I think his Emeralds remixes are the best thing I've heard by him. Serious Revelee vibe.
It helps that he doesn't try and sing over these as well.

HANG ON why did no one tell me about these emeralds remixes?????? INCREDIBLE

i am thinking about all the music that critics and fans have gone on about and pushed my way and how shitty 90% of it was and then i think about how no one bothered even PRing this to me and ughhhhh
― lex pretend, Sunday, 14 October 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
well it was a fairly low-key release. Original tracks were a couple of years old etc
― Number None, Sunday, 14 October 2012 20:48 (eleven years ago) link
yes, zero PR on this. no freebies.

It's weird because the ground-up enthusiasm for various Daphni remixes has been pretty big. I had no idea he was actually Caribou until relatively recently.

This album is pretty good but "Yes I Know" is a total all-time jam; I heard it on some RA or Beats in Space mix a year ago and have been pretty hardcore in love with it since.
― bell biv devo (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 15 October 2012 06:57 (eleven years ago) link
I may have been so carried away on the wave of joy upon hearing Yes I Know for the first time that I slightly overrated the album, although even the more functional, fillery tracks don't feel especially skippable. I do find myself wishing it was all mixed together though.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 October 2012 07:57 (eleven years ago) link
The records are labelled (a) and (c) where they should be (b) and (d) - a bit weird but made up for by the DL card embedded with wildflower seeds that you can plant after using.
People not following releases on Jiaolong and complaining about missing out on great releases, WAT??
― du mein bestie (micarl), Monday, 15 October 2012 08:01 (eleven years ago) link
Lex, I'm surprised that you of all people thinks you need a CD in the post to alert him to a new release. PR did send out some CDs but indie labels have to be selective. (I've missed out on good stuff from the same PR in the past)
― Get wolves (DL), Monday, 15 October 2012 09:08 (eleven years ago) link
i didn't mean this album or PR specifically (though i wasn't PRed this either) - i meant the general buzz/conversation around a release that makes me aware that something exists (which most of the time doesn't come from PRs or labels). like what happened for the daphni album actually.

I keep thinking of this as being like Audion but then it occurs to me that I'm only thinking that for biographical reasons.
― Tim F, Monday, 15 October 2012 11:03 (eleven years ago) link
For me it's Four Tet, but both for biographical and sonic reasons.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 15 October 2012 12:18 (eleven years ago) link
not really feeling this, but i like the four tet record a lot though since we're comparing them. that one has nice rough edges but sounds much more composed. i get that this record is supposed to be quick loops and modular synth jams for dj gigs, which is cool but most of it doesn't stick for me.

Of the four "we are going to dance in a club" albums I've bought this year (Orbital, Talabot, Four Tet and this), this feels like the most fun (and also the most functional). Four Tet's is the most cosmic, Orbital's the most pop, and Talabot is a nice middle ground between them all. For me, anyway.
Love the occasionally African and Brazilian vibes that appear through this.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 19 October 2012 06:56 (eleven years ago) link
Actually I got the Blondes album as well which is also pretty "we are going to dance in a club" too but it never interested me as much as these. I almost use it as ambient.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 19 October 2012 07:08 (eleven years ago) link
Jiaolong also best captures that "last track feels like going home" vibe.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 19 October 2012 07:16 (eleven years ago) link
The Four Tet album doesn't feel particularly clubby to me, quite the opposite actually, it really feels like a living room record, although a couple of tracks near the end might work in a club.
Jialong is definitely the most functional of the four though. I still find myself wishing it was mixed together.
― Matt DC, Friday, 19 October 2012 07:18 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, Pink is feeling less clubby and more living room the more I... Play it in my living room.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 19 October 2012 07:20 (eleven years ago) link
i'm not blown away by this but i'm into "light" the most, the hi-hats and flute riff are great
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 19 October 2012 14:17 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah that one is my second favourite, after Yes I Know.

Nice! Very little Snaith has done that I haven't liked, looking forward to playing this on the way home.

Record is on spotify now. It's fucking great!
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Friday, 6 October 2017 15:25 (six years ago) link
Really enjoying this. Sometimes I feel like Dan Snaith is my musical avatar, not exactly my "favorite artist" so much as the one that best marries all of the aspects of my musical taste, sense of groove, aesthetic, etc.
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Monday, 16 October 2017 02:29 (six years ago) link
His recent Fabriclive mix is entirely his own stuff and is excellent.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 October 2017 09:31 (six years ago) link
Isn't most of that mix meant to be on the new album?
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 16 October 2017 09:42 (six years ago) link
My guess is that it'll sound a lot better mixed together than as discrete album tracks but this is a bit of a truism with dance albums anyway.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 October 2017 09:49 (six years ago) link
Listened to the album now and it's fine, it's good, but fucking hell *every track* bar one is already on the Fabric mix. Except the mix has a load of other good stuff in there in about the same amount of space and is just a much more exciting and varied and dynamic listen. Whereas an extra three or four minutes of 'Face To Face' or 'Hey Drum' add nothing at all really. It's a string of good-to-great club tracks laid out alongside each other.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 October 2017 18:06 (six years ago) link
Hmm, I wanna hear that then. I think the new one works really nicely as a mix, agree the tracks are sort of static but I enjoy the trance-inducing aspect of that.
