gmanyo Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 good post. however, I completely disagree with you lol. I think I specifically take issue with how conservative and cheap this record is. it's fashionable nostalgia, it's not perverse in the least. in fact, maybe I'm specifically annoyed that it doesn't go far enough into that confrontational perversion you speak of and merely hints at it while remain too cool for school. last post I guess this is where I disagree. It uses all the whatever fashionable nostalgia, but tbh the nostalgia is not what makes this album for me. The structure of the songs isn't "perverse", but I've heard little else like it. It really seems to me like a more accessible and more musical version of music concrete stylistically, but not just by cheaply referencing it but by mixing the style in a way that's more publicly accessible (which is still not very accessible). It doesn't feel cheap to me at all, and there's plenty of stuff that I like that is totally cheap (like Vektroid's Beer On The Rug releases). Sounds more like reinvented Paul Lansky than nostalgia. edit: One reason I really like the album is simply because of the organizational structure, even ignoring the actual sounds used. It's chaotic, but put together. In that sense it reminds me of why I think AE is cool, because they did stuff with structure that other people weren't doing as much of at the time.

manmower Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 i think it's cool that nowadays you don't have to be good at synthesis, you can just use general midi. and instead of composition chops you can just do like this: fast, unimaginative arpeggio here, followed by wacky chopped up late 90s vox here, followed by more general midi nooding, and have everything tied together with generic sustained synth vox chords. perhaps a few new age samples sprinkled in for good measure. need a video? just smoke a joint and spend your night gathering random bullshit from youtube. guess what? now you're a fucking genius.This is like bashing modernist painting for its lack of photorealism. definitely not. all I'm really saying is i think this record is a cheap thrill. That's fine, I get that too but I think it's intentional, the way it suggests things that it doesn't deliver. I think most will agree he has been a lousy interviewee lately but this bit from FACT was clear to me: This mischievous streak appears to be a recurring theme – when I ask if R Plus Seven could be considered a concept album, Lopatin reveals “it’s more meant to feel like one than actually be one … like who has ever actually listened to The Dark Side of the Moon and actually thought they knew what, like honestly really knew what the fuck the record was about or whatever, including Pink Floyd. It’s a joke.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plarkreluke Banloboh Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Being annoyed on a stylistic level means having some deep assumptions challenged and general world-view fucked with. If a work in question was simply 'bad' i.e. amateurish and poorly executed, then it wouldn't be very annoying. Poorly executed works are easy to dismiss and quickly move on from without much of an impression being left - not annoying enough to post about.

Guest Rulohead32 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 okay I think this is the point where I happily say goodbye to watmm and embrace the rest of the electronic musics diskusion of the internets because fuck if this thread hasn't been filled with pages and pages of the most appallingly boring armchair commentary on an electronic music record ever. last post [giant dick picture] 1) OK YOu know what?That warning point I have is for posting a very much smaller dick than the one you posted inside a vinyl that RDJ was holding. So take it down before a mod sees or if the mod doesn't take it down well then my warning point IS NOT FAIR 2) FOR FUCKS SAKE I WAS IN CLASS WHILE SCROLLING DOWN THIS TOPIC IN MY MOBILE PHONE, sure all my classmates saw the giant dick -__- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Popemobile v2 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 For the blokes who have this on CD, is the album artwork/packaging anything special? I tried to find images on Discogs, but nothing is uploaded there for the album, yet. I'm a bit torn on whether to get the CD or just get the thing digitally on Bleep. (Aside: it would be cool if Bleep started offering the 24 bit things in FLAC. Honestly, the "benefit" to 24 bit is mostly or entirely placebo effect, and having to convert the *big* 24 bit WAVE files to FLAC is not something that encourages such purchases, IMO.)

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 what the fuck is vaporwave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Vaporware is a term in the computer industry that describes a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is never actually released nor officially cancelled. Vaporware is also a term sometimes used to describe events that are announced or predicted, never officially cancelled, but never intended to happen. The term also generally applies to a product that is announced months or years before its release, and for which public development details are lacking. The word has been applied to a growing range of products including consumer, automobiles, and some stock trading practices. At times, vendors are criticized for intentionally producing vaporware in order to keep customers from switching to competitive products that offer more features.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I know what vaporware is. Not quite sure how this pertains to the music, too lazy to figure it out. Someone tell me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
