This album is a little baffling to me.
The almost-carnival atmosphere turns me off a bit, but the
attention to detail is astonishing.

First impressions made me think of the JSF. It's awesome,
but redundant at the same time. Production sounds flawless.
But the music hasn't made sex to my ears yet. And I'm not
sure it will.

This should be played as loud as possible.

enjoyed two listens while photoshopping, not paying much
attention at times and i liked the sound and athmosphere
very much. it will receive further listens and eventually a
purchase! very lucky about this :)

no..

well.. yes..

albeit, no.

the loudness. why the fucking loudness? in theory i actually
love this new amon tobin album, but what's up with the "push
every single instrument to its limits" mentality.

yes, some music actually BENEFITS from loudness. i'm
thinking about daft punk, club music in general, in addition
to stoner rock (like kyuss, qotsa, boris) and whatever the
fuck else is out there. i don't know. some other shit music
probably benefits from it too.

point is: DON'T PUSH EACH AND EVERY INSTRUMENT UP TO 99 DB,
YOU RETARDED HALF-MAN, HALF-DONKEY PIECE OF STINKING GOO.

i'm on a roll now. oh yeah i'm feeling it, you fucking turd
ball. go listen to squarepusher. that's EXACTLY what you
should do.

he gets it. he treats instruments (and their frequency
ranges) individually in terms of mixing and mastering. he
doesn't push every single fucking thing up to 235623623
until it sounds like shit and feels like getting kicked in
the head.

no, he doesn't. you know why? because his sound is always
GOOD, even when his songs are really shit. REALLY.

that's all for now. as a finale please listen to this 70s
master production:

LAZY_TITLE

thank you. fuck you.

i'm into ~15th minute of Isam with that F.Mac mixed into and
it all sounds awesome squared

and that's a regular Tobin album: partly awesome, partly
just interesting and partly bullshitty (most vocal parts,
especially near the end)

for sure

i thought the album cover was cool, 'til i realised it was
photoshopped.

a followup to my rant:

it's not THAT loud. i'm basically just jealous at his
versatility.

however, i've come to realize the album's not that good
either. i certainly appreciate the effort put into it, and
it sounds like he's been using kyma and/or max a lot.

he's doing new and interesting things, and i tip my hat to
that.

thank you, amon and keep on doing your thang.

I dunno, the album almost sounds like one big intro
though production value is very high and all that I don't
really know when I would listen to this...which is a very
weird statement.

I listened to this when I drank a pint, smoked a joint and
did the dishes..It was wonderfull.
