karmakramer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Damn, I think I need to get this on vinyl only on the first track lol, but its pretty fucking great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakramer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 yep... definitely getting this on vinyl... could be my favorite release by him yet, but blue shift is also very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chax Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 i might be in the minority here but after my initial listen through i'm definitely not enjoying this as much as i thought i would apart from the track event horizon they waited, it seems like everything just sounds the same to me. there's something really weird going on with the drums. did he use a live drummer in this album? i also reealllly hate the track toynbee i find blue shift emissions to be a much better album maybe i have to listen to this more, hoping it grows on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joebot Kill Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 yep. I'm definitely liking this so far. His stuff gets better with every release! Benbecula fucked up my order and sent me the CD instead of the vinyl. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joebot Kill Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 finally got my copy on LP. It sounds richer, and warmer. The percussion definitely benefits from it. I thought it sounded kinda of tinny on CD. And I agree in part about Christ. being under-appreciated. He should definitely be a bigger deal. But compared BoC, his sound isn't nearly as organic or as intricately put together. Not to hate on Christ. though, the new album is amazing.

lumpenprol Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I haven't heard this but unless people say this is astonishing, I'll continue to think he peaked early at the Pylonesque ep. I thought that one was great, but subsequent releases have been progressively so-so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 why doesnt christ. get any love? everyone pees themselves over boc but dont even pay attention to christ.? this album is killer. you all need more christ. in your life. I'm new to Christ. and have only heard Blue Shift Emissions. I think it's competent, yet it hasn't really impressed me. A little too clean and simple maybe? Kind of feel the same way with my limited exposure to Kettel. Simple's probably not the right word. But clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bramsworth Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The only song he's done I like is Making a Snow Angel. Everything else feels like it just goes by and isn't much in the way of a song, but more like...noise being played in a certain key and it stays coherent with itself, but doesn't go anywhere. I'll listen to this soon, but it didn't feel like a single track stood out through the previews I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll listen to this soon, but it didn't feel like a single track stood out through the previews I heard. I think this is one of the reasons I like christ. it's like more of an atmosphere that you can get lost in. Maybe it's because I make music of the same type though? I just love to get lost in a track and all of a sudden it's over and you're like what? that was 5 minutes? more please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spptrl alt del Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 this feels a lot weaker than blue shift.. not certain though. kinda reinforces the notion of christ.s music as a toy boards, or boards-lite. blue shift is great, though. distance... feels slight, airy. like it's on autopilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'toynbee' sounds like some mario bros crap im actually feeling this al lot more than blue shift. dont get me wrong, i love that record but this feels less samey and a lot more playful. this is the closest he has ever sounded to twoism boc and i think he's better for it. why hide it? lots of more straight forward funkier stuff this time around.

kaen Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 recieved 6 discs in the post today from benbecula this is the first christ. release that ive ever been dissapointed with on first listen - just have to see if i start digging it as its played more, im not that optomistic tho seems alot more meandering than any of his previous work - maybe he had trouble focusing i dunno...

homecharlie Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 My expectations for this were low given the mixed comments here; however, I must say that I immediately like it better than Blue Shift Emissions. It's way more varied and relaxed, and the music itself is more interesting. There's a good chance that this might supplant Metamorphic Reproduction Miracle as my favorite christ. album. By the way, does anybody know where Christ. will go now that Benbecula is closing shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redruth Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 pleasure delayed on this one. listening now finally and i am so pleased. what a fantastic album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I've still got the 12'' of this standing in one of my drawers. It always takes me ages to get round to listening to vinyl for some reason - I had one of the Leyland Kirby albums for about 3 months before I heard it.
