(what is the most endless summer of his that is not endless summer?)
probably Live In Japan, but that might be cheating

Anyway I thank you for this revival for prompting me to dig out Venice for the first time in a long while. Still great.

i just habitually checked my spam where all the bandcamp stuff goes and noticed there's a rerelease of this fennesz / sakatomo thing "cendre" originally released in 2007. and it's currently lowering my blood pressure / opening my third eye. so the moral of the story is, always check your spam.

Listening to Endless Summer now. It's aged quite well I think, still sounds fresh.

Heh, at the Red Bull Music Academy thing, they played the track that sounds like a scracthed CD of 'Till I Die skipping, and asked him something like "what does this make you feel?" and he said "it sounds really old."

I was just listening to the ISIS Oceanic Remixes album collection (a perfect record IMHO) and the Fennesz remix that starts it is glorious.
Came out a little after Venice, which I consider an OK album, and before Black Sea, which seemed to really not say anything new at all. I agree the NIN remix is great, and scattered other stuff has been wonderful (including Agora) but TBH by and learge the stuff I return to the most is prior to Venice.(I also find the Sakamoto collabs tedious though, so, just one raven's opinion...)

endless summer has dated well, alongside his other stuff. plenty of his work from that time was more forward thinking than a lot of electronica/laptop music now. i've been playing with the max/MSP patch ('ppooll') that he used/uses for guitar processing... now that *is* dated. incredible to think what he's done with it, though, working off-grid and outside of tempo.

I listened to Cendre all the time after it came out. I should revisit it.

I remember buying Black Sea on vinyl and being really disappointed it didn't include "The Colour of Three" and "Vacuum"
Still my favorite Fennesz though

i've been going back through the solo albums, don't think i ever heard becs, sorry for lack of accent i'm a lazy hick, and i think it was my favorite of the bunch besides agora.

Has anyone heard the 2010 vinyl reissue for Endless Summer that extends the album? The record’s d-side is an extended version of Happy Audio and I’m curious how long it is. Because a 20-minute version of that song might make me explore
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 00:49 (one year ago) link
yeah it's 15 minutes long
― lord of the rongs (anagram), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 06:47 (one year ago) link
15 minutes? i'll take it!

Haven't seen many reviews of this one, but really enjoying this Fennesz/Ozmotic album: https://ozmotic.bandcamp.com/album/senzatempo

i keep playing the solo albums that aren't endless summer this summer. at this point i'd rank them agora > becs > black sea > venice. venice is the only one i don't really love.

Black Sea my pick, all great tho
― nxd, Friday, 23 June 2023 13:48 (nine months ago) link
Hard to distinguish between the three last ones I find. Venice is the one I would mostl likely put on
