I'd just start with "The Absence of Blight" and see where that takes you.

I really like Lawrence because of the transcience of his material. There's enough going on in it to hold my attention but whenever I listen to his stuff I struggle to recognise it and so it feels new and fresh to me. I can't imagine him going for the emo-bombast of Pantha Du Prince anyway.

I often find myself thinking how Innervisions took the templates of this stuff from Dial and Kompakt and ran with it to become the darlings of European clubbers and Resident Advisor readers, and yet none of the magic of soft sad techno seems to have rubbed off.

Thanks for posting - I'd have easily missed this.

didn't really vibe on much of this including the first few tracks, but "roots making family" and "the crown territory" in particular hit quite nicely. hoping i come around on the rest with more listens.

I'm kinda like you. Love the sound palette of this and a few tracks really hit the spot ("Silentium Larix" and "Pius in Tacet" for me). Needs more spins for sure.

I think it sounds wonderful, but will def take some time getting familiar with

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.

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.

Still annoyed This Bliss isn’t on streaming.

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

(Possibly old news).
