I don't want to be too cheeky here... if you think this is great... ISAM will blow your brains to smithereens. It's been the epitome of electronica for me.

Isam is my least favorite of his haha, but it's still very good. I love that apple crunch sample.

It's right with it, but in a different way. ISAM is where AT really shows his maneuverability and mastery with sound. This is more atmospheric.

this is so much more refined than ISAM, true that album was a pretty huge landmark in terms of sound design but this is focus and honed, much more masterful. ISAM sounds like he broke new ground, this sounds like he spent the last eight years conquering that ground and sculpting it into form.

Each their own. Where do you lay his best then?

the ideas and the new well of potential of ISAM has always been much more exciting than the album itself.

I can agree. But there's not that excitement of new discovery with this like his previous. He embodied Columbus on ISAM. He made a home with Fear.

Call me basic but Supermodified is my favorite, followed by Bricolage and Permutation tied for second. His soundtracks are underrated too, Infamous and especially Chaos Theory are excellent.

in the end all things considered this makes a more engaging sound sculpture for me. ISAM was fascinating and intriguing but it also dragged at times, was overlong, and was frustratingly anti-climactic all too often. it so often teased that it was going to let loose in various songs and never really would. this is kind of like that too but it doesn't build as much steam just to let it dissipate. the near complete lack of traditional percussion sets your expectations differently. its contemplative and mesmerising where ISAM was this mystifying techno-organic behemoth that limped as much as it roared

It's been a decade now, and I still haven't found anything as adventurous. If you know of something, let me know.

Probably also Faith In Strangers by Andy Stott

Ruinism by Lapalux

Nothing Is Still by Leon Vynehall

those come to mind

Bruh, one of my favorites. I have the artwork on canvas in my hallway. But it still doesn't hit ISAM levels for me. Something about it. Could just be me.
