Lachesi 14 Posted January 3 I really love this track. I really love Elseq. First sounds of the track could be annoying to someone, as the marked snare/SBAM on quite every third quarter, but pendulu hv moda designs very unique scenarios. All the first half of the track makes me think about some sort of digital-natural imaginary. But from 7.08 everything changes and a evolving being starts growing, always moving, not sure if he has biomechanical features or if he's more abstract... The only sure thing is that from 6.58 starts trying to express itself, and the disappearance of the other main sounds makes me imaginate now a desert-ish landscape. Final drone marks the end of the epiphany. Technically I wonder how the hell they made the sound whom I related saying the being was trying to express himself... Overall I prefer Elseq to NTS and the reason is that I feel like in Elseq's tracks less is left to chance, very different from the "jazz-jams" of NTS. pendulu hv moda rules PS: also, super cool thing, try mixing some fat fast kicks over sections of the second half of the track!

jaderpansen 33 Posted January 3 pendula hv moda makes me feel like I am in aruba on the one side of the island that is just cliffs and stuff. great view, scenery etc. I am with some woman who just got me really baked. she is stunning. I am driving an suv . we get out to take it all in. I slam the door and just keep slamming it cuz the seatbelt is in the way. just keep slamming the door. never gets old...

markedone 30 Posted January 3 i have a very distinct memory of half-falling-asleep on the ny metro on very little sleep listening to this track, and with the movement of the train it felt like i was in a submarine descending into deeper and depths of the ocean. then i woke up right before my stop when it ended. track is mad subterranean for me.

darreichungsform 131 Posted January 8 the intro is some of the coolest ae so bizarre and a bit jazzy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phudoshin 23 Posted January 10 Its the space that the track has... it breaths ..... its very organic and got that melancholic vibe but without the boC nostalgia angle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lachesi 14 Posted January 10 Its the space that the track has... it breaths ..... its very organic So true, and I'd extend this to most of Elseq's tracks! in my opinion sometimes NTS tracks lack in this aspect... As do for examples Richard Devine's tracks on his latest 2018 album: in some way everything is colder comparing to Elseq/Exai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stickfigger 142 Posted January 10 Favourite track on El Seq 1, in top five of total. The ending is amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
draft 1 Posted January 15 (edited) The cheery opening section of the song reminds me of Drane2 a little and the rattling percussion, brrrddrrrddrrrrdrr. I also really love those breathy/flute-y whatever parts later in the song. Edited January 15 by vproc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
