This new album is AWFULLY good. A serious step forward for Mr. Funk. After a few listens all the way through it really starts to show its colors and *gasp* structure.
Steady gothic melodies and chords with intricate, sharp, synthetic percussion. By far the most "IDM" of any snares releases... closer to the WITBOAS vibe. Also reminds me quite a bit of Drukqs in places.
Favorite tracks so far: Vida, Li2CO3, Keek, Nineteen 1319.

Yeah it's hella nice. More "replay value" than most snares albums.

Li2CO3 is the bomb :) and the last track too, that's pretty intense in places, too bad they don't last very long.
I still think WITBOAS is overall better, the vocals and stuff really added something to that one. But this is very good.

my fav is also cadmium lung jacket. the resin effect where the drums like just go fucking "i'm outside, maybe i'll be on the roof" for like two beats then they step back in and proceed down a corridor of plasticene.

In a (not very) interesting aside, Li2CO3 is the chemical symbol for lithium carbonate, used in batteries and controlled nuclear fusion reactors. But you knew that already.

Hey an even cooler thing would be to try and decode that mathematical sum that the computer voice recites in Keek.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the 'you have my number' sample later in the album???

I've had this song on repeat for a while now. I can't help but feel like Cadmium Lung Jacket is quite Autechre-ish and even remeniscent of VI Scose Poise, albeit much harsher... and I mean that in the best possible way :D
It really makes me think of Confield / Gantz Graf and where I actually expected Draft to go.
Anyone?

I think there's alot of emphasis on metallic-like textures and playing with the space of the sounds, similar to what Ae did with Confield and Gantz Graf.

Don't just scan it quickly once or twice (I made this mistake with the clips a few weeks ago)... it requires multiple listens. And make sure you have some good headphones or monitors.
