why don't they use distortion on anything? |

to answer my own question, dopest acid i've heard in a while @ |

I tried to listen to their new album and I found it deeply underwhelming. Mind you've I've never liked Plaid. Too prim, too fussy. Yes, I said that. |

because distortion has allergies to plailooooool |

me and Russell were talking about plaid last night |

Jivver once told me that Plaid uses an to come up with their unusual chord and melody movements and I've never been able to un-hear it. |

"Some Omnichord musicians will play the instrument as a keytar, by strapping the instrument on both ends and playing it as if it were an electric guitar" If Plaid do this live then maybe I'll get back into them. I remember once Jivver called Beaumont Hannant a bit of a dick and up until then I'd kind of liked what I'd heard of his, but after that damning judgement I could never listen to him again. And never will |

"Ops" from the latest Plaid album just came on on Spotify shuffle (or whatever,) and I enjoyed it. In the longer term I don't know what this means, and whether this changes anything. All I will say, for now, is that I enjoyed it. The track "Ops". |

Apart from Jivver, obvs, Luke Vibert was the nicest IDMer I ever met. An impression I am led to believe shared by many. |

plaid is awesome, first row, heavyweight idm masters. they had some bland tracks and album(s) in the last years but so did aphex and co. i got spotify recently and started listening to some new tunes and there are some pretty good ones. me like |

i thoroughly enjoyed their peel sessions when i was a young lad |

all their songs sounds so clear, it's like their trademark, distortion would ruin it for them. |

I like plaid more as they age. |

((but the vocals in "synthesize" could actually represent how distortion could work in a plaid track)) |

just re-listening to the nts set and it's very good indeed... especially enjoying the 5/4 track around the 20min mark, mixed in perfectly too. tricky to pull off so well |

i never did well with time signatures. i can dance to this set, i can dance to venetian snares, but i couldn't actually tell you what time signature any of it's in. if i sit there and focus, yes, i can probably figure it out... but, i dunno, all the EpicMegatracker stuff has been like: take some noise, take a drum loop, pitch it and slice and chop until it fits a tempo, and you wind up with a drum loop that loops perfectly at 165bpm but where the beats fit are not 4/4. if it didn't blind me i'd run everything double-time to increase that aspect of it. instead, i'll just use sample offset and such to squeeze in between the grid lines so, yeah. "they use odd time signatures" has never really been a selling-point for me, for any band. errata: the first time i "grokked" an odd time signature was the verse of "money" by pink floyd, my freshman year of college |
