hi guys, just wanted to ask, which albums grew very much on
you? i listened to drukqs now for a very long time. at first
i liked tracks like vordhosbn, i liked them since the first
listen...but now i like tracks like omgyiya switch 7,
cock/ver10, afx237 v7, ziggomatic 17...and the hardcore part
from 54 cymru beats is unbelievable. this album is one of
the best i've ever heard.
which albums did grow on you that much?

Autechre / Confield.

John Callaghan / I'm Not Comfirtable Inside My Mind

Aphex Twin / SAW II

I actually enjoyed them at first listen, but I have never
got tired of them so I think they'll fit into this category.
They are just getting better...

lp5 is soooooo good
you know a story?
i bought lp5 in 1998 , i listened to it... and i thought it
was shit... so i turned it back and changed it for some
other (dont remember)
i bought it again last month and its just perfect...its
beautifull in my opinion

Thievery Corp are very good. Are you talking about the
Mirror Conspiracy? Are they Yanks?

'LP5' is prolly my favorite Ae-release so far... it's very
complete with only a few weak points. Not bad for an album.

ep7 threw me for ages-didnt know what to make of it-now i
love that, and it was a nice audio lubricant for the joys of
confield.

black dog's spanners-just hated it, now i love it.

oh and modus operandi by photek-i thought it was
directionless, until the penny dropped.

bitches brew-miles davis

i think its good to dislike stuff then fall in love with
it-shows that your constantly changing your tastes and
appreciations...

No they just released a brand new mix...

Sounds From The Verve Hi-Fi

Its is really good...I have ALL their albums...."Mirror" is
really a good one too....

They are from the UK I believe....

i don't think so...if i love an album why should i change my
opinion about it...its great so nothing else

Are you sure? I thought they were from Washington DC.

That new one is a compilation though isn't it?

Their DJ kicks album is good and Shaolin Satellite is class

I may be wrong on where they are from....

And yes, "verve" IS a jazz/downtempo
compilation.....I like "Sounds of the thievery Hi-Fi"

"Abductions and Re-Contructions" is excellent....
Hell They are ALL good.

I love that jazzy stuff. Have you got any Kruder &
Dorfmeister, Tosca, Jazzanova, Truby Trio? Check out the
G-Stone and Compost labels if not. You won't be
disappointed.

Yeah I have the K&D sessions.....what a cool album....

Have you got their DJ Kicks mix album? Thats class as well.
Its where I first heard Thievery Corp. Those series are
good. K7 also put out a series called the Freestyle Files
which have some really class stuff on. Check out Peace
Orchestra too. They have one of K & D in 'em, can't remember
which.

Have you heard the group

Thunderball

Points: 6650 Status: Lurker



Yeah. I've got a 12" by them called Pop the Trunk. It has a
Thievery Corp remix on it which is spiffing. I've seen the
lp for about a fiver. Might pick it up.

Thievery Corporation is from Washington DC, the new verve
compilation is all old verve recordings that influenced
them, they dididnt touch the music itself.

good to know.....I was not sure if the were statesman or
not....

So the "verve" album is just thier hadpicked tracks...no
mixing?

It all sounds right now....
It is still a cool album.

Kind of BLue took me a long time to get into, as did
Passion... Chiastic SLide was a pretty steady progression,
whereas with Kind of BLue and Passion, I bought it, thought
it was ok, and then didn't listen to it for months, Chiastic
Slide I liked, then liked more, then loved and so on... all
in the course of a few weeks...

Moloko's I Am Not A Doctor was one that took months of
relistens to really get a taste for but boy was it worth it.
The production on it still absolutely kicks scrote

Nah at times if I reckon there's already 10 multiples of a
thread I feel like making, I'll just bump an old one to
minimise the spam factor. It's also fun seeing the takes
people had of different artists and albums in the site's
yesteryears

Do you mean bbydhyonchord wavephace? That one always makes
me feel like I'm turning up late to a banging party, but I
already know I'm cooler than everybody else there and am
almost guaranteed to be wearing a nicer shirt than most of
the other attendees

two (2) years

They're the middleground tracks (in terms of structure, not
quality) along with Kladfvgbung Micshk, Prep Gwarlek 3B and
Beskhu3epnm that tie the whole album up into a bit more of a
package in my ears. Its still disjointed as fuck, but those
ones serve somewhere in between the 'beat' tracks and the
melodic bits

it happened with icbyd to me,
i bought it and i thought it was shit.
then two years ago i relistened it and start growing
and i learnt to love it. i couldnt believe how i missed the
beauty of it. alberto balsalm was just best thing id ever
heard...

it was my first electronic album ever.

then i start buying all afx albums, the ae's and other, with
similar growing effect.

it was nice when you bought an album and it was all weird
and new and you have to learn its sound to appreciate it. it
was like discovering a little magic secret treasure. like
knowing a girl and slowly knowing her and falling in love
:)

its being longtime without experiencing similar feel with an
album. the closest thing to it was with last four tet album,
and with the moderat one.
