I couldn't understand all the negativity about this album. There are some wonderfully evocative tracks on here. 'Infinite Us' is a track I've listened to hundreds of times now. I think I had it looping for about six hours at one point earlier in the year.

 

Also love the last track on the previous album 'Rooms' - 'Where Did We Go Wrong?'

 

Regards

I was a bit underwhelmed when I first heard it, but I've ended up playing it loads since it came out and still not bored of it at all.

 

It's a really solid album I reckon, there's a lot more depth to it than I first thought.

That live video is amazing. The reverb on the guitar on top of those sweet beats and stuff, hnnnggg.

Nice, I liked the use of instruments, I wasn't expecting it to be so er… live.

Vapor City is no good as Room(s), but Machindrum is awesome in live! ;-)

[dr lopez]

how do you think this has aged guys

[zaphod]

pretty well but i'm guessing you don't

it's aged a lot better than most of the real footwork and juke stuff from that time period tbh

[auxien]

The good songs (most of them) still sound good or even better with time but the meh songs (U Still Lie, Baby It's U, there's another I can't remember) have become unlistenable. Still some good B-Sides to round it all out though.

[usagi]

fuck u say, U Still Lie is one of the best trax on there.

[Ivan Ooze]

great album and i'm sure i would love it if i heard it for the first time now but after 3month's i was done with it

[auxien]

U Still Lie is one of the best trax

U had it straight here though, that was a good performance.

kill Human Energy, fuck Vapor City, marry Room(s)

Human Energy > Rooms > Vapor City

no it was an honest question because i think it has aged quite nicely. lots of good tracks on here. Not sure that the "real footwork" has aged badly.. DJ nate stuff is so hilarious it doesn't even feel from any time period.

 

We can kill, fuck or marry Room(s), Vapor City and Human Energy now

 

obviously fuck human energy (hot hipster LA chick), marry vapor city (cool, chill girl but still has good taste), kill room(s) - annoying try-hard; dresses "street" and speaks in AAVE but is white etc

lol this is incredibly accurate.

[Kidrodi]

Vapor City was my introduction to Machinedrum. I still like it very much.

 

Human Energy has actually grown on me substantially considering I could barely stomach it when it came out. I guess it depends on how comfortable you are with bubbly happy sunshine pop music which I'm not but it's catchy so what the hell.

i thought you preferred room(s)? 

 

anyway i think vapor city is a bit better but i've always thought that. where i changed is now i think it's better than the dj rashad record from that period and the rp boo stuff. dj nate is like something else entirely.
