Atoms for Peace - Amok

[sidewinder]

I went, I saw, I bought. Looks nice but wish the sleeve wasn't just blank white on the back. Like you said, maybe I'll sell it at some point.

They sold about 30 via their website, so I'm sure some out-of-towners were able to snag some. The rest were reserved for in-store purchase. When I went around 1pm there were about 9 copies left, all done by now I presume.

Thom & Nigel made a new dj set at BBC and they played an unreleased Radiohead song:

They also played Clark and Aphex Twin's "Cilonen".

Cool, thanks.

I kind of agree with the previous posts, but that said I love the shit out of this album. Fuck's sake though, I've been advised to expect further delays with the vinyl. Don't expect to actually see it now, last time I order from Sandbag.

Yeah I preordered too, from norman records, no sign of the lp yet though... Don't know what's going on with this, did they make it ridiculously limited or something? Quite rare to not get something even after placing an order before the actual release date.

Any Thom Yorke output is welcome. Best if he does use computers himself. Love The Eraser, of course a lot of Radiohead as well. Downloading... looking forward to this.

 

Someone in this thread wrote it's an Eraser II: OH YES PLS

Now I want an Ae/Thom collab :)

Or Thom singing to Exai/cloudline.

S.A.D. is a pretty decent song. Don't really see the sense in JJ&E being released digitally without it though.

[Guest Chogg]

This is a hundred times better than the king of limbs. More focus on songwriting. Having the new band is good for Thom I think. Really enjoying this album.

I feel blessed to get this & Exai within a few weeks of each other. Kind of mindblowing, actually.

[Guest Rulohead32]

omg!! Thom and Nigel are coming to my city, Barcelona! Anyone saw them live? How was it?

[sidewinder]

Ok so I enjoy this album, but right now it's sitting at 3.5/5 on my RYM scale.

[jules]

I burned out on it rather quickly and I honestly think it's the production

'default' and 'ingenue' are beautiful tracs

[Rubin Farr]

someone needs to do a photo mashup of the Aphex logos crashing down like the cover of Amok

Vinyl finally arrived today, and fuck me. Don't know whether to play it, fondle it or jizz on it. So far I've achieved two out of three there.

[Guest]

that is some genius MD live tweaking.

[Soloman Tump]

After first listen through, I rather like this album. Definitely a continuation / evolution of "The Eraser", will no doubt give it more plays this weekend.

[Caretstik]

will no doubt give it more plays this weekend.

 

Hope you did sir. I burned out on it a little until the vinyl arrived, and now I'm getting obsessed with it all over again. I can see how people might not get on with the production (a bit samey?), but it appeals to my ears, and I think Thom's vocals keep improving as he gets older.

[markedone]

aw man, no Northwest US dates :(

edit: well shit, I probably wouldn't have got tickets in time anyways. I checked the Santa Barbara CA show, and all of the floor tickets are sold out, and fuck sitting down at a show like this..


but still:

to me, they're the yin & yang of where electronic music is at in 2013. one's very dancey/poppy/repetetive/accessible, while the other is all like "check out how much glorious synthetic sound we can cram into two hours". yet they both share in common beautiful melodies, genius composition, and just great jams.
