[hello spiral]

Fuuuuuuuuu

[dingformung]

FUCK

 

how did I not know this guy until now?

 

this is definitely the best music discovery in a long time

[danshoebridge]

Definitely give 'benacah drann deachd' a go if you get a chance. Seems to have disappeared from his bandcamp page but you can still get it on boomkat or spotify.

[hello spiral]

Oh weird, so it has.

 

Reissue on vinyl pls. One of my very faves

[dumplings]

I haven't finished the first two volumes properly yet!

Ok...so there is now a shitload of releases on his bandcamp and I only have Vestiges.  Where should I start after that?

Have all of these been removed from bandcamp? Was just about to pick up Vol III. A great run of releases though.

[eczem]

Hmmm, i dunno, i still see all three of the Rook. Check again

 

edit: they were already either in my collection or wishlist though.

Seaes bandcamp dump next plz

I've got the 3 (4?) CD set, I need to give it a listen again, it's been a while.

 

Not so sure on most of this BC stuff I've heard, didn't give much a thorough dive but wasn't doing much for me what I did breeze through.

[petsim]

Thanks - the Rook is back up alongside the recent releases but some of the older ones are no longer on there (Seaes II has gone)

 

Anyway I grabbed Vol III before it disappears again. This archive series is brilliant

Well silly price aside there's some great stuff on the archive releases. Worked through the first 2 and the last track on vol.1 in particular is lush. Wouldn't be out of place on a prime gescom release (coupled with the gescom tape in the photo makes me think he had a fair bit of contribution to that project).

[kichiguy]

The archive series just keeps delivering. So many goddamn feels.

Not typical C Douglas as of today and pretty simple track.... but... I loved SDSS pretty hard

[danshoebridge]

Another one up...

Though at the moment I'm feeling the archive stuff a bit more.

 

I found the later releases I picked up (ideoal oifrmech and fuadain liesmas) a bit impenetrable tbh, is any of the other mass of new stuff a little more...accessible?

[hello spiral]

I know it's not the new new stuff but have you tried Benacah and Bardachd?

[danshoebridge]

Yeah Benacah still definitely my favourite of his, hits the sweet spot for me of crazy sound design and feels. Bardachd is pretty good too.

 

I'm thinking more out of the current bulk of music he's put out this last few months (archive stuff aside which is definitely sounding mint).
