Adrian Belew - Flux

[modey]

 

It's out now! A collection of little snippits that vary between little synth/guitar experiments, melody fragments and mini pop songs. It's pretty incredible if you're a Belew fan, tbh. Surely there are others here who are equally obsessed with Belew?

 

 

Also has pretty nice dynamic visuals, and a hint of more content to be added in the future. Hooray!

Oh right! I've only listened for an hour or so, so haven't really heard much, but I noticed some variations in the tracks that played again. I just thought they were different mixes rather than combinations of stems. It would have been super awesome if it were seamless, but it's still pretty cool!

 

 

And yeah, god damn I would love to hang out with Belew. He just seems like such a lovely dude.

this app is relevant to my interests!! will check it later when get home : )

 

 

 

also, I can vouch for belew being an all round excellent dude and excellent person to hang out with.. and share a bag of salt and vinegar crisps with and talk about IDM/Squarepusher with.

 

if you wanna hang out with him, I would suggest looking into bringing him down to your area to play some shows. or.. have your dad do it, so you can talk to Adrian belew as a kid and not realise who he is or how awesome he is until years later.

god damnit, I can't believe you got to meet him! That story still amazes me!

[psn]

I met him at a random bar just half an hour after I saw KC in Copenhagen in 2000, he was definitely a cool and nice guy.
