A thread meant for positive discussion of a this record.
I personally think, so far, two listens in, this is the ultimate follow up to SILY.
What's your favorite track?
Mine's Sunshine so far, because of the weird whirl of repetition with the vocals and the beat. I'm not sure how they achieve that effect.
They sound more refined, less chaotic, though even more detailed. There's a load of soul samples in here. Segments remind me of Donuts.
How did they make Kaleidoscope Lovers?
It sounds like looking through a kaleidoscope.

what's with all the Morrissey threads lately
>>66078738
Don't know he hasn't really done anything recently and is still in hiding before starting his next tour.
Didn't he ban several users from the Morrissey Solo forums from ever coming to his concerts.
Ctrl+f for a tile (i.e. A2), if it's free, claim it and recreate in paint/gimp/etc and post it back here. Each tile is 250x250.
I'll collage it together once all 16 are finished.

If you missed last week's thread, DON'T WORRY. It's not too late. Here are the links for the mystery tracklist. Download the tracks, record your thoughts/guesses/evaluations for each one, and then come back and post them in the thread. Remember, people will be posting guesses and thoughts in this thread so don't read the thread until you have listened to the music and collected your thoughts in order to avoid spoilers. Track info for this week's tracks will be posted on Saturday, so if you see the thread is close to dying before then, give it a bump.

Posting with names or tripcodes is encouraged as it makes discussion much easier.
1. This was really cool. I like how the rest of the band stays in that ominous groove that they do while the sax player is free to explore above it all. I highly doubt this is Coltrane but honestly I don’t really know that many other soprano players. Plus it sounds more modern than anything Coltrane did. 4 stars.
2. I think this is a standard. I recognize it but I’ve never heard a version like this before. I like it though. The piano player moves through a lot of different feels. At first it was sounding like Art Tatum but then sometimes it sounds like Bill Evans but with a modern group. More electronic influenced. If this was a standard then it was a nice modern update. If it was an original it was pretty nice too but then not as impressive. 3.5 stars.
3. I’m guessing this is Eric Dolphy on bass clarinet so that must have been Coltrane on sax earlier. Now that I know it’s Coltrane I recognize it as a ballad I’ve heard before but the bass clarinet really takes over and gives it a new feel. The piano solo was good too and I like the way the bass and drums start to become more active at the right times. This was good. 4 stars.
>>66078444
4. This sounds kind of like hard bop but it also reminds me of just bebop sometimes. It reminds me a little bit of Art Blakey and since there’s sax, trumpet, and trombone I think I’ll guess that it’s some later recording by the Jazz Messengers. I especially enjoyed the trumpet solo. It was bluesy but there was a lot more to it then that. The piano solo sounded a little bit Monkish though. I know Art Blakey recorded an album with Monk. 3.5 stars.
5. I feel pretty confident in identifying this as Bill Evans. There was a track a few weeks ago that was a lot like this with the bass playing the melody. This sounds pretty typical of most of the Bill Evans stuff I’ve heard with lots of back and forth between piano and bass while the drums hang out in the background. It’s pretty good for one where the bass takes the role of the lead instrument. 3.5 stars.
6. This sounds like dub step played with saxophones. It must be some kind of cover but it sounds like they’re staying pretty close to whatever the original is instead of doing their own thing with it. I wonder if these are well known sax players but I’ve never heard anything else like this. 3 stars because it seems like a cool idea but I think they could have done something more original with it.
>>66078471
7. Very chill feeling. I like the combination of the sax tone with the lazy playing of the guitar in the background. It started out pretty good and I was enjoying it but I got pretty bored of it by the end. 2 stars.
8. Some heavy sounding spiritual free jazz. It sounds like there’s some Eastern influence going on here almost the way Coltrane would do it. The sax never really lived up to what I expected though. I kept waiting for him to go crazy but mostly it was the piano player who did the best. The drummer kept up an intense energy level too but the sax player didn’t seem to want to do it. 2.5 stars.
9. This sounds like it might be the same tune from track 5 so it’s probably a standard. From the slightly messy tone of the trumpet I’m going to guess this is Miles Davis. It’s most likely his second quintet in a live recording. I’ve only heard some of their studio albums but it sounds like it’s them. I really like the way the mood keeps changing. The drummer, probably Tony Williams, is in charge of it all and it’s like the rest of the band can sense what he’s going to do. Even though this was the longest track the time flew by while I was listening to it. 4 stars.
10. It sounds like the three of them can’t really get on the same page here. They’re all doing cool stuff and it seems like it should work but they just never really fall in together to where it really sounds great. Maybe this is three well known players who decided to record together but then it didn’t really work as well as you’d expect it to. That’s what it makes me think of. 2 stars.
We can all agree that San Diego is the best song right?
Thought Los Angeles was better, but the whole album is huge disappointment.
No, Ars Moriendi is

How so?

Is this better than any of the 2000's hip hop albums?
MBDTF, Yeezus and Butterfly will be remembered as the most important of our era.
if charts and pop sales are important to you I guess throw a Drake release or something from Minaj in too.
Several of them, yes.

Did they actually fucking write that? That sounds so shit how would they even get that job
Do you think learning music theory is beneficial, or does it honestly just limit creativity? pic-unrelated
>>66074865
It depends on the individual. I have friends who studied music in college and it seems many of them now enjoy musical concepts more than the music itself. They listen to music differently, and while composing they can't just jam and see what happens, they are stuck on theory. I think having an understanding of it can open a lot of doors creatively, as long as you don't lose touch of actually feeling music.
>>66074865
Sometimes you must learn the rules to break them, though reaching a creative peak takes trial and error. While starting you're gonna have a harder time learning the basics and skipping said basics may lead to some bad habits. Remaining naive will allow you to think more free-er thus putting no limits on your creativity giving you a higher risk/reward.
This is your choice.

Why did you delete your bandcamp? Wanted to hear what Bizzaro Pop sounds like :(

This is great stuff, perfect for listening in bed. It feels very dissociative and does evoke a nice dark atmosphere ... i especially like the cover art for SR-01. Are you gonna release more music ? You should
>>66062516
This is excellent. Melancholy and dreamy at times but also really solid composed guitar based songs. I dont have much criticism, i dont think these recordings need additional work, they all fit together quite well

>bits of spoken word because can't sing
the new single, Angakok, is an example of the other style that's also present in the album, which is a more guitar oriented type of ambient music.
by the way, the version of TPWTKW/Rain Serenade on this album fixed the issues of the last one
