Hk47 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Just saw this today. If these two tracks are any indication of what the rest of the album will sound like, it's gonna be one hell of a release... =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 he could do with a new chord sequence though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Its the same with Rob Clouth. There are moments of genius but often no real capitalisation on that sense of coming crescendo. Strongly agree regarding Rob Clouth. Prefer his VAETXH stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokn Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 he could do with a new chord sequence though. Yeah I don't want to grump around but both tracks sound like straight from his first LP. Would be amazing to get a second "Immunity", but it would be a bit weird too after all these years, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Sounds much like Immunity, yeah. Had some nice moments in the track but definitely could've been straight from the other album. Video was okay too, I guess. Just sorta meh all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YangYing Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I stand by what I said earlier on this thread.. his ideas run flat, a bit quicker a bit more daring sounds.. getting off the 4/4 thing.. hell maybe I should do that sound myself edit: just to clarify, is not bad music.. but it bothers my ears when I hear stuff that I feel has so much more potential to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Sound-wise it sounds very much like Moderat, but it still has that abstract semi-destroyed Jon Hopkins sound. This is alright! never thought of that but I agree will check this out, I feel like Hopkins fills the same "quite deece" niche as Rival Consoles, Daniel Avery, Jamie XX, etc. which I've mentioned elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncrtx Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Listened through the whole thing. It's Immunity samefaggotry imho, but I loved that one so I'm liking this one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/3210 I internally lolled so many times during this. So much of it was very relatable though which is I guess why it was so funny, but he takes it to new heights it seems. I guess maybe you've gotta be that detailed and ridiculous about everything to make that kind of music though? Still hits home in a lot of ways though so I'm laughing at myself as much as I'm laughing at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyrofen Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Really nice album. As already stated by ncrtx, it's very like Immunity, but I really enjoyed Immunity so I'm enjoying this a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Yes, it's pretty "good", but it just feels like him going through the motions. Doesn't feel fresh or interesting in any way. There are no surprises or moments that challenge you, it's just decent background music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 This was a bit underwhelming, "Everything Connected" is still an incredible track but the rest of the album seems like a needless stretched out intro and coda to that central track. Or like a decent harmless 'uplifting' DJ mix from 10 years ago with a nice middle climax but not much else to note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
