard to say.  This album is a single vibe.  I love this guy.

my girlfriend compared him to these Cafe Del Mar compilations

I’m still digesting the Spectrum stuff. I think these are going to have to be the first new Aleksi releases in a while I’m going to be content to stream and not buy off bandcamp.

+1

And ftr I'm usually these days in camp "it's too much". 

[pabs 23]

I totally get the "it's too much" sentiment, but it's all about what you prioritize.  At the end of the day, good music is good music.  If RDJ put out this much music, I'd listen to all of it also.  For me I get excited every time I see AP put something out...I take a lot of walks and have a lot of music time these days, so I'm always down to hear what he has to say.  These have really been hitting the spot during this extra shitty year.

This series in particular has been awesome. I’m walking less lately (Canadian winter lol) but I’m still trying to make time for all of these!

Oh shit, fair enough buddy! I forget that not everybody has walkable weather.

I’ve got a check my southern California privilege…

I am one of those and dammit, yes, 4 A is a complete diverse album of music. And it is quite good.

[sherkaner 77]

This is like if Sun Electric did an album on Rephlex.

[sherkaner 77]

Oo track 12 gives me the tinglies.

I think this might be near the best thing Aleksi has released.

[pabs 23]

Tell me about it…The guy can do so many styles, but this style might be my favorite. He does the dreamscapes thing so well… Getting a lot of Wasted Sunday/Astrobotnia vibes, which is a very good thing!

Well you have piqued my interest there.

I can always count on you to catch my references from like a quarter century ago. You also must be painfully old.
