remote control is very cool. the whole album sounds like a akufen/ team doyobi collaboration.

 

indeed!!!, there is an Akufen similarity in some parts!!!

 

apparently Akufen's "My way" album (2002) is just made of microsamples taken from fm radio

 

I'm enjoying it A LOT now, I downloaded it like 3 years ago but never listened to it properly, maybe just the first tracks, I'm glad I rediscovered it again, now everybody go and check it, it's excellent

Well nearly the end of December now. This was album of the year for me. Haven't heard anything with such a sense of identity and beauty since BOC's debut back in 1998.

[mcbpete]

Agreed, album of the year for me too. Absolutely stunning, I haven't had such an emotional connection with an album in absolutely ages...

[Terpentintollwut]

+1 for album of the year

[nerv]

hard to decide between this and oversteps for album of the year

[oscillik]

i think everyone already knows what i think about this album, but i'll say it again.

 

this is definitely album of the year for me.

I would like to share my feelings of love to WATMM for being the only website that promotes the existence of this magnificent album. Maybe the media press are all the same shit, reviewing the same albums all over, but you don't

 

I luv you watmm

Agreed. Not that I'd love to see this go mainstream, but it's really an accessible album with a great sound.

I'm sure I've given this more listens than any other album this year. It's really a shame that it was ignored by the press... oh well

 

On an unrelated note, I also just remembered this page, referenced earlier in this thread, that contains some very similar work:

It certainly sounds like him, doesn't it?

i've heard a few other soundclouds and artists that've been rumoured or suggested to being vhs head. this soundcloud i am absolute convinced. some of the songs have edits which sound rather identical /incredibly similar to that on the album. plus, i'm getting the same HOLY FUUUUCK reaction to these tracks. thanks heaps for posting, this stuff's fucken wicked.

[Guest bitroast]

ooh, homecharlie posted it. sicksicksick

[thief]

sounds like a bradley strider sample in franco zoom to nowhere

missed the boat...good album...very heavy but i dont know if I can say most of these tracks constitute what I would call a song... interesting but I don't understand how people have this on repeat

[Guest Gravity]

I really need to pick this up, I've been listening to Sunset Everett on youtube since it came out.

some people get it, some people don't. you fit into the category that doesn't.

 

why do some people think that everyone on watmm has to listen to and like the same shit?

 

this is how i feel. then again, glitch is a dead horse, sooooooo

your statement would be applicable if this album were glitch. but it isn't.

If you want to stop coming across as such a cunt try re-reading your posts before you press add reply.

 

Still dig this record but don't play it often, maybe it'll click again in the future. Top 11 - 15 of the year imo.
