Amen Lare Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 This EP is on a Gantz Graf & ISS:SA scale of intensity, for those who asked. Shocking to know that they have double album and this sort of stuff hanging at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 newbound is the only track in which I find they challenged themselves and they actually made an interesting tune. But it still loses all the magic at 2 minutes in. I find these songs way too long for what they are. Funny thing is I may even agree with you, but making this call literally minutes after the ep was released smacks of douchery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking to know that they have double album and this sort of stuff hanging at the same time.This was my initial impression upon hearing the samples. I'm glad someone else agrees!

lumpenprol Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 this isn't music! (kidding) interesting though. Right after dissing rulohead, I find myself kind of agreeing with him. This is pleasurable, but it does feel a bit thin. I don't mind the length of the tracks at all, but there doesn't seem to be as much to unpack or digest as with typical ae. I had a hunger to listen to exai after listening to it for a few times. tac Lacora does have some very similar sounding elements to gantz graf. overall the ep is very soundtrack-y imo, sounds like a soundtrack to a short film. I like the sense of space in it, sounds like looking over some vast futurescape, watching industrial waste bubble up and smokestacks belch periodic flame a la Blade Runner. Quite playful as well. It's an odd one...hmm....very wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This EP, unlike Exai, is more for a background music, a constant leitmotiv, more conceptual than musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Lare Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 It's the opposite of background music, it's constantly shifting, if you won't pay attention it does nothing unlike ambient drowning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Miblo Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Instant love already as 'Osla for n' begins. I've put it into MusicBrainz styling it L—event (U+2014 and lower case "e"). Anyone got a handle on the definitive official title? If this is wrong, feel free to edit it. Also, regarding the FLACs, do they not become 16bit after encoding? I suspect so because I once tried burning a 24bit WAV (of 'see on see', as it happens) to CD without success, encoded it as FLAC and then the burning went through smoothly. …as 'newbound' beams into my ears.

Guest pixelives Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 The mixing/ mastering on this is really nice. Lot's of depth and "wet" was a very good description. Feels very stormy and rainy and rusty. Perfect Autumn record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These FLACs are 16-bit, cost as much as WAV 16-bit and you still got an option to download WAV 16-bit when buying FLAC, but there is a possibility for FLAC to be 24-bit, too.

Ah, cheers for clearing that up, Amen Lare. Yeah, `man flac` says you use --bps=# to set bits per sample. Maybe the default is 16. I may encode my 24bit WAVs to 24bit FLAC for tall bit depth scrobbling goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiddleBot Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Sounds great. Lots of interesting changes in the first couple tracks then they go all hypnagogic at the end. Much enjoyed. Good mix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
