Strange that one of the most hyped Warp-releases of the year have not been discussed yet. So what do you think? Personally, I think the album is an OK+ Three to four good tracks, but after 40 mins I usually get a bit tired of the Jackson-sound. |

i quite like it, there's some really accessible music on the album. not the best release of the year by far, but still pretty damn good. |
||||||||
|

I WILL get it on LP. |

in 2023 people will say it's a "classic warp release". it's one of my 2005 favs. the album just flows for me. good job monsieur jacksssonn. hey, i've seen this thread already ??? dejavu. |

tv dogs is great |

I can see how you'd come to that conclusion. basically he does a couple of neat cut-up tricks and spices up his music with it and all though that works very well and is enjoyable, it does start to get on my nerves after a couple of tracks. so I would say I like the album, but not really as an album. |

word. especially the mad . and "oh boy" and "radio caca" and.... |

This release really reminds me of all the 80's stuff that used short, stab-like samples played on big ol' Fairlights. You know, like Art of Noise, Scritti Politti, etc. |
||||||||
|
|

I will keep my opinion until see him on the stage in live.. very few artist are as same good on stage as they are in their albums.. Jamie Lidell is a very good example of what u make in a studio sound good but in live sound better..and for me,thats the key..u get me? |

just listening now reminds me of mouse on mars crossed with a dash of chris clark. hearing a few piano sounds.. seems to be something popping up recently since chris clark and aphex got that little ball rolling again anyway... i like it.. very groovy |

Very good album. I quite like this jackson and his computer band. Its pretty much every kind of music thrown into a lump. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've really developed a passional HATE for the name "..And His Computer Band", but the music in that case makes up for it big time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This really, really reminds me of Art of Noise or Yello or something. Like an updated version of that sort of sound. Using lots of little stab samples rather than big long loops. |

Finally i saw him in live,last thursday@social _London..puff..what can i say..the album sound really good but in live is so bouring..the "Live" software looped in 2hours track and a 9lines U-Control 33 for manipulate them..and making no sense in his way mixing and selecting his own stuff..but he look cool ..i love it..with these ramone's style hair-tinny mostauche and a very pink shirt was looking cool..by the way..Tiga was around having a drink and i dont think that he liked what he saw-heard there. |

Giginger played a track on "The Cut" last night and it reminded me of bit meddler crossed with girl talk and the color silver. I liked it. |

In a hopelessly shit year for music, this album was a rare treat. A little bit of fun and sexyness injected into teh IDMZ. |
||||||||
|
|

humm.. |

this is pretty huge. |

It's a top fucking album. I love it. One of my best buys of the year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as cheesy as it sounds, jackson put the 'dance' back in idm. which is a great thing, finally music people will allow me to play at parties :P |

I love this album. My family do not. |

Utopia is cracking, I'm getting this on the weekend. |

Arpeggio is a brilliant track (mix it with windowlicker for mashup goodness) His tracks work on mix tapes etc but again i agree the album as a whole is pretty shit. He doesn't do anything new other than using more of the frequencies than other WARP artists so its louder and more impressive at first hearing. 3-4 top tracks rest i can live without. |
||||||||

will warp still exist in 2023? ... anyway i still haven't got it but i will. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck Warp, let's celebrate interesting music ! ;] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jesus fucking christ, i publicly admit i'm addicted to this album. i'm playing "arpeggio" for a 100th time, at quite high volume ....and i'm trying to understand why and how this is happening to me. any psycho-logists here to explain ? "oh boy" now.......oh noes.......amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shut up. i'm listening...it's still great and unique. anyone else waiting for his next album ? he promised 4 amazing albums, didn't he ? : "I want to make at least four totally amazing albums," Jackson says, "and if I can build myself a harem in Berlin, I will be a happy man! i hope he's working on Amazing Album #2 right now, are you too ? if he's built the harem, we can expect some extremely sexy album any time soon ! |

i do like this release, but ive grown tired of it. |

|

"Personally, I think the album is an OK+ Three to four good tracks, but after 40 mins I usually get a bit tired of the Jackson-sound." > same here... it's not *bad*, but quite average/mediocre overall. rather deceiving and not worth it when there's so much great music available. : | |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
personally i think it's boring. how is this supposed to be listened to? keeps breaking and it's really annoying.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i lied half my post up there, i haven't listened to this album at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
arpeggio is only all right, and it's the best track on the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm waiting for his next album ( i heard his working on one ). anyone else ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it will become a warp classic, i love how he has pure fun with the music, slicing up and dicing up noises, making simple and much used beats seem fresh and new. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's the thing. i'm not sure if he really worked 4 years on the album, but the joy of fucking with sounds definitely IS there . i'm holding to his word, let him release even only 2 amazing albums and then disappear without shame. |
||||||||

Released: 19 Sep 2005 late happy birthday come on Jacqueson, it's time for Smash#2 |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
He's working on a Mark Bell schedule. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Smash#2" might sound kind of offensive, though. I just meant another full album, pardon monsieur |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it a lot . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Best Warp release for ages. And I like it much better than a lot of the newer stuff. All of the newer stuff in fact. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, the three tracks I listened to ('Oh Boy', 'Arpeggio', 'Utopia') were okay. I think it is kinda mediocre, though. Not much replay value. |
