i really like their first album it is pretty loud for 1994 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Me too Very good |
||||||||
|

i keep hearing cream's "i feel free" mixed in with the groove strangers in my hed but so far all my attempts to combine the two songs have led to disaster |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like to think of it as the only good trip hop album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
wandering star is my fave |
||||||||
|
|

'it could be sweet' imo |

their second lp is better if you ask me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(dunno why that's a followup) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah i like that one too |
||||||||
|

i like to think of it as the only good trip hop album oh, come now. mezzanine is also fantastic |
||||||||
|
|

|
their second lp is better if you ask me i listened to it a bit but it didn't sound quite as deep as the first need to give it more proper listening time before i really have an opinion tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the second lp. yes, definitely, the production doesn't send tendrils of caressing bass through the floor anywhere near as much as the first does. songwriting is still good, but, i dunno, a bit more NiN? the atonal guitaring i guess |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more like collide, actually, with more minimal production |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
maybe i should revisit dummy, i don't remember the bass being anything out of the ordinary but maybe it's an album for systems not headphones. requires investigation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
howzabout their third? i like it v much, more than dummy (pending further investigation) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bjorkocollider their third, it is both their title and their third the third is more like... i dunno, add n to (x) and psychedelic rock. like it more than second but less than first |

first album was reportedly a multitrack tape job, or something. people gripe about rick rubin and californication in 1999, but dummy is loud as fuck in 1994... but also in a very pleasant way; the bandwidth seems largely reserved for the bass, with the high-end punching through precisely as necessary. it's louder than most albums, if you compare it, but it's also not harsh like some really loud albums (clark, i am looking in your direction) second album, i dunno, just seems rushed. the deep production is gone; there are only a handful of tracks i like. third they were all just swapping logic files and chatting about it; i was reading some interviews. still doesn't bass like dummy |

Maxinquaye is great, I like Pre Millenium Tension and Nearly God as well. |

mezzanine is mostly boring and overall very fatiguing to listen to |
||||||||
|

i like protection (the song) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blue lines is still their best nearly 30 years on but no protection (mad professor's dub rework) is also pretty cool. protection (the song itself) makes me all tearful if i'm feeling a bit fragile |
||||||||
|

protection is, forever, kate libby on a roof by a pool while dade murphy is "just looking" at her laptop anyways, the motion of the beat in karmacoma gives me a synaesthetic sense of a tiger walking. just the pattern of the way all the limbs and shoulder blades move, it's obvious if you listen but kind of hard to verbalize |

i do this thing where i discover an artist/album and i'm utterly obsessed with them/it for about two weeks; then i move on to obsessing over something else. from this pattern of behavior, there's a giant pool of stuff i've previously obsessed over, filed away with details. the voice at the back of my brain pulls from this constantly, just sort of DJing for myself, trying to synchronize myself with teh riddims 'n' vibes doing my stretches this morning, one of the songs off portished's dummy floated up out of the back of my brain. i thot: hey, portished. actually haven't listened to them in months. i made a note to put it on later... ...but, no, not yet. finally, tonight, just getting home from dinner with lewis, and, yes, now's the time, right now, put it on. it fit the mood perfectly. glory box is just winding down, and that was perfect for a friday night. there's a train trax nearby and they usually just hurtle by but then there's a train stopping, for some reason, and the brakes are emitting a cacophonous chorus of squealing, and i cannot describe how perfectly it synced up with the song. there are loads of train wheels all doing different tones, and it's like someone adding a keyboard line on top so, yes, that was a nice pick. |

Some of the mixes from the 12"s off of Dummy are good too. |
