Album of the week

If you aren't voting for Vuce, don't even bother showing up...🙂

Nah, that list just doesn't hit for me—I'm more about Azealia Banks, Primal Scream, Aphex Twin, Arctic Monkeys, and Mudvayne. But honestly, Moon Pix is my absolute favorite.

Ha! Just caught a glitch during a 16/44.1 playback CRCLNT14[152.97](pzlmnscnc mx). Hopefully there are more. Glitches. Sounds like some obscure Russian surname.

Aphex Twin track titles are basically the absolute peak of human achievement when it comes to uselessly overthinking things—like, the guy definitely vibes more with a cold Budweiser than anything Heidegger ever wrote.

If it's West Slavic, how can it be Russian?

Why isn't Aphex Twin cool enough for you, Fass?

Is that somehow Western Slavic, yet Russian?

There’s actually a much more practical reason for naming things like that. It’s usually just how things start out—working titles that stick because nobody feels like overthinking the final name, or they just decide it doesn't really matter.

Plus, it sounds cool, at least in certain circles. I used to do the same thing back when I was producing more actively. Then life happens—career, wife, kid—but I don't mind. My little one even loves it when those little lights flash here and there. 😁

Syro is heavy on glitch hop, so you're bound to find more influences like that. His wife is Russian, so maybe that's where it comes from, or maybe it's just inspired by some gear or track he was listening to at the time. Who knows.

Man, I was really banking on my suggestion taking the win when they were sitting just one point shy. Of course, I could’ve just thrown him a vote myself, but I didn't want anyone thinking the whole thing was rigged. 🙂

I think I actually went and screwed everything up—I honestly can’t believe it 🤣

Those late-night hours just get the better of you, and I clearly let them win 😵

edit: wait, scratch that, looks like I didn't actually mess it all up after all 🎉

Way to go, quietbison86 👍

Finally, napokon screamadelica 🙏

Anyone actually run any tests yet? ☕

redbear12 said:Have you guys actually tried any experiments? ☕

I've only ever experimented on myself while listening to Vuca. ☕

Your titles actually make sense. On the other hand—Kladfvgbung Micshk? Look, I get that a title (supposedly) doesn't matter, but you should probably pick something a person other than Timmy from South Park can actually read. Would anyone call Sgt. Pepper's best album ever if it was titled Sgt. Pepper's Stinky Asshole?

Mark Cruz15 said:Just talking about myself here, since I'm the one listening to Vuca. ☕

That doesn't even meet basic scientific standards. You need an actual sample group before you start throwing data around. ☕

EDIT: Seriously though, did listening to Vuca actually fix any of your deep-seated issues or what? 🙂

So, you got anything to share, Gerald Jackson48—any new tracks or whatever? I'm actually pretty curious.

Different era, different kids.

Dennis Hall41 said:So, Gerald Jackson48, got any work to share? I'm genuinely curious.

I've got some half-baked stuff—short loops and early ideas. I really need to export them to an mp3 or something similar. I might even have an old profile on SoundCloud somewhere I need to track down. I'll share once I actually polish something up.

Some nasty bug has me totally sidelined right now—so I'm gonna hold off on dropping Screamadelica until I'm actually back on my feet 😢

I'm wishing you a super speedy recovery! In the meantime, we'll be hanging out with Screamadelica. I still remember those Primal Scream music videos from back in the 90s. I'm definitely going to dive into the whole album and read your review once you're feeling back to your old self.

So there it is. Two albums from the same year pulled straight from the archives, which leaves me wondering: are we looking at contemporary classical music or just some percussive madness?

Arthur Brown6 said:So what. Two albums from the same year sitting in the archives—now the real question is: are we talking modern classics here, or just some percussive madness?

Man, just suggest something normal for once—maybe REO Speedwagon or Tears for Fears—before you get a headache from all this abstract nonsense.

23 Skidoo - urban Gamelan (1984)

urban Gamelan

The Turnbull brothers and their crew blended funk, dub, and a heavy dose of raw percussion—then tossed the whole thing over an open flame to serve up this revitalizing forty-minute feast.
