damn. those two first tracks are some of the best i've heard, coming from a net label, in months. he's got a good ceephaxy vibe going on, only much more elegant and subtle.
i remember his humpeIndenBeats where he did a good impression of squarepusher. so i can only gather that wisp must be a lost sibling of the jenkinsons(?)
i think i'm going to check the other earstroke mpfrees tomorrow. thank you for the files and good luck with the internet

i just noticed the above links dont work...
vlari: im thrilled you like it so much, and i agree with the ceephax reference, he was actually listening to a lot of that during the time in which he made it. thanks for checking!
Fuckwagon: almost as good as the packaging? haha, i'll be sure to commend the designer on his work. thanks!

Yeah I think Wisp is one of the most technically skilled guys I've heard here or at WATMM - his stuff is always perfectly put together, great sounds, great mix, overall top notch production and fairly bland.

wow, i guess he discovered the handclap button on his casio! :)
this ep has sort of a retro sound... 2-4 are my favorites...
i dig most of these tracks, but i like his ep on binkcrsh more overall.

Liked it, liked it a lot, I shall be maintaining this on my hardrive. Classic, unashamed braindance, "Flabby Smuts" is a joy to behold. I am reminded, in a good way, of Astrobotnia, without maybe the spacey element.
In summary: Great.

sorry about the slow downloads, i will look into that.
xf, we plan on pressing and selling vinyl and cd's of this in the near future. im glad you like it so much, i will try to see if i can possibly come up with some limited copies for the time being just to meet the immediate demand.
im thrilled everyone is giving it a chance, thanks again.

I'm a huge fan of Wisp's older stuff, but I didn't like this new album... too brooding without enough melody, and all the tracks sounded too similar, IMO.

haven't heard ceephax yet, but if he likes afx as much as wisp seems to, there's probably a reason to compare.
i'd like to hear more memorable melodies personally, but this is quality stuff, fun to listen to and solid...
