sounds like a return to form, from then his last (disastrous!) album 'listening tree' for warp, (has he released anything since then?) . definitely some heavy minimal tech influences & vibes going on, which is no surprise as that is wat lesuire system is about

 

this sounds like it could b gd if anyone is in berlin --- http://www.leisuresystem.net/ls-19-berlin-berghain-5-jahre-leisure-system/

Oh boy I love the sound of that preview. I actually got into him via the Listening Tree album - which actually I really like, it was nicely silly and playful, and Family Galaxy was blood lovely. But yeah, this sounds more like his pre-Listening Tree still which is definitely a good thing. I wonder why he had such a short tenure on Warp ?

 

The preview really reminds me of James Holden's The Idiots Are Winning -

Because of listening tree lol, yr the 1st person i know who likes it

[GraveGlitcher]

Love listening tree to death.

[Hugh Mughnus]

Listening tree is an awesome album.

 

Also it wasn't a strictly warp release. It was p-mu and distributed through warp for a wider release. aka planet mu got paid for it.

[Wyern]

Listening Tree is great, a very unique album

[guidewire]

I got the impression that he was bored of producing music and just wanted to do complex live jam stuff...

I would like to hear a return to pro agonist

So it looks like there's been a whole 180 from pyramidpanes saying I was the only one that liked the album, to him being the only one that hated the album.

[Guest Ron Manager]

I can see why some people wouldn't like Listening Tree, but I thought it was brilliant (title track... ). Saw him live in Manchester around the time it came out, it was shitloads of fun.

[awepittance]

i feel like if he did another album like the 2nd one he did for Mu it would be fucking excellent. People didn't like that because it sounded like a pisstake but it's still a really unique conceptual electronic album. Id love to hear one a little less silly and 'idm stand up comedy' (if you know what i mean, anybody whos been to IDM shows in the mid 2000s knows of this tactic)

HAHA , yeah lol, the whole album felt false in many ways compared to his first 2 albums, perhaps i didnt get the over cooked operatic vision of it, & it was also his terrible vocals that wer over bearing & killed it for me, gona try & give it a re-listen :( but rly like this new track grt simplicity to it

I loved Listening Tree! Reminds me of Cardiacs or something, just in how wacky it is.

I like this too. I got so sick of early 2000s IDM shows with performers playing non-danceable music and not putting any 'performance' into it. Seeing Tim Exile live injected some well-needed awesomeness into my view of the scene; a performance that I could just as easily stand and appreciate as I could dance to.

[Ivan Ooze]

I just got this on I-tunes for 9euro fucking lol

LOVED pro agonist, turned off by the underground breakcore album and the one with the depeche mode vocals

but man this one is MASSIVE! Tim exile rules!!
hope for a full lenght in da future

[Soloman Tump]

lol at idm standup comedy. Pretty much.

 

Joystick vocoder cock ruled though.

[yshf]

this sounds lush

[Ivan Ooze]

Heavy heavy shit!

[Guest nene multiple assgasms]

I really liked listening tree. your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

[Ivan Ooze]

my god the Harmuni track is a mind and body crushing monster on a beast system

[modey]

It's alright, I guess. Title track is cool in a Second Bad Vilbel kinda way.. though I got frustrated because I couldn't tell where the bar starts.
