I feel like this is to current pop what the last Lone album was to classic rave.

Most of the vocals on this are really not to my taste. Shame cos there's some pretty spectacular production going on.

The new one that is, I love Room(s).

Theoretically I have mixed feelings abou my this Jamie XX move, but in practice I love it pretty unproblematically.

I don't really hear this as a Jamie XX move? That would imply this was grey, lifeless, limp, unengaging, etc. I can imagine this actually provoking a response.

this feels lively and fresh, compared to Vapor City. it sounds like he's moving beyond his regular template/formula, with more immediate pop elements and flashiness.. dig the bright, colorful, up front quality of the sounds. i read a lot of negative talk about the new album, pleasantly surprised

FWIW I'd be very happy with an entirely Machinedrum-produced Dawn album. They seem a pretty good fit for one another.

Well, that's what's you're getting (see Dawn thread)

I've decided I don't like Human Energy, too much focus on pyrotechnics over atmosphere, too many cheesy arse singers. A lot of it sets my teeth on edge, as accomplished as it is.

check out Folding Time, the recent Sepalcure album.. it's got Machinedrum vibes, but more varied/dynamic--it's less exhausting

Cheers for the tip, sounds like something I'd enjoy.

Good suggestion on the Sepalcure. Human Energy tires me in the same way Prefuse 73 does (now).
