Feel like the response to Conference of Trees was pretty lukewarm. I keep going back to it for the 3 or 4 tracks that I think are great, but I could probably lose the entire first half and not miss it. Really strange album with really strange sequencing. Very slow to reveal itself. But like I said, I keep going back to it.

I liked the ultra chimey single. I must check it out.

Used to listen to PdP and Lawrence all the time ... and they've just fallen off my radar entirely.

Must remedy.

I tried a few things after Black Noise and none of them worked for me. I guess I'll try Conference of Trees.

It's pretty different!

This Bliss isn't available on streaming that I've found, which saddens me.

(I do have a digital copy of it ... somewhere ... but I can't just cue it up on Spotify.)

Yeah it's bizarre. Copyright claims from some cathedral whose bell he sampled?

I'm really enjoying Conference of Trees!

Completely missed Lawrence's Music for Plants:

Really enjoyed hearing Pantha du Prince on Elizabeth Alker's show:

Was in the mood for a wintery mix so possibly very receptive to it.

Oh, the sampling of this is apparently why it's not available:

(Possibly old news).

Hell yeah (even thought is looks like Saturn Strobe is missing).

I would prefer not to. (Chinaski), Thursday, 16 May 2024 15:04 (four weeks ago) link

You're right. Wtf

Yay/boo

I guess because of the Skempton sample noted above. Ah well. 90 percent of the album is better than zero percent.
