it seems a bit pointless just doing it from a single album so here's my pov pre-music has the right to children instead (cos i'm not really into 'twoism' a tenth as much as i am into 'boc maxima', 'hooper bay' and 'a few old tunes'):

i'd have made a thread encompassing all of em, but i've only got 'music...', 'twoism', and the last (average) one

A track I overlooked for a long, long time was Happy Cycling. I always enjoyed it well enough, but when I listened to it on halfway decent headphones for the first time, it blew me away. Especially the seagulls that come in and out of the mix for the first 5 minutes, and then FINALLY the big change into the best groove on the album.

I'm having a particularly satisfying and nostalgic weak of going back to some of favorite albums from years ago and falling in love with them all over again.

^ weak=week. I guess the other track that really stands out for me is Roygbiv. and Aquarius.

People that don’t have ROYGBIV in their top 5 in this thread are insane.

Didn't know til relatively recently that the "Aquarius" bass groove is a sample. It's so obvious ow that it must've been but I just never realized they ever even used samples that way.

I haven't seen any discussion about this, surprisingly- but the artwork makes direct references to the "isn't anything" cover that i always interpreted as a kind of mission statement. The font, the faceless people, the tinted image...
'this is going to be its own self-contained sound world', it may even be a companion piece to "isn't anything" in some sense. It sets up a comparison at the very least.

Okay, so it doesn't replicate the unclear, overexposed band portrait with missing information. It has characteristics of found photography, but manipulated in ways that feel very deliberate. The color scheme is cool instead of warm, the figures are remote instead of intimately huddled together in the foreground.

Well, all this stuff majorly influenced the way i hear the album from the first time i listened, probably before i even heard a note...

The artwork made this promise on which the album delivered.

I mean i know it's not accurate to say mhtrtc is a "self-contained" anything, it refers to all this other stuff.

This old DJ Food mix is still great, it makes good use of Aquarius.
