A great mini-album--parts of this remind me of what I liked about Carl Craig's "Relevee" remix for Delia & Gavin...

I just got Ringer yesterday and it was pleasantly different from earlier Four Tet stuff. A lot more overtly dancey--I think that 4/4 bass beat is in three out of the four songs. Also, each song has a distinct personality from the others--not something I could say about Everything Ecstatic (though I do like that record).
After it was over, Rounds came on (alpha order and all). I usually listen to all my Four Tet stuff in a big random mix. I completely forgot just how solid Rounds is from beginning to end.

Has anyone heard those Keiren Hebden/Steve Reid albums? Any thoughts? Is one better than the other?

I've been listening to the Born Ruffians remix thingy he did non stop for the last few days and I looked up the original on youtube and its amazing how good this is in light of how rubbish the source material is.

Never realised before that this *isn't* the released version of Unspoken:

Same here- had the promo so only found out years later!
I like this version with the winter sample better.

Well this sucks
I’m so upset to see that @Dominorecordco have removed the 3 albums of mine they own from digital and streaming services. This is heartbreaking to me. People are reaching out asking why they can’t stream the music and I’m sad to have to say that it’s out of my control.— Four Tet (@FourTet) November 21, 2021

i suspect this is just the beginning of such issues re artists, labels, and the big streaming corps.hence i will never opt for the 100% streaming option.

i was just thinking about kieran hebden the other day. i've always been a touch-and-go fan, loved morning evening at the time. i haven't heard much else besides the dj tools he's done over the past 10 years. what is something to check out that's him at his best?

Rounds (Kieran’s version) when?

Beautiful Rewind is my pick of the last decade for Four Tet. Pink is good too, as is Sixteen Oceans. Really enjoyed his lockdown DJ set too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXQi77eOdEY

and a new spectacular track with burial
― corrs unplugged, Friday, 11 February 2022 08:14 (two years ago) link
Not a new track! It’s from 2009, this is the first time it’s available officially on digital though.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 11 February 2022 13:40 (two years ago) link
“Moth” might just be a top 10 track of the 00’s for me. It has aged surprisingly well, and it’s a highlight career for both of them.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 11 February 2022 13:42 (two years ago) link
Career highlight*
Did not realize - thanks for the infogreat song indeed

Update!
I have a bodacious update on my case with @Dominorecordco. They have recognised my original claim, that I should be paid a 50% royalty on streaming and downloads, and that they should be treated as a license rather than the same as a CD or vinyl sale.(1/8)— Four Tet (@FourTet) June 20, 2022

real happy for him
rare that an artist with something to lose goes up against a "good" company
