[Guest the anonymous forumite]

so it seems one should avoid dling the 24bit version because of possible glitches ? I'm at work, can't dl yet.

Disc 2 > Disc 1.

 

There, I said it.

Now I get it.

[gl0tch]

cloudline is killing me.

 

I sort of wish some of the melodies in the other tracks were as up front as this. Interesting pause there like 7 min in.

It's now making me want to buy new monitors with money I don't have. Adam A7x's plz.

You greedy fuckers trying to get three formats simultaneously. Just pick one for now and let the rest of us at least get the mp3s before you clog the tubes up with 2GB transfers. I'm skipping class to come home and hear this so it better download.

By miles. It's incredible. On it's own it would have been more than satisfying as an album.

autecherian non-melody that your brain struggles to recognize in the sounds

 

Was trying to figure out how to describe that

I sounds like the whole family of AE worked on Exai

[six]

 

 

 

Audio cuts out at :48s into bladelores for a split second.

 

Happens on the promo too. Could be part of the track I guess but it does feel a bit odd.

 

That is on mine as well

Yeah Obel... I was totally thinking the same thing. This whole thing is the gift that keeps on giving.

[eugene]

it sounded like a part of the track, there was a bit of reverb tail in that

[Guest pixelives]

The robot doing the scat in cloudline is the best.

[Kavinsky]

Flep is a fight between good and evil

[gl0tch]

deco Loc.

 

 

Straight G.

I thought Disc 1 was a bit too aggressive on the high end, but Disc 2 certainly feels right.

 

I wonder if one was written at a different time period all together. I really hope they give some sort of interview about this album.

[berndspring1974]

fleure is silly,

[Frank Poole]

deco Loc is funky as fuck! I'm really feeling the hip hop vibes on this one.

Compositionally, this is one of their most dense albums. Drum programming wise, it's not. <---- not a bad thing necessarily though

That's one of the reasons I think it's a lot of hardware and not algorithmic beat variation. I don't care about that, As long as they're dope and they are.

Recks On just started and I fucking lost it.

I agree with this statement. I do like some algorithmic drum programming though. I'm really dying to hear what Awepittance thinks of this.

How is everyone finding the album?

[eugene]

How is everyone finding the album?

lush

[gl0tch]

As I enter track 17, I can honestly say I don't hear how some people can say this is like LP5.

 

It sounds like Draft level abstraction with Quaristice hardware. It has the thicker elements of Untilted's thickest songs and the brightest elements of Oversteps songs.

 

LP5 always struck me as melodic and algorithmically programmed. This is the furthest thing from that.
