12715 Disconnect Mix


its less crap than last years. i probably tell that to all the years. if i had started this endeavor yesterday, it would just be the new black sheep wall album. godDAMN or the new mount eerie.
 
i tried to get LoC out of there, i really did. its such a shitty lazy gutting of the song on my part and it doesnt fit at all and i hate it and i wanted it to be amenra - boden or indian - directional or anything else but i keep getting distracted by eshopping simultaneously for an AK47 and the lego detective office set

the only part im like a+ on is BF into MSA - sister into sunburst chem. and a bunch of that is just because it triggers limbo flashbacks and fucking christ that fucking game

oh and i sat for like 2 weeks trying to decide between echoes of yul - last, echoes of yul - last (echoes of yul version), and cult of luna - passing through (echoes of yul version), and just gave up suuuuper hard when i figured out that the remix of last played backwards over the original kinda sorta synched and made a new, hybrid species of unsubtle, atmosphere-wrecking fuckery that sounds great followed by planning for burial.

i cant tell if it actually flows at all or if its just a ton of songs i really like in a row but there you go. headphones help a lot (and they are needed for holifernes/lavender) (and i cant quite get it to render as an mp3 at the exact levels it espouses as an acid project, so...its quieter and more muddled than it should be? and 75% more disappointing than it should be)(and i listened to it with normal headphones at work and it fucking sounds like 8 bags of shit ass because my waveforms arent behaving but im done with this shit)

alright i lied, headphones ruin the illusion. check this out! way cooler.

also i was medium hoping to have a new mirovia to fart into the fray but 6 months ago turned into 6 hours ago and i gave all my amps away since

Tipper - Puzzle Dust [2012]

I had the release and the addictech samples running at the same time..and it sounded not bad. Soooo melty. Anyway, a little harder than previous releases, no less bubbly, no less wiggly, no less awesome. What is the difference between Tipper Sound Experience and Tipper? Anyone know??

Marina Rosenfeld - Plastic Materials 2009



HOLY FUCKING SHIT

AAAHAHHHRRRRRRNNNNNN

WWWWWWWWWWWWHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAATTTT THEEE FUUUUUUUUCCCCCK




the midpoint between grouper and runhild gammelsæter. and basinski. and what frank poole must have been hearing as his oxygen emptied into space.

"In my imagination, Plastic Materials sounds like an strange autopsy where the deceased is part robot, part creature from another planet and each progressive incision opens new caverns of spiraling innards that are both structurally amazing and kind of freaky. There is even an ever present sterility of steel tables and clean instruments to the whole thing. The album is bizarre in the most fascinating way. Rosenfeld’s doesn’t actually use any knifes in the creation of her work, but still manages her fair share of cutting by the heavy use of turntables and sampled voices (both talking and singing out of tune) cut up with medical precision. In addition to the re-emerging vocals, Rosenfeld has crafted a moody sub-noise aesthetic that incorporates turntable tics and spasms along with other electronic mumbling which flow in and out of piano tinkering and other unidentifiable transmissions."

knifes? if there's a pitchfork review of this album, i dont want to fucking know about it.

give to me your LSD's.

Amon Tobin - ISAM 2011


late to post because i used to worry about DMCAs. this fucker is on some level completely alone. monthly joints is certainly more palatable, but this album (from the start) had me twitching and humming of 'autech-step' to myself.

see him, please (10/18 or 19). even if it's already sold out. ignore the terror that is his voice (see video), and anticipate visuals that completely supersede bassnectar and big gigantic.

ingest DOI or 2CI and prepare to construct a city of dataflow. IODO-EVERYTHING.



the review quoted in the video:

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15519-isam/


i can't get enough of reading pitchfork reviews. it's like learning to speak and comprehend a foreign language for years, and then suddenly finding the language is split into 'normal' and 'who the fuck let you form sentences?! you are an abortion doctor for words.'


"Tobin used to be a dependable, dedicated craftsman, but he's intent on transitioning to full-on sonic artist. He has the ideas: ISAM's pieces keep wandering into unmarked industrial zones, evoking broken things and blight. But this is heavy, foreboding music; Tobin hasn't yet learned how to balance his robust sound-art impulses with footholds for his listeners. He'll get there-- he's frankly too talented not to-- but ISAM feels like a transitional album, for his fans if not for him."


i understand that i usually shit out sentences that flow like a vodka-soaked tampon, but...come on.

do you remember constructing grammatical sentence diagrams in middle school? the best part of that review is that a sentence diagram of the entire thing would look like a mandelbrot set.

META ACCOMPLISHED


god i wish i had robust sound-art impulses with footholds.
