i really liked the idea of 'great lengths' but found it never really drew me in - kind of boring grooves, like matt dc said.

these sound nice tho.

I much preferred the preceding 12"s to anything that appeared on Great Lengths. 'All I have is memories' was a beautiful track.

My brostep loving brother and his friends have been going on about this, which made me cautious, even though I didn't actually dislike Great Lengths (a bit long and grey but great singles) - but it turns out this is actually really good. I can see why it appeals to them - ear-grabbing noises, clattery rhythms, rave signifiers from the past twenty years falling over themselves - but it's cold, crisp and twisted enough to be more than basic tropes regurgitated, and it doesn't really align itself with house, techno, dubstep or funky, more the hinterland between. Texturally, it reminds me of Actress' albums, but if they're the 8am comedown on a dark morning then this is the 2am party drenched in sweat.

That page is taking ages to load here, but while my computer chunters away I just want to say that the last track on Ghost People was absolutely immense. This guy has a new album out soon right?

Been getting heavily into this guy's back catalogue recently, great stuff.

which tracks in particular do you really enjoy?
― the late great, Monday, 23 November 2015 22:07 (eight years ago) link
i actually haven't liked much of his stuff since "ghost people" but the doms/deykers collaborations with steffi are dope
I'm nuts about his Efdemin remix that sounds like a beatless version of Aphex Twin's "on".

I'm on the fence about much of the Doms & Deykers album, but this one is enormous:

It's You I See is the one for me. They both worked together on the Virginia album too which is probably my favourite dance long-play of the year.

Thanks, I'll give that a listen.

'Mind Rain' is an absolute fucking monster. If this is the direction he's going in with Ostgut Ton then I'm on board.
