i like it quite a bit. sonic nods to "to here knows when", particularly a part about 2/3 in that even briefly takes on the same melody

actually, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that whatever combo of pedals and instruments making the loudest noises in this is pretty much the same combo that produced the noises in "to here knows when". i assume he just steps on the "plane wing space distortion closeup psych trip meltdown jetstream" button and bends the results back and forth a bit

I was certainly hoping for something a little more adventurous since the track is a collaboration with Eno. It's pretty standard stuff. And it could comfortably fit in an intro to a Sigur Ros song circa the parenthesis/brackets (()) album (I mention them as a band who exploited this sound the most in recent times).
I have found that Eno pushed himself a little more, or at least produced more captivating or interesting sounds, when working with Harmonia. I listen to a few of their tracks every so often and the nature and treatment of the tones is so captivating that it's hypnotic. I think even after all these years, some of their tracks sound refreshing, whereas this new track sounds like some stock samples, though I'm not saying they are.

I liked that but it needed to be 35min long and through the stereo and with me not at work listening to other people's phone calls.
Weirdly, it's been on Adult Swim Singles' Soundcloud page for two days and has only had 21 plays.

Holy shit, that is something I never expected to happen. Sounds great to me, basically exactly as billed.

that's an example of 1+1<1, so generic and boring. two of the most interesting musicians working together and creating nothing.

sounded okay on headphones but sounds amazing on sound system at home. love all mbv but they can be a little claustrophobic at times in terms of mixing/mastering, love how spacious this is. would be thrilled if the new record were more 'songy' but with this depth of sound
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 25 October 2017 23:48 (six years ago) link
this is pretty rad. glad i waited until it was dark and lit some candles for this. oh yeah.
i like how raw it sounds. sounds like a live mix or something. lovely washes of sound. i like hearing the rhythm submerge for minutes at a time and maybe you just get it from the bass or something. wonderful.

This is great, very much in the vein of Shields' other "ambient" pieces on that 'Offbeat' compilation and for La La La Human Steps - the track "2" from that time is one of my favorites.
