awepittance Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) the amount of intentional tape hiss on those tracks is hilarious. It is truly funny to me how many new electronic artists just absolutely try to bury their mixes in lofi effects, makes me wonder how a composition by the same artist would sound dry, not reliant on effects for the atmosphere. I'd forgotten how ridiculous that was. C4 towers sounds like him trying to do a demdike stare track off Elemental Edited February 18, 2014 by John Ehrlichman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah to be fair I get a bit of A Demdike Stare vibe from some parts of this album And I do know what you mean about the Lo-fi effects I actualy had a dream about Actress when he played me some tracks and they were really bright shiny straight up Banging Techno and he was like and now I need to fuck it up to get my sound and I was trying to tell him it sounded good to start with! Despite that dream tho its an aesthetic I am a bit of a sucker for Edited February 19, 2014 by kirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well his retirment didnt last long! Tho to be fair its not tagged as an Actress track and the title could be seen as Cheeky nod to his "Retirment" http://www.factmag.com/2014/02/19/download-a-new-actress-track-miami-retirement-condo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markedone Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 had a dream about Actress when he played me some tracks and they were really bright shiny straight up Banging Techno and he was like and now I need to fuck it up to get my sound and I was trying to tell him it sounded good to start with! lol, spot on. Kind of how i feel with this new album. I wish the sludgy pace that he does so well had a bit of shine left in. I love how tracks like Raven from RIP have some dreamy optimism buried within the haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten how ridiculous that was. C4 towers sounds like him trying to do a demdike stare track off Elemental Though this may be the case in some tracks, if you listen carefully in other tracks he uses noise/hiss almost as a brushed hat sound. Its sequenced to interact with the beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlybog Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I stumbled on an interesting comment on Youtube. Someone mentioned that the track "Rainy Dub' could possibly be a remix of Vladislav Delays track 'Poiko'...or an uncredited sample. Strange Cant find Poiko on youtube unfortunately.

Amen Lare Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I stumbled on an interesting comment on Youtube. Someone mentioned that the track "Rainy Dub' could possibly be a remix of Vladislav Delays track 'Poiko'...or an uncredited sample. Strange Cant find Poiko on youtube unfortunately. http://www.doob.fm/music/Vladislav+Delay/_/Poiko There is a close similarity of the main melody sound and its textural background, it could be a pitch-manipulated sample. Even the name of it - Rainy Dub - is more suitable for Delay's track. Hilarious how WATMM unconsciously referenced Delay and got in an argument.

joshuatxuk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So if OPN's R Plus Seven is this, does that make Ghettoville chopped-n-screwed Mortal Combat/10 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plarkreluke Banloboh Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I like how it sounds industrial, I don't mean the genre but as in actual rusty pipes and bolts being hit (a bit like Aphex Twin's 'I Care Because You Do", particularly Alberta Balsam which sounds like an old filing cabinet being dragged). I don't know if this is achieved through effects or acoustic means.. it definitely evokes some kind of harsh terrain, like maybe a Wharfville or Ghettomille.

markedone Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 While all my posts on this page seem very critical, I actually love this album. (I just still love RIP more..) I like how it sounds industrial, I don't mean the genre but as in actual rusty pipes and bolts being hit (a bit like Aphex Twin's 'I Care Because You Do", particularly Alberta Balsam which sounds like an old filing cabinet being dragged). I don't know if this is achieved through effects or acoustic means.. it definitely evokes some kind of harsh terrain, like maybe a Wharfville or Ghettomille. Forgiven has become a favorite. Loads of clanging industrial sounds going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
