Now, lets discuss Richard Devine - Asect:Desect [SCH23]. I don't care if any messages are not related to this particular release. Own it! Oh please, the Moderators can go fuck themselves if they don't like this. |

i liked what i heard...expecting my copy to arrive any day now but he should really release some dancefloor oriented stuff in the future - it wont spoil his name or anything as it is great music |

i'm loving it. there are only 2 things that dissapopint. 1.) the cover is awful. and i really mean that! 2.) too many silly bleeping noises that get me frantically checking my household appliances for errors..... |

Sounds very similar to lipswitch at first listening and very different after. The guy is creating his unique signature - the ambient track (#4) is very good. I'm giving 5 stars ***** |

hey ivo! spending 'down-time' here? this album sounds amazingly crispy (-> crispy sounds). tracks 1, 4 and 5 are my favorites. have i already mentioned that it sounds really crispy? |

''this album sounds amazingly crispy'' I know what you mean. I love his sounds and production values. And he can drop a mean mechanical beat in there when he wants to. After a couple weeks to get into is, I guess this is probably his best yet. |

I'm loving it too....well put... A nice mix between the more freeform styles of Alecmapper & the rhythms of Lipswitch... Crispness-wise, it was a 24bit 96 recording so I guess that's shown up in the CD...it certainly has a sense of space & movement within that space that only AE really match... Agreed on the cover art tho...bit dissapointing; but hell, just close your eyes and the visuals come thick & fast... (RD can do no wrong for me at moment I must comfess...like myself, he's a big fan of Francis Bacon & John Maeda (an odd couple).....)... All I want now is a 5.1 DVD, long promised.... |

when it was originally supposed to be released (over 18months ago) it was gonna be a six track ep bridging the gap between lipswitch & aleamapper, that would explain the sounds. i'm still really angry about the cover tho!!!! |

track 7 owns btw. shame i can't read this lame font to tell u what it's called :S |

i'm surprised at how much of a regular thumping groove it has, considering the methodology Devine employed for the purpose of creating his latest release - pretty well most of the material is achieved through various randomly-generated processes brought about through a multitude of sofware applications he has designed himself. reading an interview with him on the making of it, i was expecting something far more chaotic and random, in the vein of Autechre's 'gantz graf', for example, but it actually turns out to be quite an even sounding, rather groove-oriented release after all. read the interview here: |

From the pic I see at warpmart the cover doesn't look too bad Ivo. What is it that you hate about it? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
the whole thing looks tacky, and the fonts used are virtually unreadable. bring back mitDR |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SO agreed on the fonts...I was SHOCKED; almost Hippiesque... A real surpise after the Maeda inspired LipSwitch.... But fuck, the music is the important thing... |
||||||||

i know what you mean, i was also expecting a more chaotic and random sound in this album. but im not disappointed at all with the outcome though, i only feared it would be an aleamapper part 2... |
||||||||

|
ohh man, im loving this album!!! it brings back the memories when i saw him live couple of months ago...same sharp sounds but much faster - it was mental...not that i like this album any less!!! |

Was chuffed to recieve an email from RD recently...outta the blue...saying he liked my link/weblog thing... Can't imagine that many artists who'd do the same....cool guy... |

I don't think his music is as unconventional as Autechre. But it is a lot more "busy" sounding. I really dig Asect:Dsect a lot. |

The artwork is a rip-off of AE's chastic slide. As for the music, well, he does throw a lot of information at a person and the production quality is as clean as it gets but it's all undercut by a lack of progression within the tracks. The relationships between the sounds are static. I actually enjoyed Aleamapper more than this. |

Hey Raving Madman, what do YOU think about Richard Devine? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw him live last week, awesome show, but it was a pity that he did atmosphere stuff, which i like but i would have loved it more if he did a more danceable set. after his gig i had a nice chat with him, he must be the nicest man in IDM. im going to send some pictures to the xlt gallery soon. |
