I really enjoyed the cassette that was released with OKNOTOK. Sounds like that was more of a curated version of what's come out, and I'm not sure I want to comb through 18 hours of that sort of thing without any context...as Thom said it's probably "not v interesting."

I'm sure I will be putting together a shrunken down version for dat ass.

For a lark I went looking for this, and the only place I could find it was on archive.org. Said "wav only" but the first link is flac so ok? Anyway I read the review and laughed at the purity of sound idiot but then had a bigger laugh at the response. What a douche canoe.

It is hard to accuratly assess whether or not this archival copy is of sufficient quality to stand the test of time, as unfortunatly much signal is lost inherently in the transformation from the electromagnetic physical spectrum expressly provided through the means of tape medium to that of digital ubiquity, but for what it's worth its pretty damn swanky. worth a listen, and if you're a fan, worth a download (if only to compare signal loss 20 years down the road between your copy and this internet what-have-you).

First cloudy and rainy day in 6 weeks. Seems about right.

Great record. Early standouts are Traffic, Dawn Chorus (yowza), I Am A Very Rude Person, Not The News, and Runawayaway. Album builds on the vibe of Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes but feels way more fleshed out.

only 3 songs in and i'm fuckin' loving this. already digging it more than Eraser and TMB.

shoutout to the kids' "yeah!" sample from "15 Step" in "Twist"

Yeah I caught that too. Some of the exact same synth patches as past works too.

I love this record. Too soon to say if I like it more than Eraser -- I love how he treated guitars on that album -- but it's a big step forward from TMB, which was cool but also sort of a claustrophobic downer. There's a lot more going on in this one.

i'm right in the middle of this, and totally agree.

getting a nice King Of Limbs / Moon Shaped Pool / Tomorrow's Modern Boxes combo platter feeling on this. a lot of the subtleties and effects from KoL, the orchestral structures from AMSP, the further blippity-bloops and deconstruction of past solo albums. it's nice.

Feels like he's sort of returning to what he discovered on Idioteque: Dance music as a bed for something much deeper and complex.

the end of "not the news" feels a lot like the end of "in limbo" to me

and that bleed into "the axe" is great
