Silent Member Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 He's good at what he does, but his melodies are pretty forgettable, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarion Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Omar Rodriguez Lopez. I think that's pretty apt; as much as he collaborates he's too technical and self-absorbed for his own good. I could not stand One Word Extinguisher and I don't understand the hype it got; but maybe I should listen to it again. Ampexian was cash but I like that ADD style of music which I believe turns many people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like One Word Extinguisher and the EP that was associated with it that had a bunch of B sides. His Hip Hop sensibility is the bee's knees. Edit: just checked streaming, and it looks like he released an LP this year called Fudge Beats, might give'r a listen today.

onecaseman Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Early stuff was amazing. Agreed he fell off bad. A Cloud Mireya super slept on. Still one of my favorite artists overall. Also Machinedrum who started this style at the same time. Delarosa + Asora stuff: 7/10 Folk Songs: 8/10 Vocal Studies: 10/10 92 v. 02 Collection: 10/10 One Word Extinguisher: 10/10 Extinguished: 10/10 Reads The Books: 8/10 Piano Overlord: 7/10 Surrounded by Silence: 10/10 A Cloud Mireya: 10/10 Security Screenings: 4/10 Preparations: 3/10 Ampexian: 8/10 Oversensitivity: 8/10 Only She Chapters: 3/10 Rivington Nao Rio: 7/10 Fudge Beats: 7/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enthusiast Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Sacrifices was the first thing he did in a long time to grab my attention, really good album (I think there was some discussion about it on this forum somewhere...) Extinguished Outtakes is my favourite of his, so much tighter than the main album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard Meditation Upon Meditations (The Japanese Diaries), also from 2009? I don't recall the details of its release, but it was on Beat Records in Japan and not on Warp - I didn't find out about it till 2 years later I think. Anyway I found it quite good, 8/10 like Ampexian. I probably said it in this thread already but Diamond Watch Wrists with Zach Hill was terrible. The real turning point in my mind.

Extinguished Outtakes is my favourite of his, so much tighter than the main album. Damn I never got around to Sacrifices. Probably because I thought Rivington Não Rio and the 2 accompanying EPs were so boring. Although the samples sounded like an improvement over those. I've heard a few tracks from Fudge Beats that I passively enjoyed - nothing earth-shattering. I believe that's just the instrumentals release of the album Lady Parts, a collaboration with some dude named Michael Christmas. Project was called Fudge. The few tracks I heard from that didn't appeal to me, I'm sure I'd enjoy the instrumentals much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but I don't remember it. I also don't remember the Ahmad Szabo stuff in general. I forgot about Diamond Watch Wrists, but yes, it was very terrible.

august Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I love his hip hop. I've been digging through his warp releases from ~20 years ago. He gets really moody beautiful elements. security screenings: https://warprecords.bandcamp.com/track/matrimonioids-for-elivin-susana-estela '92 vs '02: https://warprecords.bandcamp.com/track/love-you-bring reads the books: https://warprecords.bandcamp.com/track/pagina-cinco vocal studies: https://warprecords.bandcamp.com/track/smile-in-your-face & https://warprecords.bandcamp.com/track/point-to-b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
