kuniklo Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. +1 And ftr I'm usually these days in camp "it's too much". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabs Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one of those and dammit, yes, 4 A is a complete diverse album of music. And it is quite good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherkaner Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 This is like if Sun Electric did an album on Rephlex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherkaner Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Oo track 12 gives me the tinglies. I think this might be near the best thing Aleksi has released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabs Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back to listening to them on San Francisco trains on my discman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lopez Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 my take is that there are amazing tracks on all of them so far and you're a fool for not listening to everything he puts out. sifting through it all is part of the fun. the lesser tracks put you in colundi headspace and uncovering a gem is a great discovery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get stoked for the sifting every time! However, I do think that 4A may be his best overall album in the last 2 years, which is saying a lot given his volume of releases...anybody who doesn't like the treasure sifting that we do should at least listen to this one. I just can't stop listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
