noise glitch electroacoustic radar is tingling



hecker in plain ambient-mode is more a competent-good benchmark than anything particularly essential for me so far, but Harmony is up next so we'll see how that changes. fav so far is easily Radio Amor, for reasons that this one seems to sit well against



but also i'm going in blind so that's a sketchy hypothesis

I’ve said this before but once my ex girlfriend’s roommate put on “Prism” at a party and it was so cool a thing to do that everything spiraled out of control. Not really but she did do that. Power move try it out

I’m definitely excited to get to this one as well though I think I prefer more plain ambient-mode Hecker (I like Ravedeath and Haunt Me the most out of what I’ve heard, more so than Konoyo/Anoyo).

This is probably the Hecker I've had the rockiest ride with- half my listens have been utterly enchanting while the other half have been plagued by questions of how much it really honestly benefits from all the ~challenging~ and ~cerebral~ avant-gardity at play (not helped by diminishing returns from similar-ish stuff on konoyo and ESPECIALLY anoyo)



First three are all great in their own ways but harmony is where the training wheels come off fs

This album has a sort of mystical quality to it I haven’t found in other of his works. I love Hecker but this is straight arresting.

I love Hecker btw. Unpopular opinion, but I think this is his worst album.

last three tracks and the two Virginals are the money

gonna need some more time with the rest of it hmmm, not quite feeling the same level as Amor or Ravedeath yet, but it's probably a nudge above the Haunt Me/Harmony baseline and has more going on

feel that this frequently sounds a little too clean for its own good, doesn't have as raw an edge as I was hoping

It’s clean but do you like it musically?
