oh yeah, this is way way worse - it doesn't cost anything to do this project.
i guess that's at least true, he'll pay people and it'll be a company of sorts. still a little weird though. i've seen producers selling their album and various privileges and it doesn't often come across too well - i think there's always an element of the feeling that the person won't bother doing the thing unless they get sufficient money. i don't think art should be a vocation but people with really great ideas would just do it anyway - there's a sort of middling weariness to it sometimes.

also part of making art is learning and failure.

Well exactly and the process of making a record is also learning and failure especially in electronic music so how could you even write it down in advance anyway? Even his record label is called Accidental.

I'm aware that that's what you're already saying, I'm just thinking out loud.

That's really nice! My favourite Herbert tracks are his remix of "Sing It Back" and Dj Koze's remix of Herbert's "It's Only" (with Dani Siciliano).

what is the consensus pick on herbert here
i would say scale
other than his remixes, like for roisin etc

Scale is my favorite too, but mostly people pick earlier albums as their favs
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 21:06 (five years ago) link
bodily functions seems overrated to me tbh

So Now is probably my single fav. Herbert track with Deeper being my 2nd fav, so I like Around the House a bunch, but 100lbs is probably the LP i can play through without wanting to skip tracks. I think I bought Scale but never played it. Same with Score, which I believe is the album I recorded 1 word for, but I never played that one either.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 22:09 (five years ago) link
100lbs easily but Bodily Functions is very good.

globus mix vol. 5
― the late great, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 05:22 (five years ago) link
also allow 100 lbs
destroy everything else
― the late great, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 05:23 (five years ago) link
Often hit and miss, whch is true of anyone prolific
100lbs seems obvious answer, anything rom that first run of twelves

Ezio remix is top drawer

Not much love for Herbert on ILM? Or inconsistent?I think the new album is lovely, but on 1 1/2 listens it's no Bodily Functions (which I rate higher than Around The House) and it's certainly no Goodbye Swingtime (which is an untouchable thing don't @ me).

Good to see Owen Pallett talking the good talk up there from 11 years ago, hi Owen!

I'm totally obsessed with Fantasy. Dropped it in a set over the weekend and it just lifted the vibe up a notch. One of my favorite tracks of the year.

Matthew Herbert made an album using only a horse's skeleton (and an orchestra and a computer and some other musicians)
