well ?

heard it on the way to work this morning and thought .. hmm yes.

more beat heavy in parts than Rounds.

now checking on the earplugs @ work .. and 'smile around the face' is totally gorgeous. there is a section at the end where suddenly the stereo effect just morphs and mutates and the track lifts off.

so .. anyone else feeling this ?

i've actually really enjoyed this album. it's much better than rounds, but still doesn't top pause as my fave.

― stelfox, Friday, 15 April 2005 09:42 (twenty years ago)

agreed.

its got more funk and colour than rounds from the first few listens.

not heard pause yet .. so cant compare.

I thought it was pretty fucking dull.

oops, there's rather less on that thread than i'd remembered. never mind.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

it actually has gotten better with each listen.

i just gave this a first listen and it actually reminds me most of 'dialogue,' but more filled out.

is this album different than anything else he's done (as four tet), which all sounds the same to me?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 April 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

i think this is the first thing of his i've really enjoyed since the "glasshead" single

it's way more drummer-y than i remember the last one being (this is a good thing)

two weeks pass...

Okay, so it's been a month or two, and this record is sliding. I'm thinking about it less, playing it less. Why am I not feeling it? Am I missing something or is it weaker than the others?

― jergins (jergins), Sunday, 22 May 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

is it weaker than the others

YES.

― Sean M (Sean M), Sunday, 22 May 2005 22:51 (twenty years ago)

agreed, definitely weaker

― jmeister (jmeister), Sunday, 22 May 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

i still haven't listened to the whole thing...
maybe tonight.

picked this up today at best buy.
isn't the packaging pretty?

Love the sleeve photos, love the disc. Sounds like a step forward vs. a step back. Good balance of rhythm and shimmery stuff.
