both aleamapper and asect:dsect (which the dutch online store where I ordered it spelled that as asext:dsect - goodness!) are huge steps forward from lipswitch. problem with lipswitch is that it seems all beats and a lot of DSP fuckery, nothing much more. although track 1 and track 5 (from the top of my head) are quite excellent. yeh yeh yeh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not bad, I guess. It gets a bit boring, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the last track (8?) is hot too. I have aleamapper, good stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
asect dsect is much better imo...lipswitch is nice too. but asect dsect is probably one of best 5 albums released last year. devine is surely one of best electronic musicians around. and his live shows are something to really look forward to...great guy |

I saw him do a dj set, at the warp tour 2 summers ago, in NYC. It was very loud and fast and crazy |
||||||||

you say it so much better, Fabien. your comments are like a summer's breeze, wafting over xltronic, lying face down on some warm grass, pants down with bare bottom. |

xltronic being the one laying face down on some warm grass, pants down with bared bottom. |

richard devine is the business. hear his come to daddy remix? fucking great song. his tunes are like funked up static in a bouncey castle of sugarcube DSP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i have that 10+3 remixes by warp, good disk dont remember that remix as anything "above and beyond the call of duty" though |
||||||||
|

he say's he often uses upwards of 3000 sounds a song, believe it or not you can f'n hear it. when listening to asect:dsect on headphones in a pitch black room, i nearly pass out from the awe-inspiring meticulousness of his creations. dude states it takes him a week to get 30 seconds to a minutes worth of a track. highly recommended. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I really like the first track, patelle. And the track towards the end that is quieter and more melodic - is that the last track? Don't remember. The rest of the tracks, not so much. I've listened to aleamapper and asect:dsect and they impressed me for the first few listens. Then I started to wonder why he didn't just put some walnuts and ball-bearings in a blender. I mean sure the sounds don't repeat, but are they dissimilar enough to merit the kind of work herbwest is describing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's kinda what i was implying. on the surface the sounds aren't radically different from one another. but on a dope ass pair of headphones coupled with undivided attention, his brilliance becomes evident. he himself describes what he does as, "making alien environments." which is really how is work should be viewed. anyone wanting or expecting catchy or emotionally charged melodies are going to be dissapointed. but if it's inventive sonic landscapes, forward thinking aural textures combined bits of melody poking through the surface then Devine is a dude you have to check out. there is much more to what he does than pure DSP wankery. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hm, maybe I haven't given it the attention it deserves then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Here's the problem - I often listen to new music on my portable as I walk to work, and maybe I should reserve that for more rockin tunes that go better with traffic noise. It's frustrating, 'cause at that hour of the day I want to listen to stuff like Tim Hecker and Fennesz, and it just doesn't mix well with walking and traffic. I need a Cone of Silence(TM) for my head. But I complain too much - at least I don't car-pool and if there's a radio on in the office, it's playing classical, so I don't have to put up with contemporary adult alternative or whatever they're calling bad music these days. |

i like his work but he's one guy i can almost be sure of is that he doesn't know exactly what he's doing when he writes a song. like the way some things come out are by accident. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I love his explorations of timbre & sound spaces... And the feeling of being able to zoom in on just the sounds, or zoom out and feel the wholeness of their interactions & rhythms... Basic techno is the sound of people learning to count (up to 4), whereas RD is what techno would sound like if John Maeda & Stephen Wolfram was stuck in Derrick May's infamous techno elevator (alongwith Kraftwerk & G. Clinton)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no way man. Its completely calculated. out of all the IDM producers, Id say he is the best sound designer/synthesist. He knows so much theory of synthesis its not funny. No, when he makes a sound, its intentional. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep. every sound is where it is supposed to be. he's very meticulous. his music does not sound random to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its a very good record |
||||||||
|

Didn't like Lipswitch as much as Aleamapper & Asect:Dsect. Those two are just great. Richard is a nice guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have been trying to find aleamapper..but havent found it anywhere...know a online shop that has it?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as CD....i have asect and lipswitch...they are both good..dunno which i prefer more... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Rusx Fee - Y'all know this one packs the heat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
speaking of alien sounds, anyone else feel like Asect:Dsect has almost got samples from "Alien" and "Aliens" - the screams of the xenomorphs, the spacecraft hull creaking, the wind on the alien himeworld etc. check it out - i kid you not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Let Mendax kind of has that sci-fi feel to it. I love it, though. Strange creature-like sounds moving from left to right. Fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love this now thinking about finally getting aleamapper |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love his music but my only problem is he uses a lot of scrapey, high-pitched noises that grate on my ears after awhile. everything is so full it's hard to sit down and listen for long stretches. better to dance yo ass off! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to me is the opposite... his music just hypnotizes me... and I can sleep to it, study with it, work ewith it or simply listen to it... and dance to it... it enters my body with every little sound and makes me a brain massage |

richard devines albums are akin to a malignant timour |

I listened to this amazing EP again the other week for the first time in about 3 years now. I like his unique sound although Cautella is difficult to get into. |
||||||||
|
|

thats just a typo |
