Porn Sword Tobacco

I'd love to find out more, but I fear that Google will be unpropitious.

whatever it is, that's a fucking awful name.

If you pronounce the W in Sword it's a great name.

Also, any band name that doesn't begin with "The" for the win, basically.

then yeah i like it

Yeah it is a bit too IDM at times actually. But I still rilly like.

Apparently the name comes from a shop near where the dude lives (in Sweden?) and that's what they sell...

xp it's a great album cover too.

currently digesting

I thought this would be a Wu-Tang thread.

lol @ "too idm"

I like this quite a bit too

I've just realised what the concept behind the on-CD-case tracklisting is. Very, very nice.

i think explains freedom might be better. especially 'futuristic rasta money'

lol @ "too idm"

Lots of write-ups calling it ambient. It isn't ambient, it's IDM. I like the former but not the latter. LOLz

what, it can't be both?

Nah. On ILM, everything has to belong to a genre (preferably a microgenre); such pigeonholings are the only way we can get our head around the idea of variety in music.

ha ha, well said

is this one of those albums that is ambient IDM? maybe with some guitar layers but overall its atmospheric music?

what, it can't be both?
Yes it can but I'd prefer if it wasn't.

I like rap and metal but I don't like rap-metal.

In all honesty I just feel sorry for the guy who released an album just like this, for free, on a "net-label" five years ago which was downloaded by about 5 people while this guy seems to be successful.

i'm feel sorry for me trying to download it for free and not being successful.

i do not feel sorry for me, because i got it off amazon for a fiver.

your rap-metal analogue is crass and irrelevant btw. who gives a toss whether something is trying to be 'IDM' or 'ambient', or both? judge it on how it sounds, compared to how other things sound. bringing unnecessary genre debates into musical discussion is the bane of this entire messageboard.

Try reading what I wrote. I could care less about classifications.

Except in so-far as they help describe the music. So I got something thinking it was ambient like Brian Eno. Not plinky-plonky reverbing twinkles.

plinky-plonky reverbing twinkles

^^ eno??

...but not all 'ambient' music has to sound like Eno! it's a very broad adjective, and i'd describe the found-sound floaty-static vignettes that comprise the majority of this record (i.e. the 'incidental'-sounding stuff) as quintessentially ambient! just because some of the tracks have keyboard riffs doesn't mean it can't be ambient. your expectations have been perverted by preconceptions about musical buzzwords. calling something 'ambient' can only ever be a loose definition, unless you don't understand what the word 'ambient' means.

i like every single prog song ever, and i like every single shoegaze song ever, but i loathe every single song that attempts to combine any of the characteristics of the two

My expectations have not been perverted by shit.

I like idm and ambient. I like Aphex Twin in "ambient" mode. Some of the album is very good. Tracks like "giftwrap yourself, slowly" make me want to vomit.

aha, but you have actually gone to the bother of isolating a single track from the album and expressing why you don't like it. this isn't the same as dismissing the whole album as 'IDM' or 'IDM crossed with ambient, which I hate, because you shouldn't mix genres', which is what you were saying/implying earlier. yeah, 'giftwrap yourself, slowly' has a fairly 'IDM'-esque drum sound (should you wish to put it like that), and i can see how this irritates you. no need to take it out on the whole album.

The thing is the tracks I don't like are half the album. One called "pappa" something or other was probably even more lamentable.

I'm comfortable with miscegenation. I was just looking for something a bit more ignorable/background.

fair enough. the 'pappa' one i find to be quite a pretty keyboard piece, but it doesn't have the subliminity found elsewhere.

some of the beats are kind of lamentable. i think that's why i prefer the other two albums

The beat on 'Cubical Fever' (think that's what it's called) is not lamentable; it is favouable, fortunate, beneficial.

i only heard the two old ones and i liked the sound but i figured the tracks would go from "ok, not bad" to "wow i must have this" if the tracks were longer than 2-3 minutes

shhheeeeeesh. I've been listening to these mp3s out of order until now. Sounds better in order!

the shitey idm beats are def a turn off still :/
BUT i still liejk this quite a lot

i put it on, had a cone and before you knew it, it had finished...

...yet i cant remember what it sounded like

musta been good...
