this would be better if someone put a donk on it

or at least turned the drums way up, they've got a good shuffle.

the late great, Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:30 (eight years ago) link

hopefully there will be remixes

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:30 (eight years ago) link

tlg, I love you as much as I love Matteesslessness, I'm mostly listening to love jam by sound stream over and over again. Other than that I don't have any great suggestions!

i remember he did something similar wrt turning the drums down on glassbeadgames with martyn last year. maybe not as pronounced though.

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:42 (eight years ago) link

jed have you heard the new sound stream record?

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:44 (eight years ago) link

Actually M-lessness is my man so.

Is it worth mentioning that I insanely drunk?

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:44 (eight years ago) link

lol good!!

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:47 (eight years ago) link

Jed you're lovely and i'm fond of your display name.

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:48 (eight years ago) link

It's a good one!

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:51 (eight years ago) link

i'm afraid the b-sides of the new sound stream might do jed in, in his condition

morning is pretty cool but i prefer how he goes into full-blown the orb territory in evening

the late great, Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:52 (eight years ago) link

again though, drums at the end too quiet

the late great, Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:53 (eight years ago) link

i put 'morning side' in a practice set with some delay over it yesterday and cried a little bit, true story.

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:54 (eight years ago) link

need to give evening another go

e-bouquet (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 04:55 (eight years ago) link

What's the new sound stream called? Not v easy to search for.

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Wednesday, 8 July 2015 05:00 (eight years ago) link

bass affairs / sweep magic / star strike

The Percussions thing is lovely. Kind of sad it's not just labelled 'Four Tet' and stuck out as another new album.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 9 July 2015 12:13 (eight years ago) link

This arrived today. Sounds glorious on the "big" speakers.

Steve Reich In The Afternoon (Against The 80s), Friday, 10 July 2015 10:55 (eight years ago) link

I usually find Four Tet a bit hit and miss - he has a tendency to overdo the prettiness and slip into cloying territory, but this really is glorious.

Matt DC, Friday, 10 July 2015 11:19 (eight years ago) link

It's probably closest to There is Love in You, which is my favourite Four Tet album.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 10 July 2015 11:26 (eight years ago) link

Currently making me happy: those Orbital-esque bassy synth sweeps that come in after 45 seconds of 'Morning Side'

Steve Reich In The Afternoon (Against The 80s), Friday, 10 July 2015 12:39 (eight years ago) link

For some reason I thought this was out in August but have just confirmed with local record store they'll get it next week can't wait

We finally did another record club and I played this: http://devonrecordclub.com/2015/09/14/four-tet-morningevening-round-83-nicks-choice/

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 14 September 2015 16:50 (eight years ago) link

I've actually only managed to listen to this twice through, the track lengths are a bit daunting.

Steve Reich In The Afternoon (Against The 80s), Tuesday, 21 June 2016 12:30 (seven years ago) link

Know a couple of these from singles - Pockets (Minimal) is lush and funky. Glad he's stuck stuff together.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 21 June 2016 12:42 (seven years ago) link

Pockets (Minimal) is lush and funky.

I'd not heard that one before, but it's ace. Reminds me of the Ringer e.p., which is still my favourite Four Tet release.

Steve Reich In The Afternoon (Against The 80s), Tuesday, 21 June 2016 15:25 (seven years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Having been listening to the whole thing, it slots pretty neatly in between Ringer and There Is Love In You, for the most part. Remarkably cohesive in feel, actually - although that might just be because he's so far into an aesthetic now that there's no getting out. Which some no doubt see as boring, but I find what he does right up my street with alarming consistency. Hint towards Morning/Evening in "Gillie Amma I Love You". I'd say this is as good as any of his recent albums.

i missed this new one, adding that to my broken and creaky mental pile.

i'm going back to "morning" at ... 6:00 this morning and what I can't believe I didn't realize about it before was that it's working music, it's meant to be part of the fabric of a life working, a scene of work in the morning, domestic or virtualized. i think of hebden in an airport, doing work on his laptop, bringing a sense of home to his desktop. it sounds pragmatic and intimate to me in the way that the ragas it's obviously based on are, meant to instill a sense of harmony and peace and love in work.

Planet is gorgeous. Sounds like a combination of his various periods.

chap, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 10:47 (six years ago) link

yup, it's nice to see this "holistic" development

niels, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 11:02 (six years ago) link

really enjoying this. reminding me to listen to 0181 again.

plax (ico), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 16:32 (six years ago) link

"Two Thousand and Seventeen" was good too

Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 16:00 (six years ago) link

cool, I'd missed that!

niels, Wednesday, 16 August 2017 16:27 (six years ago) link

SW9 9SL - beats on this are straight up from Luomo The Right Wing.

MikoMcha, Friday, 25 August 2017 05:59 (six years ago) link

sounds great!

do you mean to suggest that it's plagiarism or just as good as Luomo?

I love Four Tet's drums, they sound deceptively simple but they're so unique (and banging!), his biggest "tell" imo

niels, Friday, 25 August 2017 07:30 (six years ago) link

Ummm.. sounds like a homage to me. The track ends up doing a whole bunch of other things also!

MikoMcha, Friday, 25 August 2017 07:37 (six years ago) link

Just listening to this for the first time.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 25 August 2017 08:21 (six years ago) link

I haven't been feeling the rest of the new stuff but SW9 9SL is fantastic.

Matt DC, Friday, 25 August 2017 08:39 (six years ago) link
