Pole/~Scape records-dub pioneers-or-?

The album is out, anyone heard it yet? I didn't know about this new material until someone mentioned it in the other thread, so I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail. IMO Steingarten was nice return to form after the (fairly bland) hip-hop experiments etc, so my hopes for this one are high. (Or at least higher than they were for Steingarten, which was surprisingly good.)

it covers some of the Waldgeschichten material (series of brief eps from late 2000s/2010s).. same sound, though there are several new tracks and it plays as a 'live' set, with tracks transitioning into one another. the production (sound) is brilliant, really clean, upfront, and dry/crisp. the subtle percussive, buzzing, clicking elements are really distinct (not so subtle), and the melodic elements are strong. it's beautiful stuff.

ha i was just the other day wondering when/if he would put another album out. interested to hear this, The Waldgeschichten stuff I heard was very nice. enjoyed Steingarten quite a bit, never heard the hip-hop stuff because it seemed to have gotten unanimously negative reviews..

The new Evan Caminiti record is pushing some ~Scape buttons for me: https://dust-editions.bandcamp.com/album/varispeed-hydra

I'm liking Fading based on some Bandcamp previewing.

i'm going to skip this one because senile dementia w memory loss runs in my family 😢

i did dig out steingarten remixed a few weeks ago and i really enjoyed it! i can't find my copy of steingarten but i think that's probably my current favorite betke production
