joseph Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 One thing that makes this album highly memorable for me is that every track has its own personality, its like each track is its own world. It's very rare to find albums new or old that pull this off. Yet it still manages to be highly coherent as a whole too. How do people think Demissions compares to Brownout? I would like to hear more from Phoenecia along the likes of Echelon Mall. For some reason it has been highly ignored/underrated/written off but I think its absolutely captivating. http://vimeo.com/9079601 http://vimeo.com/9075108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 IV Port is the hidden gem on this album! (where by hidden l mean massively underrated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grue Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 i've been listening to this album quite a bit recently. sort of rediscovered it after leaving it alone for a while. i'm surprised by how much i enjoy nostrum remedium now. i found it quite tedious at first but i think i just had trouble following the beat; it's almost as if the real beat is hidden under a fake beat, so if you're not listening carefully it's easy to get lost. (or maybe i was just dumb). i also agree with joseph that each track has its own personality yet the album is very cohesive; it's similar to a lot of autechre that way, though i don't really want to compare them too much anyway, the album as a whole is really great. not sure if i like it as much as brownout, but it's growing on me so who knows what i'll think later.

Guest sljiva Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 What the fuck is with Seba by the way? Is that the most mediocre ambient track ever or what? I bet Biosphere has tons of tracks like that stashed somewhere because he was embarassed to release such mediocrity. And I still fucking hate Frendano. I also don't like the fact that tracklist is screwed on the back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Seba is nice, and I think it fits well in the context of the album. The reason I like it is because it feels almost like horn sounds, and so reminds me in a weird way of a stripped down, cleaner GAS track (like something off of Konigsforst or Zauberberg....I realize that comparison is a bit crazy) But I do prefer Phoenecia more in the mode of Echelon Mall when they're making ambient sounds (like in the videos I posted).

mcbpete Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 What the fuck is with Seba by the way? My favourite track from the album. And a track with a melody so heart wrenching that the first time I heard it I had to immediately repeat the track to hear it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a track with a melody so heart wrenching that the first time I heard it I had to immediately repeat the track to hear it again. yeah it is one of the stand outs for me. It captures a similar mood as the soundtrack by cliff martinez to Solaris. Which is a movie and an album I played to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
