Does anyone have this 4-cd set yet? Is it any good?

Seems that I have some of it - disc 2 and disc 3 titles are
the same to those in Pan sonic EMI promos 1 and 2. If
versions are the same, then disc 2 is rather good, contains
some songs with nice rhythms, and disc 3 is 'silent ambient'
- reverberating noises and tones with lots of silence...

so has anyone actually heard all of this yet? i'm seriously
considering buying it... it's only 43 bucks canadian, which
is not a bad deal... problem is that i've already ordered
this 70 dollar triple disc release from the hafler trio...
and i don't have a job yet...

in any case: is it sweet?

actually im going to check someting...what album should i
start with?

some people think they are like the best glitch artists in
the world... and others think they are dry beyond belief...
it's a toss-up really... i never really got into their last
album, aaltopiiri, but i never gave it much of a chance...
mika vainio's latest solo work is real nice though...

maybe Kulma? i've never heard it, but it seems to be held in
pretty high regard...

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



cool, im d/ling kulma. i've heard they are good, but a
friend who said that doesn't quite like the same stuff i
like :)
she likes stuff like manitoba, telefon tel aviv and stuff
like that...
i hope this is better :)

well it's definitely a far cry from the above mentioned
artists, as far as accessibility goes... that's for sure....



 

offline tolstoyed from the ocean on 2004-05-22 16:59 [#01201937]

well, she likes all sorts of music...anyhow i was meaning to
check pan sonic for a while now...i saw some of their
records in our music shops over here and probably that
turned me off of trying it...cuz, well, they usually son't
sell good music :)

They really are good. I just think that sometimes the tracks
get a bit confusing, when they have two sounds layered,
going at once. I just find it hard to follow the knocking
sound when there's a swooshing sound confusing me in the
background.

Aren't they a bit like monolake?

that'd be nice...i like monolake quite a bit...though im
thinking they're nothing alike.

I have interest also mixed feelings about their prev works.

this time, cd 1 and 2 irritated me and made me want to go
blast webern.

3 and 4, still to check...

I don't know what is lacking here but hope something better
comes in this direction.

"Aren't they a bit like monolake?"

A bit. Monolake is more conservative and techno with his
sounds and structures, whereas Pan Sonic use far more
abstract and gritty sources.

They intersect in a kind of post Basic Channel sound, but
Pan Sonic expand that into far noisier and more adventurous
territory. Not to knock Monolake, which is ace too.

just listened to it right now.... really brillant.
with more than four hours of music, and nothing to throw
away!! i don't agree with disc 3 being "silent ambient"
though, by the way...

I've heard some of it... Pan is fairly difficult to begin
with, and being swamped by these thousands and thousands of
seconds worth of music is going to take some doing.

Start with disk 2. It's the most accessible, I think.

I have started to listen to this, starting with disc 1 and
moving on to 2 and 3.

So far- a lot to digest. I'm not sure how much I like it
yet.

I'm liking Kesto more and more. Especially disc 2.

follow up to fleetmouse:

"Yet many in The World are willingly allowing their
workplaces to be corrupted, by allowing menstruating women
into the office. It makes me sad to see the depths of sin in
The World today..."

wow!

I'm listening to disk 4 - the one where you're a tiny chrome
coroner traveling through a vast corpse of black gases and
gelatine.

Some days I'm going to bed and I think - oh no! I didn't
listen to some Kesto today!
