New Nightmares on Wax

I just got hold of a copy of the new one.

Really don't bother!

The last one was dull but this one is really pushing the
envelope. It is a real shame because I thought Mind
Elevation was a nice direction and should, if all things
were fair, have pushed them into the mainstream.

If you have liked them in the past pull out their older
stuff and just pretend the last two albums never existed.

i quite liked their last album in some parts, although it
dragged on. not really THAT interested in the new one, but i
guess i'll check it out when the spirit moves me. too bad
about your impression, doesn't bode well.

Not good at all.

I used to listen to them all the time. I think I nearly wore
out Smokers Delight (I think I bought it about 3 times after
lending it to people and not getting it back). I really
wanted to like it.

were they the big fat king size ones that were a promotion
for in a space outta sound? my friend had those (actually
discovered nightmares... because of the papers and my
recommendation). they roll spliffs quite nicely.

on another note, i quite liked their last album. not as
sonically adventurous as the previous two, but it was a
wonderful album to throw on a chill out to. some really good
r&b melodies in there, to me it has a similar feeling to
burial's second album.

i'll be listening to this new ep soon.

if you're asking the OP, no. we're discussing the new promo
which was just leaked titled, "thought so..."

yeah. the coolest part about them is the perforated bits of
paper at the end of the pack that serves as making nicely
sized crutches (lil paper filters rolled into the end of a
spliff, if theyre known as something else in the uk).

you're wrong sir

N.O.W's sound engineer, live band members and guests -
including Ricky Ranking, Chyna Brown and Ella May - joined
him in a convoy of camper vans.

version with rodney p on, was that off mind elevation?

Save your apologies for all your other contemptible errors.


It's been aaaaagggesss since I've taken a faux dig at
you, it feels like putting on an old pair of slippers. My
own slippers, not someone else's.

For the record, Nightmares on Wax is a loose collective
featuring all the members of Gescom, the Aphex Twins, the
original LFO who left shortly before the other three made
themselves famous, Square from Squarepusher, Richard H Kirk
and some other bloke.

no need to apologize, i was talking about the ep this thread
refers to. the music in this album is not played by one man
only, you notice it listening to the tracks unless he played
the live instruments alone, and i think that it's just fair
to say that they have been a band of nightmares on wax
playing together. plus, with this one it seems that he's
definately not going back to do solo stuff but i might be
wrong of course. it's a good work and it has its good
moments but it's also weak overall, for sure it sounds like
he (they) didn't give a fuck about the audience and thought
about enjoying their trip so it's all good. on the warp
side, saying that this is fresh enough to deserve a release
and dropping jimmy edgar is pure nonsense imo.

I sort of miss it to be honest!

Mohamed, chill, those apologies had far too many dots at the
end..

Many people work for prince (for example), yet oddly enough
prince is not a band. Anyway let's FORGET IT!
