grooving to Shobaleader's "Laser Rock." just feeling mad open...and need to confirm, nay...to absolutely report!!!! I've lived in many different countries, conquered many women, been subdued by many fucktard landlords, and even met a living Buddha... IDM (esp >[]) conquers them all. 30yrs old now...lived in thailand, tokyo, honolulu, maui...(when i left the forum and Seattle in 2k2-ish). IDM conquers them all. all. thank you...everyone! |

What i'm trying to say is that the mindset from IDM is ver difficult for others to subdue...in life our minds shape our reality, are we living another person's dream? living out their psychic projection? fuck no. not with AE, >[], afx, as your crew. np: Cryptic motion. yuuuuup. ill. period. |

it was way too flaccid for my tastes. |

elaboration: i liked cryptic motion, but the rest was rather bland. oizo's remix of cryptic motion was terrible. i'm very sorry i bought the vinyl single with it on the flip side. never again. |

I liked 'Maximum Planck' for its hardcore'ism. I'd love to hear a band play like that track all the time. Something about the mixing on this album has always bored me though. |

sup Junktion, long time no bbs, man. by mixing are you referring to the mastering? or track layering (i think you are referring to the latter) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Sup. Nothing much :) Yes - the layering. It just seems that what should be in the front of the sound, is in the back, and vise versa. I would love to get my hands on the stems for a remix |

i'm going to LIVEBLOG it as i give it another shot for you, nanotech 1. Plug Me In very well done, but the tune itself is like an insanely aggravating 80s tv show intro theme; laugh-track moments montaged. the add (n) to x song is much better. 2. Laser Rock probably my second-favorite track on the album. how do i know? i actually remember this track. i like how his voice bubbles into arpeggios and then tears a hole in spacetime. overall, though, it gets a bit repetitive. dear tom jenkinson: when you go reeeeallllll~~~ you chop it off before the breath is over and then start looping. that's fine for a while, but then please just drop the tempo, do some crazy ambient fillout, then drop your loop back in. i need a breather, or my brain says "ok bored" and i start writing bad reviews on aphex twin's message board 3. Into The Blue while the song is admittedly blue, it really isn't much else. i liked tensor in green more 4. Frisco Wave bubble life continues to persist against all odds, appearing on album after album. this is not my favorite version of it 5. Megazine nice tracker sorta drum beat. but then the vocals are awkward. eesh. AWKWARD 6. Abstract Lover i think i just hate this album because it feels like catching herpes from MTV. (bass) guitar solos are pretty good tho 7. Endless Night i'm sorry, i thought this track was called star time 2? 8. Cryptic Motion pops gets funky. starts to get a bit limp at the end, but overall quite ardent 9. Maximum Planck i thought max planck was more about minimums! fairly indistinct for the first three or four minutes. the takeoff is amusing. then it becomes indistinct again. i think of how aphex programmed the drums on "taking control," and it makes me want to bail on this LIVEBLOG, and go listen to that instead. but i'm a trooper, here. 10. On Fire Again the intro is stupid, then it's good for 30 seconds, then it's wank for a bit, then it gets pretty good. like an old C64/SID tune whatever, though. i |

i tend to dislike every 2nd or 3rd album of his. he misses, occasionally. |

+1 for Mr. EpicMegatrax for amazing review. Please make a blog where you do nothing else |

I meant that btw. That's funny shit |

Oh, and that second thing. |

did the IDM help you in your woman-conquerage? |
||||||||
|
|

I really enjoyed both star time 2, and endless night... i'm going to immerse myself into more >[], I need to be able to hum these tunes right off the bat when mentioned. Now, i'm not trying to put Jenkinson down, but could you please list the "miss" albums so that i could get a reference? |

only in Japan...in Thailand it was my "stillness" that won them over...i would hear "I'm so fire...and your so cool, so it keeps me in check" or something to that degree... Most Thai are very rambunchous...so too are Hawaiians...remember back in class, all those kids that wouldn't sit still? now imagine an entire cluster of them. easily conquered. Here's a pic of my old Thai GF... http://tinypic.com/r/28j9o1z/6 |

IDM is a small elite worshipped and paid for selfishly hoarding proprietary programs and inside knowledge. But who can blame them; you have to make money somehow in this absolute travesty of a system. We IDM listeners will just become obsolete a bit quicker than the IDM makers before the main singularity hits, due to having less money since we gave it all to the IDM makers. |

Squarepusher is not IDM though and he has no inside knowledge. All he does is push pomme de terre around and have a beard. All well, there's stupider famous people like lady gaga and justin beebers. what we need in this world is some sort of extremely acidic fog to come and melt everyone's faces so everyone has no identity. |

i absolutely love big loada and hard normal daddy. those albums are both very special for me. venus no. 17 ep is epic. just a souvenir was unexpected and amazing. hello everything had some good tracks, but it was a bit too frozen microwave dinner (same with ufabulum). ultravisitor was an incoherent mess; a man trapped in a shop vac with 50 cycles of drugs. go plastic is ok, not my favorite, but i can understand why it might be yours. music is rotted i can't remember what i think of; i think i only heard it once. i'll get on that this week sometime now that i've thought of it i mostly prefer electronic, and i'm not into his bass-focused bits except for potential guvnor |

"Music is rotted one note" has got "My sound" which is a fantastic track. |
||||||||
|
|

"Feed Me Weird Things" always and forever, will be my favorite Squarepusher album - Next to "Burningn'n Tree" |
||||||||
|

"music is rotted one note" is my favorite []< album by far. it's the one with the least amount of "wank," or at least the most tolerable "wank" of his catalogue. the rest of his albums have moments of immense awesomeness, but kind of get lost up his butthole at times. maybe it just works better in the form of jazz jamouts versus ambient noisescapes. well, except for shoebaleader one - i hated that album. |

wierd things, and one note is great...what do you peeps think of Ultravisitor? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some great moments, but god do i hate that ring mod effect he uses on his bass so often through that album - it's grating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hrm...could you post a track & time stamp? I love dissecting IDM. We all do. :) |

grateing indeed...contrasts well with the reverb, yet it's a gimmick that's over used to much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe i'm just not smart enough to get it, but ultravisitor seemed 90% wank to me. empty virtuosity. it's like he was trying to one-up drukqs, but just embarrassed himself instead. |
