Reset & Person Pitch are the only AnCo solo records I have. In addition to Tomboy which I just ordered. What are the other good ones? Just checked on RYM and nothing Avey's done scores well but these are the folks who saddled Painting With with a 2.7 so idk how much I trust them

I dislike most Avey solo but REALLY REALLY like Eucalyptus!

Yeah, Eucalyptus is really good.

The two tracks from this forthcoming album make me dangerously happy but also absurdly nervous, because, you guys … THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED from this band right now.

Also do not sleep on the Deakin record
I don’t love a lot of Panda Bear albums front to back but if he ever does a best of, it’s gonna be a home run.

ooh yeah, forgot about the Deakin record, I've heard good things

The first three tracks on “down there” are phenomenal too, I rank Laughing Hieroglyphics as one of his best tracks, including anco material. And yeah, eucalyptus is an amazing album, though I can never get past the first LP because it’s such a cohesive package to me already. Really need to give the second part a fair chance.

the new one is the best they've ever sounded, really lovely production (courtesy of russell elevado, notable for engineering/mixing a whole lot of neo-soul albums including voodoo & black messiah)
some of the songs are quite nice as well but i haven't really wrapped my head around all of them yet
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 06:07 (eight months ago) link
i said the same thing about the last album's production but this one's even better in that regard
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 06:11 (eight months ago) link
i think it's just the last two tracks i don't really care for
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 06:31 (eight months ago) link
wow, release date is Sept 29, did this leak already?
― out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 13:49 (eight months ago) link
yeah RYM already going bonkers over it
i'll be good and wait though

I did not expect myself to be this excited about AnCo in 2023, but I really am.
I did laugh at the digital bonus track, a "radio edit" of "Soul Capturer" that shaves it alllll the way down to 5:44 from 6:08. I'm sure those 22 seconds were exactly what kept that from blowing up on the IHeartMedia empire.

sorry my bad, "single version" not "radio edit", but still
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 16:42 (eight months ago) link
well hold on, it could be a different cut or a different mix. I know in electronica it's not uncommon for a single version to have different elements than the album version, can def see AnCo doing something like that
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 17:04 (eight months ago) link
ha, that's true, i just thought it was funny to see the timings
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 17:08 (eight months ago) link
it just cuts off ~20 seconds of ambience from the start of the track lol
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 21:50 (eight months ago) link
lol, top of the pops here we come!
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 21:55 (eight months ago) link
I heard it on WFMU this morning!
― mizzell, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 22:48 (eight months ago) link
If you're gonna have a hit you gotta make it fitSo they cut it down to 5:44
― Vinnie, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 23:48 (eight months ago) link
hahah ok then
