none of those albums I'd classify as rock tbh
Hmm. Anyway, is anyone here to defend the Ferraro album?

I just listened to that youtube. So, no.

please post another album so I can stop listening to this fucking horrible James Ferraro album, which comes across like the Lambda Lambda Lambda band from Revenge of the Nerds releasing a sellout album

hadn't heard of 'No Poll'checkin it on youtube.... it's awful :(

It's an electronic album that sounds like it was made almost entirely from preloaded Microsoft Windows 98 sound effects. Fair play to him for trying it, but good god it's a terrible concept.― Matt DC, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:58 (4 minutes ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

Oh I've made this album. Veronica Falls, the Fratellis and now this. Shit, so ahead of the curve in dog latin towers..

That Ferraro album sounds cool in theory, but it's pretty boring, IMO.

is this J-Pop?
― I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
that james ferraro track is nowhere near as bad as i thought it'd be - well, i kinda like the piano. but the beat is woefully thin and most of the sounds bring to mind that episode of friends with ross's toy keyboard

That James Ferraro totally sounds like KPM library music, Richard Myhill in particular.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
Perfume sounds like a twee-90s indie band.
i voted perfume

xp This is J-Pop btw. My favourite tracks:

i think triangle was a better album than JPN, both very good x
― nathey, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
otm i listened to it 2 times and really have never had the urge to listen to it again, which is strange since 'internet/digital trash' is one of my favorite aesthetics as of late
― ≧^◡^≦ (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
okay even this super-cloying saccharine overdose that is the Perfume album condensed to snippets over 2 minutes is a million times more enjoyable than that James Ferraro album

more outloud stuff
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
that Ferraro really is awful. it sounds like a demo album, and a weak one at that.
― skip, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
I thought Ferraro would be somewhere between the retro digital sounds of Ford and Lopatin and the academic avant-pop of William Brittelle, but it wasn't as fun as either.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't vote for Ferraro but enjoyed it the couple of times I played it. I found some beautiful moments in amongst the kitchiness of it, baffles me why it evokes such negative feelings. Must be a linux thing.

The highs on JPN are higher imo, not sure which I prefer overall though.

The Outloud room has been brilliant for discovering stuff this year. That is all.
― I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
There was a mid90s band from Leicester called Perfume, more like a romantic-Bunnymen than twee. I very much doubt their album has ever placed in any list of albums ever.

I'm going to take some credit for forcefeeding this to unsuspecting Outlouders.

can anyone who voted for that james ferraro album explain why they love it so much?

this sounds like Dead Can Dance so far

YES! Wasn't sure Perfume would place but it did get its own thread on Sandbox with lots of new fans so I was hopeful.
Nakata (producer) is on a scary roll here, every moment filled with melody and crackling sounds you just want to eat up.
Great videos as wellNee: http://youtu.be/W63nzvIoFJUVOICE: http://youtu.be/18grnTXq7mc

I don't think i voted for Perfume in the end. It's a solid 7/10 album with some very lovely moments but it just seems like a bit of a throwback to a 90s J-Pop sound that's a little dated for me.

Perfume sounds more like the future than a throwback, to me.

P4K: DNPP&J: DNP
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
didn't vote for it, but I thought the James Ferraro album was interesting. It was much more varied and enjoyable to listen to than one track would suggest, and it doesn't really sound like anything I have ever heard before
― Dan S, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
that james ferraro album felt kind of thin and cheap to me
― Prince Rebus (donna rouge), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
did not know there was a grouper record this year
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
oh i didn't know there was a new grouper album. had a lot of time for that "dragging a bloodied stag up an icy hill" record or whatever it's called.

don't get perfume, either. sounds utterly generic, but it's not really my genre, so what do i know. ILX taste is increasingly mysterious to me.
― his hands are a dirty fountain through which lives spurt (contenderizer), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:17 (twelve years ago) link
i totally didn't realise grouper had a new album out, i would've probably listened to it. i only have one of hers (i think because it placed in an ilm poll!) - i can't say i'm captivated by it or anything, and it pretty much all sounds the same, but it's really nice music for a certain kind of mood. is this more of the same? i imagine she's an artist who specialises in more-of-the-same (in a good way)
