“This site staying allergic to ambient, no surprise”

Ambient is so great when it’s great, hot damn. Ricky Eat Acid albums are still some of my favorites

“This site staying allergic to ambient, no surprise”

Look, I’d defend my “Chad ambient enjoyer” credentials, but it’d be hopeless in the face of such withering criticism.



I might also add that a lot of the promo round this release focused on the spiritual jazz angle, and I feel like this work needs to be evaluated within that tradition as well if the intent was to produce something that sits within it, instead of treating it solely as ambient.

Exactly which is why you should listen to that one instead. If it sounded like this then there would be no need to listen to it instead. Think

Tbh I’d say Promises is a better touchstone for what Andre could’ve accomplished here sonically.

I actually like Promises. If so then he failed miserably

lol the Steve Roach comparison makes zero sense, he’s worked on hundreds of projects and never made anything like this

it's clear exactly what you meant in that comment

doesn't make it any less of a braindead conflation of two totally different appeals and aesthetics

or "hurrr but steve roach better so jam him" any more of an infantile defence
