bad track
why are ppl still referring to sophie as 'her'? i thought it was established years ago that sophie is a guy?

She uses female pronouns.
I think it's a pretty great track.

I love most of this but Ponyboy, Faceshopping and Whole New World (Pretend World is good though) don't really do much for me
so much better than Product which was such a disappointment - she had so many good unreleased tracks she'd played live and in mixes but none of them made it onto that

Not for me either. Ponyboy is way too maximal in reflection ]>which yeah I know that’s pc music. But don’t ride with maximal shit much now
― sunburst N snowblind (Ross), Sunday, 17 June 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link
as far as the 'heavier' tracks go i love the sound design on them but grooves they settle into don't do much for me? maybe I'd like them more with less of the vocals on Faceshopping and Ponyboy?
Immaterial is my favourite thing she's done since Bipp and the whole sequence from Is It Cold In The Water? to it is fantastic.

the black dresses album is the one rly, it's unbelievable. i liked it plenty at first but tt got me to hear it again and it's just kind of amazing

Fans of industrial pop check out Cecilia’s record. Zero traction here
― sunburst N snowblind (Ross), Monday, 18 June 2018 18:25 (five years ago) link
I basically agree with ufo here, those two tracks outstay their welcome a bit, the rest of the album is really great though and I say that as a PC Music non-fan (this is the first thing I've liked by SOPHIE since 'Nothing More to Say').

OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES is everything i've ever wanted from an electronic record, personally. it feels utilitarian, purposeful but maintains fun and danceable. it's SOPHIE's eyes of the world; sonically it's genderfluid, dysphoric, but encapsulates more -- transhumanism, intrapersonal technology and sexuality... and it remains succinct throughout, never self-indulgent... SOPHIE is the pop star we needed!

love how Infatuation takes the vocals from Is It Cold in the Water and backwards masks them into infinity - beautiful pair of songs, the latter builds and never really takes off and the former drops in beats but still feels like it never really drops - a master class in ratcheting up tension
― Ross, Thursday, 23 August 2018 16:46 (five years ago) link
Her show tonight in Vancouver was awesome (albeit way too short). She was playing this ambient track, then all of a sudden it turned into Ponyboy and the crowd just lost their shit over it. An audience member in a unicorn costume came out of nowhere too, which i figured was pretty fitting for the track

doesn't seem like the oil remix album has been mentioned so. more like a techno mix + ambient stretch, mb worth checking out even if (like me) you weren't hot on the original album

It's not what I expected. Autechre have actually made the record sound less strange and maybe more commercial. No shade to the orginal or this (both are excellent) but I don't think I've ever heard AE approach a remix like this.
