that's why i like this moodymann record so much actually, it's just as long as his others but keeps moving between ideas

Moodymann is one of those perennial names i see on ilm and nowhere else for years and years without having any idea what it is besides "ilm loves it"

I usually get as far as 'Video Collection' and think 'you're trying too hard now'. There's one enjoyable one right at the end but it feels like too much of a Technique-era New Order rip to really love.

I didn't really hear '27 tracks' when it was playing, though. It felt like one long piece

oh christ i forgot how much i loved ronika's "in the city"

moodymann's afternoon set at sónar a few years ago was one of the best sets i've ever experienced

I'm currently on a train for the first time in months, hence using headphones for the first time in months. This is making Ninos Du Brasil sound glorious, every bit as good as the track which placed last week.

"forget yourself" seems more tom tom club than freestyle imo? again it's ok i guess

House flute slow jam hash odyssey. This is very listenable so far.

The Moodymann mix of Cosmic Slop towards the end of the record is amazing

"Shell Shocked" is the freestyle Ronika I think

couldn't find a way into ronika after botanist & steve gunn. sounded like shallow 80s pop pastiche, and the songwriting wasn't drawing me in.
but fuck i LOVE the moodymann album. i went on a massive moody bender after "discovering" him a few years ago, and it's great to have new album of this quality to slot in with silentintroduction, black mahogani, etc. such a gorgeous front-to-back listen.
^ brad nelson otm. you want longer grooves? there's a dj for that.
― A Severus of Snapes (contenderizer), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:10 (nine years ago) link
I sorta admired and appreciated this when I heard it, but didn't deeply connect. Moodymann in general is obviously all time tho.
― MikoMcha, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:11 (nine years ago) link
The annoying infantilised adult is a fairly common archetype in gentrified London and a quick image search for Tune-Yards suggests her entire image is based around being a particularly egregious version of that, and that's before you even get onto the music itself.
Disclaimer, I've not listened to any of the lyrics.

Glad this album exists if only for provoking the greatest piece of music journalism this year.
And it's nothing to do with that diss track.

tbh i loved almost everything red house painters ever did but was never able to get in to anything he's done since
his set at pitchfork was kinda nice 4pm wash-over-you background noise i didn't focus on but enjoyed

Matt, you should probably listen to tune-yard's lyrics, or at least read them (and bear in mind that this is coming from the #1 booster of never paying attention to lyrics)

Most of the negative RTJ discussion has been along the lines of "not my thing, glad these dudes made it" with a side order of "El-P still can't rap". If it's the most controversial placement I'll be amazed.

otm except i like the first two proper skm albums
his stream-of-consciousness death and bar decorations stuff basically revived his career but it's total garbage imo
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:19 (nine years ago) link
There's some great stuff on this album but it's no Perils From the Sea (or any peak RHP/SKM obviously)
