I received this today and it is very good. Well worth the cash and that is not something I get to say very often these days. Another solid release that deserves to sell really well. I played it to my pet tiger and it didn't try to rip my throat out, which is also a very good sign. |

If you've never heard of it, get the fuck off this message board you obviously don't belong here. I think it is pretty pants to be honest. |

||||||||

I never really like any other plaid stuff, but spokes is in a class of it's own. I feckin' Love it!!! Fav tracks: Even spring Cedar city Marry : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
for some reason im not nearly as much interested in this album (didnt hear it) as i was for double figure.... ill have to give it a listen soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about the bonus cd? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh I gotta heard it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why did they leave itsu off it though? thats such an amazing track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It wouldn't fit, it' not in the same vein if you know what i mean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's good, just nothing groundbreaking. Very nice production and a few nice melodies. You get Itsu on the mix CD if you preordered Spokes (I love the intro to Itsu). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No it's not ground breaking but i don't think it was supposed to be. Whatever happened to good tunes? Well there's plenty of those on there. |
||||||||
|

it was a joke, i was making fun of "now lets discuss plaid" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i loved p-brane ...but otherwise ...mmmh well lets say my little bruv loves them.. :D havent heard it yet but i dont like the cover art thats for shure... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
their weakest album yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I meant it isn't much of a departure for Plaid. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine album - immaculately produced too. |

why is the link to this thread not in bold and not the usual link colour? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos it's one of those special threads.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i absolutely adore Quick Emix... its so... words cannot express!!! i've had the album for a while on mp3, but i've ordered the 12" at the record shop so dont have a go at me.. i think most of the tracks have kind of worn off on me... like i've loved them all at one stage, but Quick Emix has survived the test of time... Marry & the first 2 minutes of Even Spring are my favorites.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm looking forward to receive it!! (with the bonus CD too i hope!) : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did love Quickenit too... but there was a bit too much clarity and resonance in that track... im babbling, my point... i want to make love to Quick Emix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so far, all I can say is that this release is their weakest yet. I fuckin' hope they get their act together before the next release. |

pfft |

I hate it when I get pubic hair in my mouth! *pfft* :) |

Compared to the last three albums it's not fit to lick their boots, a bold experiment and maybe a natural progression from P-Brane the problem is it's simply not very interesting. The upcoming DVD, if it contains new stuff, will hopefully set them back on track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's nothing special about spokes. NOTHING. It's simply boring. I loved p-brane though, but this, this is just weak |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even spring, zeal and marry are TOP tracks. among the best tracks from plaid. but it's a matter of taste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I suppose. but then again, maybe it'll grow on me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's excellent. nothing daring,no. but no sec. bores me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am just waiting to have the money f**k warp with their non electron laws |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm listening now... it's not in the same league as Double Figure or P-Brane, but it's pleasant enough. I love their production, but the compositions just aren't clicking with me. |
||||||||
|

Even Spring (i read 'Cuca Spring' at the beginning... silly font... =P) is a surprising (my first reaction was "what the hell?!!") and quite unusual opener. it is quite good, though it certainly can't rivalize with other "Plaid with lyrics" tracks (which are almost always my favourite... Manyme, Extork, Lilith... those were so good!!) Crumax Rins and Upona are nice... but not really memorable nor astonishing. Zeal, Cedar City and B Born Droid are all excellent! i think the record really picks up steam into Zeal (though at the end of Zeal, it gets a bit loose - but it starts back with Cedar City). and Marry is very good too. i won't try to describe them, i wouldn't know... Get What You Gave is "Myopia II". nothing more to say! ^^ welcome back tropical mood. : ) Buns is very nice. Quick Emix isn't that good of a closer track though, whereas Spudink or Manyme were superb ones... Quick Emix is quite forgettable and doesn't make that much of an ending (something i criticize more and more now in albums, i noticed)... but well. as a whole it's a nice album; they made a noticeable change in their style (except for Get What You Gave ; )), which is a nice thing too... but still, for now i think it's weaker than Not For Threes or Double Figure. i'd say it is a record for Plaid fans, more than for the casual Plaid listener. not *astonishing* nor really original, but a very pleasant listen, if you like Plaid it is well worth the money. : ) i think it is a quite representative album of what 'idm' is too, without going in the extremes like some Autechre is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

(Quick Emix could grow on me later though.) what i think makes it "weaker" than Not For Threes or Double Figure isn't the quality of the music itself, it is very good; but the general feeling of the album isn't as "strong". you can, after you've listened to it, listen to something totally different without thinking of it anymore... it doesn't make you "travel" as much... probably, the music itself is as good but it just isn't as "catchy". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

"i'd say it is a record for Plaid fans, more than for the casual Plaid listener." I disagree. I for one, think most of Plaid's stuff is kind of boring (not enough of an edge), but I think this album is pretty good. and I have heard more reactions from people who where indifferent to Plaid before. it seems the Plaid fans are the ones that seem disappointed by this release. |
||||||||

|
|
err, yes... you're probably right. =) |
||||||||
|
|

saw the vinyl at the local record store for 28 fricking dollars, wtf? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too right, got it on my head right now, i'm on 'Sincetta' weepy power bass |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bought this yesterday... and I think it's really cool... now mind you, I haven't been listening to Plaid very long... with the exception of P-Brane which I bought over a year ago... but hey, it's nice enough... gonna take some more listens to really get into it I think... but there's a few songs, track 7, 8, and another one, which really are great already!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its very good, but it's not their best. I don't see how you can like this but not other Plaid stuff, this is hardly different. The bonus disc is reet good and all. I can't read any of the track names properly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's very poor, probably the worst plaid album ever. It's just plain old boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I agree with Dannn there... it sounds like Double Figure... so, if you like Double Figure, how can you not like this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not boring, no just not very good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, boring/not good = same shit :) |
||||||||
|
|

Listening to it again right now, and while I might be partial to their other releases, Phobiazero is right, 'even spring', 'zeal', 'Cedar City', and 'Marry' are all "TOP" tracks and some of the best I've ever heard from Plaid. The more I listen to this album the more the other songs will stand out for sure, but I can honestly say with content that Plaid can do me no wrong. p.s. That Vocal edit in 'Even Springs' kicks major booty. When I first put the album in and heard that I was like Holy Shit that rules. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, I wasn't a plaid fan before, all their other stuff was pretty boring and a bit too minimalistic. I like 'bytes' back when they we're Black Dog, but spokes blew it all away. Only Plaid album I own. |

Your brain is turned inside out. You might wanna have someone take a look at it. I'll do it for free. I like you. |
||||||||

|||||||||

This album is kicking my ass. I love it. It's what made me a Plaid believer. I thought they were ho-hum at best before this release. Crumax Rins, Zeal, Marry, Buns... holy shit. It kills me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahhhh....that vocal edit on 'even spring' is class, class I tell you!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got this a few days ago... its pretty good. not AMAZING... but good. Enjoyable. |
