really nothing that I haven't heard before




album's 11 years old though. i know that in and of itself doesn't mean anything, but it sounds so much more free form than his later stuff that i simply adore it.



i get why someone would like 'dial m' more, but this as a 2.5 makes just no sense to me

Has nothing to do with stuff that's come out since, even stuff prior to this. This is much more big beat influenced than his more trip hop stuff, and as such I can't help but compare this to Funki Porcini, Skalpel and Xploding Plastix as well

I need to listen to M again, cause I listened to it once and didn't like it nearly as much as Black Sands or this

i heard a bit of xploding plastix before and this has a completely different aesthetic to me. the way it floats around without being confined to any kind of beat is what allows it to slowly play around with my head. mmm suuch a good album

This thing is completely confined though, he limits himself by restricting everything he hopes to accomplish within those beats

i don't hear confined at all here sorry. he's certainly not about to explode on listeners with a drop or anything, but that's not the point. the fact that it's a bit more stripped down makes it so easy on the ears it soothing. when's the last time you heard this anyhow?

i dunno - most everything you've said in this thread has confused me so i was drawing at straws. i think we just have to agree to disagree here

the word confined in reference to this thing still confuses the fuck out of me but to each his own i s'pose. now to convince the entire sputnik userbase to listen to this and dial m and figure out who's right ..
