BLUEOmni: New Olafur Arnalds Album Out!

EyeForAnEye 02.23.12	Shit, gotta go listen to this.
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	It's amazing so far. Can definitely tell these are low audio quality, though. Makes the wait for release date (which is tomorrow) that much more exciting (to get the 320 rips).
Crysis 02.23.12	oshit gotta hear this
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	Dude, Riff, you're missing out. This is unbelievably good.
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	His music isn't difficult, or complex, but it's beautiful. Take it from someone who's played piano all their life; Olafur is a genius. A beautiful genius.
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	If there are other artists who sound like this guy, please do recommend. I love this guy's music, so if there's more like him, I'd like to hear, and potentially become a fan :)
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	So give me some examples of neo-classical/minimalist artists who came before him and sound much like he does now.
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	Everything must change is one of the most epic songs Olafur's made. Also, part of what makes this album so remarkable is that IT WAS WRITTEN IN 14 DAYS! God, I can't even imagine the scale at which his new album's going to be at, considering he's spent a good amount of time on it compared to his other albums.
Xenophanes 02.23.12	"dude is pretty generic modern classical" As much as I enjoy his music there is a kernel of truth to this. He doesn't do anything crazy to step out of the bounds of "pretty music with keys and strings," but I personally love most of it. Really well produced and put together most of the time.
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	Well, I agreed to it not being difficult or complex music. A lot of the notes used have a generic taste, if you want to call it that. It's the finished product that makes him stand out, though. He may use a simple foundation, but after everything's been wrapped up, his songs becomes unique and fascinating.
Xenophanes 02.23.12	I like that he used to be the drummer for a hardcore band
Aids 02.23.12	"I like that he used to be the drummer for a hardcore band" really? awesome. I've had a hard time tracking his stuff down but I'd love to give it a listen. one day. (cbf streaming right now)
StrangerofSorts 02.23.12	Yeh, I like it. It's good.
TheSpirit 02.23.12	didn't this guy JUST come out with something a few months ago
BLUEOmni 02.23.12	Yeah, and he's coming out with something later this year.
StrangerofSorts 02.23.12	Everything Must Change is gurd.
CaptainDooRight 02.23.12	listened to it all already, good album, a 4
Hopeland 02.23.12	I've loved anything I've ever heard by Olafur, I'm assuming this won't let me down.
Hopeland 02.23.12	hmmm some of the songs sound like ones he's already released. Lynn's theme is a shortened version of Film Credits from Living Room Songs.
