It's not embedding but I eventually got there with some copying and pasting. Going to have to listen to it at work, though, as my connection is not going to handle that.

Your picture of Keiran has been retweeted by him, by the way.

I don't know a ton (read: enough) about Four Tet, but this is terrific:

Video and download of a two-hour set of him playing records. And a photo of those records that someone will hopefully turn into a tracklist at some point.

Mr. Tet has put his new ludicrously named track "The Track I've Been Playing That People Keep Asking About And That Joy Used In His RA Mix And Daphni Played On Boiler Room" up for free download, possibly in response to people scalping the 12" on Discogs:

yeh, loving that. poked my head up, and now i'm going back in. echoed-out drum sample that shifts in & out behind the hand percussion is ridiculous. anyone know what it's from?

It's really something!

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Monday, 22 June 2015 14:43 (eight years ago) link

Thanks Four Tet! My decades long dream of a Villalobos remix of Ofra Haza has come to fruition.

brotherlovesdub, Monday, 22 June 2015 16:11 (eight years ago) link

Morning is glorious!

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Monday, 22 June 2015 23:35 (eight years ago) link

it's really great

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Monday, 22 June 2015 23:48 (eight years ago) link

Morning is absolutely lush. Maybe the most phenomenologically beautiful thing he's ever done.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 23 June 2015 10:06 (eight years ago) link

"Morning Side" features samples from Lata Mangeshkar's performance of "Main Teri Chhoti Behana Hoon", recorded for the 1983 film Souten.

According to wiki, anyway.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 23 June 2015 10:07 (eight years ago) link

Evening is pretty damn amazing, too. This might be my favourite thing he's done; certainly right up there based on one listen. I can see me playing this to death.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 23 June 2015 10:33 (eight years ago) link

"Morning Side" features samples from Lata Mangeshkar's performance of "Main Teri Chhoti Behana Hoon", recorded for the 1983 film Souten.

i thought i recognised the voice - not through mangeshkar's work but she was sampled on truth hurts' "addictive" too

this is not as good as "addictive" despite the sample which is the best thing about it

lex pretend, Tuesday, 23 June 2015 11:45 (eight years ago) link

i don't like his polite drum pads at all

lex pretend, Tuesday, 23 June 2015 11:45 (eight years ago) link

pretty underwhelmed by this one tbh :(

lil urbane (Jordan), Tuesday, 23 June 2015 12:07 (eight years ago) link

I was hoping for something elongated and pseudo-ambient and pretty, based on the running times, and that's exactly what I've got, so super happy. Perfect record for sitting in the livingroom with a baby to.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 23 June 2015 12:19 (eight years ago) link

First ive heard about this but if the running times averages 7 minutes 20 then I will be purchasing this immediately, although I am a little worried that my living room isn't really decorated suitably as we ran out of money when doing the extension, so at least part of me is wondering whether to play this in the Audi instead

anvil, Tuesday, 23 June 2015 12:32 (eight years ago) link

2 tracks, 20 minutes each.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 23 June 2015 12:35 (eight years ago) link

Oh that means it will work in the garden as well! We've cleared the undergrowth at the end of the garden so now we have sole access to the stream that runs along the bottom there, this sounds like it will be perfect for playing there in the summer evenings

anvil, Tuesday, 23 June 2015 13:07 (eight years ago) link

Fell in love with this record on first listen.

octobeard, Thursday, 25 June 2015 01:32 (eight years ago) link

i prefer the evening side. not 100% sold on either side though.

the late great, Thursday, 25 June 2015 01:52 (eight years ago) link

I love "Morning Side" - anything that reminds me of Jurgen Paape's "So Weit Wie Noch Nie" is a good thing and this instance it is a very good thing.

boxedjoy, Monday, 29 June 2015 22:26 (eight years ago) link

i still like this a lot but i'm maybe more into the compilation of tracks he released under the "percussions" name. lex if you feel like the rhythm on this is too polite, you might like some of it. the tracks are more dj-oriented but very good on their own too. i do like the rhythm on this too though, where it's a little turned down and cushy but still playful. the sample and the synths are glorious, obv, but what i really like about it is how casual and unpretentious it comes across as while still being kind of a trip. i'm not sure i can say what i mean by this but it sounds like he's turned the ableton production environment into his own home, taking what's digital and "correct" about the software and making it feel lived-in and alive in a certain way. that way could be criticized as a little too reliant on a glass/eno/lite ambient sensibility maybe but i feel like there's more to it than that, an appreciation of uk dance music for one. and to my ears it sounds like he's getting good / better at making straight house beats underneath the sounds / notes / compositions.

Really nice review on Consequence of Sound: http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/06/album-review-four-tet-morningevening/

Something about this record feels quite 'live' or 'improvised', somehow; not like Holden or Luke Abbott, and I suspect it's not 'live' at all in any conventional sense, but it feels quite free.

I adore the last 7 minutes or so of Evening Side, when it just depletes to nothing but drums. Reminds me of the end of the last track on The Field's second album, which I adore.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 30 June 2015 10:21 (eight years ago) link

Reminds me of the end of the last track on The Field's second album

Ahhh - that's why it felt familiar! Been bugging me for a few days, that.

I'm really enjoyng this album, much more so than Beautiful Rewind, which I never grew to love.

Steve Reich In The Afternoon (Against The 80s), Tuesday, 30 June 2015 10:39 (eight years ago) link

Morning side is amazing, can't wait to get a copy of this. It's maybe the song I've heard this year that's resonated the most emotionally with me.

niels, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 11:02 (eight years ago) link

Morning Side definitely better than Evening.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Tuesday, 30 June 2015 12:23 (eight years ago) link

I dunno, I adore Evening Side. Especially when the drums come in for the last six minutes or so.

Playing the hell out of this album already.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 6 July 2015 13:01 (eight years ago) link

This feels like minor Four Tet to me. He really over eggs that sample on "Morning".

Position Position, Monday, 6 July 2015 14:00 (eight years ago) link

You're over egged, mate.

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 03:20 (eight years ago) link

You've over egged yourself.

As far as overly "polite drum pads" are concerned, 4tets has released pure drum tracks in the past that could give Carl Craig a run for his money. If he's polite on this then it's an aesthetic decision.
