yeah, except i would give 10/10, not 9/10
I expected Pet Sounds 2.0, I got Smile
electroswing is cringe af imo
>shoehorned features
why did they do this
is the noisy eater the avalanches' equivalent of superfast jellyfish?
>>66266503
pretty much yeah
>>66266499
Most of their material outside of Since I Left You is pretty dang hip-hop, it's kind of a fluke that they ever made a dance record at all. I think they just wanted rapping and singing, doubt it was for any reason other than how they wanted the songs to sound
>>66266503
It's Wildflower's Frontier Psychiatrist
It just reminds you of superfast jellyfish because they both feature elderly black gentlemen rapping about crunchy food.
>>66266417
I expected your got and it's what I got.
>>66266814
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>66266417
Reverse the middle and right and it's accurate.

This. I've yet to see anyone on /mu/ make comparisons between Wildflower and their stuff pre-SILY like El Producto or At Last Alone.

These could easily fit in with the rest of the tracks on Wildflower, while they'd stand out on SILY.
>>66266499
I have no idea which member(s) did the rapping/vocal stuff, but there's a good chance they either left or felt that features could do a better job.

I'm pretty sure Darren was the original rapper, and they revealed recently he's been gone for over a decade.
Also the credits for the album are out and there's a lot of original instrumentation all over Wildflower

AND TAKING MY SUNSH-

>almost nothing on Harmony is sampled
>no one noticed
huh
>>66267406
SILY had original instrumentation as well. Sample-heavy does not mean 100% samples or even majority samples, just that the samples take the front stage.

The initial promo version of SILY is 100% samples minus the Saian Supa Crew verse. All the credited instrumentation on later versions of the album is for imitations they created for samples they couldn't clear.
>>66267724
I thought the Zombo Promo still included original instrumentation. Either way, it wasn't even titled yet, so I doubt it has its own credits.
I know the LP version of SILY had a bunch of samples replaced with instrumentation.

Hard to say, really, the whole thing is kind of shrouded in myth and half the original files are corrupted by now according to a recent interview.
Still, the opera vocals on "Electricity" are original so the above statement can't be true
>>66268487
no no no, the opera vocals on "Electricity" are sampled. it's the "oh-oh-oh i can see... electricity" female vocal part that is original.
>>66268533
No, they got a local opera singer, Antoinette Halloran (who's credited on the single which was released a good year before the album), to sing the opera part. If you try to find a source for the sample you won't find it
Wildflower is good as an album and as music but it doesn't hold up as a major accomplishment in sampling like SILY does. SILY is still unmatched in density and amount of samples, and Wildflower feels positively minimalist in comparison. Then again, I think you'd have to be absolutely obsessed and nuts to be able to make SILY so I suppose it's probably just because they lost their youthful insanity
>>66268876
At least we now have something proper to compare to SILY, instead of Endtroducing.
