maxd98 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'll start. MONO - Hymn to the Immortal Wind MONO seem to be doing the same thing over and over again, but HIW is solid gold, especially the first track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 was going to reply but I can't recall any massive seccesses from the flahbulb I thought I liked a song of his at first but it was probably just the accompanying youtube video/youtube audio quality made it seem warm or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQQ Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'll start. MONO - Hymn to the Immortal Wind MONO seem to be doing the same thing over and over again, but HIW is solid gold, especially the first track. Mono do generic build-build-build-crescendo post-rock but they do it better than most. i saw them at a festival recently and they were one of the best bands i saw, they really surprised me. all that building feedback is just fantastic live.

BobDobalina Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 lol at idea of thread The Oasis bros imho have generally been pretentious purveyors of wank save for some of their early stuff - this was a live cover of I am the Walrus from a show in 1994... and I hate to admit that it destroys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_urcKouwmz0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Easy for me. RHCP. I hate them and their music (in that order) with a passion and have done since they ever appeared on my radar. But through gritted teeth I have to admit I like a few of their tracks made with John Frusciante..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candiru Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Drake is really successful but he's like that rich kid in high school that no one actually likes, but his parents mansion is great for parties so don't say what you really think about him or you won't be invited.

dr lopez Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 i generally find the popularity of tim hecker befuddling - at least here in the states. his lives in that bizarre zone - one "of those artists" that "music fans" namedrop as "really good, challenging ambient" while I find his music in fact quite rote and uninventive but not bad or offensive in any way. I was buying two or three supersilent releases once at a record store and then this hipper than thou asian dude behind me called out to either me or the cashier "yeah i'm trying to book *tim hecker* to come here" lol ok. His releases always get pretty serious online music journal fanfare but there have now been at least 4 or 5 albums since HiU (which was pleasant) that have done next to nothing for me. So why then, does your average american "concerned music listener" seem to know the name TIM HECKER even over similar artists like stars of the lid or your stable of Raster-Noton artists that consistently crank out far more interesting minutia-filled ambient music? How has he come to be selected from this group as "the namedropper" Is it because he is Canadian and so his support in the states is some sort of misguided North American camaraderie?

My analogy for hiphop these days. I don't hate the guy but I find his blandness coupled with certain friends of mine lauding his music, as well as all the bullshit meta commentary surrounding his fame, a baffling circlejerk to behold. Even as a Kanye apologist for many years I find him annoying of late (dull last album too). I can't be bothered to pay attention to any of it. i generally find the popularity of tim hecker befuddling - at least here in the states. his lives in that bizarre zone - one "of those artists" that "music fans" namedrop as "really good, challenging ambient" while I find his music in fact quite rote and uninventive but not bad or offensive in any way.

I was in a bookstore in Marfa, TX and some pretty ambient was playing in the background. Nothing I had to know right that second but I figured there was an off chance the were playing a local artist or someone who was doing a sound installation that week. Or I wondered if the guy working there was the same one who DJ'd a drone/ambient show on the small local NPR station. Small town after all. Anyway, so I asked while he was ringing me up at the register. Turns out it was Tim Hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just two weeks ago met a real classic case study at a friend's party "no man i i i i actually find wilco's music... maybe too commercial. Califone - also from chicago.. now their production was really just messing with the paradigm." i shit you not. when i said i liked electronic music - "ah yeah tim hecker and basinksi... love disintegration loops" I wish I could vomit on command. pfol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
