i'm gonna buy the vinyl today and even though it comes with a cd, i don't have any cd drives at all so i'll probably have to pirate it in the end to actually listen to it on the computer (lol)
unless the vinyl comes with a free download code...............

what do you think of it - thought you didn't like it?

oh i loved the first single, i've been torturing myself in not letting myself listen to streams/youtubes until it was properly released
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 14:29 (eleven years ago) link
oh! i misinterpreted your sadface upthread then
i pretty much unreservedly love this now, i don't find it that difficult or unlistenable, apart from the two tracks which are obviously meant to be difficult and unlistenable and which can be easily ignored (and obv like once a year i'll have the time & patience to listen to the 19-min drone and i'm not going to mind)

"an album so good, it transcends criticism, but is also a large failure because of such"

Seems like a stunt to get hits to the webpage.

that video interview reminds me of an snl skit:

although it looks like they would be good at making some video collage/spoken word thingys.

those hollow ringing sounds at the beginning of full of fire are very martin hannett, she's lost control type harrowing sounds

i'm so glad i decided not to burn myself out on the singles before picking this up - this is awesome, i am in awe. oh my god

This is excellent mopping-the-floor music. I'm using this stuff.

all of the tracks aren't on spotify
― markers, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:22 (eleven years ago) link
not good
Was just noticing the same. Are the missing tracks essential or are they all abstract drones?
― Moodles, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:31 (eleven years ago) link
hahaha i have no idea, but i'd like to hear the whole album.
― markers, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:39 (eleven years ago) link
i just got this on single CD, without that 19 minute song. have not heard a note of this as of yet, so excited about hearing this for the first time.

What's the packaging like for the single disc version? I have only seen the double disc version in the shops so far and it looks really nice. It's a cardboard sleeve that folds out into some extra artwork or something. I was thinking of getting the single disc but I'm easily seduced by fancy packaging.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:43 (eleven years ago) link
get the 3xLP it comes w/ the cds
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:45 (eleven years ago) link
i ordered it online, so i will tell you in a few days. Amoeba is about an hour away. i think it's just a standard jewel case type of thing. i didn't want two CD's with one song i will only play once in awhile.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:47 (eleven years ago) link

i should buy the LP's as i have quite a few of those. the problem is the newer stuff is all on CD's (or mp3's) and most of the stuff i have on vinyl is older.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:52 (eleven years ago) link
Okay thanks. Yeah I think the double disc idea is great for this album. I don't hate the nineteen minute track as much as I thought I would but it spoils the flow of the album and I know I will want to skip it most times I play it. I think i'd go with the flashy artwork though as they are around the same price.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:54 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah I did consider this especially as I like the artwork for the vinyl a little more. It's just a little too expensive for me at the moment.

i really like it when they step on the gas and go full crazy. 'networking'!!!

well, since i can't listen to all of this i guess i'll go listen to silent shout

i don't know if it's stepping on the pedal so much as letting the sail out

"Stay out here" has a sick sy/NIN electro vibe. Propellant track. hi hat's dope. But it has those wack-ass rusted root vocals.

Tiny Mix Tapes review is harder to get through than the 19-minute ambient drone

Awkward? Maybe not

I don't mind the 19-minute drone at all! Although I do agree that it breaks the flow of the album...

The first half of Networking is as described above, but it loses steam and I just kind of wait for it to end.

I disagree - it could go on for, yes, 19 minutes and I wouldn't complain at all.
― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Wednesday, 10 April 2013 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
haven't read the thread at all, but does anyone know of a good source of info regarding which of these tracks are available on spotify, preferably with frequent updates?
― zero dark (s1ocki), Wednesday, 10 April 2013 17:06 (eleven years ago) link
looks like all of them but 8. Raging Lung atm?

this album is a lot better than i thought it would be, enjoying it so much more on the third listen than i did on the first.

They've sort of made a techno version of the last couple of Scott Walker records.

First listen through: endurance test.
