I think NJs links with the Wolf & Lamb crew has played up the slow house aspect of the album.

The new EP is ridiculously beautiful. So much static, so much space.

Like the track though.
I don't understand why people rate WOUH so much... such a nothingy track compared to some of his others.

Totally late to the party—just got Space Is Only Noise from an end of the year list—but Jaar has become a fast favorite. Gonna have to spend some serious time with this thread it's such a wealth of links.
― scottfree, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:35 (twelve years ago) link
think there's something instantly accessible about WOUH, much like those hip-hop instrumentals (BiS?). But yeah, only scratching the surface.

"wouh" wasn't immediate for me but it gets under your skin and stays there permanently
― irina-camelia begu (lex pretend), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:49 (twelve years ago) link
Wuoh benefits from being on the Love You Gotta Lose Again 10" - it's perfect Jaar alternative to Love You Gotta Lose Again and Don't Believe the Hype.
Jaar pox

Even if the last two tracks are the same trick (aka watch the track turn Bleep) it's a great trick, and the variations are even better.

(apologies if that was already posted)
Came out during the time of the sandbox.
Yarh, the Jaar & Harrington is damn nice - A1 should probably be where the Dear remix is.
And now that another 2 months have passed it's doubly ridiculous that Encore hasn't been released.
― Jedmond, Thursday, 12 January 2012 05:36 (twelve years ago) link
The Jaar tune I find myself coming back to most is his edit of Shakedown Street, even though as mentioned upthread it's not really representative - I just love it
― I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Thursday, 12 January 2012 07:54 (twelve years ago) link
hmm not for me, i've only ever had "wouh" as a standalone thing (think it was released separately too). only have the other two on the inès comp.
i don't think the bluewave edits, or any of jaar's edits, are nearly as good as the rest of his stuff - even the album is better. they seem a bit precious and mimsy.
― irina-camelia begu (lex pretend), Thursday, 12 January 2012 09:16 (twelve years ago) link
I'm pretty sure I can also enjoy Wouh separately as well.
Even What My Last Girl Put Me Through? Considering how sample heavy his tracks are it seems a losing proposition to spend too much time distinguishing between his edits and his edits which he's worked on longer. Plus I find the reverse, Jaar's edits/sampling stops him from getting to micro-precious.
― Jedmond, Thursday, 12 January 2012 09:40 (twelve years ago) link
This is true. I don't really hear that much distinction between the tracks proper and the edits. It's all of a part - the album material, the dancier singles and the edits. I really like the Work It edit too.
― I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Thursday, 12 January 2012 10:53 (twelve years ago) link
Plus the edits give you a bit of background on some of his tastes and how they fit into the rest of his work - who'd have thought that the Grateful Dead's disco period or Love Potion No.9 would be such an influence on a sound like this?

― Tim F, Thursday, 12 January 2012 13:06 (twelve years ago) link
The Darkside EP is worth just for A1 4:43-5:30, ridiculous.
Hadn't heard of that CEO remix, I thought Illuminata would be well past boost remixs.
One Glance....oh nice.
― Jedmond, Thursday, 12 January 2012 13:22 (twelve years ago) link
How many EPs/singles/one-offs has he released these last 12 months? Have we talked about Don't Break My Love / Why Didn't You Save Me yet?
― I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Thursday, 12 January 2012 13:36 (twelve years ago) link
i really dig the last minute and a half or so of "don't break my love" but it might have to do with the sense of release from a somewhat boring/mediocre five minute build. imo.
― psychgawsple, Thursday, 12 January 2012 23:52 (twelve years ago) link
ooh psychgawsple you just make me so MAD sometimes
― lukas, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 19:41 (twelve years ago) link
haha. i guess it's actually sorta intricate, but the basic synth line just leaves me with a "meh" feeling every time. until the release of course.

yeah that shlohmo really is something isn't it? Jaar definitely has 'themes' that he revisits in terms of chord progression and scale.

this may sound like an otw comment but this mix is everything i had hoped the harvey ra mix would have been. ya i know diff artists/diff sounds etc but the mixture of atmosphere/dance/eclectic is what jaar nailed here and harvey fumbled when he attempted to do the same.
― oscar, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:36 (twelve years ago) link
not sure I agree (although I haven't returned to the RA mix) but there was something 'harvey' about it in a really great way.
― owenf, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
weird mix not sure i like it yet (30 mins in)
― flopson, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 01:40 (twelve years ago) link
nah i didn't like it much either. seemed a bit, dunno, desperate to impress (breath of tracks/knowledge of music) but kind of lazy at putting all of those things together into a whole. i liked several tracks on it though.
― jed_, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 01:50 (twelve years ago) link
wtf is all this piano & violin
― flopson, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 02:04 (twelve years ago) link
I thought the Jaar mix was brilliant, but I'm not too deep of an electronic/techno head. I shared it with some non-music-obsessive people who were really taken. I think it slots together really well in terms of keeping a steady atmosphere and having a nice pace. I will definitely be returning to it.

just got to this & totally agree, best track so far
― flopson, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 03:35 (twelve years ago) link
main thing i didn't like about this mix is how many long stretches of beatlessness, or at least drum-lessness, there were. his use of percussion is my favourite thing about him as an artist & he has a great ear for beats, his use of space & texture is really cool too obv but moreso when it's complementing something rythm-based than just pure sound
