Mano Le Tough - Changing Days

Like, if you're only half paying attention to it then "Everything You've Done Before" just sounds nice, but it's actually probably the most dense and involving piece he's done to date.

first listen didn't do it for me. it's got a slower, kinda warm vibe, like fin or the occasional nicolas jaar track. i guess i don't find it particularly warm despite trying for density and lushness. the hivern stuff feels organic, this just feels tinny.

i'll give it another spin though

i don't really mind the vox, with seandalai pretty much

don't hear much dense or involving about "everything you've done before" though that is prob as close to a standout as the album gets and the piano line is nicely hypnotic

i just listened again with my FULL ATTENTION and still not hearing anything special, soz

i enjoyed this a lot and am pleased that talabot upgrades are available on a 12 month contract. perhaps not as immediately portentous as the latter but i found it richly, subtly textured and similarly engrossing

have changed the cover art to tim's og post though cos the actual one is fucking horrid

it's a shame to pick anything out really but 'a thing from above' is partic splendid (the air-iest cut i guess) and the one track the whole would suffer most without imo

one listen as yet though tbf

'A Thing From Above' is amazing, it's the one that made my ears prick up when I was listening not-particularly-closely for the first time. That and the strings on the title track, and I like 'The Sea Inside'.

My frustrations with this are similar to the ones I had with Fin, both records are ostensibly melodic, not too concerned with the dancefloor, but curiously reluctant to really go all out for the melodic opulence of those early singles and remixes.

I'm somewhere in the middle I guess, liking the album but agree that it doesn't match the singles. Vocals bugged my on the first couple of tracks but they get toned down a bit after that I think. "Dreaming Youth" probably my favorite track on this. It's been rainy here the last few days and this album suited the mood.

this is on spotify now gonna listen in the next few days. in the meantime this remix has corkscrewed itself into my brain:

yeah that songs fucking great

tyson remix is awesome

i love this

it's amazing how often someone has recommended a track to me and i've realized "oh this was on the dixon/ame boiler room mix"

Haha agreed

pleased that talabot upgrades are available on a 12 month contract

lol & otm. This reminds me of the talabot lp in that it's a split-second comedown from the singles followed by a protracted infatuation

I've heard a few Mano Le Tough mixes now and he always seems to have amazing taste.

This album is really good for a hangover.

Playing in SF Friday.

Tim F what was your favorite track?

im taking time to catch up on all the nonrap ive been missing

"Primitive People" (the corniest but still the best) and "Everything You've Done Before".

But Deej actually better than this and more essential for the catching up are the following Young Marco tracks: "Darwin in Bahia", "Video Days", "Later Than U Think".

whats the deal w/ his new album? https://www.xlr8r.com/features/2015/11/interview-mano-le-tough/

i mean, has anyone heard it, is it good

Only heard it once but the main thing that struck me was I wasn't keen on his decision to sing

anytime a techno producer decides to sing, it will be a disaster. glad I know his ego has gotten the better of him, won't bother with this at all now.

haven't digested this properly yet, there are some good tracks but I don't think either of his albums stand up to his (stellar imo) EPs.
