Changeling, for the...changes...

Midnight In A Perfect World

"The Number Song", to me the most percussively interesting song on the album.

hmm 16 tracks? i thought this album had 13.

oh i see, i just looked at the titles.

What Does Your Soul Look Like? (Part 1) - Blue Sky Revisit vs. Changeling vs. Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt.

it was pretty awesome when i threw on Tangerine Dream's Stratosfear for the first time and was like "i know that guitar line!"

(from changeling)

This album always reminds me of being on acid in the rain, 19 yrs old.

"Midnight In a Perfect World" btw.

too too hard

*sigh*

i guess "changeling".. that part where the sax briefly comes in and everything smudges together... oohh

Midnight In a Perfect World - an obvious vote, but it's still the best thing he's ever done. Indeed, one of the best things anyone's ever done.

isn't it "program director"?

i love the shit out of about half of this.

the other half is mediocre trip-hop or something?

Napalm Brain / Scatter Brain. But seriously this whole thing is great for road trips, if you're driving with patient people.

This truly is one of those rare wholes exceeding the sum of their parts. So I'd have to think about it. I can tell you right now, though, what is hands down THE worst track: "Why Hip-Hop Sucks In '96." Still can't stand it to this day even though it remains my choice for best album of the 1990s.

the other half is mediocre trip-hop or something?

no, as someone who once listened to more mediocre trip hop than should be legally allowed (pork, cup o tea, monk & cantella, purple penguin) there is no mediocrity just magic

Tempted to vote for Untitled AKA "Maureen's got five sisters"

Always been v unimpressed with the guy in Stem/Long Stem: "I could just lay right down, I tell you children I could lay right down" - you could lay right down? Jeez, you must have it tough. Do you want a mug of Horlicks?

Sounds like some kind of Jim Jones quote.

Hahaha

I like 'student of the drums' man, he sounds like a nice bloke.

not this^

probably gonna go 'midnight'... probably.

changeling

i do like WDYSLL but am happier with the 4-track ep.

I used to love this and listened to it last year for the first time in ages and realised it was mostly fucking pedestrian and dull. I voted Stem for the pummelling drums. It just edges out Midnight In A Perfect World and Building Steam... though.

pork, cup o tea, monk & cantella, purple penguin

I love all those labels/ acts! Maybe the time is ripe for a Bristol 2nd division trip hop thread...

WDYSLL: 2 > 4 > 1 > 3 (altho 3 has some great speech samples)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'm gonna go with "Eyes As Big As Jolly Ranchers". Who is that guy???

Worst song on the album WITHOUT QUESTION: "Mutual Slump"

Oh what am I saying? Of course the best song is "Building Steam With a Grain of Salt." I change my vote. You cannot fuck with the cut-up drum solo.

"Building Steam" for sure, and yeah this really is a gorgeous entity.

"Building Steam" is what I voted for, btw. Despite my feelings on the rest of the album, it's an un-fuck-withable opener.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Worst song on the album WITHOUT QUESTION: "Mutual Slump"

I question this.

i like that track

it's pretty good, but that "rehaul" that adds the fuzzy synth sound is terrible

3 for "why hip hop sucks"

stem/long stem is the most killer after midnight, should've gotten more votes.

but it got second place!

How did I miss this thread? More importantly how did What Does Your Soul Look Like? (Part 1) - Blue Sky Revisit not get a single vote.

For years this was my go to absolute favourite song, maybe it still is. I think it may have even brought me to tears before, and it inspired me to try drugs for the first time, just to hear what it would sound like on drugs (of course I realized later how much I hate drugs, but that's another story). The way time slows down when those Spanish vocals come in, and God, the part with the scratching at the end, God, just beautiful. It's only better than Midnight in a perfect world by like (||) much though, so whatever.

okay, but still. should have topped those others, i mean.

xpost - i forgot to vote (even though i posted to the thread), but i would've definitely have voted for What Does Your Soul Look Like? (Part 1) - Blue Sky Revisit. that track is incredible.

I think this is the first winner I have voted for in any poll since ILX got them.
