this will be amazing.

press release is....interesting. his debiasing ep from last year is one of the best things in a long time, definitely check it out if you haven't already.

Ah, I was about to create the very same topic ! Most anticipated LP of the year as far as I'm concerned, Debiasing being an insane grower (and a personal favorite). Can't wait really.

[species8472]

new album art is a trip. 

[d-a-m-o]

Ah, right, almost forget about that ND_Baumecker collab,  but I remember I liked that as well. Gonna have to search my HDD for it to have another listen in preparation for his new album. Thanks for the reminder!

Barker is new to me but am really enjoying Debiasing so thanks for the tip. Will check out the Baumecker collaboration too

new FACT mix of all new material.  pure amazingness.

"This fall, Barker is releasing his debut solo full-length, Utility, and to celebrate has put together a special FACT mix of snippets from his recent live performances. Using his live setup of an Elektron Digitone, Elektron Octatrack, Nord Drum plus some modular gear and outboard FX, Barker glides through many of the themes on the album, exploring harmony, rhythm and texture."

thanks for the heads up on that fact mix, will be listening tomorrow. maybe twice if it's as good as that last EP of his was :)

[Extralife]

Damn that FACT mix is incredibubble.

[d-a-m-o]

this is so fucking lush, thanks for sharing.

[ghOsty]

Debiasing EP was nice, this should be lush

[Jafs]

The FACT mix showcases its stuff on a live setup, clearly more beat-driven (and it's successful). I'm really curious to see if on record he as stayed on the firm stance of the Debiasing EP.

[thief]

holy macaroni that fact max is excellent

[IDEM]

Debiasing was good, but the palette was a bit limited for my taste. But I guess that was the concept. Definitely enjoy the FACT mix more though, if this is a teaser for the album, we're in for quite a treat!

Future classic for me personally based on the stream. I know it's "limited palette" and a bit simple but goddamn is it effective for me.
