I get that, it's very "nice" music but you gotta listen to it. otherwise (much like other "bold italic OUT music I think my parents would like") it can be irritating

I love that Dawn Of Midi album; it is similar but only similar; they're trying to sound like machines much more than The Necks do.
The Nisennenmondai album from last year, N, is also kidn of similar, but perhaps more drone-based; 3 tracks, 45-minutes, essentially the same thing repeatrepeatrepeating.
Mindset is the one I've enjoyed least. Chemist is a favourite of mine, but Drive By, Open, and Aether are my favourites. Not heard Sex or Piano Bass Drums in years; not heard the live box.

Did not dig that Nisennenmondai album at all, so if Dawn of Midi is anything like that, I probably won't enjoy it. I'll report back.

DoM is dots and N is lines.
Thought I'd share a Polish group whose new album reminds me of the mantric appeal of the Necks. Guitar/bass/drums, but its like a Necks soundtrack to a post apocalyptic Western.
