zero Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 https://bonobomusic.bandcamp.com/album/fragments the first 2 of his albums got a lot of plays from me back 20ish years ago. haven't been much into his stuff for the last few though. Black Sands was p good, the other ones got bogged down with too many vocalists for me. and *sigh* I see several tracks on this new one with the "feat" nomenclature after the track name, which I'd assume to be vocalists. preview track is pretty safe, sounds a bit like something from Four Tet's There Is Love album back in 2010. I lol'd a bit when I read this in the bandcamp write up: Quote One of the biggest names in dance music, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieAddison Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This track is great and pretty similar to the string-heavy Black Sands sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been able to get into the male r'n'b vocals over downtempo beats thing, and so those get skipped. the few tracks here with female vocals also are far too much along the lines of Air/Zero 7 sounds, which has been done to death. now it seems the best of late '90s downtempo is all being done by vaporwave dudes. and even that, I can't tell if they are doing it as a tribute, having a laugh at the scene, or what, so I listen to some of that stuff with a grain of salt.

thumbass Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Extremely bland and incredibly boring. This album sounds like a bad parody of Bonobo, and I didn't think he was any good to begin with. There is literally no originality to this. It's fucken star bucks music or shit for cringe tiktokers that think they know good electronic music.

Polytrix Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Fair enough. I won't bother then. My ex was a big fan of one of his tunes called Linked which I quite liked as it had some acid sounds but yeah... Cheers! Toodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
