Do you jam much electronic or ambient stuff, Mongi?

Well nothing purely electronic. Well Kid A but idk if that would count. Other than that not really.

It's pleasant music(BOC), but I guess I just don't see what the big deal is.

Fair enough, was just curious. Makes more sense as to why you can't get into BoC now.

they didn't do much for me at first, and honestly i don't find them to be the best thing ever like some other folks, but i think they are consistent as hell. i think i have all their albums at a 4

I listen to a fair bit of electronica like Floex, Venetian Snares, Oneohtrix and Aphex Twin, but I can't seem to get into BOC regardless of amounts of listens. It's pretty respectable stuff though

I liked Music Has a Right to Children. It's cool studying music, just can't quite picture myself listening to it religiously. Maybe in time I'll grow to like them more.

i work 40 hours a week, most of them in an office, so i listen to a lot of electronic/ambient type stuff while i'm working. BoC are excellent in that capacity. don't listen to them much in my free time though

Ahh that's how I feel about Flying Lotus. Perfect car music though

I don't think I'd appreciate ambient as much if I listened to it at work (in the office), just doesn't seem like the right setting somehow.

i listen to all kinds of music in the office (for instance i'm listening to fleet foxes right now), but i probably listen to ambient (eluvium, stars of the lid, biosphere) more often than other genres

Not sure how something like Russia on Ice could be considered adult contemporary though



I was gonna say, that's the only song that jumped out at me.



This isnt that different from the stuff that came after except without the metal really. If this is

"adult contemporary" then I dont see how adding more distortion all of a sudden makes it not. The

songwriting is pretty much the same




The songs are far more straight forward and too damn monotone.



I will admit, maybe I stirred the pot with a little too much drama but I was introduced to PT with In Absentia and that seems to be the album where Wilson decided to use a much more heavy tone. The jarring contrast between hard/ soft is done so well on latter albums that when I listen to this, it just kind of floats along and it's like I await for a heavier moment to appear and then nothing. It's definitely mostly adult contemporary and I will stand by that statement.



Glad to see everyone's weighing in my comment too. Probably going to check out everything at this point, lots of differing opinions.

I def like this more than all that came after, but a couple tracks gave me issues. Don't remember exactly which they were, but Shesmovedon in particular irritated me.

His lyrics have always irritated me. If Wilson hired someone else to write the lyrics, I would probably 5 In Absentia.
