Goiter Sanchez Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 All the Freeform tracks I've heard have been excellent. He is a seminal figure of the 'IDM' scene and yet I find little reverence for his catalog, even on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 he needs to put something out on the warps again or the rephlex. such a lovely, soft sound. so many details and so much personality in his musics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 didnt realise he had released on warp or rephlex? He was on skam for awhile. But yeah he is really good but strangely under the radar, also didnt know about his advanced beauty album.. http://simonpyke.ban...advanced-beauty will have to get that as well me thinks, & theres a few of his older albums on his bandcamp which I aint heard before, all sound like there well worth a fiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh Speedy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The Free EP on Skam is one of the best things they ever put out, Yet his Prowl EP for Warp was so boring and awful. I'd have to say he's kind of hit and missy but I know what you mean about him being ignored. I mean he doesn't get near the attention Bola does I feel, and he's put out so much more. I mean you can pick up the guy's entire catalog for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecharlie Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 awesome news! I've been going through somewhat of a Freeform phase recently. I'd say that his albums are a little hit and miss, but the hits are some of the best electronic music around. I've been really digging Wildcat and Human. Also, it's worth checking out Advanced Beauty if you haven't already... there are some great tracks on there. Like Autechre, some of his best pieces have appeared on compilations. I really like Darklebeetle from the ICASEA comp, and Fyonk is a classic off the 2nd Alternative Frequencies compilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 elastic collisions and epic tenori have certain ring to them, very beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Darklebeetle from the ICASEA comp, and Fyonk is a classic off the 2nd Alternative Frequencies compilation. yeah, that compilation track really peaked my interest in him and have been listening to a lot of Human and Outside In recently. happy to see some new releases : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 theres some videos from the Advanced Beauty project on you tube, Very nice. Didnt realise his brother Mat who was involved in this used to be part of The Designers Republic as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSbYLmd-bvg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danshoebridge Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 will have to get that as well me thinks, & theres a few of his older albums on his bandcamp which I aint heard before, all sound like there well worth a fiver My favoutite of his has always been: http://simonpyke.bandcamp.com/album/audio-tourism-vietnam-china Great album that sounds like nothing else I can think of. Collisions is sounding pretty good, surprisingly straightforward production-wise compared to a lot of the other freeform stuff. Epic Tenori reminds me of Phillip Glass.
