Don't remember this thread---great to see the love on here for The Cherry Thing as well as Raw Like Sushi. Saw collection of TCT remixes on discogs; anybody heard those?I liked The Blank Project Deluxe, which does incl. mixes, though it's overall chilly (in the creepy Ballardian sense, incl. murky allusions verbal and aural) *and* tending to fairly lengthy tracks in medium tempo, that I've never really warmed up to it---overall, but for instance opener "Across The Water," which might be about her kid, got me right away.
I've still got Rip Rig & Panic's I Am Cold and Attitude somewhere---need to dig those up and get more RRP and related:https://www.discogs.com/artist/27501-Rip-Rig-Panic

You can certainly hear 3D's input. Track would have fitted right in on Mezzanine.

album rules. way more actively pretty than blank project which i'm into
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 15:05 (five years ago) link
I've got something longer going up soon but I gotta say it disappointed me compared to Blank Project, which now sounds like it didn't just presage this cultural moment but is OF this moment.

I agree with Alfred here. Blank seems more urgent to me and just generally better. I like the new one, just not as much.

"Natural Skin Deep"? That's one of the good ones. I blasted it this morning.
― You like queer? I like queer. Still like queer. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 16:48 (five years ago) link
I like this a lot. Agree about the urgency, it feels altogether more worked over / less spontaneous than Blank Project, but in a way that the instruments (vibraphone!) require. The albums feel like opposites in many ways, or maybe complementary. I feel like something interesting would happen if you played them simultaneously.
― geoffreyess, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 22:45 (five years ago) link
It's quieter than Blank Project (and Brad is right about it being "actively pretty") - I was expecting from the pre-release leak tracks an artier version of Homebrew whereas it's more like an artier version of Man: perhaps that album if more of the Tricky collaborations and less of the MOR-gestures had made it on there. It's very dense and layered and involving.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 22:54 (five years ago) link
Not enough chatter about this LP. OK, literally everyone good has put out something in the last 2 weeks. Even so.
― Jeff W, Monday, 29 October 2018 21:11 (five years ago) link
"Slow Release" is, accidentally or not, a good summation of the whole.

on first listen: completely superfluous but my goodwill toward robyn means it's at least not offensive? no idea why she thought slowing it down was a good idea. somehow this is the first time I realized the line was "no style rookie".

― celebrating ten years of constant posting (breastcrawl), Thursday, 3 March 2022 19:17 (two years ago) link
The only way slowing it down makes sense would be if it was slowed waaaaaaaaay down, like 4 times as slow and turning it into a drone poem

well, i'm listening to the original now. which probably wouldn't have happened today otherwise.

Was excited about the prospect of a new Neneh Cherry album, but I doubt I need this. The Robyn cover, as noted upthread, was meh.
